Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) January 10, 2007

The premier online destination for millions of Hispanics, launches a new look and feel with key features aimed at helping its members achieve weight-loss (http://www. midieta. com) goals and improve their health.

According to Robert Estrada, President, CEO and founder of DrTango, Inc., provider of the MiDieta™ program, obesity is a major and growing problem among U. S. Hispanics with serious implications for diabetes and other chronic disease risks.

Since 2000, MiDieta™ has been helping Hispanic/Latinos lose weight (http://www. midieta. com/c_baja_de_peso. aspx? id=36), improve their health, and reduce disease with the program developed by Latinos for Latinos. Our new website has been designed with state-of-the-art features to help the Hispanic community achieve better health through weight loss, with an emphasis on the support of our expert dietitians and a more aggressive approach to help people make permanent changes in their lifestyle", said Estrada.

A revolutionary characteristic of MiDieta™ are the people who support members in achieving their goals. A culturally-appropriate weight-management portal, supported by dietitians available for counseling through live chat, email and telephone, offers an attractive option for Hispanics. MiDieta is bilingual (Spanish/English), based on Latino foods & habits" said Dr. Dirk G. Schroeder, Executive VP, DrTango Inc.

Until recently, MiDieta™ was only available online or through leading hospitals and healthcare institutions. This award-winning program has been recognized by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services and featured in research studies funded by the prestigious Robert Wood Johnson Foundation" continues Dr. Schroeder.

Now, for the first time, this very same online diet and weight-loss (http://www. midieta. com) program used by the country's leading healthcare and media companies is available directly to the Hispanic consumer in the privacy of her or his home. The new MiDieta™ is the result of over six years of testing and development and incorporates suggestions from hundreds of thousands of Hispanic dieters!" concludes Dr. Dirk Schroeder.
