No Dietitian Support

Have a problem with your diet plan? While some sites answer questions in forums or use technicians, professional support is not an option.

Lack of Choice

Most online diets limit beyond what is beneficial and needed & don't have the needed expertise to do otherwise.
Difficult to Track Portions

Tracking and diet is unrealistic to follow for more than 1 -2 weeks.
Where's the Diet?

Many online diet plans either offer you their "personalized diet" generic menu (far from a custom diet) or do nothing more than track what you eat.
Lack of Flexibility

Most online diet plans allow only limited recipes AND restrict food choices making dieting impractical & time consuming. Additionally, they do not allow adding custom foods to plans AND do not have experts to add foods you want in your meal plan.
No Personal Diet Assessment & No Personal Recommendations

No professional diet assessments or recommendations as diets are 100% automated.
Lack of Proven Outcomes

Most online diets lack data to support their claims of success.

PersonalDiets Makes Online Professional Help a Reality for Health & Weight-Loss Needs Consider what you typically eat and what's needed for you to succeed at losing weight and keeping it off. The closer your weight loss diet is to your current diet the more like you can stick to it and the more likely it is that you can keep off the weight long term if you don't go off of it and only increase calories to a maintenance calories.

Other diets are not custom - they're personalized!
Diets like these only have limited food choices. PersonalDiets technology allows greater customization of each members diet providing them with virtually unlimited choices. With Plan-a-Meal you or your dietitian can individualize you diet plans. Clients seeking to lose weight or improve their health through better diet receive what they need most: their own personal plan designed by a nutrition expert along with the flexibility to make changes that meet real-life situations, yourself.

"Plan-a-Meal's primary purpose is to help our clients make it easy to follow the expert advice that we provide and put their plans into action quickly and easily," says Carolyn Classick-Kohn, M.S., R.D., co-founder of Personal Dietitian. "We keep it simple by using a specialized database and online administration tool that guides clients in choosing the right foods for their calorie levels and health needs," she adds.

The personalization process begins when a new subscriber completes a diet-habit survey that identifies objectives, personal statistics, health-related requirements, lifestyle data and food-consumption information. The metrics are entered into a database and reviewed by a registered dietitian who creates a customized meal plan -- the Dietitian's Recommended Diet -- reflecting the individual's preferences in terms of cooking, eating convenience foods or dining out.

Plan-a-Meal starts with an exchange system but goes several steps further to give people greater flexibility in making substitutions and in having control over what they eat. The program incorporates calories and portion sizing, the two most critical diet elements. This combination makes the Plan-a-Meal approach truly user friendly so customers can switch from exchanges to calorie or portion-size information when appropriate, like eating in restaurants.

"Despite all the excitement over low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets, the glycemic index and volumetric eating," notes Classick-Kohn, "only calorie and portion control consistently lead to weight loss."

Plan-a-Meal gives people the flexibility to choose their own foods for a week, a day or even a single meal. Its EZ Customized Grocery Lists are based on the individual's choices, making it easier to plan meals. A tracking function helps maintain running consumption totals so users will know exactly how many calories are left for the day as each food is entered.

A base subscription for custom diet is offered for a three-month period and there is also three-month no support option available.
