Our most exciting feature yet! Introducing personalized meal plans

December 17 2020 by , medical review by in About membership, Meal plans

Want to reach your weight loss and health goals faster? We’re excited to announce a brand-new member benefit of Diet Doctor: personalized meal plans.

Get what you want, how you want it. You’ll receive delicious, healthy recipes with all the planning done for you. Tell us what your health goals are and what you like to eat. In minutes, you’ll have a custom-made keto or low-carb meal plan. It’s the perfect meal plan for you.

Start now

Don’t eat dairy, eggs, seafood, or pork? We’ll remove those. Only have a short amount of time to cook? No problem. We’ll only add fast and easy recipes to your plan.

Perhaps you want to save time by making extra for dinner and have the leftovers for lunch the next day? We’ll make sure your plan has that. Or, if you have a nut allergy, we’ll remove any recipes with nuts.

One of the best parts about personalized meal plans is that nothing is set in stone. If you don’t like a recipe — or don’t have the ingredients or time required to make it — we’ll give you a new meal suggestion.

How can you start using personalized meal plans now? It’s simple. First, we’ll ask you a few questions about yourself. We’ll also ask about your weight loss goals, what you enjoy eating, how much time you have to cook, and your health status.

Once you’ve taken the survey — which only takes a few minutes to complete — you’ll get your meal plan. It will have the exact amount of carbs, protein, and total calories needed to reach your goals, with the recipes we think you’ll love.

To get started, head over to the personalized meal plan survey and submit your preferences to create your plan. Soon, you’ll get access to simple and tasty daily recipes, plus convenient shopping lists.

Not yet a member and want to try it out? No problem! Simply sign up for a FREE 30-day trial, and you’ll be able to access free personalized meal plans for the next month.

Once you've logged in, click on your name and you will see "my meal plans" in the dropdown menu below your name.

I've been having loads of fun playing with this new feature! There are a few funky aspects to it, such as iced tea being considered a breakfast, but they're easily edited. I like having the option to NOT have leftovers for lunch, thus getting more recipes to choose from during a given week and being able to make my own leftover adjustments. So cool!

This is awesome! Just a suggestion, allow a way to exclude soy/tofu from the protein options and/or the other foods to avoid options. Some people avoid soy or just really don't like the soy based protein options. :)

I do have one question, once I select a Time to Cook preference (Minimal/Average/Plenty) do I get recipes that only fit with the selected cooking time or do I get recipes with the specified cooking time and below? For example, I would like to receive recipes in my plan that have a cooking time of average and minimal, but I can only select one or the other. If I pick average, will I also get recipes with minimal cooking time in the mix?

Thank you very much for your feedback! I will check with the rest of the team to find out about the cooking times.

I just did this. So fun! I haven't played with it enough to make a constructive suggestion yet, but I think it's a fantastic addition. I love that I can still adjust the number of servings, etc.

I also need to avoid soy (and nuts and dairy) so I agree with Kristin Parker’s comment.

Is it possible to delay the start? I would like to set the plan to start in say 3 days, as I am shielding a vulnerable husband all my grocery shopping is done on line, so need to prepare to start, ie once I can see the menu plan I need to order the appropriate items Many thanks. I love the principle of having a plan tailored to suit my needs. Well done everyone 👏👏

Awesome! Thank you so much Team DD!. This tool is like a Christmas gift. I have a lot of recipes in my favorite, and I will start to play to introduce them in my plan. I have a request about the recipes: When the recipes have the principal meal, and a side, and sometime 2 sides it will be great to get the carbs slip, so we can decide to not do the side, because it's add up to much carb. Specially for a very low Keto day (total carbs less than 20 gr).

This is a feature yet to come :) For now, if you create a meal plan mid-week, the generator will create a partial week and a full week. Click on the date range for the next full week, or the partial week if that is what you want, and you can access the shopping list for just that period.

this looks amazing ... I will do it once I'm through the holiday stuff ... I'd like to see a place where alternatives are shared. for example I don't eat pork but I recently discovered beef bacon.. which is thin slices of marbled beef .. think jerky ... and it works in most reciepes as replacement... but this doesn't solve it in other places. some have the alternatives at the bottom ... like for shell fish .. maybe a way to advertise it more so we don't just rush past them? I'm looking forward to trying this soon.

Thanks for your feedback, Yvonne! You could certainly sub the beef bacon for regular bacon in any of our recipes. We also have a substitution guide that may be helpful for you! https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/recipes/substitution-guide

Looks interesting. Would be great if data were stored in the EU instead.

I'd like to second the motion of being able to exclude soy at some point in the survey settings. God Jul!

Great idea but needs some work. In what universe is rib-eye and lobster tail (my first two meals) budget friendly? I've tried to 'edit' my preferences but that goes nowhere

Hi Cassieoz!

Thanks for the feedback, this was a mistake in the settings of those recipes. Should be fixed now!

Best,

The meals look interesting and tasty ( as aalways!) but one thing I was hoping for but was disappointed not to see.
I am a 2 meals per day person, but they are breakfast and dinner, not lunch and dinner, so 12/12.
Could that question be edited to ask which meals you eat, rather than assume you're either 8/8/8 or 18/6?
Thanks!
