EventsWhat’s the worst thing about Diet Doctor?
in Surveys 
Please note: When we ask member questions we normally use multiple choice. However, this question was free text only. To represent the answers in a simple manner we have categorized them. This categorization is not perfect.
* The “Other” category is significant and includes answers such as “No forum or other social functionality”, “Some rude and biased communication reduces trust”, “Improve the get started challenge with more meal plans etc.” and more.
We Are Far From Perfect
It’s nice to hear that 20% of our members feel “nothing is worst” about Diet Doctor. Thank you.
But, most members think we can do better. Sure we can – we’re just getting started. Making low carb simple will take years, but we’re going to do it – on step at the time.
Some comments:
It’s hard to find things on the site, for example recipes
We agree. After this survey went out we have made two main improvements:
1. Added a large “Low-Carb Recipes” picture on the front page.
2. Added advanced recipe search:
More is required to simplify navigation. We’re adding video search and we will improve search at DietDoctor.com in general. We’re also discussing how to best structure everything on the site in smarter ways in the future.
The user experience for videos etc. is not simple enough
Again, we agree. Our goal is to create a video experience as great as that of Netflix (or better). We’re not at all there yet, but we’ll be adding video search (extremely soon), “Add video to my favourites”, “Videos I have watched”, “Watch video later” and other nice things soon.
The membership is too expensive
Is it? For some, yes, $9 a month can be too much – especially if you’re from a poor country on a low salary or if you’ve lost your job. We’ll probably add lower prices for low-income countries in the future.
However, for most people in western countries we feel the price is fair. And, eating low carb will likely save you money. Not a bad investment. Also, it’s always possible to just use the free one month trial.
We have no plans to change the price of the membership but we will be adding more products all the time and vastly improving what’s already there.
There’s not enough new membership material
Currently we publish two new videos a week and there are now more than 140 videos on the membership site – all in super high quality. As soon as we’re able to we’ll add even more new videos, faster.
But, video production and editing is expensive, and we think spending resources on additional ways of making low carb simple is also a very good idea. Later this year we aim to add a new product to the membership – we think you’ll find it exciting!

I've had tremendous health benefits from keto, including nearly vanished IBS pains. But though I was convinced, I was reluctant to take it into my work as an employed doctor in a general practice. I was worried about the concequences of veering from conventional recommendation.
To no small amount your work and the scientific evidence you provide has contributed to me finally being able to take it beyond my own personal experience with LCHF, and start more confidently recommending it to patients and working with them on implementing this lifestyle. I'm excited about this oportunity and cannot wait to see how my patients will be doing! I wish more of them spoke English so I could refer all of them to your site.
Thank you again for all your great work and effort, it's making a huge difference.
Yep, great suggestion, we're thinking of this.
Considering how to improve navigation, this is one of the areas that need improvement.
Your website is WONDERFUL and has changed the way I prepare meals for my family. I am not obese, but definitely improved my eating habits wit LCHF. The feeling of being hungry is gone and I have a clear and more serene mind now. It's unbelibable that to eat foods such as butter and bacon made such a huge difference. In Latin America $9 is a month of netflix suscription and people pay it. People do not need to be suscripted forever. Just the time to learn enough and put things in practice. The information you produce worth it!
Thank you very much for the amazing work you and your team do! :)
We're considering this, or something even better for Spanish speaking people – it will definitely happen eventually.
There is no reason to have that light facing
the audience. I couldn't sit through all the
presentations in San Diego last weekend
because of that light. It is unreasonable
for you to put that light behind the speakers.
Please consider that you are damaging the
retinas of some people in the audience for
your vain desire to make your videos (what?)
infinitesimally "better".
"... backlight is the most important..." Oh, stop. It is not.
"...you'll enjoy the end result." Implying that without
backlight, nobody could possibly enjoy your videos?
Yes, it is damaging and annoying (and selfish).
carb tolerant and you think other people should
be able to eat just as many carbs as you. That's
unreasonable. It's the same with eyes. You
have dark brown eyes. I have light blue eyes.
It's unreasonable to think I can tolerate the same
amount of light pointed at my eyes as you can.
Panda would be great. HFLC SHOULD Include Time restricted feeding.
