MealMixer's
Diet Planners produce a comprehensive weekly
diet plan for you, integrated with a
family meal plan. We do this based on a lot of pretty cool technology that matches your taste, dieting strategy, time constraints, and specific dieting goals.
The whole process of getting exactly the right plan for you and your family for the week is simple and straightforward, regardless of how intricately you want to track your diet. Here are the general steps involved:
1 You start each week with either a blank plan, or plan that you've used before (you get these from your archives). If you're starting from scratch, we'll suggest meals for each day and meal of the week that fit into your specific
diet. All you need to do is choose which meals you're in the mood for and we'll do the rest. As you select meals, we automatically scale the dishes (recipes and individual items) to match BOTH your diet and the size of your family and put them on your menu.
And here's the
good part. You'll be able to eat foods that you wouldn't normally consider being on a diet plan. This is because it's all about portion control, and we handle telling you what those portions are. This is all part of our comprehensive approach to allow you to adopt and maintain
healthy eating habits.
That's it! But...
The good news is that
you're not locked into our suggestions. You can tweak your meal plan by easily copying meals to different days of the week, plan for leftovers, etc. You can also add individual items to any day/meal, copy them, move them, etc. As you do this we keep track of how you're doing relative to your diet plan, and let you know when you're over or under where you should be.
You can also plan your exercise for the week. This is a great way to
lose weight and eat more of the delicious food you prepare!
2 When your plan is the way you want it, you simply
print it, which automatically archives it for future use. This is when you finalize your
grocery list for the week. You can add/subtract anything from the list we automatically make for you.
3 Throughout the week you can visit MealMixer to record how you're doing on a day-to-day basis. This isn't a requirement at all, since you'll get most of the benefit of your diet plan by simply doing your planning, having the right foods on hand to eat, and following the menu. But if you want to get detailed and track what you're doing (for example, if you're working with a dietitian or personal trainer), you can :
- update the amount of each dish you actually ate
- add additional things you ate
- record your exercise
At the end of the week you can re-print your plan (re-archive it) and, if you're working with a dietitian using our
Professional Diet Planner, you can send it to them, or have them login to view it directly on MealMixer.
Using these simple steps each week allows you to attain your dietary goals, whether they be
weight loss, avoiding
food allergies, keeping your
diabetes in check, or all of the above.
