Women's Diets

It’s hard to lose or maintain a healthy weight when your focus is off you, and on your children, partner, school work, or something else. Maintaining a healthy body weight and losing weight can be especially hard for women as they have different metabolic needs than a man of the same height and weight and age.
Just think what happens to a woman during and following pregnancy?  What  about the family cook? The high stress job? Being in school?

How can our diet help?
PersonalDiets gives you 3 main meals daily, plus one or two snacks depending upon the calories our expert determines you need (based upon your health & current activity).  There are no foods you can’t eat but there are foods the dietitian will recommend you eat less often if you have health issues.  Your Personal Dietitian (a registered dietitian develops & modifies your diet as needed) provides you a personalized meal plan, a professional diet assessment & personal recommendations, eating guidelines that correspond to your dietary needs and our exclusive Plan-A-Meal tool that allow you add, sort and customize foods your prefer over the original diet suggestions and recommendations in your diet plan. 
Both the recommended diet and our exclusive Plan-A-Meal
tool use foods based upon your needs so you get foods you want but unlimited flexibility of choice if needed.  

Is PersonalDiets more practical than other diets & why? 
To be truly practical a diet should fit your eating preferences & lifestyle so you don’t go “on your diet" then quickly return to your old habits after you've achieved your goals.  How do PersonalDiets help?  We provide each dieter with:  eating guidelines, a diet assessment & personal recommendations, a maintenance diet & many other proprietary diet program items to prevent “on-again off-again" dieting mentality. Without such measures the likelihood you'll simply put back on the same weight (or even more) after the diet ends is an almost inevitability; just look at diet celebrity spokespersons and other you know who have dieted on almost any commercial diet you can think of. 
This is why
PersonalDiets places so much emphasis on the importance of our diet's  flexibility, lifestyle considerations, your eating preferences our diet's convenience, etc.  These are all “key” to our diet or any other diet's successful outcome in the short and long term. 

Women and Weight Loss
Women have extra body fat to begin with by their physical make-up, and women often struggle with body image
and weight gain (esp. following the birth of children). Have you noticed that most quick weight loss schemes are directed at women? Yet this is the worst road for a women to take when it comes to weight control!

Chances are that if you're an adult woman with some extra body weight, you've spent a good deal of your life struggling to eat less, and in the process you've been getting less of the nutrition you need for energy and for good health.  A very large person can afford to eat 1000 fewer calories a day and still lose weight - a smaller women who tries this will be eating too far below the calories they need to sustain a healthy body, so quick, drastic diets are not the answer for anyone, especially not for women!

Our lifestyles as women dictate when, what, and how often we eat, and this in turn affects our ability to diet.  Many women snack instead of eating a meal, dine out frequently, or eat mostly convenience foods. As nutrition professionals, dietitians are trained to help you eat to meet your personal goals. By designing your diet and taking your lifestyle into consideration, we can offer you the tools you need to help you follow your plan to a successful outcome.

Your Diet...
People who diet, especially smaller people, and especially women, are getting smarter about diet (many have learned the hard way). They now recognize that lasting weight control comes when new eating habits are developed that really last (a lifestyle diet) and that these same habits and foods you eat to lose weight are the same good foods that help you maintain your desired body weight.

My Experience with PersonalDiets

"I felt as though I hadn't been an active participant in my own life for many years, and I was tired of it. I am now 53 years old and my daughter will graduate from high school in a few years. I want to get out and enjoy my life when she leaves and not sit at home and feel sorry for myself because I can't get up and move.
 
I've been on many diets over the years but have never found a plan that actually taught me
how to eat. While searching online I almost went with another company but then stumbled across PersonalDiets. I liked the idea of having the support but not actually having to leave home to get it. While at home I can plan my menu's, weigh in, fill out my calendar, and email for help with any question that comes up. I've never had to wait over 24 hours for a reply. And because my diet was made specifically for me, I like knowing that the dietician actually took the time to read my questionnaire and she has my best interest at heart.
 
Although I didn't specifically ask for a high blood pressure diet, I do take medication for it and the dietician addressed that in my custom plan. When I last saw my doctor I told her how much weight I had lost and she was thrilled. My blood pressure was lower that day so I asked her if I could hope on either cutting down or getting off my medication all together. She enthusiastically said "YES", and that I could start tapering off if I wanted to. I monitor my blood pressure and still take medication but only every 3 days.
  
At first the plan confused me but once I learned how to use the Plan-a-Meal to customize my meals, I saw that the food combinations were endless! You can't possibly get bored on this diet. If you're running short on time you can even have an approved TV dinner! But the most exciting part is that I have made this such a natural transition into my life, that it is just a food plan to me, not a diet anymore. I now see how foods can work, either with me or against me, and it's up to me to make the best choices. With this plan, I now have the tools to do that.

I now want to exercise because it's fun. I do the Curves/Zumba circuit 3 times a week and fill in the rest of the week with either Zumba at home or walking. I have now lost 50 pounds and have set a tentative goal to lose 10 more. But depending on how I look and feel at that weight, I may go for another 10. I don't expect to be a size 2 but rather am realistic about what I can do for myself to feel healthy. My husband has also lost 30 pounds just by eating what I do, except I give him more. Oh, I can't forget all of the recipes available. I print them up and put them in a binder so they're easy to get to and follow.
 
I have not felt this good about myself in many years. I'm more outgoing and happy and like all the compliments I'm getting. I truly believe that if I had not found PersonalDiets I would not have been as successful and would still be struggling. It is really the easiest plan I have ever been on and also the best fit for my pocketbook. Please don't go looking for the miracle quick fixes, they don't exist. This plan is well rounded and healthy with the best support around."
