Summary

Personal Dietician's Director of Nutrition & Chief Dietitian is Carolyn Classick-Kohn, MS, Rd. She has lectured to medical students, teachers, company employees, and college students. She has also co-authored articles in the Journal of the American Dietitian's Association and The Lancet as well as the cookbook section of The New American Diet System, published by Simon & Schuster.

How The Program Works

This company claims to examine a person's health parameters more extensively than eDiets.com. The plan claims to produce weight loss of 1.5 lbs. per week.

The personalization process begins when a new subscriber completes a diet habits 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 dietician 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. Each personal diet considers your current weight, gender, age, health, activity level and lifestyle.

Access to your Personal Diet is through your own "My Personal Diet Homepage". By logging in with your personal password, you have access to a diet that fits your needs. Everything is accessible through your Homepage, your diet, your flexible meal plan, diet tracking, etc.

The company's personalized diets allow you to chose recipe plans, convenience or combination diet options. They match your eating style and preferences. You can create virtually unlimited diet plans.

There are several interactive tools available to you...

* Ask Your Personal Dietitian

* The "Weekly Focus"

* Daily Diet Tips

You are able to keep track of your foods online as you eat - or print out your meal plans and tracker and check off foods as you go.

Another option is to join Diet Pals, an optional peer support program for members only.

You can either email your diet expert for confidential help (24/7) or contact hthem from within the member's only area "Frequently Asked Questions" Support Forum. You can also access the company's premiere Diet Center site at www.personal-diet.com. It is one of the largest diet centers online.

New Developments

As of January 11, 2006, Personal Dietitian has launched its Plan-a-Meal™  program to guide individuals in choosing healthy foods for their restaurant, packages-food and cook-at-home dining. The new program, available at www.a-personaldietitian.com, combines the convenience of purchased food programs like Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers, the flexibility of online and menu plans and the easy access of diets like South beach.

Comment

This company and website has about seven years’ operating experience to point to, a good track record. Also, there is plenty of online support, the cost of the plan is on a par with other diet websites such as eDiets.com and dietwatch.com ($90/year), and the plan is flexible for people with special needs. What makes this company’s online counseling very good is that the counselors are actually people with some professional background related to weight loss, such as dietitians. Moreover, a-personaldietitian.com offers members strong analysis and tracking tools.  The website is well designed and user friendly. Guided tours are available to help explain all the program’s features. In BestDietForMe.com’s opinion, the main strength of this plan/website is that it was designed by people with solid backgrounds in nutrition – RDs. The only drawback we see is that psychological issues related to emotional eating don't seem to be addressed as much as comparable websites such as Dietwatch.com.
