Who are we?Personalized Eating Plans
Personal Dietitian (dietbattles.com flagship site) was founded in 1999, and specializes in providing personalized diets for both men and women, custom-tailored to their specific needs.  Going beyond corporate-based diet programs, Personal Dietitian supports their clients with access to ongoing help from registered dietitians (the recognized nutrition experts), counselors and fitness instructional programs designed by a certified personal trainer. Unlike typical online corporate diet sites that provide a single approach to users and are limited to computer generated menu plans, Personal Dietitian's uses a "user friendly" personal approach by providing individual diet assessments, and designing diet programs based upon client's individual diet preferences, health needs, and lifestyle considerations. 

 

Diets should be easy to follow, practical & convenient; therefore custom designed!

The niche for Personal Dietitian in the highly competitive weight loss and diet market is to make expert professional diet help highly accessible and affordable to all those who want it. It provides a unique combination of personal, professional expertise with the user friendly and convenient "24-7" environment of an internet based program. 

Personal Dietitian surpasses other popular online diet website services because it doesn't share the inherent limitations of database programs and computer generated meal plans -"one size fits all" approach. Instead, Personal Dietitian models its program on the true nutrition counseling experience, using a proprietary technology that provides an accurate and scientifically valid assessment of an individual's current eating habits. 

"Assessing a person's current diet habits is the first and most critical step in providing a successful diet plan, and it's missing in all the programs I've seen on the web," observes Carolyn Classick-Kohn, MS, RD, founder of
the A Personal Dietitian Company.

The PersonalDiets plan includes a complete support program which offers a variety of checks and balances including dietitians, counselors and a well developed membership support program including everything needed to assist clients (personalized grocery lists and meal planning support, an online fitness program-online exercise video program, over 250 recipes and 200 convenience meal information, a credentialed counseling support staff and even a counseling referral inventory and peer support program to cover emotional support issues inhibiting success.

Clients are kept on track via the Right-on-Track support program which includes a weekly focus which provides relevant guidance based upon whatever point the client is at in the Right-on-Track program. This helps Personal Dietitian members to stay focused and breaks down the skills needed for successful dietary and lifestyle changes into manageable goals.

Personal Dietitian leads online diet companies!

Personal Dietitian is one of the leading diet, weight loss and nutrition companies on the Internet. There are many online diets and diet programs who make claims regarding their custom diets but few deliver. Our ability to develop on a large scale program that provides custom diets that are personally designed to our member's specific needs gives them the personal expert attention they require at prices they can afford and truly out mode the diets offered by our competition.

The Perfect Combination:
An unmatched personal approach and technology that delivers!

Professional, personal recommendations, regarding current diet practices are completely ignored by the automated online diet programs offered by leading competitors in the online diet community (eDiet and Weight Watchers), to their detriment.

Diet competitors lag behind Personal Dietitian in this very critical area, offering their users not much more than an automated diet (one-size fits all) and automated support with little or no real human assistance - leaving most, if not all of their support to technicians. 

After a client purchases a diet they begin our program by submitting to us their current diet habits. "This is just one area that distinguishes us from our competition...",  says Carolyn Classick- Kohn,MS,RD, chief dietitian. 

"Computers can do a lot these days but they can't completely consider personal needs. This type of judgment must be left to experts (meaning dietitians and doctors specializing in nutrition). Any diet program that provides meal plans or other simple output via a database cannot be considered a "personal" plan unless it's supported by ongoing access to true nutrition experts, and the ability to modify the program to the person's needs as they progress. Without this, you've lost the human touch and expert guidance that so many people need to be put their diet into practice. "When a dietitian evaluates a person's diet strengths and weakness, makes recommendations and gives a diet, they are  based upon sound judgment and careful review. When Personal Dietitian provides a diet plan, we know we've given our clients a real chance for success along with the opportunity to access our team of experts as they put their diet into practice - our online competition just doesn't match up in the area of personalization.  

Another problem with many online diet programs is an over reliance on structured meal plans and very little flexibility for applying them in a real life situation. Meal plans are very beneficial but don't help a person learn to make their own good choices and it can become a crutch. We use meal plans too but it's only a small part of what we do.

In addition to providing a customized diet,a meal plan and an exchange diet plan, our diets go even further.  By utilizing an interactive expert diet support programming ("called Right-on-Track") dieters are given the access they need to expert diet counselors who provides ongoing support as needed. Because of this, PersonalDietsoffers member clients a realistic user friendly weight loss program. Registered Dietitians and both our staff and licensed counselors are available to offer expert diet, motivation and personal support for its members 24/7, 365 days a year. 

Carolyn Classick-Kohn, MS, RD founded PersonalDiets; her experience as a consulting dietitian in both a commercial, and medical clinic setting gives her the unique professional knowledge and experience to understand what individuals need to be successful in weight control.

Her experience counseling patients with obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol in a university clinic and research setting along with her commercial weight loss consulting experience gave her the necessary background to develop the diet, diet programs and meal plans.
