Meal plans are a traditional method of prescribing food to help you achieve a health goal. They provide a set meal structure, of varying detail, which a person is supposed to follow in order to achieve goals, but do they work?
⚖️As with everything, there are pro’s and con’s which need to be considered.
The pro’s:
✅It takes the thinking away - all you need to do is follow the plan & you achieve the required aim;
✅It requires minimal effort - just read & do;
✅It can provide initial results which boost motivation.
The con’s:
❎They can be restrictive, take away spontaneity & not be specific to you;
❎There is little evidence to prove that they work long term;
❎If not used correctly, they are essentially “another diet”� ... we know that diets don’t work.
🔧Meal plans are a tool, and as with every tool, how you use it matters. If you just follow the plan mindlessly, then you don’t learn. This can lead to initial results being lost and the so called "yoyo effect". If you are using meal plans, they should be used as part of a journey & a package that includes education and behaviour change for lasting results. They should be personalised to you, your routine, your dietary requirements & be holistic i.e. Take into account all parts of your life. If you wanted to take it a step further, it is worth creating your own meal plans - this encourages you to think about your food at a greater level, encouraged the use of different skills & helps to implement behaviour change that is more likely to last.
📝A lot of modern Dietitians will not use meal plans for weight loss as a main tool, but they may be used to start a journey & as part of a package of care. They are not a stand alone thing, unless you just want quick results that don’t last. If someone hands you meal plan and says “just follow this” then alarms bells should start ringing!
