Description

In this episode, Stephanie discusses the controversial topic of whether meal plans can help or hinder client results. Most dietitians dislike them. However, clients ask them for them. Stephanie will take you through the evidence behind meal plans, their utility and whether they can effectively be part of the way you provide nutrition counselling to your clients for better client engagement, retention and results.

If you'd like a copy of the sample meal plan template Stephanie discusses in this podcast, send her a DM on Instagram @dietitiancounsellingskills or an email at info@stephanienotaras.com.
