Meal Planning Frequently Asked Questions:
Why is meal planning worth it?
-people often don't prioritize their personal health and make investments in themselves. If you often feel tired throughout the day, have diabetes, food allergies, want to improve sports performance or simply want to lose weight... Put a price on what it would be worth to achieve those goals and have more energy every day. Add up the amount you spend on energy drinks and coffee in a month, just to have more energy… $50-100 a month? Do those drink also help you feel better as a whole and help you lose body fat? Probably not, so put some thought into actually investing in your health and wellness.
Has anyone ever not got results they desire from this program?
-We’ve been providing our meal planning services since 2004 and have never had one client who didn’t get the results we claim to offer. There have been a couple times were the meal plan needs to be tweaked a little bit, but that is rare and in nearly every case people see immediate results.
What results can I expect by changing my eating habits?
Great question! The first two weeks you will lose from 4 up to 10 pounds. Every consecutive week you will lose 1.5 to 2 pounds of body fat. 2 pounds per week is the maximum for healthy weight loss, and it’s all the right changes not just water weight and loss of lean mass (bone and muscle) as with many other ‘diets’. The reason you have much better results than a ‘diet’ is that this is not a diet; it’s a lifestyle change whereas you simply eat healthier with more variety and consistency.
Do I have to give up my 'vise foods' in order to make the changes I’m looking for?
In most cases, NO. You are able to include the vises into your daily plan with moderation. Where people usually go wrong is overindulgence. You can and will lose weight if you follow our plan. Often times we include things like lattes, wine, beer, and deserts on a daily bases without sabotaging your success.
What do I do after the initial programming?
-the initial plan is intended to carry you for four weeks to help build consistency and healthy habits. Beyond the initial plan you are entitled to a free one month follow up assessment to see what you've accomplished. If your goal changes you can have a new plan designed for 50% off regular prices. There is also the option to purchase for around $30 the client version of the software we use, which will give you to ability to make adjustments on the fly from your own computer and get instant modification results.
What if I have special dietary needs?
-all of your needs are factored in when your meal plan is created. If you have food allergies or preferences they will be accommodated.
How do we find out exactly what I need as an individual or is everyone lumped together?
-everyone has an intake assessment done. The assessment along with the intake questionnaire we'll figure out your basal metabolic rate, body type, body composition, and then use it along with height, weight, gender, work activity level, types and qty of exercise if any.
What if I eat healthy but can’t seem to lose the weight I want? Why would this program give me different results than what I’ve been doing?
-Something that commonly happens is that people try their best to eat and live a healthy lifestyle, but don't get the results they see fitting of their efforts. The problem is usually not that you’re doing the wrong things, but simply not doing them in the right quantity or balances which will make a huge difference in the results you’ll see. Often time’s people just don't consume enough calories of the right foods. Quest’s meal plans are balanced and designed for YOUR individual needs, lifestyle, goals and body type. The difference is amazing!
