Hi PHers!
I’m excited to share the launch of PlateJoy Health, an all-digital program that helps you lose weight for the long-term—and even reduce your risk of diseases like Type 2 diabetes.
Lifestyle change has been proven to help people lose weight better than medication (and reduce your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by nearly 60%). But it’s hard to make those changes alone. PlateJoy Health makes it simple. Here’s how:
We design customized meal plans with recipes that fit your preferences, create shopping lists that reduce your food waste for the week, and offer optional delivery via Instacart in 4,000 locations across the country. You can customize your diet to Ketogenic, Paleo, Vegan, and many more.
We give you exclusive video interviews each week with top experts in nutrition, fitness, and health, including NYTimes best-selling authors, Olympians, and metabolic researchers.
You can track your activity and weight with your Fitbit, Jawbone UP, and wireless scale, syncing them with your account.
You get on-demand virtual health coaching, to help keep you accountable and personalize your plan to your goals.
Would love to answer any questions + thanks for checking it out!

PS - The program is so effective, several insurance providers cover the cost 100% if you’re at risk for Type 2 diabetes. Take the 1 min quiz on the Prevent Diabetes tab to find out - 90% of people who are at risk are unaware. Bonus: if you do qualify, you’ll get a wireless scale and Fitbit for free.
This app has literally saved my boyfriend and I so much time and money. We sit down for 15 mins a week to make a new menu, grocery shop (>70% in the produce section) for 45 mins (the bill is usually around $100, but varies from $80-130 depending on the 'extra' stuff we get), then have a whole weeks worth of meals planned out! It's made our lives so much easier and I love that I can lower my portion sizes to match my weight loss goals
Pros:
Able to specifically personalize & has a huge variety of meals, calorie settings
Cons:
No macro preferences, doesn't automatically substitute items (just seems to exclude the recipes)
I tried other meal/menu/food online tools, they all fell short. I tried menu planning on my own, incorporating new meals I spent hours looking for on Pinterest, and balancing my lack of creativity and skill with our health goals and all the things my husband and I hate to eat. (We're picky). I FAILED miserably and we were constantly over-purchasing ingredients and throwing those same ingredients in the rubbish bin. Then I found PlateJoy! It saves me hours of planning, has taught me new recipes and cooking techniques, took the stress out of building my grocery list, introduced me to new flavor profiles, eliminated most of the food waste in our home, and helped me lose sixteen pounds (so far). We get to try new recipes whenever we want without having to go digging for an idea somewhere and PlateJoy makes certain we're not wasting money on purchasing more ingredients than we will need. We've even been able to balance the fact that my husband is trying to gain weight while I am losing weight. It may sound like a bit of an overstatement, but PlateJoy has become a necessary part of my day ... multiple times a day. It saves time, money, stress, and helps with our health goals. I love it!!!
Pros:
Fresh Ideas, Highly Personalized, Saves Money, Weight Loss Options, Integrated Tech, Responsive & Engaged Employees, Easy to Use
Cons:
Only one suggestion for improvement: Could give suggestions/guidelines in ingredients, cook temp, and times for cooking at high altitude
