History

Established in 2010.

Designer Diets approach is not to «put you on a diet,» but rather help you achieve a nutritious, healthy lifestyle that you can manage and feel good about while achieving your goals. «Going on a diet» implies that there is an end date and that you will likely be «on it» or «off it.» Many people associate the term diet as a temporary prescription for weight loss, while nutritionists commonly use the term diet to refer to all the food you eat and your usual food choices. The word diet comes from the Greek and Latin word diaita, meaning «way of living» or to «direct one’s own life.» Weather you choose to use the word «diet» as a noun, adjective, or a verb– let’s make it simple and get back our roots. By choosing to work with designer-​diets, you can help design the life you want.
