Weekly Diabetes Meal Planning Service

When you have type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, meal planning can be a challenge, right?

When you’re looking around online at all the delicious food pictures and recipes, you can find that many of them have too many carbs (some up to 60 grams per serve – wowza!!).

Or, you might find that many recipes don’t provide nutrition facts at all, so you have no clue how many carbs they contain – and knowing your nutrition facts is the difference between good blood sugar control or not!

We understand, when you’re trying to manage blood sugar levels, finding meals and recipes that are truly diabetes friendly can be problematic.

And that’s where we can help.

Our weekly diabetes meal planning service helps solve all your food and eating problems for good. Plus, right now you can save 30% off membership!

You can relax and let us do all your meal planning so you can enjoy life more while regulating blood sugar and A1c at the same time.

Smart Meal Planner to Swap and Change Meals

You don’t just get weekly meal plans, you get access to our “smart meal planner” that helps you make adjustments to your meal plans and manage your carbs and calories more effectively.

Watch this short video to preview some of the things our “smart meal planner” can do.

Each week when you receive your weekly meal plan, just click one button to “Save to Meal Planner.”

This adds the plan to the smart meal planner where you can make any changes you like.

• Swap and change meals as you please – you can select meals from your recipe database or favs (see below details).
• Add breakfasts and snacks to your plans.
• The smart meal planner recalculates nutrition facts automatically as you make changes.
• Easily change the number of servings for each recipe or meal.

TESTIMONIAL: “I love all the delicious recipes that are easy to understand and prepare. I love the versatility of the members site. I’m able to add, delete and personalize my meal plan so that it fits my schedule and taste. My husband is a picky eater, but he’s enjoying the dishes too!” ~Kat.

Nutrition Facts for Every Meal Plan & Recipe

All the meal plans have nutrition facts for:

• Calories
• Total carbs
• Fiber
• Protein
• Fat

Here’s an example of one days nutrition facts. NOTE: It says ‘per serving’ but it is actually for ‘one days servings in total.’

Every single meal/ recipe contains standard nutrition facts food labels, with all the nutrition facts you need to regulate blood sugar and A1c and meet your health goals.

Here’s an example:

If you want to swap and change meals in your plan, you can easily do so. Our “smart meal planner” will recalculate your nutrition facts automatically, so you can always plan ahead and know what’s what.

4 Days of Lunches & Dinners, with Breakfast Selection

The weekly meal planning service provides you with 4 lunches and 4 dinners planned each week.

Most people find it difficult to follow an entire 7 day meal plan because they have their go-to meals. So in our experience, 4 days works very well and provides ample options to choose from.

Most weeks you also have leftovers, too.

And remember, you get new meal plans each week so you can build up a bank of favorites you can easily add to your plans another week, with just one click of a button!

Something important to note is, we don’t just gather generic recipes from around the web. We develop each and every meal in our menus.

Plus, you’ll also have access to our breakfast recipe selection (60+ recipes, which we will continue adding to), so you can add your own breakfast options to the plans if you desire.

Simply select a breakfast and click “Add to Meal Planner”- your daily nutrition facts will recalculate automatically.

Why only 4 days planned?

It’s tough to follow an entire meal plan for the whole week, and most people don’t. We’ve found that 4 days works well. With 4 days (plus leftovers most weeks), you should find it more than adequately meets your weekly dietary needs.

You can choose to follow the entire meal plan, or make just one or two meals. Either way, you’ll keep inspired and motivated!

When you save the weekly meal plan to our “smart meal planner,” you can swap and change meals and add meals from the breakfast selection to your plans. All your nutrition data and shopping list calculates automatically with any changes you make.

TESTIMONIAL: “I finally went all-in with the new meal plans, and they have been great so far. I am very pleased (and so is my wife). Thanks.” ~Doug W.

All Meals Are Gluten Free & Low Carb

Our top priority is to provide you with meal plans that help you lower blood sugar and A1c. To do that, research shows, and so does our experience, that following a lower carb diet produces the best results.

That’s why ALL our meals are low carb. You don’t have to worry about carbs because we do it for you. Just stick to our recommended food list and meal plans, and you will see better blood sugar results.

We also cater to food intolerances, especially for those who cannot eat gluten. That’s why all our meals are also gluten free. 

Cooking Classes (VIP only)

We understand it’s easy to eat out of a packet – we’ve all been accustomed to doing it on a regular basis. But the premise of gaining better control is to get back to good ‘ol fashioned home cooking. 

Of course, we don’t want you slaving away in the kitchen, so we show you just how easy it is to make delicious blood sugar friendly meals – many of them can be made in minutes!

We’ve got 200+ cooking classes available and we add new ones from time to time.

Here’s an example:

If you want to make this meal, you can find the full recipe here.

Vegetarian Options Included (VIP only)

For our VIP Members, we have 6 months of specific vegetarian meal plans available, along with vegetarian food lists and resources.

Each weekly meal plan may include some vegetarian meals and starting from last month, each meal in the meal plan now includes suggestions for making the recipe vegetarian, or an alternative vegetarian recipe.

FAQs About Our Diabetic Meal Planning Service

Do the plans use crossover ingredients?

Yes. We want to minimize your cost and reduce food waste, so each weekly plan is designed to use up ingredients where possible.

Does DMP develop and cook all the meals?

Yes. 

We do not gather meals from around the web, like many meal planning services do. We develop every single meal in our menus. We cook every meal, photograph them, and design them keeping you in mind the entire time – this meal planning service is designed specifically for people with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.

A lot of thought goes into the meal plans so they are easy to make, have crossover ingredients, and most importantly, taste good!

What types diabetes diet do the plans follow?

Here at DMP, we encourage a low carb diet because research shows it produces great results for blood sugar and A1c control. And our members are getting great results – read what they have to say.

Overall, we generally stick to this recommended food list.

You’ll see that it’s mainly real foods, whole natural foods, because that’s what makes up a healthy eating plan.

Our plans are based on lean protein sources (chicken, turkey, beef, salmon, fish, seafood, etc), non starchy vegetables and healthy fats like olive oil, nuts, seeds and avocado. Plus the inclusion of dairy products like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, and cream sometimes.

Our plans are high in dietary fiber and therefore are low glycemic index. Basically, they are healthy food plans, designed to help you live a healthier and happier life!

We try to use ingredients that are readily available. However, just note that you will need to stock your pantry with a few unusual items in the beginning. For instance, liquid stevia extract or another suitable sugar substitute. Or low carb flours such as almond flour or ground flaxseed meal.

We don’t encourage foods such as bread (even grain bread or whole gran bread varieties), because research shows they don’t help with blood sugar and A1 control. You can add these items to your own menus if you want to, and we also have low carb bread options available, for VIP Members.

We don’t encourage other starchy vegetables and foods (potatoes, sweet potatoes, pasta, rice etc), dried fruits, sugar, fresh fruits that are high in carbs like apple and banana. And we don’t encourage using processed foods full of ‘added’ sugars.

But again, we do have plenty of low carb alternative options you will discover by being a meal plans member.

What type of diet do the plans follow?

We encourage a low carb Mediterranean-type diet plan.

A diet high in plant foods such as non starchy vegetables, high dietary fiber, healthy fats, lean protein and dairy products.

Our plans align with current research and also meet the American Diabetes Association guidelines, along with other diabetes organizations worldwide.

How many servings are the plans designed for?

The serving size is for a 2-person plan. But if you add the meal plans to the “smart” meal planner, you can easily change the number of servings.

Portion sizes are generous and can often be stretched.

Will I lose weight with these plans?

Weight loss is a possibility. Many of our current members have managed to lose weight, some of them quite a lot of weight in a small time, and so could you. You can also maintain weight, or gain weight if necessary.

Do you cater for vegetarians?

Yes.

For our VIP Members, we have 6 months of specific vegetarian meal plans available, along with vegetarian food lists and resources.

Each weekly meal plan may include some vegetarian meals and starting from last month, each meal in the meal plan now includes suggestions for making the recipe vegetarian, or an alternative vegetarian recipe. 

How many grams of carbohydrates do your meal plans contain?

Since we plan only lunches and dinners, your plans could vary, dependent on what breakfasts and snacks you include.

In general we encourage a low carb diet of around 50-80 grams of total carbs per day, up to a maximum of 100 grams per day, and our meal plans reflect this intake, which is working very well to help our members get results.

If you want to eat more or less carbs, you can swap and change meals from the recipe database. You can even filter recipes in the database by total carbs and net carbs. Overall though, we encourage you to eat up to an absolute maximum of 100 grams of carbs per day.

Are your meals easy to make?

Yes, you definitely don’t need a chef’s hat to cook our meals. 😉

Our goal is to make diabetes low carb eating as easy as possible for you. We often provide 5 ingredient meals. Many of our meals are made in just 15 to 20 minutes. Others take 5 minutes prep, then bake or slow cook.

Wherever possible, we take as many shortcuts as we can to save time. And we include video cooking classes on a regular basis so you can build on your skills.

TESTIMONIAL: “3 months ago my A1C was 8.7 and my recent blood work showed it at 7.4. My endocrinologist was very impressed and thinks I will be at the target level by my next testing in 3 months. Just eating your meal plan for a month and seeing the results gives me motivation to continue. Thank you for your dedication to diabetes research and food plans.” ~Gloria G.
