Diet Doctor Reviews

by The Original JP

If you want to use DietDoctor to have your shopping list on your phone, just realize that you can’t customize your meal plan. If you customize your meal plan and send the ingredients to the shopping list, it just sends the ingredients for the original plan. I ended up with not enough of some ingredients for meals I wanted to do twice and then I bought ingredients for meals that I had not intended to make. Also, the shopping list kept jumping and rearranging itself, so I ended up not getting a few items that I needed because stuff at the bottom of the list had jumped to the top. Basically, this is only good for looking at the recipes.

I give DietDoctor 3 stars because I loved it, until the latest update. I am no longer able to access DietDoctor . When I try to open DietDoctor now, it tells me to update, even though the latest update is already installed. I now have to go through the Diet Doctor website, which is ok, just a bit different to navigate.

If you eat meat, DietDoctor is great. If you are vegetarian, they do not add recipes as frequently as they do the meat options. I have been using DietDoctor for a few months now, and there is very little variety to what the meal plans offer. If I look at meal plans that have meat, you can go months without eating the same thing. Also, in a recent update they even removed the vegetarian filter from the search system.

After trying this for 30 days free, I was convinced DietDoctor is worth every penny. Even if not on keto, I still recommend it. I’ve served recipes to family and friends and with rare exception they found them to be delicious. The convenience of being able to plan meals and add ingredients to your shopping list is alone worth it. The only reason it lacks the fifth star is because of a few technical issues. When meal prepping you have to set a specific number of people. It doesn’t give the option of cooking for two people on one day, three people on another and four people on still another day of the week. I contacted the technical support group and they said they hope to implement this in the future. Additionally, the latest update is no longer allowing the recipes to be sent to my Recipe Keeper app. Minor issues, but it could use a bit of polish on the technical side.

I love being able to create a meal plan and shopping list. However, the tiny font is killing me. On the ingredient list, the items that are shown as fractions (1/4 cup, 1/8 tsp, etc.) are unreadable on my phone, even using my bifocals. I have to open the web page to read the amounts. Please take pity on older eyes and make them larger, or write out as 1/4 instead of using the symbol for the same measure which is so tiny.

I am new to the Keto diet, though I did Atkins 16 years ago, and have been doing low-carb since then. After menopause weight has slowly been adding on. After the year of the pandemic I ballooned. With the delicious, easy to prepare meals, helpful Keto explanation videos and a few new to me ingredients (whey Isolate?) I have lost 10 lbs in a month. I honestly didn’t think that could be done!
I agree with the person who asked to be able to see reviews to the recipes. I also wish there was a ‘chat live’ feature. Maybe in Sweden there is only one option for the ingredient ‘red pepper’ but in California there are dozens. Is it supposed to be a spicy Guajillo, or mild red bell?

I really like DietDoctor and it’s helped me cook in new ways I’d never thought possible on a keto diet. I’ve only just started my keto journey but I’m already seeing results with the help of DietDoctor! I have two complaints though. First, I wish there was a separate tab for your favorite recipes. You can tap on the heart to save it for meal planning but it is not in any particular order and sometimes I cannot make food ahead of time so I make it on the fly. Secondly, I could never use the meal plan portion of DietDoctor because as soon as I’m done with setting up the plan for the week, DietDoctor crashes. I can use DietDoctor as is now, but those two problems need to be fixed before I give it a perfect score!

I love DietDoctor and the variety of foods it offers. The directions are clear and the photos are great.
I only wish that the reviews were available to read for each recipe ( not just the star rating) because they would be helpful before cooking to see if I can modify to suggestions for each recipe. Other people’s experience with a recipe is so helpful.
If there is a way to see that and not just the star rating, I would give DietDoctor a 5 star.

I have been doing keto since last May and DietDoctor made it so easy. The recipes are delicious and inspiring. I’m never bored because of the huge array of ideas. I also love the meal planning option. I highly recommend DietDoctor!!!

Makes me want to eat better. Pictures are beautiful and I think for the most part recipes are very easy. I’m almost at the point that I have everything to make a recipe. This is the first place I look for ideas!

I love DietDoctor, when it’s working for me. I signed up for the membership but now it’s not allowing me to sign in. Tells me “An error occurred”. Thought i might have entered wrong password, so I changed it. Still won’t allow me in

by Mary-NJ

I love DietDoctor and the recipes, I’m a monthly subscriber and I think is all well worth it. I wish I can download DietDoctor to my iPad to make cooking in the kitchen easier than bringing my computer to the kitchen. I hope in the future you can incorporate a keto calculator to calculate the macros. Thanks for such a great product.

I have change my outlook on heathy eating with DietDoctor I have not come across a recipe that and family haven’t liked . I have lost 20 lb by change my outlook and bad habits. It’s still a work in progress but I’m glad I have a place to go for great heathy recipes.

I am really enjoying DietDoctor. But one issue is I am unable to view my favorites list. Another issue is when I add things to my shopping list, everything is added as a separate item. If I have one weeks worth of items in my cart, and let’s just say eggs are in every meal, it will put eggs 21 times. Rather than just having one slot for how many eggs you need. Please fix!

Love Diet Doctor. The recipes are all simply delicious with real ingredients. Combined with coffee in the morning with MCG oil and intermittent fasting, I am well on my way to losing that stubborn 10 lbs. The foods make it so easy to skip meals for me, and I look forward to dinner time with real butter, cream, and cheese. I have always hated “low-fat” type diets. When I eat a meal, I want it flavorful and satisfying, and that’s what I get from Diet Doctor.

I became a member immediately as the benefits are worth it for me. I’m over more structured “programs” and healthy and mindful eating has worked wonders on how I look and feel. DietDoctor brings what I loved about the Kitchen Bowl community with my preferences for low carb and Keto. I love knowing more is coming in recipes and food combinations. Like a shopping app, I don’t view this as a healthy “recipe” directory but more of a personalized ongoing inspiration and support.

I am looking forward to talking the 2019 challenge, but DietDoctor is not yet updated with the new meal plans.
Currently if you want the 2019 challenge plans in DietDoctor , 2 weeks of meal plans have to be created manually. A real drag!
Sync between app and the website would be great added functionality, so that any changes will be updated to both my account & DietDoctor .

by BigFanAZ

This is a great app. I use it daily. I use both my iPad and iPhone. I usually decide on meals to prepare and create a grocery list on my iPad then take my phone to the store with my list on it. Since the last update the list prepared on my iPad no longer matches the list on my phone. They used to synchronize with each other.

DietDoctor is very well thought out! It makes meal planning and grocery shopping so easy. I love that you can change serving sizes per meal before you create your shopping list! Some days I have more kids eating with me than other days. Also, it lets you swap recipes for quicker ones on nights when dinner needs to go fast (like when you need to get your children to their practices). Love everything about DietDoctor!

As with everything from this app, DietDoctor is beautiful in design, easy to use, and has solid information. I have made many of these recipes from the website and they are tasty and healthy. Highly recommend DietDoctor and the Diet Doctor website, videos, health information and podcast. The premium membership is well worth it, it will add menu planning to DietDoctor and access on the website to hundreds of top-quality videos. One month free trial available. Only request so far is that it will be optimized for the iPad. A larger format would make cooking in the kitchen easier.
If you are eating low carb or ketogenic diets, this is the best recipe app I have seen so far.

by Transformational Beliefs

Many of the recipes look delicious and I understand a subscription is required for Meal Plans and shopping list. However when I try to view a recipe, the instructions aren’t visible. The photo and ingredients are there, but no instructions. For example keto deviled eggs and buttery harissa shrimp there are no instructions but Keto chicken nuggets with green beans ha instructions. DietDoctor states recipes are free. Please clarify.

by Hagsgaga

You have great meal plans but why am I not able to create meal plans on DietDoctor ? Whenever I go to the meal plans tab on the top right, it goes completely blank. Please fix this, especially since I am paying for DietDoctor .

by Fldstff737

I love DietDoctor however it only allows use of its recipes in the vertical mode. This makes it very difficult to use on my iPad as I am cooking. Can this me fixed to view in horizontal mode.

by Xmsnt

Nicely done, and I appreciate the shopping list feature. I wish there were more recipes, for example, there wasn’t a single soup recipe. Still trying to learn how to navigate it though so it may get more clear in time.

by RevMother

Is there a way to search for favorites? I mark the heart icon but can’t find those later without looking through everything. Otherwise, I love it!

by Bluebikegal

Are you looking at adding in an interface to shopping services e.g. Instacart here in the US? Apps like emeals have a good example and it is incredibly useful!!!

by MFP_BFF

Very excited to have this information in a mobile app! The meal plans and shopping lists will now be with me even when I leave my written list in the car or on the counter top.

by Beverly Crawford

Great UI. I like all the filters to help me find the right recipe. I wish you made a tracker that allowed me to put in other recipes and things I ate.

by Glamgirl523

DietDoctor is wonderful. But, the orientation is for iPhone, which means the images are oriented awkwardly for iPad and small. Will there be an iPad version? Keep up the excellent work!
