Customers are asked to fill out a diet profile on the web to determine a customer’s specific goal, whether to lose weight, choose a healthier lifestyle or save time to achieve other objectives; and to know if there are any dietary restrictions, health conditions or taste preferences that customers have. Based on the information given by the customer, a meal counselor then recommends a right meal plan for them. They are then provided with a particular plan that suits their particular need or goal, the amount of calories recommended for them, the price plan and a sample menu of what they’ve signed up for.
