Study Rationale: This experiment on the effect that the use of personalized low-fat meal
plans has on body fat reduction is important for several reasons. First, the details of this
research study may equip the public with knowledge to select quality nutrition programs for
weight loss responsibly. Second, it may encourage the wellness and fitness community to
reconsider the practice of providing clientele with non-personalized meal plans for weight
loss, which are not usually designed by accredited dietetic professionals. Third, this study
may benefit dietetic professionals by opening the lines of communication between the
wellness community and the dietetic community regarding standards of care, and protecting
the public by dispelling harmful and erroneous nutrition advice.
