Introduction

Creating nutrition plans is hard. And creating great nutrition plans — the type that your clients

will love to follow — can feel impossible.

When wellness professionals skillfully create the perfect plan, we feel like nutrition ninjas. But

sometimes, it can feel like we’re throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping it sticks.

The best wellness professionals are wildly obsessive, in the best kind of way. They’re part

therapist, writer, inventor and scientist. They know that they have to collect the right data,

approach the case with a holistic outlook, and be able to adapt to keep up with all of the

moving parts.

It’s not easy. There have been thousands, if not millions, of failed attempts to create nutrition

plans that clients will actually follow. So the fact that there are “done-for-you programs”

everywhere is no surprise. But one size does not fit all when it comes to nutrition. Powerful

plans take time and they require a process.

Over the years, That Clean Life has become known and highly trusted for dishing out incredible

nutrition plans, recipes, tools, software and business advice. I imagine you are here because at

some point in the past, you’ve found our work useful and helpful. If so, this book will solidify

that trust and so much more. It packages up an easy, practical framework that you can use to

build awesome nutrition plans for your clients or community that will help them achieve results

while also growing your wellness business.

We hope you will take this framework and start applying it to your practice immediately so that

you can consistently create nutrition plans that turn your clients into raving fans, your business

into a booming success and our world into a healthier and happier place.

Why Nutrition Plans Matter

Whether you are working with clients one-on-one or running group programs, the quality of

your nutrition plans will have a major influence on the happiness and satisfaction of your clients

and therefore the long-term success of your business. The information you provide is just as

important as how you provide it, and a beautifully laid out plan can make all the difference in

how professional you look to the individuals you are working with and whether or not they will

flourish under your care.

To help you get to a place where you are consistently creating professional and effective

nutrition plans, we’re sharing an extremely simple 4-step framework that you can follow. This

framework has been tried, tested and proven. It will show you how to create a nutrition plan

that takes into consideration assessment data, goal setting, follow-up and so much more.

Before we dive into each step of this framework, let’s take a high-level overview:

Step 1 Assessment

Step 2 Goal Setting & Recommendations

Step 3 Nutrition Plan & Supporting Resources

Step 4 Follow-Up, Next Steps & Client Retention

The following pages will break down this framework in more detail and will give you an

example of a nutrition plan that uses this exact process, so you can see what it looks like in

action.

By the end of this book, you’ll be armed with a powerful process to create beautiful, practical

nutrition plans, which means more successful clients and a thriving practice.

Ready to dive in? Let’s do it!

Step 1

Assessment The very first step to building amazing nutrition plans is to get to know your client. And the

best way to get to know your client is by conducting a thorough assessment.

This step will vary, whether you are a nutritionist, dietitian, naturopathic doctor, health coach, or

other wellness professional. It’s important to know the type of information you need to collect

from your clients, and how to collect it as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Intake forms are the very first way that your clients will communicate with you, so you’ll want to

make sure they are professional and make a good first impression. You can send your client

intake forms via email through a fillable PDF, or use a client management software system that

has your clients fill out their intake forms online.

Great intake forms should be condensed, yet concise. Don’t give your client an overwhelming

questionnaire that will take them two hours to complete, as it will be an instant turn off.

Instead, focus on collecting only the most important information you need.

Keep your intake forms simple with the following question styles:

Client contact information e.g. address, phone number, etc.

Client personal information e.g. birthday, gender identity, etc.

Goals and expectations for working with you

Health history e.g. illnesses, pregnancies, etc.

Diet history e.g. previous diets attempted, eating disorder history, etc.

Current health status e.g. weight, medications, etc.

Current diet information e.g. typical breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks, etc.

Dietary restrictions e.g. preferences, ethics, allergies, etc.

If you specialize in a certain area, you may also want to include questions related to that area of

specialty. For example, if you work with women on balancing hormones through diet, include a

section about their menstrual cycle.

Don't waste your client’s time by having them answer questions that aren't relevant to why they

booked an appointment or signed up for your program. Remember that intake forms are

meant to help you get a brief overview of your client. At your actual intake appointment, you

can go through their answers and ask them to elaborate so you can collect more data and build

rapport.

In order to create an effective nutrition plan, you will also want to conduct a Meal Planning

Assessment. This will offer in-depth knowledge of your client’s current food habits, relationship

with food, and comfort level in the kitchen. This information will ensure that you provide them

with the best meal plans and recipes for their personal preferences and unique lifestyle.

A meal planning assessment can be a form, or it can be a series of questions that you ask

during your initial consultation. Here are some questions that you may want to include in the

meal planning portion of your assessment:

How much time do you typically spend cooking per day?

What are your favourite foods?

Are there any foods you won't eat for personal, ethical, or religious reasons?

Do you think you eat enough fruits and vegetables?

How often do you eat out?

What time of day do you find it most difficult to eat healthily?

How much time do you really want to spend in the kitchen?

Do you mind eating similar meals over-and-over?

Describe to me what you eat on a typical day?

Once you’ve collected the most important data and had your initial consultation, you’ll be

ready to move onto goal setting and recommendations.

Step 2

Goal Setting & Recommendations

Goal Setting

Once you have a solid understanding of your client as a whole, it’s important to get clear on

their goals so that you can start making recommendations on how they can reach them.

Ask your client what their goals are in order of importance, and get clear on their top priorities.

Have them state their goals in their own words, and then communicate the goals back to them,

so that you close the feedback loop and ensure that you are both on the same page.

Pro Tip

It can be helpful to revisit your client’s goals and priorities at the beginning of every

session since feelings and priorities can evolve over time. Always begin your session by

asking, “What is it that you’re most hoping to get out of today’s consultation?” This will

ensure you are addressing and delivering on what your client really needs.

Start your nutrition plan by clearly outlining your client’s goals. Remember that great goals are

SMART : specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound.

For example, let’s say Cynthia comes to you for a consult, and one of her major complaints is

chronic bloating and constipation. She tells you that she always feels “bunged up and

sluggish”, and reports having a bowel movement only once per week. Cynthia has been on

multiple rounds of antibiotics and based on your assessment, it sounds like she is chronically

dehydrated.

A great starting goal for Cynthia might look like this:

Over the next two weeks, our goal is to improve your gut health so that bowel movement

frequency increases from once per week to at least five times per week. We’ll achieve this by

upping your fibre intake, boosting your water consumption and improving gut flora.

This is a great goal because it is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely. It clearly

addresses Cynthia’s concern of bloating, constipation and feeling tired, and it outlines how she

is going to reach this goal.

Recommendations

Once you’ve outlined the goal(s), it is time to develop recommendations that will help your

client achieve these goals.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a wellness professional is to overwhelm your

clients with changes. You’ll probably see many ways that you can help your client attain better

health, but it is in the best interest of both your client and your business to keep things as

simple as possible, especially in the beginning.

Make just a few recommendations per appointment, so that your client has time to implement

your suggestions at a sustainable pace without feeling completely overwhelmed. Have them

book a follow-up appointment in one to two weeks time, so that you can assess their progress

and continue to build from there.

We suggest providing three types of recommendations per appointment: one recommendation

that will help them see an immediate difference, a habit-based recommendation, and

long-term health recommendation.

Let’s go over each of these recommendations in some more detail.

A recommendation that will help them see an immediate difference

The sooner your clients feel better, the more satisfied they will be and the more trust they will

have in you. We know that most changes take time, but it is also important for you to

incorporate “quick wins” to keep your client engaged. This could be something as simple as

recommending that they add chlorophyll to their water to encourage better hydration, or

incorporating ground flaxseed once per day to help resolve constipation.

A habit-based recommendation

Habit-related changes are your client’s homework to focus on until the next time you see each

other. Habits are the most important factor for long-term health, so encourage your client to

consistently work on implementing one habit until your next visit. This could be a smoothie for

breakfast or a weekend meal-prep routine.

A recommendation for long-term health

The last type of recommendation is something that will take longer to see results but is still very

important for long-term health. This could be a supplement, including more of a certain

nutrient, or a lifestyle practice like meditation. Once your client starts seeing results, they’re

much more likely to stick to this recommendation.

When it comes to making your initial recommendations, don’t be afraid to start simple. Resist

the urge to pack in as much information as possible to impress your clients and prove your

value. Sometimes the most valuable recommendations, like drinking more water and increasing

fibre intake, make the biggest difference. Start with these basic recommendations, show them

how to make it happen and then build from there. And always, always, always be sure your

recommendations relate back to your client’s goals.

Pro Tip

In the beginning, you may want to keep supplement recommendations to a minimum.

Supplements are often a distraction and may be viewed as an excuse to continue with

poor dietary habits. Some clients also get overwhelmed with the expense of

supplements, and they may feel you are trying to sell them on too many products rather

than using your knowledge to coach them. Consider approaching the topic of

supplements in later appointments, once good dietary habits have been formed.

Once you’ve developed your three initial recommendations, also outline their purpose so that

your client understands why they are doing it, and how it will help them achieve their goals.

Let’s revisit Cynthia’s case. We’ve already outlined our one initial goal, which is:

Over the next two weeks, our goal is to improve your gut health so that bowel movement

frequency increases from once per week to at least five times per week. We will achieve this by

upping your fibre intake, boosting your water consumption and improving gut flora.

Your three recommendations for Cynthia might look like this:

1. Include two tablespoons of ground flaxseed per day into your diet. You can add this to

smoothies, sprinkle over salads or stir into soups. This will increase your daily fibre intake,

which will help promote more regular bowel movements.

2. Consume 3.5 litres of water per day. Do this by setting a timer on your phone to remind

you to drink 500 milliliters every two hours. Dehydration can worsen constipation, so proper

hydration will be key in getting things moving!

3. Start taking a daily probiotic in the morning with breakfast. This will help replenish your

healthy gut bacteria and therefore start improving the health of your gut. Having healthy

gut bacteria will also promote more frequent bowel movements, which are essential for

detoxification.

These are great recommendations because the first will hopefully help Cynthia feel immediate

relief from her constipation symptoms, the second will help her form proper hydration habits

and the third will help her to develop a healthier microbiome over time. The goal and

recommendations are directly related to Cynthia’s main complaints and clearly describe the

purpose of the suggested actions.

With these goals and recommendations in place, we can start to improve Cynthia’s health in no

time! She has clear goals and she knows exactly how she is going to achieve them.

Step 3

Nutrition Plan & Supporting Resources Now that you have outlined your client’s goals and developed recommendations, it is time to

effectively communicate them through a document. You can update this document from

week-to-week so that your client always has a plan to reference in between appointments.

To keep things simple, organized and easy-to-follow, we recommend organizing your

recommendations into four categories:

Nutrition

Lifestyle

Supplements (when appropriate)

Next Steps

Once you’ve started your nutrition plan by outlining your goals and recommendations, it’s time

to give your client the tools they need to implement them. Your clients are much more likely to

follow your advice if they have great resources to help them succeed. Along with your

recommendations, you may want to include the following resources as a part of their full

nutrition plan:

Meal Plans

Recipes

Grocery Lists

Prep Guides

We highly recommend formatting the nutrition plan along with the supporting resources into a

document that you can send your client, so they can use it as a guide. This document should

include an outline of their goals, your recommendations, next steps and any other resources

you think will help guide them to success.

Go ahead and flip to the back of this book , you will find an example of a great, professional

nutrition plan that clearly communicates client goals, recommendations and next steps along

with a meal plan, grocery list and recipes.

This plan was developed in just 20 minutes using That Clean Life for Business , which

automatically creates the grocery list and applies your business information and custom

branding to the document.

Step 4

Follow-Up, Next Steps & Client Retention Alright — so now you have done your assessment, outlined goals, made recommendations and

rolled it all out into an awesome nutrition plan with a meal plan, grocery list and recipes.

Congratulations!

But here’s the thing: the only way your client is going to be successful is if they actually follow

the plan.

In order to keep your client on track, be sure to book your follow-up appointment before they

leave their current appointment. Keep the time in between appointments to a minimum so that

you can closely monitor their progress, cheer them on, or help them to course-correct if things

get off track.

Many practitioners worry that the cost of frequent follow-ups will be off-putting to clients, and

try to offer more value by packing weeks of information into a single visit. This usually doesn’t

work because it’s too overwhelming. Your clients have likely already tried to accomplish their

goals on their own unsuccessfully. They came to you for accountability and connection, so

make sure you give them that support.

Communicate the value of each session by letting them know what will be reviewed and added

at the next appointment. This will keep them engaged, and coming back for more. Let the

client know that your goal is to “graduate” them out of the program so that they know that

there is an end date in sight. If you are communicating well, and if your client is getting results,

they won’t complain about frequent contact. In fact, they will love it.

Stay as closely connected as possible between appointments. You can check-in via email, text,

or online chat. Depending on what your practice looks like, you might also want to create a

private Facebook group for your clients. If you work within a niche, a Facebook group is great

because you’ll have clients with similar stories and connect them through an exclusive

community, which provides added value.

A day or two before your client’s follow-up appointment, send them a few questions so you

have an idea of what you’ll need to discuss with them. Here are some questions you might

want to ask:

How are you feeling?

Which recipes have you tried?

What have you loved? Anything you didn’t love?

Did anything get in the way of you making the changes we discussed?

Is there anything else you want me to know about before we sit down next?

When you clearly communicate next steps, continuously deliver value and follow-up in a

meaningful way, you will find that client drop-off reduces significantly. When clients are

achieving their goals with your help, they’ll look forward to returning. You will also be top of

mind when a friend needs a recommendation for a health and nutrition professional. A

successful, raving client is the most powerful sales and marketing tool you will ever have!

Final Words

So there you have it. Our 4-step framework for creating awesome nutrition plans for your

clients. Let’s recap, shall we?

Step 1 Assessment

Step 2 Goal Setting & Recommendations

Step 3 Nutrition Plan & Supporting Resources

Step 4 Follow-Up, Next Steps & Client Retention

Yes, creating nutrition plans can be hard. But using this framework along with That Clean Life

for Business will help you create plans that your clients will absolutely love to follow.

Remember: your new clients are far more important than any would-be client. They’re the

people who have believed your promises, taken a risk on your services and given you their

hard-earned money, trusting that you can help them feel better and live a healthier life. Now is

not the time to give them some half-assed nutrition plan, like a poorly formatted document, or

worse, nothing at all. Everything you craft should be created with the utmost care and with the

intention of educating, helping, transforming and retaining.

It might seem like the wellness industry is completely saturated, but when you take the time to

go the extra mile, it’s never crowded.

Now it is time for you to take this framework and start applying it to your practice! If you have

Cynthia's Nutrition Plan, Week 1Abigail's Wellness

Hi Cynthia,

Great session today! Here is a recap, along with everything you need to start on the recommendations we discussed.

Over the next two weeks, our goal is to work on improving your gut health so that bowel movement frequency increases from once

per week, to at least five times per week. I'm confident that this will make a dramatic difference in the way you feel!

We'll start by upping your fibre intake, increasing your water consumption and improving gut flora. In addition, we'll add in some

lifestyle and supplement habits, as outlined below.

Nutrition Recommendations:

Include two tablespoons of ground flaxseed per day into your diet. You can add this to smoothies, sprinkle over salads or stir

into soups. This will increase your daily fibre intake, which will help promote more regular bowel movements.

Consume 3.5 litres of water per day. Do this by setting a timer on your phone to remind yourself to drink 500 milliliters every

two hours. Dehydration can worsen constipation, so proper hydration will be key in getting and keeping things moving!

Lifestyle Recommendations:

This week, I'd love for you to focus on walking more! Just 20 minutes of walking per day can improve digestion, reduce

bloating, and help stimulate peristalsis, which promotes bowel movements. Use your FitBit to track steps, and make a game

out of it!

Supplement Suggestions:

Probiotic, 1 capsule/day, 50 billion CFU

Start taking a probiotic daily, preferably in the morning with breakfast. This will help replenish your healthy gut bacteria. Having

healthy gut bacteria will promote more frequent bowel movements, which are essential for detoxification

Next Steps:

We have you scheduled in for your next appointment on Thursday June 21 at 10AM.

I've included a meal plan with recipes and a grocery list on the following pages. Try following the plan until our next

appointment.

Keep a daily food journal with notes about how you are feeling, including any bloating and bowel movements. Also use it to

keep track of your daily steps and water intake.

We'll review your journal at our next appointment, and use it to identify any potential food sensitivities.

If you have any questions, you can always reach out to me via email, [email protected]. I look forward to seeing you

soon, and can't wait to hear how you are doing with our plan!
