When you are using Lifesum for the first time you will start on the "Lifesum Standard" Diet. This gives you the most open and balanced version of Lifesum. 
 
But the Premium membership offers far more Diet and Meal Plan options to reach your goal.

There's a Diet and/or Meal Plan for every need!
 
In order to change from the "standard" setting (every new user starts on the Lifesum Standard Diet) to any other Diet or Meal Plan, please proceed as follows:
 
On the tab bar at the bottom of the app, you see an icon showing a notepad with a tick called "DIETS". Clicking on it you will show you all available Diet Plan and Meal Plan options for your goal (lose weight, maintain weight, gain weight) and you should either be able to change from one Diet Plan or Meal Plan to another or edit settings in a Diet Plan or Meal Plan that you're already using by clicking on the Diet Plan or Meal Plan in question.
 
Please note: There are different Diets and Meal Plans offered per goal.
 
In order to help our users make informed decisions and feel healthier every single day, Lifesum is now offering a varied collection of Diets / Meal Plans. Each Diet / Meal Plan helps you achieve your specific healthy lifestyle goal beyond counting calories. All Diets / Meal Plans come with feedback to celebrate your wins and help you get back on the right track when you make mistakes, along with recipes to inspire healthier cooking.
