Elmien Jacobs MyMealplan Dietitians

Dietitian, Elmien Meyer, obtained her Baccalaureus Degree in Dietetics at the University of Pretoria.

As qualified, registered healthcare professionals, dietitians work in many different fields to assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional problems using evidence-based recommendations. Elmien will answer all your questions regarding healthy eating, weight management, sports nutrition and diet related illnesses such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cholesterol, heart disease, kidney disease

and more. The idea of the electronic consultation is to help you obtain all the information that you can obtain in a personal session with a dietician. Usually a first session entails an assessment of your weight, height, history and diagnosis. According to this, the dietician will educate you by means of specific informative handouts and will then calculate a personalised meal plan for weight management. This is exactly what is included in the package that you will receive on MyMealplan.

🤱 Why Do You Need a Lactation Consultant?

A lactation consultant doesn’t only support mothers after baby arrives — support can start before birth.

✨ Prenatal education & preparation for expecting parents
✨ Guidance in the early newborn days
✨ Help with latch difficulties, pain, milk supply concerns, and feeding challenges
✨ Ongoing support if breastfeeding difficulties arise weeks or months later

Breastfeeding is natural — but it’s also a learned skill for both mom and baby. Having the right guidance can make all the difference in building confidence, comfort, and a positive feeding journey.

You don’t have to struggle alone. Support is available at every stage. 🤍

👶 Toddlers & Preschoolers: Growing Healthy, One Bite at a Time! 🌿

Toddlers and preschoolers grow in spurts, and so do their appetites! Some days they eat a lot, some days hardly anything — and that’s completely normal. As long as you offer a variety of healthy foods, they’ll get the nutrients they need.

🦴 Calcium:
Essential for strong bones and teeth. Milk is a top source, but alternatives exist for those who are lactose-intolerant, allergic, or picky:

Lactose-free milk or soy milk

Tofu, sardines

Calcium-fortified orange juice, cereals, waffles, oatmeal
In some cases, a pediatrician may recommend supplements.

🥦 Fiber:
Encourage fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans — even if kids prefer “bland” foods like chicken nuggets or fries. Fiber:

Supports digestion

Prevents constipation

Contributes to long-term heart health

💚 Set your child up for a healthy future by building strong nutrition habits now!

🥪 5 Tips for Packing Healthy Lunch Boxes 🥗

A lunch box full of fresh, balanced food gives your child energy to learn, play, and focus all day. Here are five simple tips to make packing healthy school lunches easy and enjoyable:

1️⃣ Nutrition:
Lunch needs to fuel your child for the rest of the day. Include a balance of protein, healthy fats, whole grains, and fruit/vegetables.

2️⃣ Taste:
Healthy doesn’t have to be boring! Add in-season fruit, roasted veggies, cooked meats with herbs, or flavored yogurt/milk to make lunch irresistible.

3️⃣ Convenience:
Keep it simple — pre-packaged yogurt, applesauce, hummus, or string cheese are perfect for short lunch breaks.

4️⃣ Food Safety:
Keep cold items in the fridge until just before school to ensure lunch stays fresh and safe.

5️⃣ Food Quality:
Pack thoughtfully so meals last until lunchtime. Separate sandwich components or delicate items, letting children assemble at school.

Packed with care = happy, energized kids! 🌟

Weight Loss Injections + Poor Diet = Missed Opportunity

Whether you’re using Ozempic, another GLP-1 medication, or any prescription weight loss aid — remember:

Reduced appetite is NOT permission to skip meals or live on coffee and crackers.

This is your opportunity to:
✨ Reset your relationship with food
✨ Improve food quality
✨ Learn portion control
✨ Build lifelong habits

A clean, balanced, protein-focused eating plan combined with movement will:
• Preserve lean muscle
• Support metabolic health
• Improve energy
• Reduce rebound weight gain

The injection assists. Your habits determine sustainability.

📲 Reach out for personalised nutritional guidance while using GLP-1 therapy.

My name is Elmien and I am a wife, a mother to two toddlers, a working girl and someone who likes to spend time with family and friends. My life is full and happy but it has made me realise that, notwithstanding our best human intensions, we tend to neglect our nutritional and physical wellbeing.

Because of time restraints we seek swift and immediate information online but are often left more confused and vulnerable due to discrepancies in professional opinions.

As a dietitian, with 16 years experience in private practice, I have learned to create individualized, enjoyble, sustainable and affordable meal plans rooted in science and research. I am therefore perfectly positioned to assist you with an approach to engage YOUR healthy lifestyle.

I aspire to empower each and every person by giving them the correct basket of tools to directly improve quality of life
