Hey bestie, it‘s your favorite fashionista here! You know I‘m always on the hunt for the latest trends, whether it‘s the newest designer handbag or the hottest workout class. But lately, I‘ve been obsessed with something a little different: G-Plans, the personalized nutrition program that‘s straight-up transforming people‘s bodies.

I know, I know, you‘ve probably heard me rave about a bunch of fad diets before (juice cleanses, keto, intermittent fasting, I‘ve tried ‘em all). But trust me, G-Plans is different. It‘s not about restricting yourself or cutting out entire food groups. Instead, it‘s all about eating the right foods for your unique body and metabolism. And let me tell you, the results are freaking incredible.

What Is G-Plans? (And Why Are Celebs Obsessed With It?)

Before I get into my own experience, let me give you the rundown on G-Plans. Started in 2018, it‘s a personalized wellness system that creates customized meal plans based on your metabolic type. It was developed by Dr. Philip Goglia, the nutritionist behind some of Hollywood‘s most insane body transformations (think Chris Hemsworth‘s Thor physique and literally every Kardashian).

The idea is that everyone‘s body is different and has unique nutritional needs, so one-size-fits-all diets are BS. Instead, G-Plans uses a quick quiz to figure out your "metabolic type" and what ratio of protein, carbs, and fat your body runs best on. Then, they give you a meal plan that‘s designed to optimize your metabolism and get you the best results possible.

It sounds high-tech, but it‘s actually really simple (trust me, if I can do it, anyone can). You just take a 30-second quiz on the G-Plans website answering things like your age, body type, usual cravings, any health issues, and your goal (lose weight, gain muscle, have more energy, etc). Then bam, you get your custom plan and start eating right for your type.

The program has blown up in the last few years, with features in Women‘s Health, Popsugar, People Mag—you name it. They‘ve got a huge online community (we‘re talking 130,000+ people) posting their crazy before-and-afters. Apparently, the average person on G-Plans is losing around 3 pounds per week.

Okay, But What‘s the Science Behind G-Plans?

Alright, I‘m no biochemist, but I‘ll break down the basic idea of metabolic typing for you. According to Dr. G, there are 3 main types:

  1. Protein & Fat Efficient: These people do best on a higher intake of healthy proteins and fats, and lower carbs. (Celebs like Chris Pratt and Chris Hemsworth are in this group.)

  2. Carbohydrate Efficient: On the flip side, these metabolisms thrive on a higher proportion of complex carbs and lower fat. (The Kardashians apparently fall into this type).

  3. Dual Efficient: Then there‘s the lucky ones whose bodies can efficiently process a balanced mix of all macronutrients. (Goals!)

Once you know your type based on the quiz, you can see what percentage of protein, fat, and carbs you should be aiming for at each meal to keep your metabolism humming. The G-Plans app helps you track everything and gives you a grocery list and recipes. Easy peasy.

And get this—your plan changes every week based on your progress and results. So if you start plateauing or feeling hungry all the time, your nutritionist can tweak things to keep your body in that sweet spot. It‘s basically like having a scientist optimize your diet 24/7.

So that‘s the gist of how G-Plans works. But I‘m sure you‘re wondering, does it actually work? Lemme tell you my experience…

My G-Plans Journey & Results

Full disclosure: I‘ve tried pretty much every diet in the book over the years. As a fashion and beauty influencer, there‘s a lot of pressure to have that "perfect" body, you know? But no matter how many cleanses I did or calories I counted, the weight never seemed to stay off for long. I was stuck in a cycle of losing and gaining the same 15 pounds over and over.

When I heard about G-Plans through a friend, I was honestly skeptical. I mean, a quiz that tells you exactly what to eat for your DNA? It sounded too good to be true. But after seeing all the crazy transformations on Instagram, I figured I had nothing to lose (except hopefully some belly fat, lol).

I signed up for the app and took the metabolic typing quiz. It was actually kind of fun, like a Buzzfeed quiz but for nutrition. Based on my height, weight, body shape, and lifestyle habits, it told me I was "Carbohydrate Efficient". Which made sense, because I‘ve always had a raging sweet tooth and felt my best eating stuff like oatmeal and fruit.

The app spit out a custom meal plan with recipes and a shopping list. And guys, the food was so good. We‘re talking Mediterranean egg scrambles, zoodle pasta with pesto chicken, berries with whipped cottage cheese… I was eating more than I ever did on other diets, and the best part was, I never felt hungry or deprived.

I committed to following the plan to a T for 30 days, because that‘s how long Dr. G says it takes to really reset your metabolism. And honestly? The first two weeks were a little tough. I had some headaches and cravings in the beginning. But after that, it was like my body just clicked into gear. My energy levels skyrocketed, I was sleeping better, my skin cleared up, and the pounds started melting off almost effortlessly.

After my first month on G-Plans, I‘d lost 12 pounds—and for the first time in forever, it felt easy to keep it off. I went on to lose about 30 pounds over 6 months, and I‘ve stayed within 5 pounds of my goal weight for the last year. But even crazier than the weight loss were all the other benefits. I swear my hair got shinier, my period cramps basically disappeared, and I even started crushing my workouts in the gym. It‘s like G-Plans gave me this whole new body and lease on life.

G-Plans Results From Real People

  1. Be consistent. I know it sounds obvious, but the biggest key to success with G-Plans is sticking to your personalized plan as much as possible. The more consistent you are, the faster your body will adapt and start burning fat for fuel.

  2. Plan ahead. Take 30 minutes at the beginning of each week to shop for your G-Plans recipes and do some meal prep. It‘s way easier to stay on track when you have compliant snacks and meals ready to go in the fridge.

  3. Talk to your nutritionist. Don‘t be afraid to ask your G-Plans coach questions or give them feedback on what‘s working and what‘s not. They can help you troubleshoot any challenges and make sure your plan is optimized for your lifestyle and preferences.

  4. Embrace the 80/20 rule. Look, we‘re all human. Sometimes you‘re gonna have a glass of wine or a slice of birthday cake, and that‘s okay! G-Plans actually builds "treat meals" into your weekly plan. Just aim to stick to your G-Plan 80-90% of the time and enjoy a few reasonable indulgences.

  5. Focus on all the benefits. It‘s easy to get wrapped up in the number on the scale, but some of the most amazing perks of G-Plans have nothing to do with weight loss. Take note of how much better you‘re sleeping, how much more energy you have, any positive changes to your skin/hair/digestion. That‘s the real magic!
