You may have asked yourself lately, "what's all the hype about diet delivery?"
If you think it's some kind of low calorie pizza, you are in for a surprise. Although diet delivery services have been around for quiet a while (about 10 years), it is only in the past couple of years that a handful of new companies have started catering to a clientele with a more sophisticated palate. As the name implies, diet delivery services provide their customers with ready made low calorie meals, but it doesn't stop there. Many of these new services are focusing not only on calories and portion control, but they are offering chef prepared gourmet meals. And because of the quality factor, diet delivery programs are gaining popularity.
Gourmet diet delivery programs use certified nutritionists to design menus and portions and trained chefs to create gourmet quality food. The result is a healthy delicious meal that help dieters lose weight without counting calories, shopping, cooking or even doing the dishes.
How it works
There are many local programs in many major cities. These programs may deliver the food once a day or once a week. The major companies use the Internet to gain new customers, and deliver nationwide via FedEx. For less than $25 a day plus shipping, these companies will deliver once a week 5 or 7 days worth of meals. Some services allow you to pick your menus. Most will design the menus for you, since the total food intake for one day should amount to a fixed number of calories (about 1200 on the average).
Ordering online could not be easier. Their websites have all the information you need in order to get started. Usually the minimum is one week, but once you sign up they will continue to charge you and deliver until you cancel. The food is either fresh (refrigerated) or frozen and it arrives in Styrofoam boxes, ready to put away in the refrigerator. All you have to do is heat it up and eat it.
For people on the go this is a huge time-saver. Considering that most of the shopping and preparing is done for you, the price is not all that bad and since the services are so easy to cancel, trying out more than one diet delivery company might be tempting for those who want to find the best tasting diet food.
