Diet food delivery is one of the fastest growing trends in weight loss today.
What is it and can a diet delivery service help you lose weight? Here's a review to help you decide:
What is it?
Diet delivery services prepare diet meals for you and ship them to your home either daily, weekly or monthly.
Meals are often dietitian approved and chef-prepared to be low calorie, low fat, low carb etc. They are then delivered to your door either fresh or frozen.
What Kind of Meals Can You Choose From?
Diet delivery services offer you lots of options. For example some delivery services offer Zone meals, low carb, vegetarian, low fat, kosher or even diabetic friendly meals.
Some services ask you to fill out a profile and then tailor a specific menu to your personal goals, situation and lifestyle. Others allow you to choose meals from pre-set menu lists.
How Does It Work?
Depending on the service you can get your meals delivered to your home (or office) once a month, once a week, or even daily. You can choose to have breakfast, lunch and dinner delivered or just gourmet lunches and dinners.
Most diet meal delivery services will let you choose your preferences online and then order. In a couple of business days you should receive your food for that week.
In general, meals come prepared with heating instructions on the packaging. In many cases you also get bonus gifts like free meals or weight loss instruction booklets and tools.
Will You Lose Weight?
Yes - if you follow your chosen program. Most diet delivery services state that their clients lose from 2-5 pounds per week, depending on age, gendre, level of activity, etc.
Recent studies have shown that people have more success losing weight with diet delivery than they do with traditional diets. This makes sense - when all of the work is done for you, it's much easier to lose weight.
And with gourmet meals prepared especially for you, there isn't that sense of deprivation that sabotages most dieting efforts. In most cases you just choose your meal from fridge, heat for 5-10 minutes and enjoy.
Is It Expensive?
Surprisingly enough - it's not. Diet delivery can be cheaper than what most people normally spend on food. You can get a full plan (breakfast, lunch and dinner) starting from around $15 a day.
Some plans offer discounts if you order monthly (vs. weekly) and some even offer free meals when you sign up.
Also, many delivery clients with very busy lives feel that the time they save every day by having their meals delivered more than pays for itself.
Bottom Line:
Getting your diet meals prepared and sent to your door is possibly the easiest way to lose weight in a rushed, crazy-busy world.
While a delivery service is not for eveyone, if you've had problems losing weight in the past and you just don't have the time to spend preparing complicated recipes or shopping for diet food, it may be right for you.
One note of caution: do your homework before you decide on a diet delivery service. There are several services out there - but they all offer unique services. By researching what's out there before you make a final decision, you can save money and find the best plan for you.
