Diet Delivery - What Is Diet Food Delivery & Is It Right For You?
Diet food delivery is the latest and fastest growing trend in the weight loss industry today. From Hollywood stars to power executives, everyone seems to be jumping on the bandwagon.
But is it right for you? Here are some quick facts about diet delivery 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 prepared according to your preferences and then delivered to your door either fresh or frozen. It's like having your own personal dietitian and chef helping you lose weight.
What Kind of Meals Can You Choose From?
Different services offer you a variety of options. For example some services offers 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. Many meals are chef-prepared and have been created to be both delicious and low calorie.
How Does It Work?
Depending on the service you can get your meals delivered to your home once a month, once a week, or even daily. You can also have your meals shipped to your office.
You can choose to have breakfast, lunch and dinner delivered or just gourmet lunches and dinners. Many plans also let you include snacks.
Most diet food 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 I Lose Weight?
Yes - if you follow your chosen program. Most services state that their clients lose from 2-5 pounds per week, depending on age, gender, level of activity, etc.
Recent studies show 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 easy to lose weight.
Plus with chef-prepared, gourmet meals you don't have that sense of deprivation that sabotages most dieting efforts. You also don't have the frustration of driving to the store, searching for the right food, going home and taking the time to prepare it yourself.
In most cases you just choose your meal from fridge, heat for 5-10 minutes and enjoy.
How Much Does It Cost?
These days, with larger services able to offer lower prices, you don't have to be a movie star to enjoy diet delivery. Plans start from under $20 a day (which is what many people spend on food anyway). You can even get gourmet plans which cater to specific needs or allergies for about $30-$35 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 feel that the time they save every day by having their meals delivered more than pays for itself. Time is money after all!
Final Note:
Getting your diet meals prepared and sent to your door is possibly the easiest way to lose weight in a rushed, crazy-busy world.
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, diet delivery may be right for you. It's easy, affordable, delicious and it works.
One note of caution: do your homework before you decide on a diet food delivery service. There are several services out there - but they all offer unique options. By researching what's out there before you make a final decision, you can save money, find the best plan for you and really enjoy losing weight.

Food Is A Need, But Good Cooked Food Is A Want!
The other day, I went to the famous restaurant that had opened recently in my locality. I sat opposite to the couple who were in their mid 40?s. The waiter came & I placed my order. As is the human nature, after placing my order, I started peeking at other tables around me. Just then, my eyes caught this waiter, who had in his hand a large serving dish filled with small & medium sized dishes. There was something in the fragrance & fumes that were coming out that my eyes got fixed onto it. As the waiter came nearer, I realized that the dishes landed one by one on the table directly opposite to me.
