My husband is a Chef. And I love food. We’re the perfect match, if only it wasn’t for the extra pounds I’ve piled up while indulging in his delicious concoctions, in addition to confusing workouts with eating marathons.
But when shopping at Zara started to turn into a real struggle, I knew I had to do something to reduce my waistline. I had previously tried to take matters into my own hands, but it wasn’t long before I was polishing off a tray of chocolate brownies.
So when my colleague successfully lost weight by subscribing to a new meal plan consisting of daily pre-packaged low-calories lunch-boxes prepared by a diet company, I was quick to call them and subscribe too.
4 weeks later, and a gym membership on top of that, I’m down 5kg already! It turned out to be a very convenient solution since I didn’t have to worry about grocery shopping and meal cooking, and the best part is that I even got to eat yummy desserts.
What worked for me might work for you too! Here are some options, including the one I tried, to kick-start your weight loss and have your healthy meals delivered straight to your home or office! HealthBox
I achieved my weight loss results thanks to HealthBox’s “Low-Cal Program”, which requires a minimum enrollment period of 10 days. What I personally liked about it is that the food is surprisingly tasty, so you can enjoy the meals without necessarily feeling like you’re on a diet. Plus all the ingredients are fresh, the dishes are clean and well presented, and there’s a good variety in their menus. The team is also refreshingly professional!
Cost per day: $27 for breakfast, lunch and dinner, $24 a day without breakfast.
Eat! Diet Club My blogger friend Christina Naïm enrolled with Eat! Diet Club and documented her weight loss journey on her blog, Traveling with Thyme. She was able to shed 3.5kg in 4 weeks thanks to their diet plan, and I have to say the food looked scrumptious as they were depicted in her posts!
Cost: $25 full day
Diet Delights As its name suggests, Diet Delights is all about offering healthy food options without taking away the pleasure of eating. What’s cool about it is that you can also select your meals daily by ordering from their varied menu shown here, which mentions the calories intake of each item.
Cost: Starting at 20,000 l.l. and up depending on what you order.
Kcateries If you’re looking for affordable healthy options, Kcateries provides full day diet or detox formulas delivered directly to your door at lower prices to help you lose weight fast.
Cost: $10 a day
Diet Center Another effective clinic is The Nutrition and Diet Center, which has been around for quite some time now. You can either sign up for their pre-packed boxes, or shop for your meals and compare calories at their Hamra branch where you can even seek some guidance from the dietician there.
Cost: 40,000 l.l. a day approximately (depending on your order)
So, whose in for a low-cal burger and lazy cake?
