Does Diet Chef deliver on what it promises?

I only came across Diet Chef lately when I saw it advertised on television and thought, this is a really good idea, especially for a busy person on the go wanting to lose some weight. With ‘do-it-yourself menu based diets’ you really have to be organised when shopping for the right ingredients, then there is of course the weighing and measuring and lastly having to cook it all.

The idea of receiving a months worth of pre-prepared healthy and tasty food seems a bit to good to be true but this is what the Diet Chef service promises.

Diet Chef delivers to your door, a hamper full of chef prepared ready meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, not forgetting some healthy snacks for those hunger pangs. It is really easy and fast as all the meals require no more than a quick turn in the microwave or saucepan.

Diet Chef reviews your personal profile to create a tailored programme

The meals contain healthy ingredients and are calorie controlled (1,200 daily calories) there are a wide variety of meals so you never get bored… porridge and granola for breakfast, soups or milkshakes for lunch, and pastas, curries, hot pots and more for dinner. However, don’t expect milk or fresh fruit or vegetables in the hamper so you will need to buy these separately – Diet Chef recommend that you supplement their meals with some fresh fruit and vegetables and milk each day. Diet Chef claims that there is a hamper for everyone… all hampers can be fully tailored to suit individual needs and tastes including vegetarian options.

You also get a ‘all you need to know’ 48 page guide to the diet covering how the diet works, exercise, help for eating out and lots more. You have access to their forum which offers a great place to get tips and encouragement from other people while also sharing your progress. It is also good to note that there is are specially trained diet advisors on hand to offer support and practical advice whenever you need it.

So what does all this good, tasty, healthy nutritionally planned food, prepared by a chef and delivered to your door cost… well surprisingly it is very cost effective, probably not much more than you already spend on your individual weekly shop maybe even less!
