All of us want to be fit and fine! During the search for weight loss, major population of America is going towards plans for free home delivery. These plans include preparation and delivery of pre-packaged diet meals.
Although costs are not pocket friendly, still more and more people are opting for it. According to chief editor of Epicurious.com, Tanya Steel regarding the sales of delivery diet plans, “Just last year it’s gone up 33 percent, and they say it’s going to be $1 billion this year.” If you are looking for fresh ingredients then price of plan would be approximately $50 per day. She also added, “If you take into account that you’re buying breakfast on the go and coffee and then you’re probably buying lunch at work, and then you’re probably buying something at a fast food store or going to the supermarket, it probably evens out.”
Although, this delivery diet plan is quite costly, still it is worthwhile. According to the nutritionist and professor of Yale University, Dr. David Katz, “A lot of people these days don’t know how to cook, frankly. And they don’t know how to cook the right stuff. So this takes all the thought and preparation out,” he further added “Portion control is the second best thing about the pre-packaged meals. They provide a little bit of built in discipline here.”
A few popular diet plans are Zone, eDiet, Pure Foods, Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem. As there is no exact plan, consumers need to follow a few things, such as Ingredients, Chemical names, Sodium content, Fructose and Fiber. Avoid intake of large amount of Chemicals. You must take care that sodium content should be less. Large quantity of fructose is unhealthy. Lastly, avoid huge amount of fibers.
Delivery diets are helpful in establishing pattern for healthy meals. According to Dr. David “As soon as you stop getting the home delivery meals, you’re as senseless and clueless as when you started — instead of learning how to read labels and portion control, you answered the door every morning and ate what they told you to eat,” he said. “So if you’re going to do this, fine — but you need to also learn the good, healthy eating that’s going to sustain you in the long run.”
