Home Delivered Meal Replacement Diets
The clue is in the name, as this refers to the type of dieting plan that is actually physically delivered to your home.
It comes in the form of ready prepared and packaged meals that you store in your freezer or cool pantry.
You then remove each meal as you require it and either thaw naturally and heat up in an oven or microwave (assuming it will be a hot meal). For cold meals, thaw the pack and eat cold as in the case of some desserts or breakfast meals.
Often the general method will be to place straight into the microwave and blast it according to the instructions on the packaging.
In a nutshell, that pretty well sums up what diet food delivery meals are and how they are prepared. But you may be wondering what they can possibly be made up of.
What is in the Food?
This will depend upon the manufacturer, be it the diet meal delivery diets from such diet-related companies as Nutrisystem; Jenny Craig; Medifast; Diet-to-Go; Bistro MD or similar. However, you'll find that most companies that provide this service have developed pretty extensive ranges of meals.
That can mean you get a different meal every time right through the duration of the diet's term, which is generally either a fortnight or a month, again depending upon the manufacturer or company providing this type of dieting program.
Breakfasts can consist of low fat yogurts, cereals, toast toppings etc. Lunches can consist of salads with dressings, soups, light meals etc. Main meals can really be made up of a great variety of meals from lasagna to rice dishes, pasta dishes to the exotic or home grown meat and vegetable offerings all depending on the imagination of the creators of the diet itself.
Calorie Counting
These home delivery diet of convenience meals are generally low in calories, small in physical size and will probably contain a balance of carbohydrates with a low Glycemic Index (GI), proteins, fiber and unsaturated fats. In short they will be relatively healthy alternatives to the likely unhealthy meals you regularly eat.
They are designed to help you lose weight as the bottom line. However, as with any type of diet, it is always recommended that you try and do some form of daily exercise to boost your metabolism and increase your chances not just of success but of losing more weight and keeping it off once you complete the program's term.
That is more or less what constitutes the majority of meal replacement diets from companies like Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem for example, where the food is delivered to your home address, that are currently available. They are perfect for busy people that don't have much free time to devote to the task of traditional ways of dieting as they save time, effort and hassle.
