Selecting and preparing the right type of food for the Zone Diet, South Beach Diet and other weight loss programs can be a challenge. If you're living in or visiting Beverly Hills and do not want to prepare special diet food, enroll in home-delivery services that provide customized, gourmet menus and specialty food items that meet your dietary needs.
Function
Having freshly prepared diet meals delivered to the home each day can reduce the stress of buying and preparing food to make complicated recipes, and also reduce the risk of weight gain. Dieters in the Beverly Hills area can enroll in a variety of gourmet diet delivery programs. Meal-service delivery programs are designed as daily and weekly programs.
Types
Popular home-delivery diet food programs in the Beverly Hills area include Zone LA, NutriFit and BistroMD. The chef-prepared meals provide you with the exact number of calories and macronutrients you need to stick with your diet plan. Individuals who need special meals or those who follow a restrictive diet can place orders for customized meals that take their special diet into consideration; additional fees may apply for these specialty services.
Features
The Zone LA program offers meals that comply with Zone Diet guidelines; all meals and snacks meet the 40-30-30 protein, carbohydrate and fat ratio. The ZONE Los Angeles food-delivery program is put together by professional kitchen staff, and meals are delivered each day. The program features three gourmet meals and two snacks, and dieters can expect to lose between 1 to 3 pounds per week if they stick to the program. The NutriFit meal-service program delivers a customized menu from a database of more than 2,000 recipes made with fresh ingredients. Each meal is designed for different needs and lifestyles, and the meal plans are personalized for each dieter. Meal plans are available for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and deserts, and deliveries are made on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. NutriFit also offers educational services such as virtual coaching, seasonal recipes and onsite and offsite cooking programs. BistroMD offers meal plans starting at $129.95 per week and meals can be ordered online or by phone; the company offers six weekly menus with rotating themes and specialty food items.
Considerations
Some home-delivery services offer discounts for people who may be receiving multiple meals at the same location, and minimum order delivery charges may apply. If the dieter is lactose intolerant, has wheat or peanut allergies, or needs a very specialized diet, the meal-service provider may offer additional customized meal services for an extra fee. Meal-service providers such as BistroMD also offer free meals and discounts for new customers.
Benefits
Frozen meals can be heated in the microwave or oven and served within minutes. Some meal-service providers allow you to select from several different menus each week.
