Diets delivered to your door

Getting a tailor-made diet delivered to your door is a great idea. It takes the hassle out of deciding what you're going to eat and then preparing it, and it removes temptation - making it a great option for the weak-willed or short of time. You eat what you're given. Take a look at the latest and most popular delivered diets currently helping men and women everywhere shed the pounds. 

Go Lower

The Go Lower diet has been in the UK for the past three years and has become increasingly popular due to its 90% success rate. The diet works by triggering ketosis, the body's fat-burning process, through a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet plan. Go Lower say that the diet is best followed by those who have more than a stone to lose as the tailor-made plan can help dieters lose a stone a month so you can stay on it for as long as you need to. All of the food delivered is completely fresh and 100% natural although you will need to add your own vegetables and side salads as these aren't included.  

Prices for the Go Lower weight-loss program vary depending on each customer and consultation and can start from £60 a week. For more information on the Go Lower weight loss programme visit www.golower.co.uk or call 0800 862 0099.

Pure Package

Based on the principles of a perfectly balanced diet, the Pure Package programme offers varied, filling food that resembles something from the menu of an upmarket restaurant.  Following the mantra, 'convenience with a conscience', all of the food from Pure Package is ethically sourced and completely fresh, and the deliveries are carbon neutralised. The diet aims to help you lose weight by breaking old habits and teaching you new food combinations, relying on portion control not abstinence. There are seven plans to choose from, including pre- and post-baby, skin and ageing, and weight loss. For each plan you receive at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day and a minimum of one portion of essential fats per day. Everything is included in your diet except drinks and you can expect to enjoy a varied diet of dishes from around the world such as Thai chicken noodle salad, spiced swordfish with black bean salsa and stuffed roasted red peppers with goat's cheese. Depending on the program you choose you can lose up to a stone a month and you should also feel more motivated, energised and clear-headed.

Prices start from £32.95 per day for the full program. Visit www.purepackage.com for more information.

This diet is great for those looking for a fuss-free way to lose weight as all of the meals come in pre-prepared, pre-packaged packets, so all you have to do is pop your meal in the microwave and eat it.

The most notable thing about this diet is the menu and you can expect your meals to include usually ‘forbidden' delights such as macaroni cheese, lasagne and mushroom risotto, not bad for a diet! Weight loss on Diet Chef varies from person to person but you can expect to lose around a stone a month.

Bodychef

Not everyone wants to diet to lose weight; sometimes a detox diet can do wonders for energy and concentration levels while a low-carb blitz can help beat the bloat for a streamlined beach body. This is something the Bodychef diet addresses with its seven unique diets. Choose from seven eating plans, ssuch as the Low GI Plan, the Superfood Plan and the Flat Belly Diet Plan, depending on how much weight you want to lose. You can expect to lose between three and seven pounds in your first week on the diet and up to a stone in the first month. Unlike many other delivery diet services you don't have to sign up for a fortnight or a month, you can start from three, four, or seven days and, if you live within the M25, you can opt for the five-day city plan, leaving your weekends free to eat out or cook for yourself. All of your meals and snacks are included on the diet, and cartons of fresh orange juice come with some plans. All of the food is completely fresh and individually packaged and labelled as well, so no artificial preservatives.

Prices for the Bodychef diet start at £95.98 for a week on the seven-day plan or £73 for a week on the five-day city plan (available inside the M25). Trial hampers are £43.99. Visit www.bodychef.com for more information. Read our tester's review of the Bodychef Atkind diet.

Nosh

For those looking for a new way of eating for better health, skin and body shape, rather than a diet, try the Nosh program. Placing the emphasis on detox, the Nosh plan includes an abundance of fruit smoothies, vegetable stir-fries, fresh fish and salads to eliminate harmful toxins from the body. The end result will be an overall improvement in health and wellbeing, as well as substantial weight loss. There is a wide range of diet plans available to suit all tastes and lifestyles including a weekend detox, an anti-cellulite programme and a seven-day juice fast for the seriously dedicated. Weight loss varies on the diet plan you select but you can expect to lose around half a stone in just five days.

The fresh food and juice diet programs are currently only available within the M25 but Nosh also does a range of at-home detox kits and cook books that they ship nationwide. Prices start from £32 a day. Visit www.noshdetoxdelivery.com for more information.
