Looks delicious, but will it help you lose weight?
It's a nice treat to have fresh and interesting meals delivered right to your front door, but there are a number of not-so-great things about diet delivery services. While they may not be for everyone, this service can be beneficial to many people for a variety of reasons.
Pro:
* Convenient; delivered right to your door
* No shopping for groceries or spending hours in the kitchen
* May help you lose weight; takes the work out of counting calories and watching portions
* Variety in meal options
* Fresh food delivery services (instead of pre-packaged food) can provide you with your daily allowance of fresh fruits and vegetables
* Nutrition information and food labels provided for all meals
Con:
* Lots of packaging; not environmentally-friendly; wasteful
* Usually an expensive service
* Portion sizes are typically small; may cause you to overeat later on
* May include lots of preservatives and/or artificial flavors
* May not be “nutritionally sound” (i.e. high in fat and sugar, low in fiber and nutrients)
* Some plans offer a lack of variety; may get boring
* Food may not be as fresh as if you prepared it yourself
* Scheduling pick-up/drop-off times may be troublesome
* When you get off the diet delivery service, it’s possible to gain weight again because you go back to your old eating habits; you never learn proper portion control or how make your own healthy meals
* You could be wasting your money; you may not lose weight
