Diets That Really Deliver

...Following are a few home delivery services catering to customers wanting the ultimate in convenience when trying to shed pounds…

SUNFARE’S ZONE

Sunfare offers a variety of meal styles for home delivery, including the Zone.  Meals prepared in accordance with that system (30 percent protein, 40 percent carbohydrate and 30 percent fat) show up nightly in an insulated bag outside your door.  Included was a full day’s food (two days’ worth on Saturdays), from a couple of snacks to breakfast, lunch and dinner.  After signing up, customers are assigned a Client Counselor. Before starting the service, the counselor asks about my dietary likes and dislikes, determines a fitness and activity level to help determine the amount of daily calories required.

Sunfare offers a large repertoire of dishes, so repetition isn’t much of a problem. Breakfasts ranged from a variety of omelets and quiches to sweet apple sausage.  Lunch offered a greater diversity, from Enchiladas to Mustard-Baked Chicken to Stuffed Peppers.  Dinners all come with a side salad, from baby spinach to romaine with garbanzo beans, while entrees covered culinary ground from Chicken Cordon Bleu to Orange Peppercorn Tenderloin. Nuts, cheeses and fresh fruits were plentiful, too.

…Ingredients were reliably fresh and high quality, and more than enough food was provided to remove the incentive to cheat.
