Food delivery services have become all the rage recently with the remarkable success of Nutrisystems. With all the calorie counting and portion control done for you they are especially convenient for those on the go. Epicurious recently rated 5 of the top diet-food delivery plans.
In descending order here’s how the plans were rated:
1. eDiets Deliciously Yours (formerly eDiets express) – daily price $39.26
2. Zone Chefs (endorsed by Liza Minnelli, Ivanka Trump and football player Jason Fabini) - daily price $52.13
3. Pure Foods fresh low carb (formerly Atkins at Home) – daily price $47.80
4. Jenny Craig – (endorsed by Kristie Alley and Valerie Bertinelli) daily price $23.99
5. Nutrisystem – (endorsed by Dan Marino) daily price $12.23
The eDiets plan was rated number one primarily for it’s flexibility compared with the other plans. Here’s a little secret you may not be aware of; eDiets, Zone Chefs and Pure Foods low carb are all contracted from the same manufacturer, so it’s no surprise that the same Very Berry Chicken dish was found on all 3 plans. Under the less costly eDiets plan you can also choose the same dishes on the Zone Chefs and Pure Foods plans so this may be a way to save a few bucks.
Zone chefs follows the Zone Diet by Barry Sears, Phd, which advocates 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fats. Celebrity devotees of the Zone diet include Jennifer Aniston and Cindy Crawford. More gourmet in flavor it was considered too costly by the epicurious team.
The Atkins plan, Pure Foods fresh low carb dominated by meats and artificial sweetners, is high in saturated fats and low in fiber. The Jenny Craig plan was panned for too much sugar (almost a quarter of total calories) and trans-fats. Fiber content was also noted to be too low. The least liked by the ePicurious team, the Nutrisystem plan was noted to be high in artificial sweetners, trans-fats, preservatives and low in fiber. The add-water component to many of the packaged meals reminded them of “astronaut” food. Another aviation inspired comment included “much of the plan tastes like airline food.” Ouch!

"For $275 a month, Medifast sells dieters a starter kit of sub-1,000-calorie meals, including soups, shakes and health bars."
In a separate article, Barron had questions about the Medifast study. "They concluded that it needed more work and believed it added little to the body of research on weight-loss management. 'It looked like a very flawed study,' said one researcher."
