Diet food can seem boring, bland, and just inconvenient. Now, there's no excuse not to eat healthy as there are food delivery services preparing healthy low-cal meals and sending them straight to your doorstep.
Most of these 'diet delivery' brands in the metro pattern their clientele's daily and weekly menus to the 1,200 calorie a day diet plan. Basic rule of weight loss dictates that calories consumed should be less than calories burned/used up in a day, and that if you follow a meal plan that gives you a daily caloric intake of 1,200 (it is said that anything lower than this amount is unhealthy), weight loss is achieved quicker. Most customers following this diet plan drop 2 to 5 pounds in one week.
These food delivery services also remind clients that not all calories are created equal: 300 calories of potato chips, for instance, won't reap the same nutritional benefits as 300 calories of brown rice (and make you feel fuller at that). You still need all those important nutrients to be consumed by your body to function at your best, so the challenge for dieters (and these food delivery services) is to balance the right kinds of food at the right portioning — without sacrificing flavor and variety.
If you want to shed some pounds by eating right, you can have a diet delivery service do the legwork for you. Here's a list of how you can 'eat to lose'– 9 food delivery services in Metro Manila for healthy, low-calorie meals.
