My name is Christine Marquette and I'm a registered dietitian with the Austin Regional Clinic
and I'm going to talk to you a little bit about diet delivery services. These particular
programs run the gamut. There are some that are strictly regional, there are also some
that can be found nationally. And they offer a variety of options. One type of diet delivery
service is actually called Healthy Living. This particular service program offers foods
that are natural and organic. So if you - if that's something that's very important
to you this would be a good option. They have a variety of packages available, weekly menus,
you can buy the monthly, you also are able to earn free meals. There's others for example
the Chef's Diet. This particular delivery service program is based on Doctor Sears'
Zone Diet, so all of the meals have forty percent carbohydrate, thirty percent protein,
thirty percent fat. So that might be something good for somebody who is looking to control
their carbohydrate intake. For example somebody who needs to control their blood sugars. They
may want to go with that particular program. Similarly to the others it offers different
packages, different amounts of meals you can buy whether you want to do three meals a day
or you want to do three meals and snacks. Or maybe you just want to buy lunch and dinner
and do your other meals and snacks on your own. It offers a variety of packages and it
also offers you the ability to earn free meals. A couple of other ones, Bistro MD, that particular
program is actually developed as a weight loss program by a medical doctor. A lot of
the menus actually are reviewed by a dietitian and you do have access to registered dietitians
through their program if you have any questions. You can get a free diet analysis, determine
exactly what your calorie level should be, depending on what your goal is for weight
loss. And they also offer different options, gourmet options, basic plans, a variety of
choices whether you want all three meals or snacks so all of these programs are similar
in that they offer you a variety of options whether you want to include snacks or basic
meals. And a lot of them also allow you to earn points toward obtaining free meals so
just a little bit of information for you on diet delivery services.
