Do You Know the Best Diets of 2024?
BACKGROUND
The Fresh Diet is a local service that hails out of North Florida and serves the entire South Florida region. It bases its fresh-food delivery service solely on the Zone Diet by Dr. Sears, but is not in any way affiliated with the good doctor or his site. Instead, The Fresh Diet is, in effect, a kitchen that cooks and compiles the best of Dr. Sear's food ideas and ships them daily to the recipient. Nothing is ever frozen or vacuum-packed.
In order to make this service both healthy and affordable, the staff at The Fresh Diet have a roll-over plan that allows you to cancel a meal within 24 hours and to re-utilize it at a later date. Thus, if you have plans to leave town for a couple days, you won't lose out on your meal ticket, you will simply order two that would have belonged to the previous week and add them at a later date. A 24/7 concierge is always at your service to help with these last-minute change of plans.
Finally, in order to accommodate their client’s likes and dislikes, or food allergies, The Fresh Diet allows up to eight choices of "never serve me" foods for their Chef's Choice package, and an unlimited array of "I do not like" listings from their Premium Choice package.
The Fresh Diet began in Florida in 2005 and continues to grow. Almost like a caterer on steroids, The Fresh Diet ensures that you never have to suffer through a TV dinner or canned soup meal again. Additionally, since it is based on one of the most respected diet plans, more commonly known as a way-of-life eating plan, it ensures that you will obtain a full array of nutritional foods that are actually good for you. No more guessing at caloric intake or trying to figure out the percentage of carbohydrates versus proteins. This company balances each meal and snack according to the Zone Diet outlines.
PRO
The Fresh Diet is a progressive company that is growing rapidly. Their chefs strive to bring new recipe ideas to the table and compete with one another for the privilege of offering them on The Fresh Diet's refreshing menu.
- Always fresh, never frozen or vacuum-packed food.
- Three meals and two snacks delivered fresh daily.
- Choose meals up to 31 days ahead or no less than 3 days prior.
- Emergency 24-hour cancellation available through a personal concierge.
- Personal diet counselors are at your service to help advise you concerning weight issues.
- Recently expanded to serve more locations than just Miami
CON
- At this time, only serving Miami, Chicago and Tri-State area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
- This is a Gourmet Food service and is probably not a good option for a family situation
DIET and NUTRITION
The Zone Diet is a loud and proud proponent of the Omega-3 group of fatty acids, and their healthy benefits. Since Omega-3s are primarily found in fish oils, The Fresh Diet offers a wide array of fish, cooked to perfection by a group of chefs who enjoy cooking. Of course, they also offer steak or corned beef, but each dish is balanced with fruits, vegetables and snacks, designed for optimal nutrition. A small sampling of food choices are:
- Crab Cake Drizzled with Chipotle Lime Sauce
- Spicy Tilapia Steak, dressed with jerk rub & lime
- Fruit Kabobs with Citrus Yogurt Dip
- Smoked Salmon with eggs on whole wheat with chives and lemon balm
- Avocado Swiss California Burger on Whole Wheat Bun
- Exotic Fruit Salad with Fresh Mango, Papaya, Kiwi, Pineapple & Passion Fruit w/yogurt
CONCLUSION
The Fresh Diet is a big success in the limited area it currently serves. The very essence of its existence is that it provides fresh food within a defined delivery area, meaning that the food is not only the highest quality, but prepared with solid dietary foundations found within the Zone Diet. If this enterprising young business franchises, and keeps its quality and delivery viable enough to ensure freshness, it may very well be one of the best diet offerings to come along in a great while.

-This has been a very bad experience for me ..not only was food deliveded several times on days it was not suppose to be.. I have been waiting for 2 weeks to get my money back after trying to cancel ..... After repeated unreturned calls to the " sales" concierge and the accounting department .. I have run out of patience and will be filing formal complaints with the Fla. Dept of Consumer affairs..
posted Apr 20th, 2009 2:21 pmAs far as the food.. it was gnereally way underportioned but OK . With several exceptions.. One day i received the vegetables for my meal with no steak ( dinner ) another time I got a pastrami sandwhich that was 90% white globbs of Fat.. I took pictures of it and sent them in .. no one called me back.. They did however eventually credsit me for these meals.. Do your self a favor and run as fast as you can away from these people .. It is nowhere near worth the money ..!!!!

+I can't believe how awesome this diet is. I used to eat out several times a week because I didn't have the time or patience to cook different things. Now, I find that I don't even want to eat out!

I'm on the Fresh Diet Chicago I"ve been on it for three weeks. Sometime the food is great other times is frankly awful. I've been given raw fish, mistakes in the ingredients, things left out, or dislikes included. Stay away from fish dishes and get prepared for a lot of chicken. Customer service is not that good because they not to respond when you have a negative comment.

-I gave the meal delivery a good review in December. Since then, the portions have gotten very inconsistant. One day I will get a nice size omlet and the next time, I will get a one egg omlet that barely covers the vegetables. I called customer service to let them know and all they did was increase my protein to almost double. This did not keep the meals in the zone balance. I am very knowledgeable about the zone eating plan. You can not increase the protein and not increase the carbs and fat. I think the food is delicious but they need to work out the consistant portions. I was planning to stick with the program for 5 months, but for the price it is not worth it.

+I am on the Fresh Diet in Los Angeles. I have been on the program for 3 weeks and absolutely love it. I would definitely recommend them.

+WHAT A FANTASTIC WAY TO EAT HEALTHY! I have been on the diet for 10 days now and everyday I get a totally new menu for the day. And it is delicious. I would say that I would probably want a water bottle everyday to take to work but I usually just buy a case in the beginning of the week. PLEASE try this program it changed my life.

+I am happy to see the 100% rating & happy to add to that. I live in Los Angeles & have been on the Fresh Diet a few weeks now. After trying many other fresh deliveries I think I finally found the best. Give them a try you wont be disappointed!

+The food is fresh and delicious. I live alone so it's hard to buy food for one person and not waste. I have lost 13 lbs in 1 month with a lot of new exercise. I like The Fresh Diet over others I have tried bc the food is not cooked to death and the variety is fantastic. I get fresh fruits and vegetables daily. I also like that there are 4 options for each meal, so I can select what travels well for work. I don't have a way to reheat my food. I renewed for another month. It is well worth the price. I had to get use to the small portions but my body has adjusted. I am no longer hungry between meals.

+Have been on the program for 2 months, very good. Being in NY I also tried a few different programs. The Fresh Diet is at the top.
