Can’t Eat Gourmet Food on a Diet? Wrong!
By TheConspicuousConsumer • Oct 6th, 2008 • Category: Gourmet FoodMany people think that you just can’t eat gourmet food while trying to lose weight or diet. While it is more difficult, great gourmet food is available for just about any diet you may be embarked on.
Over the next few days, weeks, months, and decades (ok, maybe not decades!) I’ll post some of my ideas on where to find gourmet food for any diet or lifestyle.
My first suggestion is this:
Use a Food Delivery Service
I’m not talking about diet programs like Nutrisystem, although I have heard good things about their product. What I’m talking about is services around the country that focus on delivering their clients high quality, healthy meals on a daily or weekly basis.
These companies usually only deliver within a local area. For example, SunFare only delivers within the Los Angeles and Phoenix areas. However, if you live in or near a major city you should be able to find a food delivery service that can cater to your needs and provide you with meals for your diet. A quick Google search or check of your local business directory should help you find a food delivery service in your area.
The downside to these services is that they are usually fairly expensive. For example, SunFare’s Vegetarian program can cost almost $70 for a single day’s meals for one person.
On a side note, check out some of the food delivery service web sites as some do offer free recipes for some of the meals that they prepare and deliver. Usually this involves signing up for their mailing list.
People who mainly eat a diet of processed foods may not get enough potassium, calcium, fat dairy products. Gourmet Diet
Good point about processed foods… Fortunately, most of these services are using fresh ingredients and preparing the meals daily. They are simply packaged for delivery to their customers just like if you ordered take-out at a restaurant.
