EXERCISE
There are no specific exercise guidelines with The Zone Delivery plan, but the Zone Diet does encourage regular exercise as part of an effective weight loss plan. Within the next five years, the company plans to offer Zone Delivery nationwide.
Suiting A Home Diet Meal Plan To My Tastes
Plates include, clockwise from top from left: Chefs Diet's roast chicken with basil gremolata; Nu-Kitchen's vegetarian moussaka; Zone Manhattan's spinach and herb frittata; Zone Manhattan's seared lamb T-bone with red rice; the Zone lamb dish in its delivery package; and eDiet's chicken breast and shrimp alfredo over pasta. The couple explained they were having diet meals delivered, and that they had tried several companies. My hunch was that any diet plan would work, if I stuck to it. After online searches and conversations with friends, I decided to compare the offerings of four companies: Zone Manhattan, Chefs Diet, Nu-Kitchen and eDiets. All four would deliver the meals to my door in Brooklyn.
Consumers are trading down to do-it-yourself diets with foods or supplements from the supermarket,” said Marcia Mogelonsky, a global food and drink analyst for Mintel, a Chicago company.
Nu-Kitchen bills itself as the ultimate personal chef and meal delivery company.” The meals looked like institutional fare and their taste was disappointing. (I later learned that the founders of Nu-Kitchen sold it in 2008 to Nutrisystem, the national diet food company.)
At dinner, a glue-like stuffing (alongside tasty turkey breast) was equally dismaying. I neither lost nor gained weight on the Nu-Kitchen food. EDiets promises healthy, delicious meals delivered to your door” and allows you to choose menu items on its Web site. Four days after I placed my order, FedEx delivered a large box containing five breakfasts, five lunches and five dinners.
Zone Manhattan was $349.80, with tax, for a week's supply of food, or about $44 a day — three meals and two snacks delivered to my door by 5 a.m. each day.
A company nutritionist satisfied me on both counts. Substituting other foods for pork wasn't a problem. The meals are based on the Zone Diet, which calls for consumption of carbs, protein and fat in a 40:30:30 ratio, a diet popularized by Barry Sears, who wrote the first in his series of Zone diet books in 1995.
Zone Manhattan was my hands-down favorite. Both Nu-Kitchen and eDiets, which operate nationally, listed every ingredient. Chefs Diet did not.
