My friend and I are thinking of doing this after doing W8. I am confused by what I have read here though. Are the meals nutrionally balanced? Do diet chef actually produce them as an overall package or, as I get the impression, they are a hodge podge of different diet foods on the market?
Also I need to know more about actual weight losses, and do you need to drink loads of water as on a VLCD.
Cheers
Its all sent to you in a box you choose your brekkie, lunch and dinner and you can add mainly anything you like to the meals as long as you dont go over the 1200 calorie limit (for women) .
I do it and still have snacks, pieces of fruit for instance yesterday I had porridge, soup with a slice of bread and curry, I added a banana, rice and even 2 poppadums and still came in under the calories. I was stuffed and no room for anything else but i could of had some more I had the calories.
i dont drink as much water as I did on the Cambridge, but I do make sure I have at least 2 pints of fluids, but that does include cans (take into account the calories Zero is a good one), teas and decaff coffee with sweetener. So I can easily drink over the recommended 1 litre without touching a glass of water on its own. Which to me is a blessing as I struggled with the water intake on CD.
Hope this answers any questions you may have.
For me Diet Chef is my diet.
If you go to the Diet chef forum you will see the losses, we have people losing upto 7lbs in 1 week, the weight loss slows down but most people hit the stone a month and mostly exceed it, if they do it 100%. I have only started and I have lost 7lbs in one week, and hoping for another loss this week.
Good luck in whatever you choose.
