Shipping
Diet-to-Go is a MEAL

your meals are shipped until you tell us to stop. If you
only want a specific number of weeks, then please indicate your
desire in the special instructions field of the order form.
You may also call and / or email us to state your desire.
Your
food for an entire week will be shipped on the first Monday or Tuesday after
you place your order. You should receive it in 2 to 3 days after
that. The process will repeat itself until your inform us to
do otherwise.
The meals are packed in dry ice, and shipped in a styro-foam
cooler. If you live east of the Mississippi, your meals will be
shipped from our spotless kitchen in Northern Virginia. If you
live west of the Mississippi River, including Alaska and Hawaii,
your meals will be shipped from our strategic partner location in
California. If you live outside of the U.S., due to certain
shipping restrictions, we are not able to ship to you at this
time. If you live in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, you may
also pick up your meals fresh at one of our many convenient Diet-to-Go
pick up locations.

The holiday season can bring many food challenges when it comes to sticking with your healthy eating regime. Follow these holiday tips to avoid any unwanted weight gain this holiday season.
Healthy Holiday Eating Tips:
1. Plan ahead
- Identify parties or activities that may challenging
- Brainstorm to develop strategies for potential “food challenging situations.”
- Put some calories “in the bank” and make a plan of what you'll have at the party
2. Avoid overeating
- Try not to arrive “starving.” In general, people tend to eat more when overly hungry. Consider a soup or hot drink before you arrive.
- Get enough sleep. Studies show we eat more when we are tired.
- Bring a dish you feel comfortable eating.
- Fill up on fewer calorie foods. Consider covering your plate with veggies, fruit, lean meats, poultry, fish, and whole grains.
- Avoid foods you think may be problematic for you to choose alternative substitutes.
3. Focus on “eating awareness” techniques
- Try to be fully present while you are eating-“savor the flavor” of your favorite food.
- “Eat the best, save the rest.” Review your options before you get started and make sure to include your favorite foods: pass on those you care least about or can have anytime.
- Think about positioning yourself away from the food; “out of sight out of mind” might work to your advantage!
4. The alcohol factor
- Be aware that alcohol adds empty calories, decreases your resolve and increases your appetite.
- If you plan to drink, allocate the number and budget your calories accordingly.
5. Keep on moving!
- Exercise is a helpful tool to balance calories and relieve stress.
- Consider a walk after dinner.
6. Maintenance is success
- Trying to lose during the holidays may be setting you up to fail.
Remember the holiday season comes once a year; do your best.
Happy Holidays! |
