National Fresh Food Home Delivery Service rolled out On Jan. 5, 2006.

eDiets.com entered the diet food home delivery market in early 2006 with the launch of what used to be called FreshCuisine(TM), then later named eDiets Express, a chef-prepared fresh food delivery service offering 400+ menu items. Now it's called Deliciously Yours. Apparently, the previous plan, which was priced at $700-1,100 per 28-day cycle, was not very successful. So eDiets made changes and lowered the price to $15.95/day, or about $450/month.

According to eDiets, unlike other plans that rely on frozen, canned or powdered foods, Deliciously Yours guarantees freshness, since foods are not prepared until customers order them. The service is available throughout the continental U.S., and meals can be delivered to the home, office or a hotel.

This service provides three complete meals a day, customized to your food preferences and diet needs. Meals are developed and prepared by top chefs who are graduates of the Culinary Institute of America and worked at upscale restaurants nationwide.

Deliciously Yours guarantees a full 14-day shelf life from the day of receipt when the product is kept chilled in a refrigerator.

Registered dietitians and nutritionists are available by phone and online to provide counseling about customers' needs related to health issues such as diabetes and weight loss. They are available, toll-free, Monday-Friday 8 am - 10 pm EST and 9 am to 9 pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

At the DeliciouslyYours.com website, you complete a profile to determine your health conditions, weight loss goals and preferences. After that's completed, chefs prepare meals and shop them to your home. The plan fits requirements for low sodium, low fat, low cholesterol, carb-controlled, and heart smart diets. The plan is based on 1200 calories per day. If a person needs more than that, a list of recommended snacks is provided to increase the calorie level.
