Our Low-Carb plan is similar to most "Atkins-style" low-carb plans. This means it includes meat (beef, poultry, pork), seafood, eggs and cheese and provides an average of 30 net carbs per day. A big difference in the Diet-to-Go Low-Carb plan versus most others is the amount of vegetables included in our meals. We do our utmost to see that our meals provide proper nutrition and vegetables are a primary source of essential vitamins and minerals. Please read the nutritional information before deciding if Low-Carb is the right plan for you, as it is a major lifestyle change for many.

Diet-to-Go is designed to be flexible and fit within most budgets. In fact, many of our customers end up spending less money than they are spending now, especially if they are dining out often. Unlike many other programs, with Diet-to-Go there is no long term commitment or hidden fees. You can choose the number of meals you receive per week and frequency of your orders. Our average cost per meal is under $7 when on the full plan. Considering the expense of eating out and/or grocery shopping Diet-to-Go is quite economical.

If you pick up locally, you will do so each Tuesday and Friday after 5pm. All weekly orders for mail order Customers are shipped each Monday or Tuesday, and will arrive within 1-4 days depending on your location. FedEx or UPS tracking information is provided via email weekly.

Our Traditional and Vegetarian low-fat meals are comprised of 50% carbs, 25% protein and 25% fat. They are low in calories, cholesterol, fat and sodium but high in fiber and taste. Because our low-fat meals are not ‘calorie dense’ we are able to provide larger quantities of filling, satisfying, delicious food. We have found that by using fresh and locally-provided ingredients, we are able to serve meals that are well balanced and nutritious as well as great tasting and satisfying.

Please note that the calorie counts on the low-fat plan (1200 and 1600) are based on weekly averages. Our plans are designed to provide an average calorie level for the week, not an exact number per day.

We cannot re-use meal containers but they are accepted at most recycling centers coast-to-coast.
