Diet Gourmet is "Slow Food" disguised as "Fast Food"
|
The Italian premise is that good food needs time. We cook our food in a kitchen not in a factory. Skilled chefs cook our food not machines. Most everything is cooked from scratch, including our breads, chicken stocks, dressings and sauces. We are a home cooked meal. Not a TV dinner. We are sensitive about this.
On creating a menu, we of course make all of our meals low-fat, low-cholesterol, sodium-controlled and nutritionally complete. Each meal is designed to conform to or exceed the nutritional guidelines established by the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Association and the American Dietetic Association. All of our recipes are nutritionally analyzed and approved by our registered dietitian.
Whether a dish is healthy for you depends on your individual health requirements** - however, we use the latest scientific findings about food and nutrition to create a diet that will most likely improve the way you have been eating and therefore improve your overall health and long term well being.
Diet Gourmet meals are made from the highest-quality ingredients, using all *all natural chicken, organic milk, in most cases, and organically grown grains when cost allows. We use minimal natural sweeteners and cold-pressed canola and olive oils (no trans fat or hydrogenated fat). We use only wholesome foods without added chemicals, synthetic preservatives, fillers, MSG or artificial colors as much as possible.* We're talking fresh, received fresh, and guaranteed fresh, cooked from scratch-not frozen or freeze-dried and elegantly presented by our experienced chefs.
We strive to be a great service and source for homemade gourmet meals not only for people trying to lose weight, but for busy health-minded individuals as well.
Putting all together
We offer flexible meal plans using a five week rotating menu with plenty of choices and variety to fill your fridge with. Your only task is deciding what to order! Really! We mean it. Although we work best as a three meal a day plan, you may choose the meals that best fit your lifestyle. You do not have to pay a fee to join or have a minimum order to enjoy our service. Meals are picked up or delivered (for a fee) twice a week, on Monday for four days of food and on Friday for three days of food.
The easiest way to order is on-line.
1. Click on "order on line" and sign up 48 hours prior to a Monday or Friday. Choose pick up or delivery and then click on the date you want an order. Displayed will be the items we will be preparing for that date.
2. Mix and match any number or combination of meals at the calorie level or levels you desire(1,100 or 1,700). It works best if you order all three meals a day, but that is your choice.
3. Relax and enjoy your tasty food.
Diet Gourmet is recommended by medical professionals and is a great solution for busy professionals, heart patients, cancer patients, diabetics, moms-to-be, shut-ins, body builders, individuals interested in weight loss and out patients recovering from surgery, anyone who can't or is too busy to cook. | **We can work with you to create a menu from the meals we prepare to meet your individual heath needs.
*We say “as much as possible” because, on one occasion, a purveyor of ours did not let us know that they used MSG.
