Diet Delivery

Diet Delivery (incorporating The Specialty Gourmet service) delivers diet meals in Canada, currently only in areas of Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary. This is a versatile provider of gourmet meals for diet plans including The Zone, Atkins, CarbLogic, Body-for-LIFE and Healthy Living.

How Diet Delivery programs work

Choose your own meals or allow selections to made for you from an extensive 28 day menu cycle. Hot and cold options are available for each day. Every night between 10 pm and 6 am, an insulated cooler is delivered to you with the following day's gourmet meals and snacks. The provider offers these plans:

Standard Service features the Zone plan, purchased in 14 or 28 day blocks, continuing when you request. Choose a 5, 6, or 7 day per week delivery plan. Full Zone daily programs range from 13 to 16 Zone blocks (see The Zone Diet website for an explanation of Zone blocks).

Premium Service offers meals for diet plans The Zone, Atkins, Healthy Living, CarbControl (or CarbLogic), and Body-for-life, as well as A La Carte meals and Family Dinners. Purchase any number of days at a time (minimum 10 days), and receive delivery any number of days per week. Full Zone daily programs range from 13 to 22 Zone blocks.

Specific Diets

• Zone plan meals comprise 40% carbohydrates, 30% lean protein and 30% fat. Carbs come primarily from low glycemic fruits and vegetables; starchy carbs are generally avoided. This plan is also used as Atkins Maintenance phase.
• The Atkins plan follows the Atkins® Induction phase. The first of a four phase diet program, the induction stage uses extreme reduction in carbohydrate intake, resulting in fast weight loss. Two weeks is the minimum suggested length for this phase or plan, and after 4 to 6 weeks most clients change to CarbLogic.
• Healthy Living Diet is for a generally healthier lifestyle and to fight heart disease, following Canada's Food Guide for Healthy Eating. Designed to reduce fat and sodium intake, and ideal for optimum cardiovascular health. The daily plan ranges from 1200 - 2300 calories with four meal sizes.
• CarbLogic or CarbControl suits those who find the Atkins® Induction phase too restrictive, or who are ready for the Atkins® Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) phase. CarbControl plans have 2 meal sizes.
• Body-for-LIFE is similar to the Zone with a caloric makeup of 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 30% dietary fat, but allows for more starchy carbs.
