Diet At Your Doorstep's
Frequently Asked Questions
How does
your delivery process work?
Every night, Sunday through Thursday, there will be a cooler
containing 5 wonderful meals, a menu, and ice packs left at
your doorstep; no bell will be rung.
The foods should be kept cooled using the supplied ice pack
or refrigeration, and may be re-heated as appropriate. We
advise keeping the cooler bag of food with you if you plan
on being away from home for more than one hour of the day.
Please leave the cooler bag outside your door each evening
by 6:00 p.m. so that we may deliver a fresh bag of food in
exchange for the empty cooler bag.
What happens if you are out of town for a day or two during
one of the weeks?
If you
plan on being away temporarily, please notify us with at
least 3 days, and your service be placed on hold. The days
that you are out will be added to the remaining period of
your contract.

Do you
have the ability to exclude certain foods due to either
allergies or dislike?
We work
with your food allergies and dislikes. When we prepare your
meals, we substitute the item that you can not eat with
another vegetable or protein.
I only
eat seafood and tofu. Can you prepare a diet that suits my
needs?
We
individualize our program based on our clients health needs.
We take into account your specific dietary goals as well as
your food allergies, likes and dislikes. More specifically,
for vegetarians, we provide meals free of red meat, or
poultry products. In our experience working with
vegetarians, we found that adding one serving of fish or
seafood per day assists with the weight loss and provides
for more variety of the meals. However, we can provide a
total vegetarian program at an additional fee.*
What is
the nutritional philosophy behind the weight loss? Is it low
sugar, low carbohydrates, portion control etc?
Our
program is based a
30-30-40
combination of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. We to
follow the tenants of the diet written by Dr. Barry Sears.
The concept of eating 5-6 small, well balanced meals has
been around for least 50 years, and used by body builders
such as Charles Atlas. Our program is not specifically a low
carbohydrate program, but a modified carbohydrate intake,
where we control the portion size and the amount of calories
consumed.
Can you
provide meals that are Gluten Free, specifically for people
with Celiac disease?
Yes, we have several clients with this illness.*
I am
current under physicians carte for Diverticulitis. What type
of program do you offer?
Yes, we will prepare nut and seed free diets, peel tomatoes
and other vegetables.*
Can you
provide me with a menu selection?
Because our meals are cooked fresh daily, menu selections
are difficult. We do not freeze meals, everything is
prepared in the morning and delivered at night for your next
days enjoyment. We found that offering menu choices forced
us to freeze meals and that is against Chef Mario's
philosophy.
