diet to go

my name is christine marquette and i'm a registereddietitian with the austin regional clinic, and i'm going to talk to you about vegetariandiet delivery programs. these particular service programs, the main ones that offer vegetarianoptions would be nutri-systems, diet to go, and chef's diet. nutri-systems actually advertisesthemselves as being the major diet delivery service program that offers pre-packaged vegetarianoptions. by pre-packaged they mean they have

diet to go, sixty different options available that arecomplete meals, such as vegetarian chili, vegetarian lasagna, breakfast items such aswaffles as well as desert items. and again, they have a variety of sixty different optionsto choose from. diet to go also has a variety of vegetarian options, and they advertisetheirs as being lacto-ovo, meaning they could

have dairy products and they might have eggsin them as well. these particular meals are actually prepared meals that are not necessarilypre-packaged, meaning it's more of a home cooked type meal. and you have a variety ofoptions to choose from. theirs range anywhere from ten to twenty dollars, depending on howmany meals you choose. whether you choose two meals a day, or three meals a day, ormeals plus snacks. the cost will vary. they do offer incentives such as free meals....ordiscounts based on the number of meals that you purchase. chef's diet is another programthat offers vegetarian options, but it's based on doctor sear's zone diet, meaning that it'sforty percent carbohydrate, thirty percent protein and thirty percent fat. and again,with the vegetarian options, to have that

much fat it's going to include a lot of thingslike nuts and seeds as well as avocado as...as a main source of fat. but they do have thatoption as well. and similar to the other programs, a variety of costs depending on how many mealsyou choose to purchase. so those are three of the major diet delivery service programsthat offer vegetarian options.
