Diet Chef was exactly what I needed to…

Diet Chef was exactly what I needed to start my weight loss. I was so stressed and mentally/physically sick, I couldn’t face cooking. The pre-delivered meals took away the need to make decisions, and investing a substantial amount on a monthly food order took away the temptation to buy anything else. The quality of the food I found to be consistent, and no issues with order accuracy. The only drawback I found was the carbohydrate/sugar content in the meals. My body just doesn’t do well on carbs; I tried to pick the highest protein and lowest carb options, but this was a struggle, particularly for the breakfasts. Nonetheless it was a fantastic kick-start to get me well enough to get my mental clarity back. I did Diet Chef for a total of 6 months (ended August 2025) and lost 3 stone in that time. Now having come off the program I’ve lost 4.5 stone and I’m almost at my goal weight. Thank you to the Diet Chef team.

Hi Lucy,

Congratulations on your fantastic weight loss!

Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that the convenience of the pre-prepared meals helped take away the stress of cooking and decision-making during a difficult time, and that you found the quality and order accuracy consistent throughout.

We’re sorry to hear that the carbohydrate and sugar content did not fully suit your dietary preferences. All nutritional information is clearly detailed on our website and on meal packaging, allowing customers to make informed choices and select meals that best fit their individual needs.

It’s wonderful to hear that Diet Chef was a helpful kick-start to your journey, and we wish you every success as you continue towards your goal weight.

Last year when I went for a vacation in the UK, Diet Chef was recommended for me because I needed to continue my gluten-free diet even while on vacation. Their meal helped me keep true to my diet goals and ambitions.

Honest feedback

I will provide honest feedback. I run my own company and my professional background is in business strategy and change. I am happy to support you.

The meals are very nice.

The things I was not happy with:
Product shelf life of Pancake mix - June 2026
Chilli con carne - this is a dinner not just mince - t should be with rice
Your marketing is misleading - when you look at 'Choose a Plan', you refer to '1 month' etc, but the plans are 28 days - this is mis-aligned.

We do our best to be as transparent as possible, and if you ever have any questions or would like anything clarified, our member support team is always available to help at info@dietchef.co.uk.

Hi Caroline,

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed that your meals did not include accompaniments such as rice.

Our meals are designed as balanced main dishes to support a healthy weight loss of 1-2lbs per week. While some of our mains do come with rice, we do recommend adding fruit, vegetables, and dairy where needed to compliment the meals.

If you would like any support with choosing meals that better suit your preferences, our member support team is available at info@dietchef.co.uk.

Once it arrived

Once it arrived, after delays, why ask for a delivery day, which I opted for almost a week after putting in my order, as I knew I would be in. But no, maybe next day or the day after. Not a good start. The jury is out on the meals at the moment.
