What is diet catering and how does it work?

A rational diet, in addition to maintaining normal body weight, also protects against the occurrence of diet-related diseases, such as type II diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, hypertension. However, our lifestyle does not always allow us to prepare a meal from scratch on our own. Then, diet catering, the so-called "box diet", comes to our aid. This is a specially prepared set of meals by nutritionists, which are delivered to the client's home.

The diet is composed according to the individual needs and expectations of the client. A dietician conducts a dietary interview with the client, during which they find out about his or her taste preferences, allergies or diseases.  Based on the information obtained, a set of 5 dietetic meals is arranged, which are then delivered to the client's home or work. Diet catering is a perfect solution for busy people who have no time to count calories or prepare nutritious meals.

The services of diet catering and nutritionist can be used by anyone whose goal is not only to lose weight, but also to eat healthy. A nutritionist also prepares individually prepared diets for people suffering from allergies, food intolerances or other diseases of the digestive and circulatory systems. The offer also includes a special nutritional programme for athletes and pregnant women. A dietician is at the client's disposal at any time, assessing initial body mass, calculating individual energy requirements and helping to select a diet. A properly selected diet does not lead to the yo-yo effect. In addition, the nutritionist works together with the client on motivation and the formation of proper eating habits.

How does the diet look like?

A diet consists of 5 balanced meals with a specific calorie count, adjusted individually to the client (1200, 1500, 1800, 2000 kcal). In the catering offer you can also find special diets such as: diet for active people, pregnant and breastfeeding women, vegetarians, vegans and diet for food allergies and intolerances (gluten-free and dairy-free diet).
