Zone Chefs

Quick Summary

Based on the popular eating plan developed by Barry Sears (the Zone Diet) and made famous by celebs like Jennifer Aniston and Cindy Crawford, this system delivers meals that give you 40 percent of your daily calories from carbs, 30 percent from protein, and 30 percent from good fats.

The ZoneChefs web site allows you to view sample menus before ordering which is very convenient for first time customers. Once you order, you get a month’s worth of fresh food via express mail. The freshly prepared foods are in clearly labeled individual plastic containers and are put inside a large Styrofoam cooler with many ice packs.

Interesting Tidbits

  • Zone Chefs meals may be delivered weekly, bimonthly or monthly
  • All meals adhere to Zone Diet ratios
  • Consumers may choose from three different programs: Frozone, Optimum Results, and Zone Lifestyle

Pros and Cons

Pros: Great menu choices and sophisticated food flavors. Much tastier than competitor meal plans. Freshly prepared and gourmet like entrees.

Cons: Fairly expensive at approximately $50 per day. Less expensive plans from Zone Chefs are still over $30 per day. Unless you are committed to spending a lot of money, Nutrisystem or Medifast may be a better alternative. While the food doesn’t taste as good, the overall weight loss is comparable.
