AD| Lose weight quickly and easily with Dietbon diet meals

Loosing weight can be a struggle. It’s something I know first hand and all too well. I realised back in 2017 that I needed to lose weight. The problem however, was finding the motivation and time to do so.

I did eventually manage to lose two stone and I felt great. This was done via a combination of dieting and exercise. What I’ve found since loosing the weight, is that maintaining it can be even trickier than losing it in the first place.

I have my off days, sometimes ‘off weeks’ where I know I should be eating better than I am. This often in results in gaining weight. I’ve found this particularly true in the run up to Christmas and of course over the Christmas and new year period.

It’s all too tempting at this time of year to have one more biscuit, one more slice of cheese etc, but it all adds up!

I wanted to get back to my pre-Christmas weight of just under 10st. I didn’t have much to lose, but I knew that by loosing those few extra pounds, I’d feel better about myself.

That’s why I teamed up with Dietbon. Dietbon is a diet plan based on home-delivered diet meals. It even includes a super helpful telephone consultation with a dietitian.

What is Dietbon?

Dietbon makes dieting easy. They deliver your daily meals to your home. This includes breakfast, lunch, a snack and dinner for 6 days out of 7. The 7th day is a ‘free day’, which allows you to continue having a social life (eating with family, friends or corporate meals etc) and to organise the meals for this day yourself in order to relearn how to follow a balanced diet.

I really like the idea of this. A lot of diets have ‘cheat days’ where you can perhaps treat yourself to a takeaway, but with Dietbon, this ‘free day’ is about continuing to eat well. It’s a great way to teach yourself what you should be eating as it makes you more aware of what’s healthy and nutritious.

Dietbon meals are gourmet, varied and balanced. They’re also portion and calorie controlled so this takes away any added stress of having to calorie count yourself whilst you get used to how it works. It also allows you to loose up to 8lbs per month.

What I really like about Dietbon is that the meals contain 100% natural ingredients, no additives, preservatives or artificial colourings. There are also no GM ingredients, artificial sweeteners or palm oil.

My Dietbon Meals

I chose the following meals for my six days:

• Chicken and vegetable cous cous
• Chicken and vegetable minestrone style soup
• Basque chicken with pasta spirals
• Creamy vegetarian carrot and coconut soup
• Whole meal salad: Mini farfalle with chicken and sundried tomatoes
• Chicken tikka massala with rice and quinoa
• Roast chicken fillet with mashed potatoes
• Sauteed pork with diced vegetables and bacon
• Salmon with vegetable and grains and a soya sauce
• Conchiglie (pasta) with pacific salmon and spinach
• Ravioli stuffed with goat’s cheese pesto with a tomato and tofu sauce
• Organic crispy muesli with super fruits for breakfast
• Mini lemon cakes for snack
• Chocolate pudding for dessert

Also included is 28 days of detox tea (morning and night).

My experience

Unlike other home delivered diet programmes which do not give you a choice of meals, Dietbon lets you freely choose the dishes, breakfasts and snacks you want. They have over 60 dishes for lunch and dinner with no forbidden foods.

You just choose 7 breakfasts, 7 snacks and 7 desserts. The meals do not need to be stored in the fridge. A cupboard at room temperature will do. All you need to do is heat them for two minutes in the microwave. Quick and easy! Perfect for busy people!

Before my meals were delivered I received a telephone call with a dietitian. I found this really helpful as I was able to talk about my current diet and together we looked at ways we could improve this.

The dietary support on offer from Dietbon also includes an online group meeting led by a dietitian once a week, as well as monthly dietitian telephone consultations. I don’t know of any other diet programmes that offer this level of support. I think it’s superb!

In addition, you’ll also receive an 84-page guide “My Dietbon guide to success” delivered with your order.

I will admit I found the thought of not refrigerating the meals a little daunting, but I needn’t have worried as I enjoyed every meal.

My favourites were the chicken and vegetable minestrone style soup and the whole meal salad farfalle chicken with dried tomatoes and parmesan.

The soup was flavoursome and filling, plus the pasta included was delicious. The whole meal salad was also bursting with flavour and again, very filling.

As the meals are like normal home cooked meals, it really didn’t feel like I was on a diet, especially when I could snack on a lemon cake too! Those little cakes are delicious! I had to hide them from my husband and kids!

The only thing I will say, which is something the dietitian also suggested, is to add some extra vegetables to your meals and ensure you’re also eating fruit.

The results

I received 6 days worth of Dietbon meals and snacks. I started the week weighing 10st3 and by the end of the 6 days, I’d lost 3lbs. I’m very pleased with this result!

It really didn’t feel like I was on a diet at all. The meals were tasty and filling and I really would recommend Dietbon.

I like that the meals took just 2 minutes in the microwave. It meant I didn’t have to mess around with preparing anything in advance.
