Pre-made delivery service - anyone tried them?

[scaredandalone]

I'm thinking of trying a pre made delivery service for foods. To just take away any 'working out' at the moment with foods. I am feeling very overwhelmed with my diabetes, and other health conditions, and life In general. Has anyone tried any of them?

Thanks

Hi @scaredandalone. Welcome to the Forum, and, you have come to an excellent place to get armed with knowledge, and share your experiences. You are absolutely, in the world wide web - not alone!

I can't share particular readymade meals companies with you, but I can leave that to your fellow Britishers? (Assuming that's where you are.) (or you might need to say?)

But I can share an up close and personal experience of my own with dealing with readymade meals for my mother when she was living, somewhat, lol, independently.

The company that my mother liked best, vis a vis the particular food, started doing lower carb versions, and my life changed when I went to hers to spend time with her and help look after her. (her retirement unit did not have an oven, but a couple of stove-top burners, and, the all-important microwave.)

In the lower carb versions I still took off the ever-present potatoe dish, and other higher carb food (but less of than the standard meals), and then of course I needed two of them to fill me up. So - it depends on your appetite? But they were tasty and nutritious, and did not raise my blood glucose out of range if I took out any obvious higher carb food.

I was a fan of readymade meals before I was diagnosed, as I am not really a great home cooking cook, although that should be 'was not'? Not sure! So the advent of 'keto friendly' and 'low carb' readymade meals is a wonderful additon to our lifestyle choices, as it is called. The lifestyle is also, majorly, the cost of them. But if you can afford it - I think them a marvellous thing. Just find the companies with lower carb versions of the kind of fare you like?

ps - the delivery service part, ordering online, the standard of delivery, was always excellent with all 3 of the services I used for my mother. I think, to be competitive - they have to be! But online reviews are of course worth their weight in gold, these days.

I tried keto kitchen Lytham for a few weeks when I had some issues at home, the meals are proper homemade and definitely keto, very tasty but a bit small as they are calorie counted too, but I used to add veggies and sometimes a bit more fat and sometimes a low carb roll from another company.

Your not tied into them so you give them a try for a week I think they do a 5 day or 7 day and you can have breakfast, lunch dinner, or just lunch and dinner which is what I did and did my own breakfasts
