We today have launched a range of GI oat based biscuits that taste fantastic and I am sure will be a great alternative to the other snacks that we currently offer.

Over the last 3-6 months we have worked incredibly hard to get new products that meet the nutritional guidelines of the Diet Chef diet.

In addition, we are launching a new variety of granola - Pink Apple and Cinnamon from today.

Hopefully this will ensure that as we go into 2009 the Diet Chef diet is even easier to stick to as greater variety gives everyone more choice.

Happy Xmas and a slimmer New Year to all our lovely customers.

We have introduced a hearty warming soup today - Chorizo and Bean. Delicious as the weather gets a little colder it has lovely chunks of Chorizo to add a little light spice to this bean soup.

161kcal per 300g portion

We have launched another dish today - a delicious creamy Chicken Curry - a good combination of herbs and spices but not too hot!

In addition we are launching another soup in the next 2-3 weeks so check back on the website for further details

We have now added a new cereal to our range - Lime and Ginger. Everyone knows that Ginger is a great ingredient to speed up your metabolism which can help burn fat.

This will only be part of the customised hamper so you can add this and try it with your next order.

Hi Diet Chef

Is there any more news on the new meals that are to be released this month, what ones are they ?

Lesley C

Drizzly and chillier weather seem to be the main feature of the current weather forecast, so we thought it would be a great idea to bring in some new soups for Autumn to keep you cosy and warm

We are launching 3 NEW soups today, and planning more meals for next month.

Here they are:

 Free Range Chicken and Thyme Soup

Mushroom Soup

 English Tomato with Pesto

We are always asked about variety - it is worth noting that many of our more expensive competitors have much more limited choice than us!

We currently have 28 different meal option, where our next competitor has only 18!!

Also make sure that you are getting a minimum of 4 meal items per day - many of our competitors have reduced the amount of food they supply on their “programme” but keep the price the same - what a cheek!!

Choose your meals FREE

This has been so popular with our customers that to help make every pound go further we are keeping the customisation FREE until further notice that saves £4.95 per week!  We are also currently redesigning the meal choice page to make it easier to use. You shouldn’t have to buy in 1,2 or 4 week durations any more.

So many product options have been introduced over the last month or so, that we have decided to celebrate (except in the hamper packing department!). For a limited time, we are offering totally FREE customisation on ALL our products.

That means that you can go online and choose the meals, snacks and breakfasts that you really want and we are waiving the usual £4.95 customisation charge. WOW!!

This offer is time limited and also only available online through our website on http://www.dietchef.co.uk

We have also slightly changed the standard menu to include the Tomato and Vegetable Pasta as we have had rave reviews by our vegetarian customers, we thought that everyone should try it! Also we have changed the standard menu to include Beef Casserole.

We are updating the breakfast options at Diet Chef this week.

Lots of customers don’t have scales to measure the portion of cereal - so we have made cute little portion packs of the cereal - exactly 50g so no more measuring or weighing at breakfast time.The portion packs also keep things so much fresher.

If that isn’t enough we have added 2 more varieties of cereal for you to try.Chocolate Crunch Granola (lovely Belgium chocolate clusters) and Treacle and Pecan Crunch (just a hint of Treacle to add to the flavour).

We plan to send 5 Original Granola, 1 Chocolate and 1 Treacle and Pecan out with every weeks supply from now on.If you want a particular variety all week - then just use the “Choose your meals” feature where we have added the cereals to the list of meals that you can customise. 

We have now launched our vegetarian diet, we have spent the last few months developing a number of new vegetarian dishes - and there is more to come over the coming months.

Initially we are adding 2 new vegetarian dishes to our menu (these will also be available to meat eaters!). 

Three Bean Chilli - a hearty bean chilli that has had fantastic reviews from everyone in the Diet Chef team including Clare, our own vegetarian team member (thanks Clare!).

Tomato and Vegetable Pasta - a rich tomato and vegetable sauce covering tasty penne pasta.We plan to add some additional dishes over the next few months so keep checking the website for more details.

Hi everyone,

Hope you all having a good week.

Just thought I’d let you know I had the vanilla milk shake for lunch today and it’s LUSH.

Good luck for your weigh-in’s this week.

Stay positive! Heather
