Success Stories

"I was a little wary about diet chef but decided to give it a go. Was hugely surprised by the sheer amount that came 4 boxes. Had my first week and i lost 21 pounds i was amazed! Just started my second week now. Really pleased with the variety you get and the food tastes great. At last a diet i don't have to count calories or fat or be restricted on stuff. It's made a dramatic difference to weight loss. THANK YOU!"

Lisa, 31, Cannock. 20 Jul 2010 2:19pm

"I began Diet Chef 3 weeks ago now, after having tried pretty much everything. I have never had a healthy relationship with food, leading to a diagnosis of compulsive eating disorder a few years ago. I had been working with a therapist to work out why I ate, and the next step once I had worked through much of it was to start working on losing the weight I had gained over the many years of having this problem whilst working through any further issues that came up. I began my journey at 17st 2lbs, and now, after just 3 weeks I am at 16st6lbs. I am really pleased with my 10lb loss in such a short time, but the great thing is I am getting my zest for life back, and am enjoying exercise - and food (not just using it to block out my emotions). I knew I needed a plan that did all the weighing and measuring for me, as part of my problem was definitely down to not feeling I deserved to spend my time and effort on myself weighing and measuring, and planning foods when on other diets - so the fact it is all done for me already, with plenty of variety - and is tasty and enjoyable is really helping me to gain a much healthier relationship to food. I am really looking forward to my next hamper of goodies, and thank you for providing such a brilliant plan. I am getting married in a few years time, and I am determined not to have any issues with food, and be a size 14 when I get married - but I don't want it to have been a last minute crash diet - I want to have had my eating under control for some time before it. Now, thanks to DietChef, I think I may well have found the way to do that."

Rosemary, 35, Chelmsford. 19 Jul 2010 9:22am

"Both myself and my partner started eating the Diet Chef meals on 28th June, we are just over 2 weeks into our new eating regime and pleased to announce we have both lost weight weekly. I am currently 7lbs lighter and my partner is 9lbs lighter thanks to Diet Chef. Over the years we've both tried the various diets out there, Slimming World, the Cambridge Diet etc and just recently i had sessions of hypnotherapy to try to find a solution to my ever increasing appetite and waistline. I have to be honest Diet Chef does exactly what it says on the tin, the meals taste great and there's such a wide choice of meals to choose from. We are both delighted we decided to try Diet Chef as the results have been amazing. "

keith west, 44, Cheltenham. 17 Jul 2010 1:25pm

"I have been on diet chef since the end of january and have lost just under the 3 stone with another stone to go. I like the food but during the summer I prefer to have the shakes but have been so disappointed that the banana shakes have been discontinued as I am not liking the other shakes so much."

wendy, 67, Andover. 14 Jul 2010 1:25pm

"Started Diet Chef 10 days ago was a bit wary at first but food is good, shakes are great poured over ice and snack bars = that little sweet something after a meal. Lost 9lbs in first week unbelievable most i have ever lost on first week of any diet. If undecided I say give it a go !"

Susan Welburn, 55, Stockton. 12 Jul 2010 10:17pm

"Hi just thought I'd write as I'm in my second week of the diet and doing really well. When the hampers arrived I really didn't think I could survive on the food as there didn't seem to be much and I have a big appetite. Anyway onwards I went and I have to say that I have never been hungry and I'm amazed! It works really well for me I've lost 9lbs in 9 days! It great knowing exactly what you can eat and not having to wait for ages for it to cook, or having to weigh things out. I'm sticking to it and I'll let you know how I get on. I've got a long way to go but for the 1st time in my life I think I might actually be able to stick with this."

Sharron, 48, Ramsgate, Kent. 12 Jul 2010 2:36pm

"I have just started Dietchef and been on it for a week and have managed to lose 7lbs! I am so very excited about this diet and just love it. I am for the first time in years beginning to feel slim and gorgeous again!!!! The food is so delicious and it is so easy to follow.I am amazed because I never feel hungry either! Family members and friends have all comented on my weight loss. I thank you from the very bottom of my heart Dietchef! Hugs and kisses. Angela"

Angela Irvine, 40, Edinburgh. 2 Jul 2010 10:17pm

"I have just completed my first week with Diet Chef and i am amazed at the results i have lost ^6lbs in one week and only wish i found this diet months ago that way i would not have spent money on tablets and all other things i tried. I love planning my weekly food menu and half my office are intrested in trying this. Roll on 2nd 3rd and 4th weeks."

Rachel Nickels, 35, Basildon. 29 Jun 2010 5:22pm

"I have struggled with my weight for 15 years & tried various diets, all work for a while but are very slow & results don't come very quick. I started Diet Chef 7 weeks ago & I have already lost 2 stone. I have found Diet Chef so easy, all the hard work is done for you. I never feel the need for the odd chocolate bar, I'm not saying I could not eat one but I don't feel the need for one. Diet Chef makes sense of eating correctly so easy."

Kevin Nolan, 48, Malvern. 21 Jun 2010 11:17pm

"Hi an update on my diet between November and January I kept to the diet to the letter and lost 2stone 3lb I am up and down with 2lb I have recently been on holiday for 2 weeks pleased to say the morning I went away The scale was 13sts on my return 13st 1 lb which I am very pleased with. To day I was out with my sister met a friend I have not seen for some months and said I look fantastic Dietchef which I find great so easy to use . I am now trying to get back on track - plan to place my order in the next few days. Thank -you DIETCHEF I will be trying the new meals on my new order."

ray gill, pudsey leeds. 21 Jun 2010 5:53pm

"I signed up to Dietchef not to lose vast quantities of weight but to bring my waistline back under control having turned 30! I have been amazed by just how good the food is. I have also been surprised that I don't feel that hungry - a little bit (!) but I am now completely sold on a low GI approach. I plan to keep Dietchef food in the house permanently to stop me reaching for takeaways / calorific fast food when I can't face cooking."

Claire, 33, London. 20 Jun 2010 6:44pm

"I have tried a lot of diets but I was a bit cynical about yet another system. I needed to lose 2 stone, so I tried Diet Chef. The food is really good, I lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks and ate out 4 times. I find it easy, and tasty. I have enjoyed the food, it tastes great, and I don't have to think. I run a business, this is for me. It works. Thank you."

judy, 61, Tetney. 18 Jun 2010 10:26pm

"I started diet chef in January 2010 weighing 18.5st. I realised I needed to lose weight after not wanting to put any photos of me on Facebook!! Now, in June 2010, I weigh just under 12st. It really works and the food is tasty and easy to cook. I have the soup with toast at lunchtime. My wife prepares my veg, I microwave my meal and we all eat together as a family. The snacks and milkshakes keep me going in the evening. I would recommend Diet Chef to everyone. I am now at a good weight but am still using Diet Chef to keep my portion control steady. Also, I have finally put a new photo of myself on Facebook!!! Thanks Diet Chef. "

Sean Walter, 43, Nr Fort William. 17 Jun 2010 8:27am

"I am very overweight and need to lose weight if I am not to develop serious health problems. I have tried many diets but have always put the weight back on and lost slowly because of the difficulty of sticking to them. I started Diet Chef in May 2010 and love the ease of preparation and flavours.We eat out a lot so it is hard to stick to the diet. Even so I have lost 7lbs, and aim to continue with Diet chef until the weight is shifted. I have also been very impressed with the efficiency of your administration. Thank you"

Liz, 61, Worcester. 16 Jun 2010 11:36pm

"I lost 3 stone in 5 months on Diet Chef last year. Sooooo many people have commented and complimented me, and asked about how I did it. I was delighted to tell them all how great it was, how tasty and convenient the plan is, and how it was all so little effort! Several people have been inspired to follow Dirt Chef themselves- I'm delighted there is now a friends discount code so I can keep on reaping the benefits Diet Chef has given me. I've kept off the weight but I'm almost tempted to buy another hamper to taste all the new foods introduced since I stopped!"

Michelle Grist, 41, Windsor. 16 Jun 2010 4:28pm

"Been doing diet chef for almost two weeks and lost 8 pounds already. Have about a stone and a half of baby weight to shift and the meals are great for busy Mum's as you don't have to think about what you are preparing, it's all done for you! There is no denying as with any diet it takes hard work and determination but I'm confident I will reach my goal as the meals are tasty and with such variety you can always have something similar to the rest of the family so you don't feel your missing out so much. I'm surprised I don't feel really hungry as it's a big drop in the amount I would usually eat. "

shelley, 29, london. 15 Jun 2010 5:58pm

"I started Diet Chef in August 2008 and since then my life has dramatically changed! It gives you the opportunity to learn the amounts you should be eating and what types of food you should be eating in order to lose weight healthily. I bought the packages for a few months and that gave me the knowledge to by regular food and lose weight. I have lost 4stone so far without putting any on. I am now ordering another month because one more stone and I'll be my ideal weight! Thank you Diet Chef xx"

Vicky, 23, Brean. 13 Jun 2010 5:05pm

"i have done so many diets except this one. I have 3 stone to lose and struggling everyday. My problem is portion control. I have had one day on the diet so far and am feeling confident this is going to work! The meals are smaller than i am used to, so i plan to bulk with veg and salad. i have to say the food is delicious which is why i think i will stick to it!.. order one month so i kinda have to !...will keep you posted next week x x "

samantha marshall, 32, south wales. 11 Jun 2010 8:54am

"I'm so happy because in 15 days I burned 5kg! The food is amazing and I'm learning to eat smaller portions!"

W. Reis, 44, Luxembourg. 9 Jun 2010 8:39pm

"Thank you for helping me look 10 years younger! That's what my hubby says. 4 stone lighter I am enjoying walking, cycling and generally being fitter. I found having everything prepared a lot easier, cooking and shopping don't exist, apart from steaming veg each day it's a piece of cake. There are 4 of us friends doing this and between us we have lost over 10 stone. Not bad for something that's easier and cheaper than my usual cooking. My hubby lost a stone without trying as I have changed my habits. I am considering staying on Diet Chef during the week and going off it at weekends to maintain my weight. I would love to read stories of other peoples successful weight maintenance. Carol "

carol , 52, Bristol. 1 Jun 2010 4:48pm

"hi just a quick update i have lost 13lb in 4 weeks on diet chef and am well chuffed still loving the meals and snacks and look forward to losing more weight with my 2nd yummy hamper thanks diet chef"

jacqui, 41, scotland. 24 May 2010 11:42am

"i started diet chef in jan 2010 and i have lost 4 stone now and i feel great I have been on so many different diets in the past so was a bit unsure my weight has yo yoed most of my life but this diet is the best i have been on and enjoyed all the food and do not want to come off of it i will recomend to anyone thankyou so much to diet chef"

jayne gilbert, 50, whitton twickenham. 17 May 2010 9:39pm

"Eight weeks and two stone lighter, I can hardly believe it. I bought a new top at the weekend two sizes smaller - wow. If you doubt that Diet Chef works, then don't it is so simple anyone can do it. The hard work is done for you all you need to do is enjoy the tasty food! :>)"

Debs, 45, Mansfield. 4 May 2010 11:14am

"hi everyone i started diet chef on the 26th of april and so far i have lost 5lb and it doesnt even feel like i am on a diet the meals are fantastic so far there isnt 1 that i have tried and didnt like the only down side to this diet is what to choose for my breakfast diner and tea lol n"

jacqui, 41, scotland. 2 May 2010 3:33pm

"I only had around ten pounds to lose and wanted something to get me back on track with my portion control without feeling hungry. I ordered 4 weeks supply of diet chef and received a week free and after only 4 weeks i have lost the whole ten pounds. I feel that i have got my eating under control again due to the fact that you eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with a snack in between, also no real limit to the fruit and vegetables. All of the meals that i had were very tasty especially the soups. I cannot find fault and am amazed that i did not feel hungry once during the four weeks. I know in the back of my mind that if ever i do over indulge during holidays or christmas that i can order a few weeks of diet chef to get me back on track and lose the weight steadily without hunger pangs!! Thank you x"

maxine, 45, essex. 30 Apr 2010 4:47pm

"We started Diet Chef in January and three months later I've lost 2stones and my husband has lost 3stones. We've not been exercising but have stuck to the diet except for two meals out that we had. We've learnt the importance of smaller portions and although I don't love all the meals if you buy direct from Diet Chef you could take your pick. Best diet I've ever done as really easy and handy when you're working just to pop food in the microwave for a couple of minutes. Meals are delicious and if you take into account money you're not wasting on other food then represents good value and cheaper than a lot of other diet fad products. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed. Thanks Diet Chef, I know weigh almost the same as when I was 21 so not bad going."

Sarah, 49, Inverness. 14 Apr 2010 9:50pm

"My problem is that I am obsessed with food so diets usually don't help. I end up spending all my time planning meals etc and eventually I would fail because I spend all my time thinking about food. Diet Chef has been fantastic because all the planning is done for you, so I just forget about food until my next meal is due. I have lost nearly 1 1/2 stone in five weeks and feel great. I have a lot of weight to lose, but am feeling positive about dieting for the first time in years. Thank you Diet Chef."

Debs, 45, Mansfield. 13 Apr 2010 9:23pm

"Just wanted to say thanks to Diet Chef. I've been on the diet for nearly 6 weeks, and I've lost 32 pounds! I feel so much better, physically and mentally. I would recommend this diet to anyone, it's simple and the food is great. Thanks again!"

Dave P, 36, Windsor. 12 Apr 2010 3:20pm

"Well i have been doing diet chef for 8 days and have lost 9lbs already!! the variety of food is fab,and i look forward to planning my meals for the next day (sad i know!!) i have always struggled with my weight,but actually think there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.....finally!! i don't ever feel hungry,and haven't been slightly tempted to cheat yet either,and i WON'T!!!! If you can't seem to find a diet that works try diet chef......you won't look back!! ;0)"

Michelle Clark, 27, Trowbridge. 12 Mar 2010 4:05pm

"round about the middle of january i decided it was about time i lost some weight. so i started looking at different diets and decidided i'd give diet chef a go. i got my first months order at the end of january hoping to lose 2 stone before my holiday in april.well i'm only just starting my 8th week and i've already lost 3 stone so at the rate i'm going i'll have lost double what i wanted 4 my holiday so i can't praise diet chef enough, it's absolutely brilliant.THANKS DIET CHEF"

jan zacharow, 43, knottingley. 10 Mar 2010 10:57am

"I have tried numerous diets with differing effects and always get bored or struggle to follow. I was very impressed with Diet chef from before I even bought the food I had lots of questions which the pop up chat helped with straight away. I could choose what i like rather than having food that i wouldn't eat and can manage how I want to either weekly or Monthly. I am on day 3 of Diet chef and am so impressed, the food is lovely, portion size takes a little getting used to but the quality is great. I have stuck rigidly to it and in 2 days have lost 2LB. I am pretty certain I can make my goal of 1 stone within a Month - 6 weeks at this rate. Well Done diet Chef a very satisfied customer!"

Vicky, 38, Nottingham. 3 Mar 2010 4:14pm

"Hi there, I would like to write you a review. I did the 2 months of diet chef and am truley sad that I have to stop. I have never had any diet be so convientient and so easy to use. I have lost an incredible 2 stone in just shy of 2 months. I feel fantastic and again I stress how easy this diet is. All of the hard work, menu planning, grocery shopping has all been done for you. This Diet is truly the easiest way I have ever lost weight! THANK YOU DIET CHEF! (Best decision of the new year!!) "

DEAN and TRACY HOOPER 2 Mar 2010 4:15pm

"I started the diet 16 Jan, 2010. It is now 26 Feb, just under 6 weeks later I have lost 11 pounds, and I must admit I eat a little more than I should so if I had followed it strictly, I probably would have lost even more weight by now! I am really pleased with the results and have dropped a dress size already. I intend to keep going and I have got used to eating smaller portions throughout the day. My diet is now much healthier and I eat way more fruit and vegetables too! I love the way the portion sizes are worked out for you and have been educated so much by you guys - THANK YOU DIETCHEF! :-)"

Susan, 56, Cardiff. 26 Feb 2010 11:45pm

"I was told by my doctor I need to loose 3 stone. I have done various diets but get borded easily and find it difficult to do portion control. Rather than cooking enough for 2 meals and putting in the freezer I kept eating both portions! Well with this it is all packaged and the hard work done. Each evening I go "shopping in the boxes" its fun picking out a brekkie, snack, lunch and dinner ready for the next day. I cannot believe how great the food tastes. I pop the pouch and my 2 veggies in the steamer go for a walk and 30mins later DINNER is ready. Its so easy!!!!! Thank you Dietchef I have lost 21 lb in 6 and a half weeks. I cannot believe how easy this has been!"

Garry Quantrill, 41, Luton. 19 Feb 2010 1:10am

"I had app 6 stones to loose and it was a daunting prospect. Not any more due to being introduced to Diet Chef. I began the plan on the 25th of Nov and have already lost 2 stones. I am feeling and looking great already. People are now commenting and asking how I am doing so well. On my last holidaty in November I could not face being seen in my costume or even have my photo taken. My next holiday is in May and my aim is to be seen around the pool in my costume not feeling embaressed. This is now something I know I can face and will even have the photo's as proof. "

Jill Meadows, 49, Washington. 16 Feb 2010 7:36pm

"My wife convinced me to try diet chef and of course I was sceptical but in 3 weeks I have lost 15lbs! There is no denying that it was hard in the first 10 days but when you start to see the rewards it's well worth it plus it doesn't take that long to get used to smaller servings. Q The food is lovely which makes it easier and there is little preparation. I recommend Diet Chef whole heartedly, if you follow the instructions and don't cheat the weight starts flying off. "

Martin Preston , 42, Surbiton. 5 Feb 2010 3:30pm

"I am 50 years old and have been overweight for a number of years now. A colleague of mine, Lindsey, has been following the Diet Chef plan since the middle of 2009 and the results have been phenominal. She has been an inspiration and is continuing to follow the plan with exceptional results. In addition to Lindsey another 3 work colleagues are succesfully following the Diet Chef plan with equally impressive results. I hope that I can be as succesful as Lindsey and my other colleagues and that I will also succesfully manage to lose weight. I am currently 11st 5lbs and my target weight is 8st and I hope to achieve my target weight by the summer of 2010. "

Sue, 50, Bradford. 31 Jan 2010 12:25pm

"Got wedding approaching in October 2010, I have a lot to loose and over Christmas it suddenly dawned on me why I have failed at every diet I have ever done. I am too busy! Working full time and managing a home planning and weighing food was just too much like hard work! So then I saw diet chef advertised and realised this may be the answer to my problems. No planning, no cooking, just a couple of minutes in the microwave and you have tasty meals and soups to die for! I started my diet 1st Jan and today 29 days later I have lost one stone three pounds, maybe more as I weigh myself saturdays (tomorrow). For the first time I am excited and planning about life with my new figure. Doing things I never could carrying this excess weight! Thanks Diet Chef, Thanks! "

Janet Whalley, 45, Liverpool. 29 Jan 2010 1:32pm

"I am 33 years old and have been overweight all my life, in fact the smallest I have ever been was in my teens where I was a size 18. I have wanted to lose weight for myself for a while now but with my sisters wedding fast approaching it was the incentive I needed to give me a good nudge in the right direction. After 26 weeks of following the Diet Chef diet I have lost 71 lbs (5 stone 1 lb), this took me up to Christmas week and since then I have managed to maintain this with some festive over indulgence. I am now a size 16, I am going in shops I have never managed to buy clothes from before and my confidence in the way I look is growing and growing. Friends and colleagues have been so impressed that two of them have also signed up for the diet with others seriously considering it! My next aim is to get back on track following the festivities and get another 3 stone off so I have a healthy BMI, and hopefully be confident enough to fullfill my New Years resolution as well as look stunning for my sisters wedding in August so watch this space!!!!"

Lindsey, 33, Bradford. 31 Dec 2009 12:10am

"Overweight, fed up, no goals, lazy. Then I found Diet Chef, along with my partner we decided to give it a go. I lost 16 pounds on the 28 day plan, my partner lost 14 pounds. What a brilliant way to kick yourself ointo shape, and top quality food. I feel healthier already and plan to continue to lose more weight. It doesn't feel as if you are on a diet. Simply the best."

Dean, 49, Middlesbrough. 30 Dec 2009 10:43am

"I have been on the Diet chef for 4 weeks now, everyday i cook 4 differnet dinners for myself and my family (Nobody likes the same food). By the time i've cooked everyone elses dinner im starving an usually start to pick rather than cook my dinner. The Diet chef has been a god send, its so quick and easy, ive lost almost a stone in 4 weeks. I dont feel hungary,the food is delicious. I would reccommend Diet Chef to everyone who wants to loose weight!! I dont even feel like im on a diet, and i could eat the meals forever more. Thanks Diet Chef !!!"

Michelle Jelley, 36, Brentwood. 6 Dec 2009 9:32pm

"A friend of mine told me about Diet Chef as a good way to learn about portion control and to finally tackle my weight. I cannot recommend this diet enough. I was on it for two months and lost two stones! I even managed to get my sister to go on it. I feel fantastic and still manage to enjoy food but I have learned that my favourite foods are fine just as long as I have it all in moderation. "

Tamara , 25, Battersea. 3 Dec 2009 3:03pm

"This has to be the easiest and tastiest diet I have ever been on. After a month I have lost 10lbs so far and have another month to go hopefully to do this again. Brilliant !! Janet "

Janet Barker, 57, Chelmsford. 27 Nov 2009 6:22pm

"Since remarrying 23 years ago I piled on 4 stone and have been unable to lose any of it permanently. I tried all the usual diet clubs, lost a few pounds but always put it back on as I hate weighing and measuring. With Diet Chef you get calorie-counted portion control, and I've lost a stone and a half in three months, which is a healthy way to do it as I don't even feel I've been on a diet. My doctor was always nagging me to lose weight because of my bloodpressure, and now he's halved the dose of my medication and hopes to lower it even more. I have more energy, my clothes fit me again, and I'm going to continue until all 4 stone have gone. Thank you Diet Chef - I wish you'd been around many years ago!!!"

Ann Redrup, 65, Uxbridge. 19 Nov 2009 4:06pm

"DietChef best diet ever I joined a month ago lost stone in 3 weeks amazeing Ihave slowed down now still managed 2pound quite happy with that never been so determined the food is like something I made myself but so convenient,my sister joined at the same time and lost very similar to me"

ray gill, 75, pudsey leeds. 14 Nov 2009 7:13pm

"I gave birth to our first baby in July and we are getting married in April 2010, I have never been able to stick to a diet because I get lazy, I have only been on the diet 4 days, but I am loving it, and I never thought I would say that about a diet! I used to be a terrible snacker, but its gone, the food really is delicious, especially the curries and the snacks. I hope to loose 3 stone by January, if I carry on enjoying it like I have done so far, I should meet my goal. Fantastic diet. "

Alison Woods, 30, Tiptree. 31 Oct 2009 9:09pm

"Both Husband and Self have lost more than 30 lbs each, by following Diet Chef. We have added fruit and vegetables and have found the whole experience enjoyable. We find that during the week, it is an ideal way of eating, allowing that at weekends we eat fresh fish and perhaps the treat of a roast! "

Jo Sutherland, 75, Reigate. 26 Oct 2009 3:48pm

"Hi to all diet chet dieters Over the years i have tried every diet going some with much success and some without, i started using Diet Chef after i can home from my holiday, i have been on this diet for three weeks and i have lost a total of 6lbs, i am really pleased with myself for sticking to this diet. The meals taste wonderful and i never feel hungury. I have order yet another 2 weeks supply and I hope my weight loss continues. "

dawn wingfield, 46, stansted essex. 24 Oct 2009 8:57am

"What lovely food! I lost one and a half stones in two months and I didn't feel hungry. The weight is still coming off slowly, but this is a diet that worked for me - in fact, my sister drops in now and then for a 'lamb hot pot'!!"

PAULA CROOK, 65, TRURO. 19 Oct 2009 11:21am

"Its been 24 hours since I started My Diet Chef diet. I've got to say, I was very sceptical as I have tried diets before with no luck. I have had 3 meals and a snack so far and I am truley amazed. I am not hungry between meals one bit and the food is absolutely delicious, even my Son tried it and agreed (I'm gob smacked). I can see now that when I fill my plate with all this rubbish food, that it is out of greed and not need, and that by removing all the bad artificial stuff from food, it actually has taste. Thank you Diet Chef, I am looking forward to finishing my first month and getting on the scales at the end of it."

Marie Trower, 36, pinxton, Nottinghamshire. 9 Oct 2009 9:52am

"I saw the Diet Chef advert on TV and thought mmm that sounds good, lets give it a a go! well im on my second week and the food is amazing! I lost 4lbs in my first week and didnt even feel hungry... I never thought I could enjoy such low calorie food and feel full. It has taught me about portion control and not to eat unless im hungry!"

Gemma Irwin, 26, Winchester. 7 Oct 2009 1:01pm

"it is so easy to follow because everything is delivered to your door. u only need to add fruit and vegatables. i have nearly dropped two dress sizes with another month hamper to go. i combined mine wiv light exercise. highly recommend"

anita, 32, devon. 2 Oct 2009 3:22pm

"I have only just started Diet Chef. I ordered a week first to try and then a 5 week hamper. It is absolutely brilliant. The food is delicious and effortless. It does not feel like I am on a diet whatsoever. I have never tried a diet like this and I think I have done them all. It is early days to know how fast the weight loss will be but I don't actually care if I just lose 1lb a week as I'm loving this so much. If you are contemplating this, I'd urge you to go for it, I am convinced that you will not regret it!"

Alison, 47, Glasgow. 28 Sep 2009 9:54pm

"I had been wanting to lose some weight for a long time for health reasons. My husband spotted the television ad for dietchef.com and I went online, read about it and signed up there and then. The fact that I am eating ordinary food, but just ready calorie-counted and ready to pop into a microwave has made all the difference and makes it so easy. The food is tasty, nutritious and varied and I have lost one stone in a month. Just in time for my son's wedding. I hope to lose up to another stone with my second month's supply and will then call it a day. I will use the Dietchef portion sizes to help me continue with maintenance once I go back to eating with the family. Many thanks to Dietchef.com."

"My weight had crept up since I had my son, six years ago. Earlier this year it had gone up to nearly twelve and a half stone. I was starting to grow out of a size 16 I and felt bloated and tired. Being a full time Police Officer and wife and mother, juggling shift work and family life became exhausting. My health was suffering and I was getting depressed with my weight gain. I saw Diet Chef being advertised on the TV and thought it sounded just right for me. I ordered five weeks worth of meals the next day. That was mid-May. By August I had lost 39lb and wearing size 10 trousers!! I was amazed that it was so easy to lose the weight. The meals taste great, which made it easier. I have since learnt to count calories successfully and am much more aware of what I eat. My energy level has increased and I now enjoy exercise which helps keep the weight off."

"I read about Diet Chef in the Daily Telegraph and as my husband was going to be away from home for the next 6 months(he is in the RAF), I felt it was a great time to do something for myself and lose the weight that had slowly crept up over the past 10 yrs. I started one year ago this month(August)with the Diet Chef plan and have never looked back. My initial weight was 10 stone 6lbs; I am now 8 stone 2lbs, was wearing a size 16; now wearing size 6. I lost the first 2 stones by xmas, only eating Diet Chef. Since Xmas, I have just been careful with my portion sizes and limit my carbs and lost another 1/2 stone. Still able to maintain by increasing my activity, which is so much easier without all the extra weight. Have had the fun task of buying a totally new wardrobe(all my "too big" clothes have been recycled to the charity shop). I feel like a new person, everyone thinks that I look amazing, most of all my husband! I have spread the word about Diet Chef! Thanks!"

"I have tried all manner of diets, most recently I did a VLCD which involved 4 food packs a day, totalling 800 calories. I did lose a lot of weight over a 3 month period, but it was so hard, and if anything i became even more obsessed with food after it all, and inevitably put all the weight back on. A friend suggested Diet Chef, and I have just completed my first week. I am so happy i did. The food is delicious and it really educates you into portion control. I cant recommend it highly enough. My husband wants to start having packs too."

"As with a lot of diets I admit to being a bit sceptical about the likely success and really decided to embark on Diet Chef so that I could get my portion size in control not have to worry about calorie counting, weighing food etc. I was very impressed with the choice of meals and must say that since I have started there really hasn't been one meal I haven't enjoyed - the food is truly delicious, with hot favourites being the chicken fricasse, Thai chicken curry and mushroom stroganoff. I am getting married next year and definitely did not want to be fat for the big day. As we all know metabolic rates tend to slow down as we get older so I wasn't expecting big weight losses, even though I have quite a lot of weight to lose, but have been pleasantly surprised as I have been doing Diet Chef for 7 weeks now and have already lost 2.5 stones (yes, 35 pounds), and inches from literally everywhere. I exercise in a pool 4 times a week, but am a bit restricted with what I can do having had extensive knee surgery over the last 7 years so I can strongly recommend Diet Chef to anyone who wants to lose weight without feeling hungry, and enjoying a wide variety of really tasty meals. Thank you very much Diet Chef."

"I have been dieting for 2 years with other diets and lost nearly 5 stone which is good. But i needed a boost as it has started to slow down and i still have 3 stone to loose. I found diet chef on the tv and the internet and decided to give it a go as all my meals are sorted. I ordered a week to give it a go and to see if i liked the food which they are lush and tasty. I have now done the first week and i am so pleased that i have lost 9lb and 6 cm from my hips and 5 cm from my thigh and 2cm from my waist. It really does work and i have never once felt hungry and feel really good. Have now ordered another 5 weeks food. Thankyou diet chef you really have given me a boost."

"I cannot tell you how pleased I am that I went with my instincts and started this wonderful diet.At 64years old I have tried everything under the sun in my quest to lose weight and only ever gained!! I started this diet on 10th July 2009 and as of today,26th July 2009, have lost 10.5lbs!! I am not hungry, nor have I been. With just a little veg with all my meals and maybe snacks and fruit, I feel so much better. I would recommend this way of dieting to anyone wishing to lose weight, especially someone who is " obese " I now am 14st 3.5lbs and am still losing. Diet Chef will always get my vote and I wish to say thanks from the bottom of my heart. Kind thoughts, Marion"
