How to Order Diet Foods

Many weight loss plans offer foods specially produced for the diet. Diet brands, including the South Beach Diet, Jenny Craig, Biggest Loser and Nutrisystem, have food lines. To make the foods easily accessible to dieters, many of these companies allow you to purchase meals and have them delivered directly to your home.

Step 1

Log onto the website for the diet food delivery service you prefer. The home page for diets, including Nutrisystem and Jenny Craig, offer you a way to order the appropriate foods for the plan.

Step 2

Browse the menu to narrow down your choices. Diet food manufacturers will offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. Most food items will include a description and nutritional data, such as calories, fat grams and carbohydrates.

Step 3

Choose your meals based on the set time frame for your diet. Diet food delivery services often permit you to choose the food items that will make up your meals over the next seven days, 14 days or a month.

Step 4

Prepare your refrigerator or freezer so you are ready when the diet foods arrive. If you are purchasing a large supply, such as a month's worth, you will need adequate space. Your food will arrive in insulated containers, packaged with dry ice if refrigeration is required. Plan to transfer the food into your fridge as soon as it arrives.

Step 5

Type your delivery address and credit card information on the checkout page for the diet food delivery service. Check for the padlock symbol to ensure that you are providing your credit card information over a secure network. If you don't see one, your credit or debit card number is at risk of being compromised by a cybercriminal.

Tips and Warnings

  • Many diet food delivery programs offer auto-delivery options that keep refilling your order until you contact the company to cancel delivery. You can also find diet foods at grocery stores. Many supermarkets carry the South Beach Diet and Lean Cuisine lines.
