I'm picky. How does The Biggest Loser Meal Plan by eDiets cater to my unique tastes and specific nutritional requirements?
With The Biggest Loser Meal Plan by eDiets, you always have the option to change your weekly menu and make it your own. If you'd like to swap your pizza for spaghetti and meatballs, that's fine with us. You can customize your weekly menu from our selection of meals to ensure that you receive your favorites from a wide variety of menu options. All meals and program menus are designed and approved by our staff of dietitians to be portion and calorie-controlled so you can enjoy all the variety.

How is the food heated?
All the Biggest Loser meals come packed in microwave-safe containers and can be re-heated in as little as 1 to 2 minutes. Detailed heating instructions are included with every meal. You can eat the meals directly from the container for easy cleanup. Or if you prefer, you can transfer the meals to a regular dish for a more traditional presentation.

Do I need to be home to receive the meals?
No. The meals will be left for you in a sealed weatherproof cooler and will be safe and cool when you arrive home. Though a few hours on your front porch will not have an impact on the meals, we recommend that you not leave a delivery unattended for an extended period of time.

Do The Biggest Loser foods have trans fats?
The Biggest Loser meals contain zero trans fats and no hydrogenated oils.


Do I have to order online?
You can order online or call 1-800-360-8226 to reach a representative of The Biggest Loser Meal Plan by eDiets. We will be happy to take your order over the phone and answer any questions you may have.

How much weight can I expect to lose?
Our program is designed for the recommended safe and effective weight loss of 1-2 lbs per week. Since everyone's body type is different, results may vary. We can help you obtain optimal results from your meal delivery program with the assistance of our registered dietitians.

Is there an additional fee for the expert consultations?
No. At The Biggest Loser Meal Plan by eDiets, we believe that meals are only part of the weight-loss equation. Following a meal plan, including your own fitness program and receiving support from our nutrition experts will help you achieve your goals. All The Biggest Loser Meal Plan memberships include FREE access to unlimited online and phone support from our dietitians, eTools, newsletters, and more!

I'm not overweight? Why should I order The Biggest Loser Meal Delivery?
At The Biggest Loser, our goal is not only to help you lose weight, but to help you achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle you'll benefit from in many ways. Our meal delivery program is ideal for anyone looking for better health and the simplicity and convenience of having freshly prepared, great tasting meals delivered to their home!


What if my cooler arrives and the gel-packs are melted?
If your cooler arrives and the gel-packs are melted, do not be alarmed. As long as the meals are still refrigerator cold to the touch, your order can be placed in the fridge with no impact on the quality. If you are not sure, then call Customer Service at 1-800-360-8226.

 

What if I will be out of town during a scheduled meal delivery?
Not a problem. If you know in advance that you will be out of town and unable to receive your weekly delivery, you can simply SKIP that week. To do so, go to your Meal Delivery Preferences page and select which week(s) you would like to skip or give our customer service team a call at 1-800-360-8226. Remember, you must make any changes to your delivery schedule prior to the cutoff day and time for that shipment.

 

What if I'm on medication?
We suggest consulting your physician before you start this or any other nutrition program.

 

Are any preservatives used in the meals?
We do not add any artificial preservatives to our meals, and we continue to strive to eliminate all preservatives in our menu items. Some pre-packaged snacks, sauces or pre-prepared items (such as tortillas) may contain small amounts of preservatives. If you have any ingredient sensitivities, please be sure to review the ingredients list and nutritional breakdown found on the label of the package. For your added convenience, you may also preview this information online.

 

How long will the meals keep in my refrigerator?
The meals will stay fresh in your refrigerator for up to 10 days from receipt of your cooler. You may freeze them for up to three months if you wish to keep them longer.


What if I go out to eat?
We understand that sometimes situations arise when you may not require one of your Biggest Loser meals. If you are eating out, you can save your Biggest Loser meal to eat at the end of your cycle. Your meals will stay fresh for up to 10 days after delivery with refrigeration or you can store your meal in the freezer for up to three months to eat at a later date. Our 5-day meal plan option offers the perfect balance of structure and flexibility for those who eat out frequently as part of their lifestyle.

We recommend you use your Biggest Loser meals as a guide to eating appropriate portion sizes while dining out. You may also want to consult your Dining Out Guide, found in the Tools section of The Biggest Loser Meal Plan website, for some helpful suggestions.


I like to eat out on the weekends. Will this program work for me?
Of course! You may simply want to select the "weekends free" option. It's the same great food, just in a 5-day plan. The 5-day plan allows for more flexibility than the 7-day plan and you can easily switch from one plan to the other as your needs change.


Do I eat my meal or snack even if I'm not hungry?
We encourage eating all the meals listed on your meal plan. Your meal plan has been designed to provide you with essential nutrients necessary for optimal energy, nutrition and healthy weight loss.

 

What if I am still hungry?
In addition to eating your meals and snack, you should be adding in your choice of our suggested items daily. Please log in to the member site and refer to your Shopping List for the recommended portions. Add these items to a meal or eat as a snack in between your meals. The choice is yours. Often, eating something every 2-3 hours will help to curb your hunger. If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to contact Nutrition Support at 1-800-360-8226.


Can I drink alcohol while I am on the program?
Your daily plan is specifically tailored to your nutritional requirements. If you choose to drink alcohol, limit intake to no more than two drinks a day for men and one a day for women (one drink is 12 ounces of light beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of liquor). Alcohol consumption increases your calorie intake and may inhibit or delay weight loss.


What can I do with leftover packaging?
We continually strive to provide the proper balance between minimizing packaging and providing a fresh, food-safe product. While improvements are an ongoing process, our current meal delivery packaging is highly recyclable as follows:

 

Styrofoam Coolers

Our Styrofoam coolers are expanded polystyrene, material #6 in the recycling system and contain no chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). They are reusable and can maintain temperatures of perishable goods with a minimum amount of refrigeration for an extended period of time. If you choose not to keep and reuse your coolers, they can be donated to youth camps for outdoor activities, local food shelters or thrift stores. If you would like more information on polystyrene materials or local recycling drop-off locations, you can visit the Alliance of Foam Packaging Recyclers at http://epspackaging.org/info.html.

 

Gel Packs

To dispose of the gel packs, you may place them in the trash or reuse by placing them flat in a freezer for later use. The gel packs contain a USDA-approved, food-grade substance for safety reasons and are non-toxic. However, they should not be poured down a sink.

 

Want a great way to recycle your gel packs and beautify your garden at the same time? Simply empty the liquid contents of each gel pack into your garden's soil or mulch and discard the outer bag in your recycling bin. The gel pack content will help your garden retain moisture and grow larger, healthier plants. Please be assured this food-grade liquid will not harm any plants, humans or animals that come in contact with the soil.

 

Food Trays

The plastic food trays can be recycled or reused to store food and non-food items, such as office, school or craft supplies. All other packaging materials contained in your Meal Delivery shipment can be deposited in your home recycling bin for regular pickup and sorting.
