This is my journey to become a healthier me. It began on January 26, 2010 and stalled out... I got a type 2 diabetes diagnosis on March 30, 2022 and started to focus on my health again. On November 8, 2022 I added Ozempic to my toolbox to help me shed some pounds and inches!

Easy Flex Meal Solutions

As I've written about in a few of my posts, occasionally I like to order meal delivery boxes so that I don't have to think about or plan my meals. While some of the recipes can be very calorie heavy, there are lots of choices that would fit nicely into a calorie reduced plan and still eliminate much of the planning and prep involved with cooking.

These services come with recipe cards for the meals that you choose (no worries about getting something you are allergic to or that you don't like!) and all the ingredients come pre measured- some even come already chopped or prepared! So you don't have to worry about grocery shopping for specific ingredients or doing any planning; just follow the recipe card and enjoy a fancy but homecooked meal!

I'm a member of several of these services and while I don't get a delivery every week, you can pause or skip your service at any time and only order when recipes seem particularly interesting or you're in the mood for something that is a little less processed. Here are just a few of the recipes I've tried lately:

Seared Mediterranean Chicken with Quinoa & Goat Cheese
Sheet Pan Cod with Chermoula & Whole Wheat Couscous
Brazilian Shrimp Moqueca

The other advantage I've found is that many of these services not only send meal boxes for you to prepare yourself, but they also sell premade meals that are a million times better than frozen grocery store boxed meals. These meals are prepared fresh and with the discounts through my promo codes, they are both cheaper and healthier than takeout! If you are busy and don't have time some days to cook, these can be a much better option than hitting the drive thru.

If you'd like to try one of these services, check to see if they deliver to your area! I am a member of Cook It, Chef's Plate, GoodFood, and HelloFresh. Remember you can pause or skip weeks at any time, or even cancel right after receiving your discounted box- there is no obligation whatsoever at any time. That's the reason why I am a member of so many services instead of just one; not only did I get a cheap box from each service but this way I have more choice each week of what recipes I would like to have, and I just skip the week on the other services.

Also, there is one service that is solely premade meals- all you do is heat and eat. They offer low calorie, high protein, and keto meals so there is something for everyone! The quality is much nicer than a standard frozen meal because these are freshly prepared meals. I've been enjoying them as post workout lunches!
