We are constantly working to expand our delivery area. To see all the areas we service, please view our delivery map.

For locations outside this radius, please inquire about availability before signing up.

Delivery Windows
The delivery window is between 1pm - 5pm. Requests to target certain times within those windows that are made at sign-up we will try to accommodate, but some requests will not be possible.

Delivery Logistics
Before your scheduled delivery you have direct contact with the delivery company for your special logistics by dialing 1-800-754-4240. The delivery company connects with us on any issues that require our assistance.

Delivery change requests need to be communicated to us with 48 hours notice and cannot be guaranteed to be accommodated if they cannot be worked into the predefined delivery routes.

Delivery Instructions
At sign up you will be asked to give specific instructions and backup instructions for making deliveries. Deliveries can be brought to your door, left in a secure location, delivered to a neighbor, taken to an office receptionist, etc. At this time we do not take keys to make deliveries to locked locations.

Delivery Credits
There are no credits or refunds on deliveries once the 48 hour cancellation deadline has passed. The unlikely event of late arrival is usually due to circumstances beyond our control or the control of the driver.

Delivery Coolers
Meals are delivered in reusable coolers and ice packs that must be returned to the delivery company when they come with your next delivery. On your last delivery for any given period it is your responsibility to return the cooler directly to the driver on the day of its delivery or otherwise arrange for its return (coolers can be easily folded and mailed). Lost, damaged or unreturned coolers missing for more than 30 days will be charged at $15 each and ice packs at $5 per set.

Order Cancellation Deadlines
Cancellations for orders must be received by noon three-business days before your scheduled delivery. This means by Thursday of the previous week for Tuesday deliveries and by Tuesday for Friday deliveries.

Questionnaires and Documentary Film:
Our goal with our meal service is primarily to provide healthful food to busy people. In addition, we are interested in understanding and making known the benefits of changing eating patterns in this way and the the implications of these changes for personal and global health.

For this reason we plan to introduce periods of voluntary data collection and also organize short video taped interviews with clients who feel they have something to share.

Our goal is to eventually produce a documentary film about people who change their diets and notice an impact on their health. Both the video and data collection components of meal delivery are optional. We deeply appreciate the efforts of anyone who chooses to participate in our larger initiative.

What Will Happen To My Weight?
One interesting thing about our approach to health and weight loss is that this is not portion control and not about counting calories. You will only lose weight if you have it to lose.

The reason this works is that our approach is based upon the natural balance of a whole-foods diet that, until a few short centuries ago, was the way the majority of the world ate. Obesity and many of our common ailments were rarely seen in societies that developed successful traditional diets.

The way you will be eating when receiving meal delivery is a completely sustainable, non-restrictive approach to nourishment that gives your body the nutrition for which it was designed through delicious foods, so that you can achieve and maintain your ideal weight, while improving your overall health.

These Meals Can Benefit My Health?
Our meals and menus are carefully designed to provide an enjoyable, easy and nutritionally sound solution to eating that incorporates the most important concepts from the world's traditional diets, therapeutic approaches to eating like Macrobiotics and essential research like The China Study. These therapies and studies and our work with clients demonstrate that not only are the meals we have designed a delicious, long-term solution for losing and keeping off weight, but they are also a simple and effective tool to improve health.

Read How Marcia Improved Her Health And Lost 26 Lbs In 4 Months:

“After my doctor recommended I adopt a Macro-Mediterranean way of eating, the improvements in my health were quick to come. At the end of just the first week of food from the meal service, my arthritis pain had significantly improved. After eating like this for a month and a half, I lost 19 lbs. Now after 4 months I have lost 26 lbs. I had suffered for a long time from a lot of pain in my stomach and lower digestive tract. That has completely stopped. I have had trouble for the past few years with my liver and now my tests are suddenly improving as is my diabetes control. The only change I have made is how I eat. The best thing about this is that there has not been one day that I have felt deprived or hungry. I only wish that I could have learned about this sooner”, (you can read more about Marcia on our Testimonials page).

Testimonials


Leanne speaks to her experience of the many health improvements commonly attributed to adopting a Macro-Mediterranean way of eating. She talks about her improved energy, ease losing weight, significantly lowered cholesterol and blood pressure, better concentration and also shares some gained insight into "aging well" that came with her first 4 weeks of Macro-Mediterranean Meal Delivery.


Nancy discusses with Maureen, her Pilates instructor, the changes Maureen saw in Nancy after she adopted a Macro-Mediterranean way of eating and the chronic arthritis pain that had plagued Nancy for years, went away.


George discusses with us his first 10 days receiving meal delivery and how he lost 11 lbs. George is a Type II diabetic and he also was surprised to find that from day 1 his blood glucose levels were not only consistently well inside doctor recommended safety zones (a new experience for him), but were lower than he has ever seen during his 12 years of trying to use diet change to help control his diabetes. NEW: See George's timeline of improvement, click here!


Debra started the Macro-Mediterranean "Yes You Can" Study having a history of serious depression. She also has Type II Diabetes. In this short video she describes how her first 10 days participating in the study provided health improvements and gave her a new outlook for the future.


In January of 2007 Maria Mellano was suffering from fatigue, shortness of breath, anemia and high-fever. In the hospital it became evident that something serious was going on as the medical staff realized she was hemorrhaging into her lungs and kidneys. She was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease.

In this video you will hear her tell her own story of how through a healing diet and a Macro-Mediterranean approach to eating she has, in a short time, regained more health and vitality than her doctors thought possible.


Since beginning my learning with you I feel like I have become a part of a community of people seeking positive change in their lives. For the first time I am actually enjoying the process of changing my nutritional intake. (I do not want to call this a diet, as I feel like it is a lifestyle change).

The best part of working with you is that you do not expect perfection and do not advocate restriction. Instead you have assisted me and encouraged me to make slow changes. You have provided me with knowledge as to what certain foods do to my body and why eating them or limiting them are beneficial. This way I can make an educated decision.
