Not sure how food this tasty and high quality is diet food, but it is. Have been using this company for 3 years intermittently and they are the best. The customer service is excellent, the food is delicious and they blow away competitors. Cost a smidgen more but so worth it. Show details

The salmon used in the Thai red salmon curry w greens from Dietlicious brand was of much poorer quality than previous deliveries I have recieved and greatly enjoyed. This puts into question the companies ability to maintain the so called gormet standard quality they offer using unsupervised outside suppliers. Show details

 Follow-up  · The soft Salmon texture was different and the taste was horrible but the greens seemed fresh. I have had other deliveries since and they were of good quality again so it must have been just a one off poor batch. I love this dish and will keep ordering it.

Best tasting meals for weight loss – I have been ordering Dietlicious meals for a while now. They are the best quality meals I have tasted - taste like real food, good flavours, lots of variety and you know they haven't put bad ingredients into them. The portions are small but surprisingly filling. I like that they don't force you to have a weekly subscriptions so I just order when I… Read more

need to restock. I keep the meals in my freezer so there's no wastage. I look out for the email offers and usually get a free product with every order. If I need to lose a couple of kilos then I eat mainly dietlicious food for a week or two and then go back to using them a few meals a week to maintain. Highly recommend their food!

Extremely Happy! – Absolutely thrilled with the quality of this food service. Tried the fit over 40 menu and the salads are AMAZING! I love the range of leaves with the added herbs and seeds. I’ve tried many food delivery services and so far this food is outstanding in quality and flavour. My husband even says he’s never seen anything like it. Show details

Poor quality! – Very disappointed! Food tasted ok up until day 5, then this is what you get. For the money you pay, this is unacceptable. I've had frozen meals from other companies and never seen poor quality like this.

Query in actual calories – The food is not bad, the delivery turned up when they stated it would, but my query is I am on the Fast 800 calorie diet with DL, I have noted that 5 out of 7 meals were over the 800 calories a day more like 940 and above, also the calories on the containers don't match the calories on the website, like I said the food hasn't been awful, but have… Read more

been a little put off by the calories, why advertise a 800 calorie diet if it is actually not, I know you cant get it to the exact amount but I think you could do better than this. As I am following the Fast800Diet that is mentioned on the website by Dr Michael Mosely I was happy that DL had the 800 diet, don't think I will be trying the second week as your not really sure what your getting in regards to the calories, have followed this to the T, and have actually gained some weight, bit sad about that. One of my containers that I received was out of date, but they assured me that this was a mistake with the label and it would not be out of date. After reading some of your reviews, yes you are right the lady on the other end of the phone seemed a bit put out, must of been having a bad day, but not the best person to have on your frontline desk, if this is usual. Thanks DL but for the money I think you need to take some reviews on-board. Like I said previously meals have not been all that bad. Cheers T.

Incredible food delivery service. Food is delicious! – I started using dietlicious after I gained some weight being chair bound due to an injury. This food has many options. I chose the brekky lunch dinner and snack. All food is so delicious and nutritiounist balances and calorie balanced. I lost 2kg in the first two weeks. Allows for salted caramel crunch snacks and I even fit in an apple or piece of… Read more

fruit on some days. Highly recommend it! All ranges of calorie plans, weight loss, weight gain, and variations.

May 7th 2018 Update: Amazing food. Can’t live without it.Range of options for meal plans. I chose the 7 day plan so breakfast lunc and dinner with snack. The food is soo good I look forward to it!!! Calorie controlled, Healthy. good for you. And above all delicious! I have lost 5.4 kg over the last month and a half! Without even trying! I had gained weight since a knee injury sidelined me. Now I eat healthy

And the food is delicious. I even add in fruit to round out my day. All in all I can’t recommend it enough. The food is flash frozen. Microwaveable

Or in the oven. Good for pescetarians, meat eaters and vegos. Delish!

Lost 4kgs in 2 weeks - Great food, good service & it works – Update: I have now been doing DL for 5 weeks: weight loss to date is 6.5kgs. I'm still enjoying it & i stand by my comments below. I'm not bored of the food. The food is clean (ie no packaged muesli bars or cereals) so its filling & no blood sugar slumps for me. There's nothing I have hated, but I def have my favourite meals. I haven't had any… Read more

issues with the quality of the food which i see some other reviewers have. I unpack at night on the day of delivery.

-----

I have been doing DL for 2.5 weeks now (17 days). I have been diligent in following the plan, eating only their meals, eating every 3-4 hours, no additional food, & entering the calories in MyFitnessPal app to give me focus. I have a broken ankle so am not doing any exercise at all (not incidental, let alone the gym!). I have lost 4kgs in 2 weeks. I am in the "overweight" band for my height (vs obese or slightly overweight). It works! Oh & I have been sleeping a lot. It has been the easiest diet I have ever been on because the food is always yum- so even if I want to eat more i am OK with waiting until my next meal because I know the next meal will be yum & I know when and what it is. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DL. I have previously lost weight from eating to my macros but could not keep it off once i stopped the gym. Have previously tried Jenny Craig, WeightWatchers and LitenEasy but none have been this successful for me because the food was packaged & processed & (for me) not tasty or filling. For me this works because my meals are planned & ready & good. I wont cheat because its all ready for me. My plan is to hit goal & then slowly wean off. All food has been fresh & good. Follow the cooking & storing instructions & you will be fine (i have made mistakes which compromised the taste). Hope this helps you.

Best meal delivery service around!! – I have been purchasing meals from Dietlicious since for 6 weeks and the meals are amazing. The meals are often restaurant quality, nutritionally balanced and I have lost 10kgs so far. I commenced using a meal plan but have now transitioned to building my own plan. There are a range of options and this allows flexibility. I have come into Spring feeling happier and healthier and will continue to use this amazing service. Show details

Best Salads – I’ve tried a number of meal delivery services and meal kits and this is the first time I’ve been blown away. I haven’t tasted any frozen meals yet as I’m addicted to the salads I ordered that are actually fresh (even after three days) and so delicious. I’m shocked and thrilled. It’s not cheap so I’m not sure how often I will order, but I will definitely order again. Show details

fabulous flavour – All meals have fantastic flavour and size is perfect. Love the fact you can get gluten free, vegan meals and dairy free too. Much better than any other diet meal company. Show details

Disgusting – Tried a lot of meal services. This is by far the worse. Over priced. Some meals I threw in the bin as they were not worth eating and I will eat pretty much anything. Show details

Expensive and snobbish – I've been a long time customer. Dietlicious is one of the most delicious meal but it comes at about 300 aud per week. I often get the same meal package. Recently, it got a few orders wrong and I was kind and explained that I wasn't upset. This week, it missed my salad greens but I was too busy to raise an issue on the same day. I gave them the… Read more

benefit of the doubt that the salad might be already packed into daily plastic bags. This time, for a difference of about $10, they interrogated how could I possible not know. So really, my kind benefit of the doubt was turned against me.

I don't believe in saying this so I use the following sentence very rarely, only when I find a company so unreasonable. As a company, you are dead to me.

Try someone else – Have ordered from Dietlicious and its other named company, Chef on Wheels several times. Portions are small (so you know you're on a diet LOL), but tasted okay (nothing spectacular). Not many vegetarian meals and those they did have were quite sparse of vegetables (mainly sauce). I can't comment on meat dishes. Sadly deliveries were left in my… Read more

garden in the sun, rather than the foyer as requested. I have to say that their customer service staff were quite rude and obnoxious. It just left me with a really bad taste in my mouth. I got confused about an email from Dietlicious, although I was expecting a delivery from Chef on Wheels. I didn't know the company was one and the same. The customer service person was aggressive and rude. Apparently I should have known the two companies were one and the same. She talked down to me as if I was a toddler. Even my home visitor commented how badly I was talked to. I will stick to my other ready-meal providers.

Living made easy! – Dietlicious have made trying to eat well and keeping weight down so much easier when I am working full time. I have no time to cook after long days at work and the ease of having prepared meals available is so helpful. Not only that, the meals are wonderful. Show details

Just no – I’ve never left a review for a meal prep company. I’ve tried so many and they’re all a similar standard, taste and price! However, this company is inedible. They come frozen not fresh, which is not pleasant, and half the dinners are raw and require to be thawed and then cooked in a wok/pan… The precooked meals are dry and overcooked when heated from frozen for 8mins as instructed. Many other cheaper and convenient options out there! Show details

Macros are Inaccurate. Meals not appropriate for a Calorie Controlled Diet – I was on a 1200 calorie Diet back in 2018 & I was successfully losing weight. I recall ordering their vegetarian meals, I mostly ordered the lentil with rice & their cauliflower curry. The meals are delicious, there is no doubt about that. However, I continued my 1200 cal diet incorporating their meals, I started to put on weight. I believe their… Read more

macros are way off. Not ideal for weight loss but great for convenience. I contacted them regarding this issue and they somehow blamed it on me instead of rectifying the issue. Goodluck to them anyway.

Terrible frozen food – I honestly don’t know how people can eat this food. It’s frozen, so when you thaw it the texture of the food changes and it’s gross and watery. I have tried pretty much all meal plans in Australia and this is by far the worst. There are cheaper FRESH options available Show details

GIVE THEM A GO! – After spending A LOT of time scrolling through the multiple ready meal delivery services out there, I decided to give Dietlicious a go. Now, I wasn't necessarily after any sort of weight loss results as i'm a lean & active 34 year old male. I was more searching for a viable choice that provided good variety, sustainable packaging, and of course… Read more

- food that tasted EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD. I'm a foodie - I love to cook, and I love to eat good food. I can confidently say that Dietlicious will satisfy all your expectations. I am on to my 4th order with the company, and I continue to smile as I get through the range of individual items.

For the extremely hungry - I would stick to the dinner range for lunch also. The lunch portions can sometimes be on the smaller side.

Tasty real food! – Just finished a 3 day cleanse (gluten free as I am Coeliac) and have been extremely satisfied with the quality and tastiness of all the meals and snacks. Just a breakfast smoothie was a little “light on” for me so I added a poached egg each morning and a piece of fruit each night & felt very satisfied with everything else. Didnt feel deprived one bit! LOVED the taste of everything. Thank you! Show details

dinner, supplementing with my own supplies to have breakfast, and snacks between lunch and dinner ... so far it is working out

Yes, the serves may appear small, and they may not look appealing all the time, but they are nutritious and are filling, and given part of an overall balanced approach i have no issue recommending them

Delicious Surprise Indeed! – Working full time and being home during the week by myself, I was after a healthy and easy option for lunches and dinners, something that was also calorie controlled, that's when I came across Dietlicious. I am onto my third week and so far, every single meal I have had has been delicious! I have tried everything from salads to curries and meatballs with pasta, it is all fantastic! I couldn't recommend Dietlicious more highly! Show details

Good – Food is very tasty. Once again, can pick up the food. Always fresh, and the menu for my budget isn't too expensive. I couldn't complain. Not perfect, but better than a lot of the other ones I have tried in the past.

Inconsistent in quality, information and service, cannot recommend – The 1st week was good menu & food good and followed plan, 2nd week incredibly frustrating, nothing on menu (from week before with 4 weeks food on it) was what I received & the food was really quite inedible at times, so disappointing for the price, and it was hard to get through to customer service and when I did she was 'Diet viscious' not… Read more

Dietliscious! Obviously harried and having a bad day as she was the only one on she escalated it to a child's level of conversation and mimicked me and was the single most aggressive person I have ever talked to. Bar none. I just cannot recommend anyone use this service when there are so many better and professional customer service orientated and organised ones out there now. Some meals have been a splodge on a plate with I imagine a $2 food cost, for the price one expects better.

Tasty with good options for vegetarians and vegans – Into week two of Dietlicious meals and have been pleased with the selection so far. Meals are really flavorsome . Vegan and vegetarian options lean towards a spicier selection of Thai, Indian and Mexican influenced dishes . For vegans there is a good selection of protein snacks as well. Prices seemed to be on par with other food delivery… Read more

services . My choice of Dietlicious over other products came down to the range of vegan options and the number of positive reviews they received . I have not been disappointed. Would recommend this service for variety if you are vegetarian or vegan wanting to follow a food plan for a period of time.

Nice tasting meals, bit exey when you add on delivery charges – I find these meals tasty with a good variety of options and nice tasting options for vegetarian and pescatarian meals. For me they are the perfect size and low calorie but my husband thinks the servings are too small for him. My only gripe with these and why I don't order often, is that you have to pay a delivery fee which on top of meals that are already $10 or $12 it becomes quite expensive.

Happy customer - quick delivery and good food – Food was tasty. Had a lot of vegetarian options. I've had issues with food going bad quickly with other companies, but the food in this is so well packed - rice is vacuum-packed separately! Definitely a happy customer

Great meals! – I have started the 10 day cleanse and it's been amazing! The food is really delicious, which I wasn't expecting for cleanse food. They are well portioned too. Also I wanted to swap a couple of meals as I didn't like fish and they did it with no problem. Great communication and delivery was right on time. Good work dietlicious I'll definitely be a repeat customer.

If you need to appreciate airline food, eat Dietlicious – I can tell why Dietlicious customers lose weight - most of the meals aren't worth eating. From the wastefully packaged, tiny serves of vegetables to the main meals bizarrely packed into round plastic tubs (wasting freezer space) whose lids explode off in the microwave, everything was disappointing. Some particular low-lights: The Shepherd's Pie… Read more

- they claim to be using real potato for their "creamy mash", but the grainy, separated garbage smacked of the fake stuff used by hospitals in the 80s.

Texan Beef Wrap - a whole lotta wrap, and then a few grains of beef between starchy beans. The wraps were so tough that it took a steak knife to cut through them, but 'fortunately' there was so little filling that it didn't fall off my plate in the crush.

I bought a packet of protein balls for $4. There was one ball in there. One. For four dollars. And it was the gross kind of protein ball: all grit and no taste.

I am making my way through the many different meal delivery services out there before I dedicate my loyalty to the best I find, so thank you, Dietlicious, for making it so terribly easy to cut you out of the running. I highly recommend FreshMeals2U (despite the sustainability/recycling issues), 5.4 (who are working on some thawing issues), and The Organic Kitchen Caterers if you're in Melbourne.

I seriously question the authenticity of the five-star reviews others have left - not a single meal from the $200 boxful I bought came close to being impressive. Don't bother unless you really hate yourself.

Perfect for singles – I love Dietlicious. The meals are tasty and well flavoured and I'm so pleased to be able to purchase meals that I choose myself so I can eliminate the meat and stick to fish/chicken....and that you do meals for a single person. Wonderful and less expensive than buying the food myself without the waste.. It always arrives when due and I like being able to recycle the styrene container. Its a win win.

Perfect for vegetarians! – I've just completed the 5 day vege cleanse and ordered the 5 day lunch & dinner veg plan. I absolutely love the flavours of the vegetarian meals/snacks. Unlike some of the other reviews, I had no issues ordering online, and the box was delivered on time. I can't wait until my next meal and lost almost 2kg in 5 days!
