Frequently Asked Questions
How does Healthy Heart differ from the Zone or Atkins?
We focus on healthy, portion controlled meals and avoid the gimmicks of low carb diets. Our meals are low in saturated fat and low in sodium and we use healthy carbohydrates such as whole grain, multi grain and whole wheat in addition to fruits and vegetables. We believe in a healthy, balanced approach to eating.
Why are you about half the price of other meal services?
By using state of the art packaging technology we are able to send 3 days of days of fresh meals at once and save in both delivery and production costs which we pass on to the customer.
Does everyone eat the same food?
No. For each delivery of 2-3 days there are 9 choices breakfast as well as 9 choices for lunch and 9 choices for dinner. For those of you on our 1350 or 1550 calorie plans, there are 6 snack options per delivery as well. Some people choose different meals for each day while other people have favourite meals and order them more than once. Our menu works on a six week cycle so there is lots of variety.
What if I don't like certain foods?
Not only do you have 9 choices per meal but you can also "Mix n Match" your meals. As long as you order a minimum of 3 breakfast items & a maximum of 3 dinner items you can order whatever other combination of meals that you like to reach your total of 9 meals per delivery. Because our meals are portion controlled, all of our meals are interchangeable
What if I want more Breakfasts or Lunches?
We are happy to offer more menu flexibility than any other service. As long as you order a minimum of 3 breakfast items and a maximum of 3 dinner items per 3 day delivery, then you can order whatever other combination of meals that you like.
Does it matter when I eat my daily food?
Eat when your body tells you to eat, when you feel hungry. If you prefer to eat smaller portions more frequently then feel free to split your meal in two.
How long will my Healthy Heart Meals meals remain fresh?
Your Healthy Heart Meals are freshly prepared and then packaged using special technology (atmospheric replacement system) which keeps your meals fresh for an extended period of time. Although your meals will stay fresh for over 5 days we suggest that you eat all of your meals before your next delivery. Many of your meals can be frozen if you need to keep them for an extended period of time.
What if I am travelling and don't need meals?
You can "Start" and "Stop the program as often as you like. All that you have to do is call us or go online and "Book Off" directly.
What should I drink?
For those who don’t want to ingest any additional calories then we suggest six or more glasses of water each day. Low fat milk (Skim or 1%) is a great alternative but keep in mind an 8 oz glass contains 90-110 calories.
How much weight will I lose?
Unless you have a very unusual medical problem, weight loss and weight gain is a matter of caloric intake vs. caloric usage. If you take in more calories than you use, you will gain weight. If you take in fewer calories than you use, you will lose weight. Exercise is a great way to increase your caloric usage.
I ordered the 1150 calorie plan although my doctor said that I should have 1500 calories per day. What should I add?
A glass of low-fat milk is always an excellent choice. Other healthy choices may include the following: (numbers are approximate, see label when purchasing)

70-100 calories: One serving of fresh fruit
40-60 calories: One cup air popped popcorn
100-200 calories: One cup yogurt
100-150 calories: One half cup frozen yogurt
80-120 calories: One medium baked or boiled potato
40-100 calories: One cup green vegetable
55-90 calories: One slice whole grain bread
90-110 calories: Low fat milk
Should I choose 1150, 1350 or 1550 calories per day?
It depends on your caloric needs. Our 1150 plan provides three nutritious meals and still gives you the flexibility to add your own snack(s) if necessary. If you’re busy, our 1350 or 1550 calorie plans include a snack and thus might be a better choice. We suggest that you consult your physician to help you determine what is best for you.
If I lose weight on Healthy Heart Meals, will I keep it off?
The honest fact remains - if you eat or drink more calories than you use, you'll gain weight. At Healthy Heart Meals we focus on providing PORTION CONTROLLED, nutritious meals. Studies show that individuals who focus on portion control as opposed to “Fad” diets have the best long term success rates. By using our service you get a great idea of how much food to eat which will help you whether you’re out for dinner or preparing meals on your own.
I don't want to lose weight. Can I still be on Healthy Heart Meals?
Yes. However, if you ingest fewer calories than you expend (work, exercise, etc.), then you will lose weight. We offer 1350 & 1550 calorie plans for those who need more calories or you can always supplement your meals with healthy snacks.
