- The Zone diet was created by Dr. Barry Sears. The goal is to keep your ratios of food to 40 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent protein and 30 percent fat to decrease inflammation and keep insulin levels in check. Also, Zone diet meals should not go over 500 calories, and snacks should also be limited to 100 to 200 calories each.

On The Fresh Diet's meal plans, you can opt for a 7-, 14-, 21- or 31-day program. You can choose from the Chef's Choice, which allows you to exclude 8 categories of food that you dislike. Premium Choice allows you to exclude any disliked foods, and you get four choices for each meal. Prices range from $35 to $60 a day for three freshly made meals and two snacks a day. You can get a discount for prepaying on the 14-, 21- or 31-day plans.
On the Diet at Your Doorstep plan, you get three freshly prepared meals and two snacks a day on the plan. For 6 weeks of food, you pay about $225 a week, or about $9 per meal. You can also choose 6- or 7-day-week plan, but you must initially sign up for a 30-day plan to begin with. -
