"My name is Christine Marquette, and I'm a dietitian with the Austin Regional Clinic, and I'm going to talk to you about diet meal delivery programs. There are several different diet meal delivery services or programs national as well as some that are strictly regional. Most of these programs are very similar in nature, they'll either offer something like a heat and eat type of meal. Some of them will also offer gourmet meals, fresh products, frozen products. Definitely there is a variety depending on the meal service that you choose. Some of them will target specific diet plans such as Atkins or Jenny Craig or Jorge Cruz's three hour diet. So there's a variety of different programs available, some of them are basically health eating programs. They may be geared for someone who is working on weight loss, or they may be geared for somebody who, for example, is trying to control their diabetes or high blood pressure. So again it kind of runs the gamut you can find just about any type of diet meal delivery program to suit your needs. Typically they will deliver strictly to your home or office, but there are a few that actually have store fronts where you can go and visit their property, browse their selections, and actually pick up the items that you want. And the rates vary widely, they have rates for single meals, they have weekly plans, they have monthly plans. So there is definitely a variety of packages that you can also buy for any one of these different meal programs. So that's just a little bit of information for you about diet meal delivery programs."
