Fitness Gourmet PH

If you're always rushing to go out and can't find the time to prepare meals at home, this is something worth checking out!




Being a foodie, I’m often out attending restaurant launches and other food events that I seldom get to eat regular food at home. It can be difficult to manage all that additional weight, especially since I have a desk job on top of my blogger duties, so the time I’m not spending eating out are usually spent in the office or at home, working on the blog.

Last month, a friend of mine introduced me to Fitness Gourmet PH - a diet food delivery service offering weekly healthy, delicious, and calorie-controlled meals. "We are all about helping people lose or gain weight the healthy and more convenient way and breaking the barriers to healthy eating. We eliminate the most common reasons to avoid eating healthy such as the lack of time to shop, prepare and cook healthy food and count calories."

“We also break the common misconception that healthy food tastes bland if not unpleasant. Fitness Gourmet prepares and delivers perfectly portioned, nutritionally balanced and delicious meals and indulges people’s taste buds and cravings without the guilt. Our clients are able to lose/gain weight, eat healthy and eat conveniently without feeling that they are missing out on the food they enjoy.”

Since the beginning of October, I have been under one of their diet programs, specifically, the 1200 low calorie meal plans. This includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner and one snack for five days (Monday to Friday) for Php 1,800 plus delivery fee. All their meals are proportioned, not just in the 300-calorie-per-meal kind of way, but I’m talking about macronutrients proportion. Here’s the breakdown for the low calorie plan: 55% carbohydrates, 20% proteins and 25% fats.

I knew dieting was difficult, but I didn’t think it would be this complicated. I mean, knowing the calorie count of each meal is one thing, but the macronutrients proportion? Wow. The Low Calorie Meal program is recommended for individuals who are first time dieters or who want to achieve their desired weight in a healthy way.

 According to Fitness Gourmet, average results are 1-2 pounds off per week. That didn’t happen in my case, but that’s entirely my fault. Throughout this whole process, I continued to attend events, so I wasn’t really expecting any weight loss, to be honest.

Although, I did notice that after over a month of consuming these healthy, proportioned meals, I seem to have been eating less on a normal basis. My body has adjusted to eating just a small amount at a time, compared to before when I was on a “seafood diet” (all the food I see, I eat haha). I’m just kidding. But seriously, Fitness Gourmet has helped me in more ways that I expected. At this point, I've also noticed that some meals have already repeated, but I completely understand, because coming up with these meals is no easy task.

Fitness Gourmet PH co-owner and Executive Chef Bob Labayne heads the continuous development of their recipes and creativity with the menus. He earned his Diploma in Professional Culinary Arts in Global Culinary and Hospitality Academy in 2011 and was a member of the Gold Medal Team in the Student Division of the First Philippine Culinary Cup. Chef Bob crafted his culinary career with prominent restaurants such as Ninyo Fusion Cuisine, Torch Restaurant and Pino Kitchen Studio before partnering with fitness enthusiast and businesswoman Sam Sotto De Guzman to put up Fitness Gourmet PH.

With the culinary team, Chef Bob ensures that every pack of food delivered to your home is both pleasing to your eyes and satisfying to your taste. He believes in following the basic procedures when cooking, and also adding fun and play into the dish. For him, every dish must be a Fitness Gourmet dish.

Fitness Gourmet currently offers three (3) diet programs which are available in 1200 to 1800 calorie meal plans: Low Calorie Meals, High Protein Meals and HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadtrophin) Meals. They will also be launching another product soon, the RX Meals, which will be for people with health conditions and specific diet requirements.

Personally, I loved not having to worry about what to eat for weeks since Fitness Gourmet supplied me with the balanced meals that I needed to get through each day! I've heard of diet delivery services that provide tasteless dishes, but this one is different - definitely worth a try, guys! ;)
