Box diet

Two of my friends mentioned a box diet(škatulková dieta). However, neither of them had any experience with it. I was kind of curious and went on to investigate what it is. I believe I've picked one site on random, read through what it is about, how much it costs, did some calculations on my own, and then decided to spearhead the experience.

I've picked http://www.jezkovykrabicky.cz/ for this test, although it's possible(I'm sure) there are other providers/operators.

What is it about and the works

Box diet is a food for a whole day divided into 5 meals. It promises, or used to promise, to deliver weight loss 3-4kg in one month. This isn't the main goal of this test, though. Menu is balanced, different for men and women, and rather unsurprisingly almost every meal has vegetables as a side dish. If you have allergies or don't eat fish, there is a space for adjustments.

You can either order delivery or pickup food by yourself at one of the pickup points. You get a thermo bag with meals. There is a cooling medium inside the bag to keep the food … cool. Meals are sealed in plastic containers. I guess this could be issue for “go green” people. You're supposed to return thermo bag and cooling medium the other day in exchange for a new delivery. No, it's not a gift or included in price! Be good! :)

There is no delivery over the weekend. However, I believe you could place two or three orders for Friday. You're supposed to eat the food within 48 hours. Personally, I'm going to keep my modest diet over the weekend.

I do recommend at least some kind of exercise if you want to shed some weight. Go for a walk at least. 30 to 90 minutes a day will do.

Test subject

I hope this is going to be set of articles with some conclusion in the end. Therefore, let's set some baseline about test subject. That's me.

  • 85kg with 21.9% of body fat(estimated)
  • I do sit around all day(office job)
  • I do exercise(Freeletics) on regular basis
  • I do eat one Protein bar(60g) per day
  • I have one Coffee Latte per day on average
  • Weightloss isn't an ultimate goal of this test. Quality and sufficiency of the food is.
