Nu Kitchen Review

What You Should Know

Nu Kitchen is a meal program made famous because of its use by many A list Hollywood celebrities. Up until 2009, the plan was limited to NYC, but has since expanded nationwide to allow for a wider customer base.

There are five basic programs available from Nu Kitchen (Nu Kitchen At Work, Nu Kitchen At Home, Nu Kitchen 200, Nu Kitchen Nu Moms and Vegetarian), and proponents of the plan say that it’s like having a personal chef. Unlike the majority of meal delivery programs, Nu Kitchen prepares all food fresh the same day, rather than offering packaged, frozen meals. Nu Kitchen makes no claims that its service will promote weight loss, and is not a diet plan, though the Nu Kitchen 200 plan does include a fitness assessment and meals can be tailored for diet plans by the user.

Like other meal delivery services, Nu Kitchen is targeted to people who wish to avoid takeout, but are not extremely concerned about expenditures. Users of Nu-Kitchen can expect to pay an average of ten dollars a meal for the service, or $42 per day, which can be more than many people are capable of spending.

Product Features

Nu Kitchen offers a delivery service according to one of five plans, using freshly prepared meals chosen by members. Users of Nu Kitchen have the ability to choose the meals they want twenty-four hours before receiving the order, and decide if they want to participate in the service. Menus change by the week, to prevent customers from tiring of any particular set of offerings.

Pros

• Meals are not frozen, like many other meal delivery services.
• Delivery is now nationwide in the United States.
• Changeable menu prevents boredom.
• Vegetarians are accommodated.

Cons

• Meal delivery programs can be extremely expensive, and Nu Kitchen is no exception.
• Is not targeted as a weight loss method.
• Will not teach users to eat in a healthy way on their own.
• Does not teach portion control or meal preparation.
• Offers little to no fitness guidance to customers.
• Is not a long term weight loss solution, as users must remain enrolled in the program to receive its benefits.

Conclusion

While Nu Kitchen is probably the top of the line when it comes to fresh meal delivery services, it’s simply not a weight loss tool, though the Nu Kitchen 200 plan makes an effort to accommodate customers concerned about health. Some have successfully used it this way, since the program allows users a fair amount of freedom of choice. However, enrolling in Nu Kitchen will not teach users how to eat healthily, prepare their own meals, control portions, or get adequate exercise.

People who are interested in learning to control their weight sustainably in the long term should probably not rely on Nu Kitchen. Just like weight loss plans that provide frozen meals, this delivery service might work as long as the user is part of the plan (though it would require effort on the part of the user to make the right choices) and weight gain is likely to occur as soon as customers leave. For real, sustainable losses, it would be wiser to choose a plan that offers users learning opportunities and teaches them to take care of their own health, as well as one that is actually intended as a diet aid.
