Editor's Verdict:

Go Lower is a UK based premium food delivery service which aims to encourage its dieters to lose weight by following a simple, gym-free meal plan, delivered weekly to their homes. Go Lower prides itself on providing its customers with the opportunity to get slim by eating tasty, all natural foods, as opposed to the powders or shakes which are favored by other companies (and from which dieters naturally find it difficult to transition back to real food). We were particularly impressed by this appreciation of the long term that seems to permeate the service provided by Go Lower. The Go Lower diet is also advocated by Dr. Hilary Jones, the medical expert on the GMTV morning television show.

The Go Lower diet program is based on a diet casually referred to as the 'caveman diet'. This diet prompts the body to enter a state of ketosis, that is, the body burns fat reserves to create usable energy, resulting in rapid weight loss. This 'caveman diet concentrates on just a few key elements - protein (from meat and chicken), good fats (from nuts and seeds) and specific carbohydrates (from leafy vegetables and low GI fruit). Go Lower works on a five-phase program, intended to support the dieter throughout their association with the Go Lower diet. Firstly, your personal Go Lower consultant will explore what you want to achieve with the diet, most notably what your weight loss goals are, and then personalize your program to match these desires. The second stage of the program is where customers eat only Go Lower meals, and vegetables, thus ending a reliance on starchy, carbohydrate rich foods. During this period, dieters see a substantial weight loss as well as beginning to feel more energized. In the third and fourth stage, Go Lower begins to introduce snacks and treats, both to improve motivation and develop how the body copes with the introduction of small amounts of carbohydrates. During this period, users begin to transition away from the Go Lower food deliveries, beginning to cook meals for themselves from a set of Go Lower recipes. By the time that dieters reach the final stage, they are ready to discuss how to maintain their new healthy weight with a nutritionist and transition fully into cooking for themselves to maintain their new weight.

Go Lower customers can also get access to a range of additional features which will no doubt prove useful, especially as users begin to transition away from eating just the meal deliveries. From the beginning of the program, dieters have access to the recipes from which the Go Lower meals are cooked ' thus encouraging dieters to cook these meals when the meal deliveries end. The Go Lower site also hosts a member forum, so that users can discuss their experiences of the Go Lower program with other dieters. Dieters can also use a great Eating-Out guide, to help them make smart restaurant decisions that won't break the diet. With all this, and an average weight loss of 2-3lbs per week, Go Lower is an excellent way to lose weight.

The Go Lower program operates in a similar fashion as many of the other meal delivery diet programs available on the market today. What we liked, though, was the fact that Go Lower emphasizes to dieters that there is a life outside of the Go Lower program, and takes steps to ensure that when the program ends, dieters will be fully equipped to cook healthy, balanced meals for themselves. The range of useful tools and choice of payment options also makes Go Lower an excellent choice if you're looking for a meal delivery plan in the UK.
