The Diet Fantasy, a five-year-old company based in Spring Valley, NY, has created a unique product for the kosher marketplace: a gourmet, personalized diet, with the day’s food delivered each morning to the subscriber, in a sleek, insulated bag with cutlery and a water bottle, ready to be taken to work or school. Included in each day’s delivery are three meals and two snacks.

“We are a diet gourmet meal delivery service. Our goal is to help people release weight in a healthy way,” said Orite Fried, co-owner of The Diet Fantasy with Yossi Fried.

“The food is fresh and made with all natural ingredients, and our menus change often so no one gets bored,” she said.

With a profile taken as each client initiates the program, each diet is personalized by a team of nutritionists, with the client’s specific needs and goals in mind. Portion control is key, as well as foods that maximize metabolism and stabilize blood sugar, such as whole grains, protein and vegetables. The lead Cordon Bleu–trained chef uses no white flour or sugar, no additives, and she doesn’t fry foods. The company also offers gluten-free, organic, Paleo and vegetarian meal options. The fish served is wild. “We work with people on a unique and cellular level, including people with diabetes or heart issues,” Fried added.

After evaluating the client’s height and weight, The Diet Fantasy’s team determines how many calories are required for the day to stave off hunger. Typically a client will get between 1200–1500 calories per day. There is also a list of “dislike” items that a client can indicate. A sample menu includes quesadillas with fruit for breakfast; a pear and brie panini sandwich for lunch; beef stew with carrots, purple potatoes, heirloom basmati brown rice and coleslaw for dinner; plus chocolate-covered strawberries and a fruit salad for snack.

A client can sign up for seven days, 30 days or three months of meals, with the three-month package being the lowest total cost, at about $40 per day.

The Diet Fantasy delivers every morning all over the tri-state area, with the largest concentrations being in Passaic and Northern New Jersey, the Five Towns, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Monsey. The food is certified kosher by Rabbi Zushe Blech.
