ShareThis time the Supermarket Chefs Diet Plan is designed for people who shop at Tescos. This series of plans aims to provide the convenience of getting a diet food delivery service, at lower cost and with more control.
Incorporating a healthy selection of Tesco ready meals and single serving products, it's a quick and simple way to ease yourself into portion control whilst still getting a nutritionally balanced diet.
Price wise, this plan comes to just under £50. This is cheaper than most deliver-to-door diet plans.
