Will Balance Box work for me?

As there are not many options regarding calorie allowance it will depend on how much weight you need to lose.

However, anyone who follows a strict meal plan at 1200/1800 calories is likely to lose weight. As long as you don’t deviate from the planned meals and snacks you are given.

As a much cheaper option than their sister brand, Balance Box may work for you if you’re willing to pay £19.99 per day for your meals.

There is not a huge amount of information on the Balance Box website regarding weight loss, and how much you will lose as I’m sure they are aware everyone is different depending on BMI and how much weight you would like to lose.

All people are different and will need a different calorie allowance to lose weight safely.

How much weight will I lose?

There is no claim on the Balance Box website of how much you should expect to lose.

Weight Loss Resources’ View

Balance Box is a great idea and the taster menu looks delicious, however, the plan seems to be more about enjoying food via portion control rather than losing weight.

You can learn about portion control without having to pay upwards of £20 a day for someone else to do it for you.

On the other hand, if you enjoy good food and have a very busy lifestyle Balance Box may be for you. As all meals can be popped in the microwave it is very convenient and provides healthy, nutritious food.

Although, no information can be seen on the website regarding the nutritional information of the meals. When losing weight it is important to retain nutrients, especially if you’re eating less.

There is also not a lot of information as to how much weight you could lose by ordering calorie controlled meals. 

As mentioned above, sticking to an allowance of 1200-1800 calories a day is sure to help you move you pounds. 

However, ultimately Balance Box provides a mid/highly priced way to follow a caloire controlled diet, something that can be done via normal food from the four main food groups by simply calorie counting.
