How does Pure Package work?
Based in New Covent Garden Fruit & Vegetable Market, the food for their meals is always fresh. This does mean, however, that they only currently deliver to areas in and around London and the M25.
Food is packaged after being weighed and calorie counted for you to ensure that you receive the right portion sizes for your goals.
Your food is then delivered in a chilled box from between midnight and 6am to your house each day – there is no need to sign for it.
The breakfasts and lunches are cold meals and the dinners must be heated up. Each box comes with instructions on how to prepare each meal in the delivery.
These are the food bundles available to choose from, all are avaliable from £39.95 per day:
- Weight Loss
- Healthy Eating
- Training Support
- Vegetairan & Vegan
- Paloe Inspired
- Pre-Post Natal
- Longeevity
If you would like a more unique plan, Pure Package also offer The Personal Chef plan starting from £60 per day.
You are invited to call or email nutritional advisors to disciss your preferences and requirements to order a specific, individual plan.
How many calories do I get with a Pure Package Bundle?
Pure Package works to tailor your quota to be specific to your personal profile which is based on the details input via the online form.
This is discussed with you on the phone when signing up for your first package.

Can I try before I buy?
No, unlike Weight Loss Resources, there is no free trial. Any questions can be answered via telephone, live chat or email.
Will Pure Package Work For Me?
Pure Package is a luxury version of other food delivery diet programmes. This would explain the high price tag and its availability solely to London. The service has been used by many of the capital's rich and famous which give it great advertising power within London.
The site claims that if you stick to the plan devised for you afetr speaking with the team, and eat the complete meals delivered, you would lose weight.
There is, however, no allowance for restaurants, or evening snacks. If you deviate from the plan then your weight loss will stall.
The food sounds varied enough to keep you interested for a long period of time and once you decide on favourite meals you can ask for them to be delivered more often.
The main issue with this food delivery programme is the cost. £39.95 per day is a very hefty price tag to pay to lose weight.
Even following it for the shortest time period of 10 days is going to set you back £449.50 and following the programme for a much longer term is something that will set you back thousands of pounds.
How much weight could I lose?
Pure Package makes no claims as to the amount of weight that you could lose, as it is a gourmet meal program rather than a diet. But Pure Package say their plans are 'scientifically balanced and will get you results'.
Weight Loss Resources' View
As always, it’s a reduction in calorie intake that will shift those pounds. The Pure Package diet is yet another way to do this and might suit you if you can afford the cost of the meals.
Following a meal delivery diet service such as Pure Package could be useful to trigger short term weight loss but it is an extremely expensive way to lose weight in the long term.
Ultimately, it’s just as easy – and much cheaper – to follow a low calorie diet based on foods that you enjoy.
