You probably landed on this page because, like me, you may be interested in living a low-carb lifestyle. As someone who has experimented with different diets, I fell in love with how cutting out carbs made me feel. Whether you simply try to avoid carbs or follow a stricter version of a low carb lifestyle like the keto (aka ketogenic) diet (which has been gaining popularity in recent years), the benefits can be great. According to experts from Harvard, diets like low-carb and the ketogenic diet has been known to help with weight loss, improve mental clarity, increase energy levels and even reduce the frequency of epileptic seizures in children. 

When I first  started following a low-carb diet, I felt discouraged. Adapting to a ketogenic diet was quite a challenge for me. I've always loved food, but when I had to cut the carbs and increase healthy fats, I felt overwhelmed. I love food, you see. It was difficult to embrace these new dietary needs which involved learning about low-carb alternatives, planning out, and cooking my new meals. 

I had to learn how to measure net carbs, scan menu items at restaurants, and prep pre-measured ingredients for my low-carb recipes. I hated that meal planning became more demanding than ever with my busy schedule. To find the right low-carb products, I also had to be mindful of scanning every ingredient on nutrition labels. I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss when thinking about all the delicious foods I would have to give up!

That's when I stumbled on low-carb meal delivery services, so I thought I’d give them a shot. I was hoping they would take some of the stress off my plate (pun intended!), but honestly, I still ended up doing a ton of work. Even with these meal kits, I still had to go grocery shopping, make a few dinners with their pre-portioned ingredients, and still have to fend for myself and, well, my low-carb restriction for the rest of the week. These meal delivery services either didn't have healthy meals, lacked a diverse menu, or didn’t have high-quality, natural ingredients. Plus, they didn’t always have high-quality ingredients, and they rarely catered to other dietary needs like high-protein or plant-based. Let’s just say, I was left feeling pretty frustrated and disappointed.

That’s when my friend mentioned Hungryroot. She raved about it as the one solution that she’s been able to actually stick with for preparing low carb meals. She couldn’t stop talking about how delicious, simple, and quick their nutritious meals were to prepare and how they offered wholesome, pre-prepared produce too! She told me she finally got a hold of her time back, and I, too, was excited about that potential.

Low Carb Meal Delivery: Is there a better alternative?

I have always been on the lookout for an alternative to low-carb meal delivery companies. Ideally, one that had a vast selection of natural ingredients and delicious, low-carb recipes, all without having to step foot into the grocery store. That’s when Hungryroot caught my eye. It seemed like the perfect choice providing a broad range of low-carb options, and fresh ingredients, all in a price range I could afford. They even offered a discount on my first delivery, so I took the plunge and that was the start of our love affair.

After taking their personalized quiz, I quickly got low-carb recommendations for groceries and delicious recipes. I could even filter further by my other dietary needs.

They had a wide variety of dairy alternatives and easy-to-make low-carb options. I knew I would never get bored with their rotating menu and broad customization options. With a click of a few buttons, I curated my first box. I opted for some of my favorites like Ribeye Steak + Cauliflower Mash, Keto-Bun Grass-Fed Cheeseburger with Sauteed Onions, and Juicy Chicken with Cauliflower Mash. And as someone with a sweet tooth, I was thrilled to find Jumbo Blueberries and Hu Kitchen’s Organic Cashew Butter Dark Chocolate Bar as tasty, low-carb desserts. I loved that they offer recipes and high-quality ingredients for a variety of dietary requirements like plant-based and gluten-free meals.

Oh, when my first box arrived at my doorstep, it felt like magic! Instead of just sending a few ready-made meals, Hungryroot packed a whole bunch of low-carb products and healthy ingredients that transformed into easy-to-make, delicious meals all in one box. And the best part? I could also reuse the ingredients across multiple low-carb meals for the week. I was able to cover my breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even snacks while stocking up my pantry with high-quality ingredients and extra protein. I didn’t have any food waste and was surprised by how easily I stuck to a healthy meal plan. I didn’t have to stress about trying to be low carb anymore – I simply was! 

What I loved most were their low-carb recipes. They aren’t only delicious, but also super easy to whip up. Everything that arrived came with detailed recipe cards, so all I had to do was toss everything into the oven or pan, and viola — my nutritious, keto-friendly meal was ready!

Now, I can confidently say living a low-carb lifestyle has been fun, and enjoyable. For once, I'm thrilled to step foot into my kitchen every day. I don't stress about meal prep, searching for low-carb meal plans, and scrutinizing labels. I finally found a solution that surpasses any keto meal delivery service I’ve tried before. So, here’s a heartfelt thank you to Hungryroot!

Low Carb Meal Delivery FAQ

• What does it mean to be low carb?

As someone who has embraced a low-carb lifestyle, I've come to understand that being low-carb means eliminating the majority of carbs and processed foods from my diet. The idea behind a low-carb diet is that by cutting back on carbs, I could encourage my body to use stored fat as a source of energy instead. There are various types of low-carb diets out there from very strict ones like the ketogenic diet or moderate ones like the Atkins diet. If you choose to follow Keto, I recommend increasing your healthy fat consumption so your body has a good amount of energy. If you’d like to learn more about eating low carb, here’s a resource from Stanford, and we recommend reaching out to a medical professional or a registered dietitian with specific questions. Personally, I think it’s important to find a way of eating that works for you and makes you feel good and satisfied.
