Diet Direct is an online marketplace offering meal plans and food designed to support weight loss. Its subscription diet plans – Basic, Core, and Premium – include daily meal replacements and cater to low-calorie, low-carb, high-protein, and keto diets. It also sells items for specialized needs, including gluten-free and diabetic-friendly foods.
Diet Direct’s platform allows for some customization, such as selecting meals and flavors, though ingredient-level personalization is limited. Users can filter by dietary needs and preferences. The service provides a diverse menu of main courses, snacks, shakes, and desserts. Popular offerings include Protein Tomato Soup, Creamy Macaroni & Cheese, and Chocolate Caramel Mug Cake.
Products are quick to prepare, often within 10 minutes, and some don’t need any prep at all. Prices range from $9.99 to $16.99 for main meals, with substantial discounts for subscribers and bulk purchases. Shipping is free for orders over $79 within the mainland US, and packaging is recyclable.
Customer service is available via chat and email, though I didn’t always get an answer when I contacted them. Unused or partially used items can be returned within 30 days for a refund or exchange. It’s also easy to cancel your account.
While Diet Direct offers convenience and variety, its meals rely heavily on processed ingredients, and it lacks robust vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian choices. Alternatives like BistroMD for prepared meals or HelloFresh for fresh meal kits may be better for those seeking international cuisines or greater customization.
Diet Direct has main courses, desserts, and snacks from various brands on offer. It also provides supplements designed to boost your overall health. You'll also find a variety of refreshing and hot drinks, among others, on its menu.
You'll find products of several brands on the service's website. These are WonderSlim, BariWise, Fast Boost, Snackergy, Bariatric Choice, Sna-Keto, Save.Dog, and WonderFit.
Diet Direct offers 3 diet plans for you to choose from:
Basic
Core
Premium
The number of daily meals should be your primary factor regarding these programs. If you opt for a 4-week box, the Basic plan provides 4 WonderSlim meals per day. The Core plan comes with 5, and the Premium includes 7 daily meals. Also, Core has more perks than Basic and fewer benefits than Premium.

Diet Direct’s selection can vary depending on what it has in stock. If you're looking for a more consistent dining experience, check out our list of the top meal delivery services. The services on that list offer a variety of meal styles at a range of prices.
I noticed some Italian recipes among Diet Direct's main courses. But I don't think the company caters to fans of international cuisines. If you prefer eating food inspired by acclaimed international cuisines, check out HelloFresh, which is among our favorite US meal delivery services.
Recipes you can find on the company website are ready-made. So you typically won't need much time to prepare them. Their serving time is up to 10 minutes, depending on the product type and recipe. Note that you may need to stir and regulate the heating temperature while preparing some of them if you don’t use a microwave.
The company provides various filtering options within each product category. That way, you can focus on finding suitable options among hundreds of products. Some filters you'll find between different product types are Category, Calories Per Serving, Protein Type, and Brand.
