ModifyHealth Review

 

ModifyHealth is a meal delivery service that provides chef-prepared, ready-to-eat meals and is available nationwide. It focuses on the Mediterranean diet, which is deemed one of the healthiest thanks to its high fiber content and healthy protein sources such as fish. The second type of diet ModifyHealth caters to is Low FODMAP. This diet helps you determine what foods are detrimental to your digestive system and avoid them by choosing healthier alternatives. All ModifyHealth meals are gluten-free.

You can customize your weekly menu by excluding certain allergens and choosing low-sodium recipes or plant-based meals, for example. ModifyHealth’s meals are nutrient-rich, non-GMO, low in sodium, and organic. The company says it doesn’t use refined sugars, artificial colors, or artificial flavors.

Overview

ModifyHealth works like any other meal delivery service that offers weekly plans. You start by choosing your desired plan. There are two options – FODMAP and Mediterranean. Then, select the type of sub-plan and you’ll immediately see when your first order is set to arrive and how many meals are included.

You can customize your plan with the number of breakfasts you want to receive. You also have the option to add dietitian support. The service costs $99 (one-time fee) and includes up to three consultations.

The next step is to specify your allergies and food preferences. The options you can exclude are soy, salmon, tofu, eggs, dairy, chicken, red meat, pork, white fish, shellfish, and bell peppers. Then, start selecting your meals, and proceed to checkout. 

ModifyHealth Menus

The menus this company offers are well-balanced, packed with healthy nutrients, and tasty. Some examples from the Low FODMAP plan include Garden Beef Frittata, Blueberry Rice Porridge with Almonds, Scrambled Eggs with Sweet Potato & Bell Pepper, Beef Skillet with Cabbage & Sweet Potato, Herb Roasted Fish Filet with Squash & Rice, Orange Braised Beef with Mashed Potatoes.

Some of the meals currently included in the Mediterranean plan are Balsamic Chicken with Quinoa, Artichokes & Tomatoes, Baked White Fish with Quinoa & Vegetables, Chicken and Dumpling Stew, Chili Lime Plantain with Latin Pintos and Pico, Herb Roasted Fish Filet with Squash & Rice, Sedona Stew with Kale & Quinoa, Black-eyed Pea Gumbo.

The recipes are accompanied by labels that make it easy to choose, such as pescatarian, dairy, vegetarian, or vegan. Each meal you add to your plan comes with a nutrition facts sheet that shows you its calories, vitamins, sodium, total carbohydrates, cholesterol, proteins, and percentage of the daily value. 

Plans & Pricing

The Low FODMAP Plan

This meal plan consists of fully prepared Monash Low FODMAP-certified meals that can help you control IBS symptoms. It is specially designed to cater to people who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), celiac disease, acid lipase deficiency (ISD), or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

The Mediterranean Plan

The Mediterranean diet can help you enjoy different health benefits such as improved blood pressure, lower bad cholesterol levels, or reduced risk of heart disease. You can learn more about its benefits on ModifyHealth’s website. The meals included in this plan are designed by dietitians and created by chefs.

The Low FODMAP meals start at $9.95 per breakfast and $12.95 per entrée. If you choose the Low FODMAP program, you will get a week’s meals that consist of 14 entrées or 21 breakfast and entrée meals. The program’s price starts at $180 per week.

The Mediterranean plan’s prices start at $12.95 per meal. This plan allows you to choose as few as six main entrées per week. There is also a Mediterranean program that consists of a weekly supply of 10 or more meals, including breakfasts and snacks. This plan starts at $120.50 per week.

You can skip meals or cancel your subscription whenever you want to. The plans are customizable, and you get to choose new meals each week, which ensures a diversified diet.

Shipping

ModifyHealth offers free shipping in the U.S. Regardless of the number of meals you order or your subscription length, shipping is always free.

Bottom Line

ModifyHealth is a great service if you love the Mediterranean cuisine, you want to change your diet to tackle some digestion issues, or you simply want to live a healthier life. The ingredients are carefully selected and the meals are balanced and diversified. However, note that there are only two meal plans to choose from, each order must include a minimum of six meals and none of the recipes include gluten, which can be a bummer if you like bread.
