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.

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.
