5. La Brigade de Véro

Founded in 2017 in the Montpellier region, La Brigade de Véro offers fresh meal deliveries, designed to support weight loss or maintenance, while adapting to its clients’ specific needs.

La Brigade de Véro stands out for its 100% homemade dishes, guaranteed free of additives and preservatives. The recipes evolve with the seasons and are crafted from fresh, local, and responsibly sourced ingredients.

A major strength of the brand is its transparency: every ingredient used is traceable, and the majority of the products come from southwestern France. I really appreciate this transparency; it offers a guarantee of quality and reliability.

La Brigade de Véro offers a wide range of programs that adapt to each individual’s dietary goals and preferences. Among the available options, you can choose, among others:

• A low-carb or high-fiber program 
• A vegetarian program.
• An option without pork or without fish 
• An adjustment based on activity level (sedentary or active).

Breakfasts and snacks are also fresh and sometimes homemade or sourced from small artisanal businesses, often local. They may include artisanal pastries, dairy products, or carefully selected fruits, adding a gourmet touch to the program.

Meal delivery takes place once a week by refrigerated truck, ensuring the freshness of the meals.

La Brigade de Véro’s standard program provides a caloric intake of 1,200 kcal per day. To meet each client’s specific needs, it is recommended to supplement the meals with fruit, fresh vegetables, and dairy products.

Throughout the program, a dietitian is available by email to answer questions, adjust the program, and maintain motivation. A private Facebook group, bringing together more than 7,300 members, also allows clients to share their experiences and support each other in their weight-loss journey.

To further its health-focused approach, La Brigade de Véro offers a 4-month program that includes a blood test at the beginning and end of the program to assess its impact on health, along with comprehensive monitoring via an app.

6. Comme J’aime

Founded in May 2010, Comme J’aime is a French brand specializing in the delivery of “ready-made” meals to support weight loss. It has established itself as a leading reference in the field thanks to a strong media presence, notably with television commercials featuring well-known public figures.

Comme J’aime offers standardized 7-day programs, including 4 meals per day: breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner. However, there is little flexibility in the options offered. The only possible customizations relate to specific dietary plans, such as: no meat, no fish, vegetarian…

The meals are delivered all at once for the entire program, with no option to choose meals individually.

The offer includes 75 different dishes as well as 14 breakfast and snack options. The dishes are made in France, guaranteed non-GMO and preservative-free. The meats used are of French origin.

Lunch generally consists of a shelf-stable dish, and dinner is often lighter, with freeze-dried dishes to rehydrate, such as soups or purees. They all keep at room temperature.

The programs offer days at 1,200 – 1,300 kcal, to which it is recommended to add fruit and dairy products to achieve a balanced calorie intake.

In addition to the meals, Comme J’aime offers support to track and encourage its clients:

• A mobile app that allows you to track weight changes, access tips, and stay motivated.
• A dietary follow-up provided by dietitians and weight-loss coaches.

However, unlike other brands, Comme J’aime does not offer a community support group on platforms like Facebook. Only an official page is available, intended for brand communications.

The brand enjoys strong visibility on social media with more than 15,000 followers on Instagram and 103,000  on Facebook.

On the review site Trustpilot, Comme J’aime has an average rating of 3.9/5 based on more than 4,800 reviews. The positive points mentioned include the quality of the meals and the professionalism of the customer service. However, some recurring criticisms mention the high price of the programs and financial penalties in the event of early termination.

Customer service is responsive and answers questions efficiently. However, I did notice, in particular, a pushy sales approach, strongly encouraging the purchase of the program.

7. Régime Box

Régime Box is a French brand that belongs to the same group as Comme J’aime.

Unlike Comme J’aime, Régime Box allows users to select dishes before confirming payment, offering customization tailored to each user’s dietary preferences.

The meals offered are the same as those offered by Comme J’aime and follow a fixed format, but with a well-defined composition: 1 breakfast, 1 ready-made dish for lunch, 1 snack, 1 soup, and 1 freeze-dried dish in a pouch for dinner.

In addition to the meals, Régime Box offers an initial assessment with a weight-loss coach and personalized follow-up provided by a dietitian, to support users throughout their program.

With an average rating of 3.1/5 based on 147 reviews, Régime Box receives mixed feedback.

Most customers praise the simplicity and effectiveness of the programs offered; however, other reviews mention the bad taste of the dishes, the lack of variety in the menus, and recurring delivery problems.

Régime Box lacks visibility on social media, with only 18 followers and an almost inactive page. However, customer service is very responsive: despite the main line sometimes being busy, representatives call back quickly and clearly answer the questions.

One of the main advantages of Régime Box, in my opinion, is its competitive pricing.

Methodology and comparison criteria

To compile this comparison, I defined 3 qualitative criteria based on the programs’ features. Each criterion is rated out of 5, and the average of the 3 scores determined my final score and my ranking.

→ Access my full comparison table here (Google Sheet)

1. Nutritional quality of the meals offered

One of the key points to consider is the content of the meals. They come in different forms: freeze-dried packets, canned meals, or fresh meals. Among them, fresh meals stand out for their higher nutritional density, offering higher levels of vitamins and essential nutrients. This characteristic earns them a preferred place in this comparison.

Furthermore, I carefully assessed the quality of the ingredients used, with particular emphasis on fresh products from short supply chains or organic farming. This choice highlights not only the nutritional qualities but also the environmental impact and the traceability of the meals. 

When brands specify the origin of the ingredients, it provides an additional guarantee of transparency and reliability.

Another key criterion is the absence of additives, GMOs, and artificial colorings, ensuring healthier dishes that meet the expectations of health-conscious consumers.

Finally, the variety of the menus offered has been carefully examined. A varied meal plan is essential to avoid monotony and cover all nutritional needs.

The integration of specific options, such as dishes suitable for vegetarian or gluten-free diets, reflects particular attention to dietary restrictions and consumer choices.

2. Customer experience

The user experience is not limited to just the contents of the boxes, but encompasses the entire journey offered by the brand.

For example, some companies provide a mobile app. It can prove very useful for choosing your menus and tracking changes in your weight, or even for receiving real-time advice. 

The program can also include regular appointments with professionals, such as dietitians or fitness coaches, which adds a human and personalized dimension to the support.

Additionally, motivational tools, such as community support groups on social media, help strengthen user engagement. These groups, often found on Facebook, let members share their successes, exchange advice, or simply find moral support, which can make a big difference in the success of a weight-loss program.

3. The brand’s professionalism and reliability

The reputation of a brand plays a decisive role when choosing a box. 

Brands with a long track record in the market generally inspire more trust, as they demonstrate a certain staying power and an ability to evolve with consumer expectations. 

I also took into account their presence and visibility on social media, by looking at their number of followers.

Customer reviews left on Trustpilot provide valuable insights into user satisfaction and the quality of the meals and the service.

Finally, customer service responsiveness was evaluated by sending an email to support. A more or less quick and complete reply is, in my opinion, indicative of each company’s level of commitment.

Weight-loss programs: FAQ

Is it possible to lose weight quickly with a weight-loss program?

Yes, these boxes, based on a significant calorie deficit, can lead to rapid weight loss. However, losing weight too quickly can be harmful to health and difficult to maintain over the long term. It is preferable to opt for a gradual and balanced approach.

Moreover, weight gain is often a symptom of an underlying problem: poor understanding of nutritional needs, an altered relationship with food, metabolic imbalances, etc. While weight-loss meal boxes are effective in the short term, they do not address the underlying causes. That’s why weight regain often occurs at the end of the program.

How long do you need to follow a weight-loss program to see results?

It depends on the individual and their goals. Results can be visible within a few weeks if the program is well-suited.

What should I do if I don’t get the expected results with a weight-loss program?

Weight-loss meal boxes are generally very low in calories. If you are not losing weight, this may be due to eating too much food outside the planned meals or to a metabolic disorder that prevents weight loss. In that case, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate support.

Are weight-loss programs safe for your health?

Well-supervised and personalized programs are generally safe. However, avoid overly restrictive methods or those not validated by professionals. Restrictive diets are ineffective in the long term, can lead to nutritional deficiencies, and may contribute to the development of eating disorders.

How can I avoid regaining weight after finishing a weight-loss program?

To avoid the yo-yo effect, it is essential to:

• Maintain good eating habits,
• Engage in regular physical activity,
• Work on your relationship with food.

It is also important to adopt new eating habits by listening to your needs, your wants, and your hunger and fullness cues, without frustration.

Are weight-loss programs suitable for everyone?

No, each individual has specific needs. A program must be personalized according to health status, goals, and lifestyle. This type of program is not recommended for people with eating disorders.

Do the restrictive diets in weight-loss programs lead to nutritional deficiencies?

Yes, overly restrictive diets can cause deficiencies. It’s better to opt for balanced programs that cover all your nutritional needs. Prepackaged or freeze-dried meals, often used in these programs, are generally low in vitamins that are destroyed during their preparation. Therefore, it’s important to add fresh fruits and vegetables at a minimum.

Should you consult a doctor or a nutritionist before starting a weight-loss program?

Yes, it’s strongly recommended. A professional can make sure the program is suited to your health status and goals, thus avoiding any unnecessary risk.
