Diet boxes have become essential in recent years. They work on a simple idea: deliver everything you need directly to your home to follow a specific meal plan.

Their promise? To help you lose weight without the hassle. Generally, these boxes include pre-portioned meals for each meal, which you only need to complement with fruits, fresh vegetables, and sometimes dairy products, according to the recommendations provided.

To go even further in support, some offers include guidance from a food professional, such as a dietitian-nutritionist and a fitness coach. This duo makes it possible to personalize the program according to your needs and maximize your results.

However, not all boxes are equal. To help you see things more clearly, we conducted an in-depth study of the 7 main weight loss programs, compared according to 3 criteria.

Brands tested and compared: Cheef, Comme J’aime, Dietbon, KitchenDiet, La Brigade de Vero, Qilibri, RegimeBox.

1. Best Weight Loss Program 🥇

Qilibri is a French brand launched in 2019, which stands out for its meal-balancing programs. The offer adapts to different goals, whether to lose weight or simply adopt a more balanced diet on a daily basis.

At Qilibri, the meals are cooked in France using carefully selected ingredients for their quality. All meals are guaranteed GMO-free, free of colorings, and free of artificial preservatives.

The Nutri-Score of the dishes ranges from A to B. The meat used is of French origin, and the vegetables are prepared according to the seasons, which ensures optimal freshness when they are added to the dishes, as well as a balanced nutritional intake.

The program includes 4 meals a day  – breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner – over 6 days a week, for a calorie intake between 1,200 and 1,300 kcal per day.

With a choice of 85 main dishes and 33 breakfasts and snacks, Qilibri offers great variety, thus limiting monotony, which is often demotivating in this type of program.

Laurent Trochain, a Michelin-starred chef supports Qilibri in the creation of its recipes.

The dishes are cooked and then canned, which allows for storage at room temperature for several months. All that’s needed is to reheat them in the microwave or in a bain-marie before eating them.

Qilibri is not limited to meal delivery: it also offers dietary supplements, which can help support a weight loss goal as part of a balanced diet, like the Qilibri program. These are included in the Qilibri Boost offer, a low-carb program designed for slower metabolisms.

People who have followed the Qilibri Boost program report an average weight loss 18% greater than with the Qilibri Expert program (see the independent AFMCM study. Results may vary from person to person).

To complement the program, access to a mobile app is included. It allows users to track their results, manage their meals, and receive personalized advice to improve their diet.

Monthly support with a dietitian is also included. This support helps personalize the program, offering recipe ideas and adopting new sustainable eating habits.

In addition, access to the TrainMe platform offers a wide selection of video fitness classes, suitable for all levels.

Thanks to its many benefits, the Qilibri program was named Product of the Year in 2023, nominated for the Top Santé and Marmiton 2025 Awards, and is now Top Santé 2026 First Prize winner.

On social media, Qilibri is quite popular on Instagram, with more than 8,000 followers, and well followed on Facebook with nearly 23,600 followers. In addition, a private group bringing together more than 2,300 participants allows users to share their experiences and stay motivated throughout the program.

On Trustpilot, Qilibri has an average rating of 4.6/5 based on 2,600 customer reviews. Most users highlight the quality of the meals and the professionalism of the support. However, a few comments mention occasional errors in orders.

Customer service is very responsive by email: the information provided is clear, and the responses are precise.

A study conducted by the independent firm AFMCM on a sample of 9,054 customers found results averaging as much as −5.4 kg as early as the first month with the standard Qilibri Expert program (results depending on adherence to the program and may vary from one person to another)

2. Best alternative

Cheef, created in 2020 in Lille, offers two different ranges to suit consumers’ needs and preferences: a classic plan based on shelf-stable meals and a catering-style plan with fresh dishes prepared each week.

According to an Odoxa study from November 2025, the average weight loss observed among Cheef customers is -5.1 kg as early as the first month, even though results may vary from one person to another.

Cheef lets you choose between several plans depending on your pace and goals. You can opt for 2 to 6 meals per day, over a period of 4 to 7 days per week.

Cheef offers more than 150 dishes and 50 breakfasts and snacks.

In the catering plan, meals are prepared each week in Lille, following the seasons. You can choose from 22 dishes each week, as well as 30 breakfast and snack options, which ensures a wide variety and reduces monotony.

The classic plan offers monthly delivery, while the meal-prep plan offers weekly or biweekly delivery. In the latter case, a 5-euro discount is applied, but the meals must be kept in the freezer to preserve their quality.

In addition to meal delivery, Cheef provides support from a certified dietitian, who adjusts the program based on your needs and remains available to answer your questions. The brand also offers live or replay fitness classes to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine.

A private Facebook group with more than 8,500 members lets you share your progress, ask questions, and find moral support. A significant advantage for staying motivated.

The strengths mentioned include the quality of the meals, the responsiveness of customer service, and the personal support.

Their weight-loss programs start at €4 for the first month for the Classic version and €17 for the first week for the Meal-Prep version

Unlike other services, Cheef does not offer automatic renewal at the end of the commitment period, thus offering more flexibility to its customers.

A dietitian supports customers with a 40-minute dietary assessment at the start of the program, then a follow-up of 20 minutes after 15 days and every month depending on the duration of the program. This follow-up aims to maintain motivation, adjust the program if necessary, and encourage lasting habit changes.

In addition, online yoga, fitness, and pilates classes are offered on demand, providing a comprehensive approach to improving health and well-being.

To strengthen engagement, a Facebook group, “Kitchen Family”, brings together more than 4,200 members, allowing users to share their experiences and find support from the community.

5. Véro’s Brigade

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

Véro’s Brigade stands out for its 100% homemade dishes, guaranteed to contain no additives or preservatives. The recipes change with the seasons and are prepared from fresh, local, and sourced ingredients.

A major strength of the brand is its transparency: every ingredient used is traceable, and most of the products come from southwestern France. This transparency is highly appreciated, as it provides a guarantee of quality and reliability.

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

• A low-carb or high-fiber program 
• A vegetarian program.
• A pork-free or fish-free formula

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

Meal delivery is carried out once a week in a refrigerated truck, ensuring the freshness of the dishes.

Véro’s Brigade’s standard program provides a daily calorie intake of 1,200 kcal. To cover each client’s specific needs, it is recommended to complement the meals with fruits, fresh vegetables, and dairy products.

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

6. Like I Like

Founded in May 2010, Comme J’aime is a French brand specializing in meal delivery “ready to use” to support weight loss. It has established itself as a benchmark in the field thanks to a significant media presence, notably with television advertisements 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 concern specific dietary restrictions, 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 to be free of GMOs and preservatives. The meats used are of French origin.

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

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

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

• A mobile app that lets you track weight changes, access advice, 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 communication.

The brand benefits from 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 from over 4,800 reviews. The positive points mentioned include the quality of the meals and the professionalism of 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 effectively. However, we were also able to note a sales approach that can sometimes be pushy.

7. Box Diet

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

Unlike Comme J’aime, Régime Box allows you to select meals before payment is confirmed, 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 clearly defined composition: 1 breakfast, 1 prepared dish for lunch, 1 snack, 1 soup, and 1 freeze-dried bagged meal for dinner.

In addition to meals, Régime Box offers an initial assessment with a weight-loss coach and personalized follow-up provided by a dietitian, helping 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 taste of the dishes not being to their liking, the lack of variety in the menus, and recurring delivery issues.

Régime Box lacks visibility on social media, with only 18 followers and a virtually inactive page. On the other hand, customer service is very responsive: despite the phone line sometimes being busy, advisors call back quickly and answer questions clearly.

In our view, one of Régime Box’s main advantages is its competitive price.

Methodology and criteria for the comparison

The product rankings are established by our editorial team, based on objective criteria (nutritional value of the meals offered, customer experience, safety, and reliability). The methodology and FAQ were prepared by Maxime Mességué, a dietitian-nutritionist, who serves as a scientific expert. Product data was collected in January 2026 on the brands’ websites. Prices and features may change.

To create this comparison, Maxime Mességué identified 3 qualitative criteria based on the characteristics of the programs. Each criterion is scored out of 5, and the average of the 3 scores determined our final rating and ranking.

1. Nutritional quality of the meals offered

One of the key points to consider is the content of the meals. I recommended analyzing the nutritional quality of the meals according to 6 sub-criteria: their format, the quality of the ingredients, their origin, the absence of additives and other controversial elements, the variety of meals offered, and the inclusion of specific options.

• Meal format: These come in different forms: freeze-dried pouches, canned dishes, or fresh meals. Among them, fresh meals stand out for their better nutritional density, offering a higher content of vitamins and essential nutrients. This is a characteristic to prioritize in the comparison.
  
  
• Ingredient Quality: In addition, I suggested carefully evaluating the quality of the ingredients used, with particular emphasis on fresh products from short supply chains or organic farming. This choice highlights not only nutritional qualities, but also the environmental impact and traceability of meals.
  
  
• Origin: When brands specify the origin of the ingredients, this, in my view, provides an additional guarantee of transparency and reliability.
  
  
• Additives: Another key sub-criterion is the absence of additives, GMOs, and artificial colorings, ensuring healthier meals that better meet the expectations of health-conscious consumers.
  
  
• Diversity: The diversity of the menus offered must be carefully examined. A varied meal plan is essential to avoid monotony and cover all nutritional needs.
  
  
• Specific Options: The integration of specific options, such as dishes suited to vegetarian or gluten-free diets, reflects particular attention to dietary restrictions and consumer choices.

2. Customer Experience

The user experience is not limited to the simple content of the boxes, but encompasses the entire journey offered by the brand. That is why I suggested analyzing the customer experience in light of 4 sub-criteria: the presence of an app, follow-up by health professionals, access to a mutual support community, and the inclusion of fitness classes.

• Application: For example, some companies provide a mobile app. This can be very useful for choosing meals and tracking your weight changes, or for receiving real-time advice.
  
  
• Support from professionals: The program may also include regular appointments with professionals, such as dietitians or fitness coaches, which adds a human and personalized dimension to the support.
  
  
• Support community: In addition, motivation tools, such as community support groups on social media, help strengthen user engagement. These groups, often found on Facebook, allow people to share their successes, exchange advice, or simply find moral support, which can make a big difference in the success of a weight loss program.
  
  
• Fitness classes: Finally, the program may offer access to full fitness classes, via pre-recorded videos, or access to a partner platform, with live classes or pre-recorded video classes.

3. Seriousness and brand reliability

The reputation of a brand plays a decisive role in choosing its box. That is why I propose analyzing the brand’s reliability according to 5 sub-criteria: the company’s founding date, social media presence, the number of customer reviews and the rating, and customer service responsiveness.

• Customer service: customer service responsiveness should be evaluated by sending an email to support. The faster or slower, and more or less complete, response is, in our view, indicative of each company’s greater or lesser level of commitment.
  
  
• Creation date : Brands with long experience in the market generally inspire more trust, as they demonstrate a certain longevity and an ability to evolve with consumer expectations.
  
  
• Social media presence : I recommend taking into account their presence and reputation on social media, by looking at their number of followers.
  
  
• Number of customer reviews and final rating: Customer reviews left on Trustpilot provide valuable insights into user satisfaction and the quality of the meals and service.

Weight loss programs: FAQ

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

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

In addition, weight gain is often a symptom of an underlying problem: poor understanding of nutritional needs, an impaired relationship with food, metabolic imbalances, etc. While weight loss boxes are effective in the short term, they do not address the real causes. That is 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 the goals. Results may be visible within a few weeks if the program is well suited, and can vary from one person to another for the same program.

What should I do if I do not get the expected results with a weight loss program?

Weight-loss meal plans are generally very low in calories. If you are not losing weight, it may be due to excessive consumption of food outside of the planned meals or to a metabolic disorder preventing 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 methods that are too restrictive or 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 you avoid regaining weight after finishing a weight-loss program?

To avoid yo-yo dieting, it is essential to:

• Maintain healthy 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, cravings, and hunger and fullness cues, without frustration.

Are weight-loss programs suitable for everyone?

No, each individual has specific needs. A program should be personalized based on health status, goals, and lifestyle. This type of program is not recommended for people suffering from eating disorders.

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

Yes, overly restrictive diets can cause deficiencies. It is better to choose balanced programs that cover all your nutritional needs. Prepackaged or freeze-dried meals, often used in these programs, are generally low in vitamins, which are destroyed during preparation. It is therefore 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 is strongly recommended. A professional can make sure the program is suited to your health condition and goals, and thus avoid any unnecessary risk.
