Food Storage
All of InstaDiet’s meals are an ambient meal, which means they are shelf-stable. This means that they can be safely stored at room temperature. Just ensure that they are consumed before their ‘best-before’ date.
The reason why they can be stored for a long time is because of the technology used in the preparation and packaging of the meals.
First, the meals are planned and prepared by our expert chefs.
Then they are sealed in a pouch and steamed at a high temperature in a specialized machine.
Health Questions
Yes, InstaDiet offers low-calorie diet plan that helps you lose weight through a consistent calorie deficit diet in a healthy manner.
No matter how minor or major your weight loss goal is, InstaDiet helps you achieve it in a healthy and sustainable way. However, weight loss results differ from person to person, thanks to various situational and biological factors.
You do not need to work out while you are on your InstaDiet plan, as you will be losing weight anyway. However, you can incorporate some exercise into your routine for a healthier lifestyle. Even something as light as walking can have great health benefits.
Losing weight has several health benefits in general, but it is especially beneficial for those who are diabetic. However, just like any other health condition, we recommend that you consult your healthcare professional before trying to lose weight.
Rest assured, all of InstaDiet’s meals are prepared with real, nutritious ingredients and every meal and snack’s nutritional information is provided on the website so you have all the freedom and control over what you eat on your diet.
We always recommend checking with your healthcare professional in case of any existing medical condition. However, studies have shown that weight loss has a positive impact on PCOS symptoms.
We do not recommend that you reduce your calorie intake when you are pregnant or even when breastfeeding. We suggest you speak to your doctor or a healthcare professional who will be able to guide you better. You can start your InstaDiet plan once you are no longer breastfeeding, if you need to shed some kilos, but please make sure to keep your doctor in the loop on your journey.
Yes, absolutely. As a rule, your diet should include foods from all major food groups as different foods provide different nutrients. This means that the nutrient content of your plan will vary greatly depending upon your own choice and preferences.
Should you have a particular dietary requirement we always recommend you speak with your health professional for specific advice.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any vegan options at the moment.
InstaDiet does not ban you from drinking anything, as the goal is to not make you feel deprived. But it’s always better to be a little more careful while choosing drinks that are high in calories like aerated beverages and alcohol. But we trust you and your judgement, so as long as you are in the calorie deficit zone, you are good to go.

Body Mass Index
Your BMI measurement tells you if you have healthy weight for your height.
Your BMI tells you if you are at a higher risk of health problems that are associated with being overweight or obese. Thus, higher your BMI, higher the risk of health-related complications.
- If your results are below 18.5, this indicates that you may be underweight.
- If your results are between 18.5 and 24.9, this indicates you are in the healthy weight range.
- If your result is between 25 and 29.9, this indicates you may be overweight.
- If your BMI is 30 or above, this indicates you may be obese.
You should consult your doctor or medical practitioner about how to get a healthy body weight if your BMI falls outside the “healthy" weight range. If your results indicate that you are overweight or obese, you may need to reduce your weight. To achieve that, you need to get on a calorie deficit diet and incorporate exercise in your lifestyle.
InstaDiet offers delicious calorie-counted and portion-controlled eating plans. Know more about InstaDiethere.
The body mass index calculations are primarily for adults.
BMI is a useful measurement tool for most people, but it has its limitations.
- BMI does not distinguish between fat and muscles, so muscular people who are perfectly fit show higher BMIs.
- BMI does not apply to women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Indicators like waist circumference measurement and waist to hip ratio are helpful tools for gauging health risks.
