Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the quick delivery and found the meals tasty. We appreciate your suggestion regarding lactose-free options. While we don’t currently have plans to expand our range in that area, we truly value your input and will continue doing our best to offer delicious meals for a variety of dietary needs.

I’m so disappointed with the change in…
I’m so disappointed with the change in flavour to the meals I ordered this month, the strawberry shake is now very bland and doesn’t taste of strawberrys anymore and the green vegetable soup I feel tastes more like a thin potato soup and has a nasty aftertaste which is very powdery. Such a shame that the company has seen fit to make any changes to there products, as I have always enjoyed the flavour so much in the past.
It would have been good to have known about any changes in advance before ordering.

Hi there,
We’re glad to hear that you’ve been enjoying our programme.
We've recently partnered with a new manufacturing team. This change was driven by our commitment to improving consistency and availability—meaning fewer out-of-stock items and a more reliable experience for you.
In addition, this partnership enables us to expand our range over time, offering new flavours and more variety, while maintaining the standards you expect from us.
We understand that some have noticed differences in taste or texture. Please know that the new recipes were carefully tested to ensure broad appeal and improved palatability. While we recognise they may not be exactly what you're used to, they were developed to better meet the needs of a wider range of participants.

Stay clear!
This was via the NHS route for diabetes reversal.
Wanted to give it 100% soDid it and followed the plan to a T. And I did lose weight just over a stone. Over the few weeks. And my blood sugars went down.
And then when you get to the next stage and start re introduce you start to realise that what ever you do you will start to put on weight again and your blood sugar will go back up again and you start to have real food.
The only reason you lost weight is because you where eating less then 800k each day - less the WW2 prisoners had in Japan.
Then when I started putting weight back on after stopping the packets and started eating real food, I got told I would have to re-start or get kicked off the program.
When you ask questions that are off there scripts you get told customers service will come back to you, but they never do.
Then they changed the ingredients in the package with out informing anyone, I ended up having an allergic reaction and my legs swollen up and damaged my foot so I was not able to go to the gym anymore and in a worse place then when I started.
This is where habitual was really bad, the only reason you would change you’re product would be to make them cheeper but this was done at the cost to your customers by making the products taste worse and just appalling.
As I was not able to attend the meetings I was then kicked off the course as I did not attend as they did not want to deal with the issue and have there numbers messed up and for people to realise that the products are gross and only work if you stave yourself and the risk of your own health issues.
Stay clear of this horrible product and poor service

Hi Craig,
Hope you're well.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand your concerns, but we’d like to clarify that while we provided the products for your plan, the rest of your programme such as the structure, support, and medical guidance was delivered by another provider via the NHS pathway.
Our program is separate from the NHS diabetes reversal pathways, and our approach, and support may differ significantly from what you’ve described.
If you’d like to learn more about how our plan works, please visit our website for full details.

Some website issues but delicious products
For me the payment took three attempts to go through and the NEWSTART code did not work but fortunately I found another on their Facebook page which was successful. Once ordered, delivery was very quick (next day), the products are delicious and some of the best tasting meal replacements I have had, and they were well packaged. I hope they decide to get a phone number to speak to someone directly when there is a problem. They do respond to messages but of course there is a delay. It led to alot of initial frustration and I think it could put people off.

Does work
I had to go vegan in beginning and there was 1 shakes, 2 soups and a porridge available. It gets boring very quickly. However perseverance is key, after 12 weeks and a complete diet overhaul I do have normal blood glucose levels and my lfl are normal for 1st time in 10 years! 3 stone lost too! Thank you.
The new formula soups and porridge are a nightmare to blend and the banana porridge isn't as tasty.
I still struggle to eat at different times so i will be ordering more shakes again though.

The speediest delivery
Wow, delivery really was next day for my taster samples. Not overly impressed with the banana milkshake taste but for the sake of my health I’ll just down it in one or two. I hope I get the choice to try a different flavour next time. I will try the other samples on Monday although I’m kinda not looking forward to the spiced carrot soup only because it has sunflower oil as an ingredient and I don’t do any oils, except Olive

Pen shipped to wrong address (my fault) and then lost when going back to the pharmacy. I am only in town for a few days but the care team were able to sort it out and get it sent to me before I went away. Thanks to Rebecca and Suidi for their help.

Would be nice if you’s did more flavours of porridge
