“I have been on the Kcal extra plan for four months and it has been a great journey, I lost 16Kg! Like every journey it started with a lot excitement and motivation. I met with the Kcal team and they created a plan to fit my needs and regularly called me to make sure everything was going fine. It was not always easy but I was able to focus on my goals. Four months later I realize that without the team's constant support I would have given up a while ago. Thank you Kcal.” *

”I have started using Kcal Extra as my go to ready to go meal plan for the past four years. Every year after the festive season I go back to my Kcal diet for 1 month and lose the 3 kg I tend to take on when I'm happily care-free. Kcal Extra has made it easy on me, the choices and the quality that I get out of it are amazing. The best part? It works. I recommend it to all my girlfriends.” *

The way my daily meals are designed by my nutritionist makes it much easier for me to tackle my day and avoid any impulse purchases. I thought that I would be thinking about food all day long, but really the only time I do is when I open the door to go to work and I pick it up. Results? 3 weeks in, 3 KG out. *

“I look forward to my Kcal delivery every morning, there is always a treat; either a new dish to try or one of my favourites. For me, it's important to have healthy food with the right balance of protein, carbs, fibers etc. Kcal is able to provide this with such a wide variety of different dishes that I would never be able to create myself.” *

”It has been an amazing journey with Kcal. Over 2 months, I have lost around 12 kgs, I’m very satisfied, I can wear my fave suits now without any struggle. Also, the very wide variety of meals prepared for me every day was really enjoyable, tasty and healthy. Massive thanks to Kcal for keeping me committed to my weight loss journey and for helping me achieve my desired goal of getting fit physically and mentally.” *
