The Top 5 Keto-Friendly Meal Delivery Services In Australia

Fast forward to today and the keto diet is commonly used as an effective way to lose weight, reduce hunger, and improve type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome. A keto or ketogenic diet is basically a diet that’s low-carb, moderate protein, high-fat, and full of veggies. For many, it’s a diet to lose weight, but for others, it’s simply a lifestyle choice.

If you follow a keto diet, Mealprep has put together a list of the top 5 Australian keto-friendly meal kit providers to help you choose the right one for you and your needs. We based our list on the following criteria:

• Cost: What’s the cost per serving?
• Keto focus: Does the company cater exclusively to keto diets, or does it also offer meals for other diets?
• Customisation: Can you personalise your order?
• Subscription: Do you need a subscription, or can you buy on an as-needed basis?
