EDINBURGH, Scotland, October 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Diet Chef is launching a new scheme called Diet Together, which encourages people to lose weight and adopt a healthier lifestyle with a friend or family member.

There are so many benefits to having someone else dieting with you. Those trying to lose weight are more likely to succeed if they have the help and support of a loved one. Whether it is a spouse, partner, friend or family member, having another person to provide motivation and inspiration along the journey is a great way to help shed the pounds.

This is why Diet Chef is giving customers the chance to save money when they order two hampers. All people need to do is place a second order on top of their own food and they will receive 20% off both hampers. To get the discount, they need to enter the code TOGETHER at the checkout.

The offer applies to any pay monthly Diet Chef hamper and customers can start losing weight right away. People can set themselves targets and celebrate together when they meet their goals, making dieting easier and more enjoyable.

Liz Dale, Marketing Director, said: "Many of our customers have told us of how they teamed up with a friend or family member and did Diet Chef together.  It's not only been husband and wives but mother and sons, mother and daughters that we hear from, and we wanted to offer them a tailored promotion to help."

Diet Chef is a calorie-controlled diet food delivery meal plan that teaches people about portion control and how to lose weight the healthy way. All of the meals are created by an expert chef and delivered straight to customers.

There are three meal plans to choose from - four months, three months and two months. People fill in a personal profile to see whether they should be on a 1,500 or 1,200 calories-per-day plan. All they need to do is choose the meals they want and how many months' worth of food they wish to purchase - it couldn't be simpler.

Diet Chef carefully counts the calories of all meals so dieters on the plan will be averaging less than 1,200 calories per day. The daily menu allows you to get delicious home delivered food, as well as offering a tasty and varied, healthy balanced plan encouraging dieters to enjoy losing weight at a healthy pace.

Those on the diet looking to check their own progress can do so using the weight loss calculator and Free BMI calculator as well as sharing their weight loss success stories via the website or Diet Chef social media channels.
