Why Does MyChef Exist?

Welcome to MyChef! We understand that the concept of a meal delivery service may be new to some, which is why we’ve created this easy-to-read manual to help you navigate the world of healthy eating with us. Our goal is to make your life simpler, healthier, and happier through delicious, balanced meals.

Six years ago, MyChef came to life in Prague, where nutritious, sugar-free, and gluten-free options were scarce. In a world where fast food reigns supreme and health issues are on the rise—such as obesity, diabetes, and even cancer—we recognized the growing need for quality food that nourishes both body and soul.

While we all aspire to eat well and live healthily, modern life often gets in the way. The reality is that most of us simply don’t have the time to shop for fresh ingredients or cook multiple meals every day. That’s where we step in! MyChef is designed to provide you with fresh, nutritious options that fit seamlessly into your busy lifestyle.

### Why Order From MyChef?

Here are some compelling reasons to consider MyChef for your healthy meal needs:

- Save Time: Forget about planning menus, grocery shopping, meal prepping, cooking, and washing up. We’ve got it all covered!

- Cost-Effective: Creating a balanced meal every day can be costly and time-consuming. Our service not only saves you money but also reduces stress, allowing you to focus on what truly matters in your life.

- Daily Freshness: All our meals are prepared daily using fresh ingredients. We ensure that they are nutritionally balanced, providing you with everything your body needs.

- Sugar-Free Meals: Sugar is a major culprit behind many health issues, with studies showing its link to everything from weight gain to chronic diseases. Our meals are naturally free from added sugars—especially when it comes to our breakfasts and desserts—to support your health journey without sacrificing flavor.

- Life Balance: Whether you’re balancing work, family, or hobbies, our meals are crafted to help you maintain a well-rounded lifestyle. Burnout is real, and we want to help you avoid it!

### How to Order & What’s Best for You

Ordering from MyChef is a breeze! Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

1. Choose Your Program: All our meal programs are designed without sugar and gluten to support your health journey. Sugar intake has been linked to severe health issues, including cancer, so we prioritize these dietary restrictions.

2. Select Your Ideal Plan: We offer five tailored meal programs:

   - Detox (3 or 6 days): Kickstart your health journey with a cleansing detox, perfect after indulgent festivities.

   - Healthy Balance: A well-rounded, nutritious meal plan for those looking to maintain their weight without the pressure of quick fixes.

   - Low-Carb: Ideal for those looking to reduce carbohydrate intake. This plan focuses on the benefits of reduced carbs, which can lead to weight loss and improved energy levels.

   - Vegetarian: Our vegetarian meals are not only incredibly nutritious but also increasingly popular among our carnivorous clients.

   - Flexitarian: A balanced approach offering flexibility in meat intake while still focusing on health.

3. Personalize Your Order: Have specific dietary preferences or mild allergies? Just let us know in advance—there are no extra charges involved!

### Delivery & Pick-Up Options

We understand that traditional delivery isn’t for everyone. While we work towards innovative pick-up solutions, we currently offer:

- Flexible Pick-Up Points: Collect your meals at our 24/7 pick-up locations with just a code, or choose from various locations around the city with convenient hours.

- Delivery Flexibility: Afternoon or evening deliveries are available, but we recommend caution with morning deliveries, especially if you order breakfast.

- Special Delivery Requests: Share any unique delivery needs when you order, and we’ll do our best to accommodate them.

### Meal Preparation

To ensure you enjoy our meals to the fullest, we recommend transferring the food onto a plate before heating it, either in the microwave (without foil!) or in the oven.

### Important Notes

- Pause Your Plan: Need a break? Let us know at least two days in advance, and you can pause your program for up to 15 days.

- Weight Management: It’s essential to select the right calorie intake based on your activity level, height, weight, and relationship with food. Unsure? Contact us for guidance.

- Health Over Quick Fixes: Our philosophy emphasizes long-term health and wellness—not just temporary weight loss. If you're preparing for an event, our detox programs can help you feel your best.
