On the 20, 40 and 60-day goal plans, days already delivered are adjusted to the rate of the plan length completed; the cancellation terms have the details.

After you book, our dietitian calls you shortly afterwards, on every plan length including the 5-day trial. We go through your routine, goals, and what's worked or hasn't before, then shape your plan around you and fine-tune it as you go. Your meals begin on the first available delivery day.
