ROSWELL, Ga. - Nov. 5, 2015 - PRLog -- Roswell, GA, October 16, 2015 — In a 25-day study completed this summer, participating office workers ate eat+LIVE meals for lunch and dinner. While they were asked to make no other lifestyle changes, they still lost an average of 4 percent of their body weight, lowered their A1C levels and two participants moved their A1C from the pre-diabetic range to the normal range.

eat+LIVE, a new brand of healthy home and office-delivered meals, began shipping to over 20 Midwest and Eastern states earlier this year. Unlike other online food services, eat+LIVE meal solutions carry the exclusive Go! Healthy Foods label from the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute. Cleveland Clinic dietitians and wellness experts developed Go! Healthy Foods based on rigorous nutrition standards. Products carrying the Cleveland Clinic Go! Healthy Foods label must meet national nutrition guidelines.

“eat+LIVE meals are designed as a great-tasting solution to help people establish a quick, healthy-eating routine — in less time,” says eat+LIVE co-founder Schryse Williams. Williams started the company after struggling to provide her mother with suitable meals after she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. After that challenging experience, Williams set out to help others, especially those with diabetes, chronic heart conditions and severe obesity.

One group that has seen been positively effected by eat+LIVE meals includes busy office employees. In a 25-day study completed in August, participating workers were asked to eat the meals for lunch and dinner. They lost an average of 4.0 percent of their body weight with absolute weight loss ranging from 4.0 to 14.4 pounds.  In addition, over the same period, each sample participant’s A1C level (indicator of risk or presence of Type 2 diabetes) lowered.  Two participant’s A1C levels moved from the pre-diabetic range (5.7 to 6.4) to the normal range (4.8 to 5.6).  Meanwhile, the control saw no change in weight or negligible weight gain.

“Working with the Cleveland Clinic experts was instrumental in creating great food that could help reverse the poor diet epidemic we are experiencing in the US,” says co-founder Nekeidra Frederick. “Each of our recipes are reviewed by their panel to ensure they meet the highest standards.”

eat+LIVE meals include a careful balance of calories, sugar and sodium levels, but it’s their delicious flavors that make them truly unique. With dishes such as Tex-Mex Chicken and Southern Style Red Beans & Rice, eat+LIVE meals include everyday American favorites with flavorful infusions from regions across the country. The Cleveland Clinic Go! Healthy foods label allows customers the freedom to mix and match favorite entrees, sides and vegetables without the hassle of counting sodium or added sugar.

“The food we eat is vitally important to the body’s ability to recover from surgery, lose weight and to maintain overall health,” said Dr. Michael Roizen, Chief Wellness Officer and Wellness Institute Chair from the Cleveland Clinic, “eat+LIVE meals are an easy and delicious way for people to quickly make dietary changes while learning to eat more nutritious foods.”

Following a diet that meets the Cleveland Clinic Go! Healthy Foods nutrition guidelines will not only help people live better, but it can also help reverse some previously diagnosed conditions. All eat+LIVE meals meet the following Cleveland Clinic Go! Healthy Foods requirements:

1) Minimal saturated fat: Less than 4g of saturated fat for entrees and less than 2 g for sides
2) No trans fat
3) Minimal added sugar: Less than 4g of added sugar for entrees and less than 2 g for sides
4) Minimal sodium: Less than 600mg sodium for entrees and less than 480mg for sides
5) Only 100% whole grain

“Our meals can help a person change their life for the better — with just one phone call,” Williams said.
