Considering using a GLP-1 or other medication to address weight loss or chronic health issues?
DinnerTime Rewards is an ideal Food as Medicine program as an alternative or wraparound for such interventions, as sustained weight loss is only achieved though improved nutrition over time. And this is best achieved when behaviors become enjoyable habits, not diets or chores. DinnerTime Rewards teaches and reinforces these new habits while helping members find delicious ways to enjoy food the whole family will love.
And very importantly, you’ll learn how to save money as you eat healthier!
Don’t have an HSA or FSA or Don’t Qualify for a Letter of Medical Necessity?
That’s fine, you can still join DinnerTime Rewards and enjoy the benefits of learning to eat and shop healthier, reinforced with healthy grocery rewards each week, and supported by access to DinnerTime’s nutritionist staff. Even without the pre-tax benefit of the HSA or FSA savings, the net cost of the program (after earning back the grocery Rewards) is a fraction of other weight loss and lifestyle interventions. And leads to a lifetime of improved habits!

My mother lives with us and has type 2 diabetes and I had been recently diagnosed as pre diabetic. My husband and I both work hard to keep our two daughters healthy and happy, but money isn’t easy. This is a life-saver, both for healthy eating and for money saving. We love it and my daughters are even helping in the kitchen with their abuela !

“I have 2 little ones under 3 and I am a Type II diabetic, DinnerTime makes planning healthy and delicious meals fun!” -Lavada H (Blue Cross Blue Shield Member)
“My husband has high blood pressure and high cholesterol and I have struggled with weight loss too. Yo-Yo dieting just doesn’t work! So, building healthy habits for a lifetime is a godsend for us. And my teenage daughter is even pitching in and learning with us!” -Jamella M (Blue Cross Blue Shield Member)
“I was diagnosed with high blood pressure this past year. Through my doctors office I have been seeing a certified nutritionist to help me on my journey to healthier life choices. At my last appointment I showed her the DinnerTime website, we went through my profile and chose the best options for myself and my family. She was very impressed and happy with the meal suggestions that DinnerTime offered for my profile. My family loves the meals!” -Kirsten E (School Teacher)
“I am saving so much time in the grocery store and MONEY!!!! I feel so much more relaxed about the week knowing that every night of the week I have a dinner plan and the food to cook it without having to make a run to the store for something. Thank you for helping me and my children!” -Yasmin K (Medicaid Program)
“I was diagnosed with hypertension and pre-diabetes, medically ‘obese’, so my doctor put me on a GLP-1 and recommended DinnerTime to help me eat healthier in a sustained way. I’ve lost 50 lbs and it’s staying off after stopping the medication. My blood pressure is down and A1Cs now normal! Best part is that my whole family is eating healthier now.” -Tom H (Manufacturing Employee)
“In addition to eating healthy but delicious meals, the savings are really amazing. I did an analysis of my family food budget and we’re saving close to 40% year over year by planning more meals made at home with on-sale ingredients instead of getting takeout or eating out. The new Rewards program will enable us to save even more on groceries using pre-tax dollars. Great idea!” – John S (Financial Services Employee)
