PHOENIX - Some of the sexiest stars in Hollywood are swearing by a weight loss tool based right here in the Valley.
Getting a sexy, trim body like the stars can weigh you down.
"Extremely difficult," agreed Danielle Boldon of Phoenix. She's a wife and working mother of two young children.
"Very busy," Danielle explained.
Like a lot of stressed out moms, Danielle's eating habits were horrible.
"I would eat a protein bar for breakfast and then go to work for seven to eight hours and within that time eat a handful of almonds and that's it all day," described Danielle. "Then come home at night and eat 900 calories right before bed."
Health and nutrition's a big part of Danielle's life, but her weight kept fluctuating until she found Sunfare .
"My energy throughout the day is amazing," Danielle exclaimed. "I'm never tired."
Danielle is now getting meals delivered right to her doorstep.
"The food's amazing," said Danielle. "It's like eating a home cooked meal everyday."
The Sunfare diet has been featured in recent magazines like "Us Weekly." Celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria and Britney Spears claim the home delivery service is their secret weapon to their sexy bodies.
"All of our produce comes in fresh every morning, our fish comes in fresh every morning," said Sunfare co-founder and CEO John Stewart.
He took ABC15 inside the Phoenix headquarters where dozens of workers prepare, pack and push out over 1,000 customized meals a day to clients in Phoenix and Los Angeles.
Sunfare's celebrity clients also include rapper/actor Ludacris who the company said is a huge fan. Sunfare Federal Expresses food to him wherever he is. Actor Mark Wahlberg is also a Sunfare client and used the meals to get in shape for his Academy Awarding winning film, "The Fighter."
"Whether it is for weight loss or just for the convenience, once people try Sunfare, they are hooked," said Stewart.
Sunfare's Signature Plan follows the "30/40/30" principle. This means that for every meal and snack you eat, 30 percent of it will be lean protein, 40 percent will be carbohydrate, and 30 percent heart healthy, monounsaturated fat.
"We want to be that personal chef," Stewart said. "We like to build an intimate relationship where we really get to know you. That way we really set it up that you have no reason to not succeed."
The food's not only appetizing, Danielle says it's affordable.
"I knew how much I was spending in the grocery store every month and how much I was spending on going out to eat and how much I was spending at Costco and when I did the math, we're actually saving about $350 a month," she said.
"We offer complete programs for breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks for $34.95 a day," Stewart confirmed.
The Select Plan is only $34.95 per day. The Signature Plan is a little more expensive, but it also gives you the luxury of fully customizing your meal plan. There are also gluten free, vegetarian and family meal plans available.
Danielle said her whole family is on Sunfare including her 1-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son.
"And they love it," Boldon smiled. "It took a minute to convince my husband because he didn't think the food was going to be great but once he did it for a week he was sold."
