Qilibri: My Opinion After 1 Week of Testing (2025)

Presentation of Qilibri

In our IFOP survey conducted in May 2020, we found that the French gained an average of 2.5 kg since the beginning of the lockdown. Many are looking for support to lose weight!

Qilibri offers a personalized dietary rebalancing program to sustainably establish good eating habits. It was voted Product of the Year 2023, which is a real assurance of quality in an increasingly competitive market.

Qilibri is aimed at those for whom shopping and meal preparation are synonymous with chore and who wish to have guidelines for dietary rebalancing.

Weight Loss Program

Overview

Qilibri offers dietary rebalancing programs whose duration varies depending on each person’s weight loss goals. 

Ready-to-eat meals are delivered by parcel and cover all meals of the day: breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner. However, additional foods (fruits, vegetables, and dairy) must be added for optimal nutritional intake. 

Qilibri delivers meals for 6 days out of 7 per week. More than fifty dishes are offered.

All dishes are:

• cooked in France
• non-GMO
• free of artificial coloring
• free of artificial preservatives
• Nutriscore A or B

The program includes one free day during which you can draw inspiration from what you tasted in previous days and also let loose!

In addition to meal delivery, the program includes sports coaching and dietary follow-up.

Focus on the weight loss assessment

To get my program recommendation, I answer a online questionnaire to obtain my weight loss assessment.

In addition to classic information like gender, age, height, and weight, questions broadly cover my lifestyle, such as my level of physical activity, motivation, and nutritional knowledge.

The algorithm then compares my profile with thousands of others who have already lost weight to recommend the ideal program for my weight loss goal.

I finally have the option to choose all my breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinners by selecting the dishes I want.

My program will then be refined with my dietitian during my first consultation.

Our test

Product: ★★★★☆

I was able to test a week of the Qilibri program, here’s what I thought.

The meals

I received a package with the week’s meals including:

• 1 packet of crunchy chocolate muesli
• 6 white chocolate crunchy snacks
• 12 prepared dishes in trays
• 1 water bottle
• 1 bar of milk chocolate

The chicken & vegetable medley is certified organic. The cardboard packaging is recyclable. The plastic trays can be recycled in more than a third of French municipalities.

Prepared dishes can be reheated in the oven, in a bain-marie for 12 minutes, or in the microwave for 2 minutes. 

To enhance the visual appeal, I transferred my dishes to a nice plate to make them more appetizing (in their tray the dishes were not very attractive..). I also added some fresh herbs for decoration and to boost vitamins and minerals. 

The dishes are varied and include fish, meat or vegetarian options. The sides are diverse (wheat, lentils, rice, vegetables, pasta, etc.). The dishes are less flavorful than fresh meals, but a real effort is made on seasoning.

Some examples of dishes received:

• Sliced chicken with mustard and lentil duo
• Cod with vegetables and bulgur
• Bolognese lasagna
• Chicken with olives and quinoa
• Cod with dill sauce and rice duo
• Falafels and bulgur with cumin

The number of calories provided per day by Qilibri dishes is about 1400 calories. I found the dishes satisfying.

When I had an intense sports activity scheduled, I made sure to supplement my meals with something like cottage cheese or a banana. 

Since these are vacuum-packed dishes, it’s important to supplement the menus with fresh fruits and vegetables to have a more significant vitamin intake.

It is also necessary to add dairy products, such as yogurt, cottage cheese or a portion of cheese.

By scrutinizing the labels, I noted the presence of thickeners or stabilizers in some dishes. These are food additives also known as texturizers.

Sports Coaching

As part of my program, I have access to live classes with the Train Me platform. They are delivered by certified coaches. I can choose between sessions like Zumba, stretching, Pilates, gentle hatha yoga, CAF, and gentle fitness.

About fifteen classes are offered each week. They are done via video conference, and teachers can correct our postures if needed. We can even interrupt them if we have questions.

The teachers encourage students throughout the session, and I found that this created good collective motivation!

Dietary Monitoring

The dietary monitoring is provided by a certified dietitian. Its aim is to avoid the yo-yo effect and to understand the basics of healthy eating to establish good practices.

The follow-up is generally done by phone every 2 weeks. I can contact them by email whenever I want.

During the first call, the dietitian presents the program and the contents of the packages. They also inquire about any possible conditions (cholesterol, diabetes, etc.).

They gave me plenty of advice on essential points for initiating weight loss and adapted to my profile to give me additional recommendations.

They also asked about my eating habits (meal frequency, plate contents, hunger management…). 

I was able to ask all my questions, for example about adding bread to my meals. Answer: if I already have a substantial intake of starchy foods in my dish, I can do without bread.

They also gave me tips to cope with snacking, etc., and told me that I could have a small glass of red wine occasionally with my meals.

This first call is followed by follow-up calls and empowerment calls which are crucial in the weight stabilization phase. 

Finally, there is a support community: “the Qilibri Circle”. This is a closed Facebook group where you can ask questions related to the program, nutrition, or weight loss. Dietitians also share recipes there.

Price: ★★★★★

The price of the Qilibri program is progressive depending on the duration of commitment. It is possible to try the program for one week for €120.

Here is a table showing the different prices:

Price	1 week	1 month	2 months	> 3 months	> 4 months	> 6 months	> 8 months
/month		€436	€396	€356	€316	€276	€279
/week	€120	€109	€99	€89	€79	€69	€69.75
/day	€20	€18.2	€16.5	€14.8	€13.2	€11.5	€11.62
/meal (*)	€5	4.5 €	4.1 €	3.7 €	3.3 €	2.9 €	2.9 €

(*) based on 4 meals per day (breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner) and 6 days a week

I have made a comparison table of the minimum and maximum monthly prices offered by Qilibri and several competitors.

Price / month (04.21)	Qilibri	Kitchen diet	Diet bon	Régime box
6-month plan	€276	€356	€276	249 €
2-month plan	€396	476 €	€396	350 €
1-month plan	€436	516 €	€436	399 €

• Kitchen Diet does not offer sports coaching via online classes. Their meal offer is developed by a 3-star Michelin chef and includes support with a dietitian and an online coaching tool.
• Régime box offers meal delivery and a nutrition education component.
• Diet Bon offers dietary support and sports activity videos. 

The price of the Qilibri offer, which includes meals + live sports coaching + dietary follow-up, is particularly attractive compared to the prices offered by its competitors.

The delivery of Qilibri packages is free at home, and costs 5 € per package for relay point delivery. Delivery time is approximately 5 business days after the order date.

There is a referral program that allows the referrer to enjoy a 40 € discount.

Transparency: ★★★★☆

All meals are made in France. The list of ingredients for the meals and the nutritional values are available on the brand’s website.

The origin of foods is sometimes mentioned. Beef is French, chicken meat originates from the EU or non-EU.

However, for example, the origin of tuna or hake is unknown. Qilibri could further pursue a transparency approach by specifying the geographical origin of all meat and fish products.

Qilibri was founded in 2019 by Bastien Moreau and Antoine Chabassol. Bastien contributed to the development of Jumia, a large e-commerce group. Antoine is the founder of Label Box, a major player in subscription boxes. The company currently has 35 employees.

Qilibri raised 2.9 million euros in November 2019 to finance its growth, accelerate hiring, and offer new services. Investors include Day One Partners, Financière Saint James, Guibor, and DN Capital Seed Fund among others. 

Expertise: ★★★★★

On the website, a dietitian presents the benefits and reasons why a dish was included in the offer.

On the brand’s blog, the Qilibri mag, there are articles on weight loss, nutrition, well-being and health, fitness, and recipes. The articles are written by dietitians.

Currently, 6 graduate dietitians are working with Qilibri. They are involved in the dietary monitoring of people who have opted for Qilibri programs.

Several experts contributed to the creation of Qilibri’s programs, including Clément Baubant, dietitian-nutritionist, Anne-Laure du Val, psycho-nutritionist, and Lauren Haddad, nutritionist. They were trained at the School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition.

Popularity: ★★★★☆

I conducted an analysis with the SimilarWeb tool to examine the traffic on Qilibri’s site. It totals more than 125,000 visits in March 2021. Qilibri has over 12,000 followers on Facebook and more than 4,400 on Instagram.

On the website Trustpilot, Qilibri received a rating of 4.5 out of 222 reviews. Reviews highlight the quality of customer service listening, the taste quality of the dishes, and the adaptability options based on preferences. They also emphasize the dietitians’ support in learning healthier eating habits and their kindness.

Trust: ★★★★★

To contact the customer service, you can send an email to contact@qilibri.fr or fill out a contact form on the website. You can also reach them by phone at 09 75 18 07 84 from Monday to Friday.

It is also possible to contact Qilibri via Facebook. I asked these questions to customer service:

• Where are your meals cooked in France? What standards or certifications has this production site obtained?
• What is the process for preserving the meals?
• Does this method of preservation significantly deteriorate the nutritional qualities of foods (vitamin content, etc.)?
• What is the origin of the tuna, veal, and hake in your dishes?
• Is there a preferred reheating method (microwave, oven, or bain-marie) to preserve the nutritional qualities of the dishes?

Here are the answers I received:

I received answers to my questions quickly (in less than a day). The answers I received were clear.

The production of the dishes is done in France according to the IFS standard (food production safety and quality) and Ecocert for organic products.
