Press Release Summary: Chef Eric Paul combines his passion for food and business to
create Alter EatGo and combat the rising rate of obesity by making healthy eating
fun, convenient, and affordable.


Press Release Body: Chicago, IL, Dec 05, 2007 The Alter EatGo ready-to-eat meal
service was created by Chef Eric Paul to provide a convenient and affordable
solution to combat the rising rate of obesity within the African American community.
It is estimated that 64% of the American population is overweight or obese.
Overweight and obesity in the U.S. occur at higher rates in ethnic minority
populations such as African American and Hispanic Americans. Cultural factors that
influence dietary and exercise behaviors are reported to play a major role in the
development of excess weight. Many obesity-related diseases including diabetes,
hypertension, cancer and heart disease are found in higher rates among various
members of ethnic minorities. With the rising rate of health risks within the
African American community, there is definitely a demand for more nutritious dining
options to help consumers lead a healthier lifestyle. Finally, there is solution to
help deter the rising rate of health risks within this community and it's called
Alter EatGo.

Chef Eric Paul, Executive Chef and creator of Alter EatGo says, \"Many of my clients
simply have no idea what the proper portion size is nor do they have time to do menu
planning, shopping and cooking. Alter EatGo prepares its fresh meals for time
deprived individuals and families who want convenient, affordable, and delicious
cuisine. I am very proud that I have created a company that addresses the demand for
healthier dining options within my community."

All the Alter EatGo meals are pre-cooked so all that's needed is to re-heat in
certain instances. Their chefs will be students who are highly skilled in the
culinary arts, having been trained at some of Chicago's top culinary schools. They
incorporate global flavors to provide delectable American, Asian, Latin, Southern,
and other ethnic dishes. Their unique blend of herbs and spices combined with lean
sources of protein, heart healthy produce and whole grains, make eating with Alter
EatGo a truly delicious experience.

The Alter EatGo meal plan is simple - it consists of 21 freshly prepared healthy
meals weekly and comes in either 1200, 2000, or 3000 calories per day with an option
to choose two snacks per day. The plan follows the guidelines of USDA and health and
nutrition experts by being low in fat, portion and calorie conscious, sodium
restricted, and low in cholesterol. The menu provides variety since it rotates on a
5-week schedule, so customers don't eat the same thing twice during the 5-week
period. There are no contracts to sign or enrollment fees. The plan is very
convenient because clients can have the meals delivered to their home or office
twice each week.

Unlike fad diets, which are usually short term weight loss solutions, Alter EatGo
offers well balanced meals based on the USDA Food Pyramid system and advocates
physical activity and behavioral modification. Not only does Alter EatGo meal
program address proper nutrition, but they are partnering with fitness facilities
and personal trainers to help increase the physical activity levels of their
clients. "It's about creating nutritious meal options and advocating physical
activity so our customers can maintain their health over a lifetime", says Chef Eric
Paul.
