The social media and blogging gal over at Diet-to-Go came across my review of what I ate during one week on The Fresh Diet (here), and reached out letting me know that they have gone out of business (article about it here) and left a lot of their customers angry and feeling ripped off! I am so sorry to hear that and hope I did not steer anyone in the wrong direction recently – must have been a new management issue or something?!
Anyways, she let me know about a much tastier and more trustworthy company with similar offerings – Diet-to-go – “a meal delivery service that delivers meals to people’s doorsteps anywhere in the country, or allows them to pick them up fresh from fitness club partners all around the country.”
I got to experience a peek at what the menu would look like and was sent 2 days worth of food to review! You have the choice usually of receiving either 5 days or 7 days worth of food at a time, for either 2 meals a day or 3! I received 3 meals, for the 2 days, and here is a look at what I received. First off it was pretty amazing to have all the food ready to go, stacked up in the refrigerator, and each meal ready in just MINUTES in the microwave or toaster oven.
Every meal has the ingredients, cooking instructions, and nutritional information front and center.
These are perfect for dieters who don’t have time or energy to count points or calories…you don’t even need to track anything, since they have figured out 1200 to 1500 calorie days for you!
One of my favorites was the breakfast pizza – so filling and piled with eggs, cheese, sausage, and veggies, on a hearty crust. You also get a nice side of cinnamon apples to go with it!
Then the other breakfast I was provided with, was a cheesy omelet with tomatoes, along with veggies on the side. I had it quickly at work and it too is filling and nice to have a heartier breakfast then my usual cottage cheese or yogurt. Easy to heat, eat and continue to work!
The lunches included a turkey burger on a pretzel bun with orange slices and dried cranberries (can we talk about how HUGE the burger is!?)…
And I LOVED the other lunch – a small wheat roll and a chicken salad packed with peas, roasted peppers, and olives.
On to the dinners! Blackened salmon, spinach cauliflower puree, brussels sprouts, and a lemon wedge garnish. Who knew salmon could be so good heated up in the microwave! It was moist and flavorful. The puree maybe needed a pinch of salt to amp it up and I am not big on plain boiled brussels sprouts, so the sides weren’t that exciting but the salmon was a great portion size and filling.
And last but not least, the dinner I liked a bit better than this one, grilled chicken parm with veggies on the side. Don’t mind the picture – I ate it right out of the package instead of plating it like some of the other meals above 😉
Basically I am a huge fan of the food! My summary is that it is ridiculously convenient, well-rounded meals, that really do taste fresh. They stay good in your refrigerator for the whole week so you always have variety and healthy meals ready to go. It is not for everyone though – since pricing is around $115 to $170 week depending on your plan, where you live, etc. For some people, that isn’t too bad – at a rate of about 9 to 12 dollars a meal! And they have introductory offers for your first week for discounts and coupon codes on their newsletter. I know for myself, I would prefer this kind of food any day over the kinds of foods I have read about on nutrisystem or jenny craig or some of the diet meal delivery company’s available today (processed and just add water meals – yuck!).
Anyways, a big thank you to them for sending along some foods to try and a peek at what their meals are like (I must say it didn’t feel like “dieting” at all!)- I really enjoyed it!
Be sure to head over to https://diettogo.com/ and let me know what YOU think and if you will give it a try / sign up too!
Sounds like the food is very good and much healthier than the other prepared food companies. Good luck on your diet and I wish you much success!
Thanks – you are the best 🙂
Doesn’t the food go bad in the mail?
How can you mail.half cooked salmon?
What am I missing ?
It’s not that hard to just buy dish and cook it, or is it?
Do they also send cocktails? I like me a good drink before dinner..
The food comes packaged well with ice packs, in a bubble wrapped cooler overnight ! Definitely doesnt go bad and actually all the food is cooked all the way through for easy heating up in the toaster or microwave !
Fresh Diet is off my Christmas card list. More like Fresh Thieves…and their product sucked monkey chunks if you ask me.
In truth, monkey chunks may have tasted better.
I hate diets because I love steak and baked potatoes with sour cream. You like a big steak?
Bet Ken Bone, America’s new superstar loves big rib eyes. You see him on Sunday at the debate.
You shold interview him for your blog.
Be funny with something like “who wants to bone Ken Bone?”
I actually really like the diet Weight Watchers because you could have steak and a potatoe and still lose weight if you balance it with other healthy meals 🙂 Yea Ken Bone and his name and red sweater certainly became an overnight sensation ha
I don’t want to be a Denise Downer, but what good is a two day diet?
You just got back from Italy where it was nonstop cannolis, tiramisu, veal parm, Gelato, cappuccino, vinegar pork chops with peppers, linguini and clams, stuffed squid, chicken broccoli and Ziti, chicken marsala, veal picatta, spaghetti and meatballs, lobster fra diavolo, sweet and sour spareribs, bratwurst, fried artichokes, pepperoni Pizza, sausage, broccoli Rabe, grilled octopus etc etc etc…
And now a two day diet….it’s a waste of time.
Nooo its not a two day diet – they were just allowing me to sample what the diet might be like to write about it and share it here on the blog! They only offer 5 or 7 day options and they want you to do it for awhile so you actually get healthy and lose weight !
Yes defiitely had my share of indulging in Italy so when I got back it was all about salads and lean meats and getting back on track so it was good timing for them to share low calorie meal samples with me 🙂
