Diet-To-Go Review

 

The only sure-fire way to lose real weight and not just water weight is to follow the strategy of eating a healthy, balanced diet with exercise. No gimmicks. Keep it simple. To that end, meal delivery services are extremely effective at helping you lose weight. Just eat their food, add some exercise and you'll lose weight, guaranteed.

The real battle of weight loss is mental, so by taking the confusion and daily stress of what to eat out of the equation you can focus on what matters most. I followed this strategy when I lost 75 pounds and it has served me well to this day, 16 years later.

When it comes to chosing a meal delivery services, Diet-To-Go is a decent option. By most accounts, they are the best tasting of the diet meal delivery services. Diet-To-Go is an actual fresh food production company who owns their own kitchens, in stark contrast to competitors like eDiets and Bistro MD, who outsource their food production. Diet-To-Go claims to not freeze-dry or "soft can" their food. The meal samples we received were frozen.

The meals are slightly more expensive than Nutrisystem, but it's pretty clear there's a big difference in taste. Our main beef with DTG is the poor cooking directions and labeling. Microwaving didn't seem to work at all with the samples provided to us. Cooking the meals in the oven is somewhat of an adventure as well, but if you get it right the food is surprisingly good.

Their website is simple and straight-forward with 3 choices: low-fat, low-carb, and vegetarian. Each week you receive 21 meals, pre-prepared, and they include all the side items like fruit, fresh vegetables, condiments like mayo, yogurt, smoothies, fresh cream cheese, muffins, bagels, jam, fruit juice, etc... No other diet meal delivery service does that.

In the end, the biggest problem with meal delivery services is they face a very steep uphill battle against the ease, low cost and vast array of frozen food choices at your local grocery store. Learn more
