I'm autistic and stressing about what to eat is.. well.. stressful. My husband cooked for me every night but I gained weight and wanted to be on a healthier diet. I love BistroMD. I was actually scared to try it because of negative reviews but I'm glad I did. I personally have liked all the meals and especially breakfast. I feel full and can hardly finish my meals. The snacks are great. A huge bonus is that I can now easily prepare my own meals and my husband can have a break. I'm very happy.

I started the bistromd signature plan (other plans to choose from) after I had a heart attack, and needed to lose weight. I didn't know what to expect. Well it WORKS. Not only does it work, it's delicious!!! I have lost 20lbs since I started in January 2022. I would recommend this to anyone struggling with their weight, and want something that will work.

I can’t comment on the food because I haven’t received anything yet, but I have been charged $300 already!!! $120 for my first week (still waiting) and $180 for the 2nd week. How can they charge me when I haven’t even received the first order yet??? This is definitely intentional! I’ve cancelled my “membership” with them. They won’t refund my $180 because they say it is too late, yet I still can’t pick my meals and nothing will be shipped out until next week. JUST DON’T DO IT!

My problem is with the service or the lack of service. The meals will take the weight off of you. However, they ship you out whatever they want whether you ordered it or not. And the snacks are the worst I never get what I ordered. Calling customer service does not help. They started making shakes and this is all they send you. The response from customer service when I said I don't like shakes I want what I ordered "well if you put the banana fosters shake in your coffee it is excellent" Not what I want to do. Who wants banana fosters in their coffee? They keep blaming the lack of inventory on Covid after two years I think they could fix the so-called problem So in the final analysis, as long as you don't mind paying for food and only getting a portion of what you ordered. And being told to shut up and eat it. Then this could be the perfect program for you. But if you like to get what you order, please save yourself a lot of aggravation and move on to another program.

My wife and I started this service 3 weeks ago. Each week we have damaged trays. About 15% of each delivery has torn film, damaged trays and the contents spread throughout the box. Today was the worse. All meals arrived thawed with broken trays and spoiled food leaking into the packaging.

The food is really bad- customer service was great though and canceled an upcoming shipment and my plan very easily. Too bad because I was hopeful the food would be decent. Frozen foods and water when reheated. Grocery store frozen meals are much better which says a lot

Day 4 of waiting for my food, I'm starting to suspect it may have not just have been FedEx's fault. Also, this company uses the same hidden trans fats as every other TV dinner company. Anytime you see 0g trans fats on a label they can legally hide up to 0.49g of trans fats in the food as part of the FDA (If you don't want trans fats in your diet look for labels that don't even say 0g trans fats.) There's no RDA for trans fats, they are linked to Atherosclerosis. Even the heart healthy options have hydrogenated oils. Now we just have to ask if this is neglect or malevolence. In their attempt to check all the boxes they forgot the one about giving a crud about your health. This is near 200 dollars a week to starve. Just eat healthy organic, free range, grass fed food and end this nightmare.

This is not a meal kit, so comparing it to Hello Fresh or other meal kits is like saying "I don't like this hospital because it isn't an amusement park." You need to compare it to similar items. I've done Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, and South Beach, and this food is vastly better. It's also way healthier - it has real ingredients, not soy isolates and cellulose. And if you don't like the meals they're sending you, you can go on the website and change which meals you're getting. There are over 150 to choose from, and they cover every style - African, Louisiana, French, Mexican, Italian, BBQ, vegan, you name it. I also saw a review that said someone couldn't track their current order. Not true. After the window of time for customizing closes, there's a link you can click to track your package. That being said, the website is clunky, they are currently unable to source recyclable insulation so are using plastic-enclosed styrofoam, and so far whenever I've had their eggplant it has been horrific. (Note to chefs: Eggplant needs to be THOROUGHLY cooked, or it's nasty.) But in terms of a healthy, convenient, mostly tasty meal service that will help me lose weight and provide a lot of variety in meals, it beats anything else I've found.
