While at first skeptical I decided to give it a try. I started with 3 meals a day, 5 days a week plus snacks. I stuck to it during the week and went off it over the weekend. While I was only slightly overweight (10 lbs.), the first month I really didn't see much of a change but after a consultation with their nutritionist I increased my protein snacks and then the weight melted off. I am down 17 lbs and couldn't be more pleased with the results. I cut back my meals to breakfast and lunch only and can now do my own dinners and snacks given what I have learned from their diet plan. This plan works if you are honestly working it.

I have always had trouble loosing weight. I thought how nice it would be if I had a private chef to make me healthy meals and snacks and do all the thinking and preparing. When I saw Bistro MD I wanted to try it. I easily lost 10 pounds without feeling deprived. Even when I cheat, I have managed to keep the wait off. I intend to use this program for a long time.

I think BistroMd successfully blends weight loss with healthy eating to make it a positive experience. The BistroMd program is worth trying.

I was happy with the meals & the choices. I felt full after each meal which is a big deal for me. Not every meal was great but I have found some favorites that I truly like. I have lost weight & know it could be more but my frequent traveling hinders my weight loss journey.

When I stick to the Bistro md food, I am right on target with my macronutrients. Food is a little bit bland so everyone can add their own spices and salt to their taste.

I've been really happy with bistroMD! They let me help tailor what food I'll get (great for a somewhat picky eater like myself), and then they ship it to me each week. The meals are healthy and balanced and I've already lost 35 pounds in about 3 months! All without planning, shopping, cooking. I get the time to do activities I love, while still getting healthy! Thanks, bistroMD!

The prices are 20-50% lower than other high end competitors that offer "Gourmet Food" that is no better if as good. I have ordered off and on or semi-regularly when I could afford it, since late 2010. To start with, the customer service is excellent and anyone on the call in or web-chat staff would do an excellent job for you. But I have used Adrian Gardner now for every order since early 2011 and she is fantastic. Takes the time to help me customize my meal plan and makes suggestions when new dishes come out, or if they dont have a favorite available. The food is simply amazing, it is freshly prepared by real gourmet quality chefs, flash frozen, and shipped directly to your door in a cooler on dry ice via FedEx. When it arrives the 7 day plan is 7 breakfasts, 7 lunches, 6 dinners (allowing for one cheat-night dinner a week, which is encouraged). Every meal microwaves in a matter of minutes, and I have to say I have NEVER tried a dish I would not order again, not one. And I would say I have sampled probably 90% of the offerings! Some of my favorite meals are: Beef with Red Wine Sauce, Grilled Salmon Lemon Dijon Dressing, Chicken Breast with Roasted Garlic Veloute, Talapia Orange Parsley Sauce, Thai Peanut Chicken, Mediterranean Chicken, Picadillo with Plantains, Ricotta Crepe with Berry Compote, and Stuffed French Toast! I could go on and on, there are so many more! I typically order 3-4 breakfasts and make my own the other days. This allows me to get more lunches and dinners and stretch the 7 day plan a few days longer. I do not typically order snacks, save the money, but the cheesecakes are AMAZING and worth trying!!! Now to the results, when I was able to stay on this plan consistently for about 11 months back in 2010-2011, I was able to lose over 65lbs! To give you a background on myself. I am 6 feet tall, I have a very high muscle density, and have always been overweight since about the age of 9. My body fat % hovered at 20-25% in High School but I was very fit as I was a 3 sport athlete and in Air Force JROTC. I worked out 2-3 times a day 6 days a week for years. As I got into my 20's that % got above 30, eventually pushing close to 40% by the time I started BMD. I was un-fit, out of shape, not working out, eating terribly, relatively inactive, and unhappy with myself. I ballooned to as high as 320+lbs by May of 2010. That is when I started implementing changes. That lead me to bistroMD by November of that year and this is what happened: I was eating 1-2 meals from bistroMD per day as I would stretch a 7-day order over a 10-14 day period typically. Eating bistroMD at least 1 meal a day, but often only 1 during the two or so Christmas/New Years weeks, supplemented with too much candy, cookies, treats, alcohol, and way to many fattening non-BMD holiday meals. I was still able to lose about 10.5lbs in December, and be down a total of 28lbs by February 1st. I went from about 312lbs on November 30th 2010 (right after a week of Thanksgiving feasting and leftovers), down to around 247lbs at my low weight, which I hit around mid-May of 2011 and stayed within 6lbs of that weight every day until I stopped regularly ordering in November 2011 (my last order was Nov. 4th). During this time I workedout in some way 1-3 times per week, often that was just a walk on the beach as I lived in Boca Raton at the time. I was very busy so I did not have time for intense workouts. Had I been working out intensely for 30 mins-1hr 4-5 days a week, I beleieve I would have been much lighter and healthier. Since the end of 2011 I have only been able to order meals between 1 and 8 times per year, so my weight has fluctuated and gone back up somewhat. thanks to them I will definitely never be at a 300+lb weight again! But I know I could probably get down below 230lbs if I could even get back on the program I was on in 2011, and who knows how much lower if I could afford to order meals every week and eat this way every mean every day! I spent several months in 2014 on NutriSystem, trying every offer they had and every type of meal that they had. If I could have stayed on their frozen meals 3 times a day, which were the only edible/appetizing ones, then perhaps I could have seen some reasonable results, but not what I saw with BMD, and the fact is the frozen meals they provide are full of preservatives, they are not fresh, they are not natural, and they have tons of processed meats and other food products. bistroMD offers many all natural and healthy meals and nothing they make is processed or filled with preservatives and chemicals. Also NurtriSystems meals are almost all heavy with carbs, because thats how they fill you up on 8oz's of food. bistroMD only uses complex carbs, and even tho the food quantities tend to be a little larger than NutriSystem, the calories are almost always equal or lower with far less carbs, sodium, and and sugars.

I have had stomach issues for years and as a 51 year old woman, I am that time of my life where my body has changed substantially. I've been on Bistro MD for a few weeks now and my stomach issues have essentially gone away. I took a week off as I was on vacation and was back to eating all the food I used to eat and my stomach issues returned. I'm sold on the quality of this product. I haven't lost any weight but I feel so much better. I'm hopeful the weight loss will come and am going to stick with it.
