Sorry if this is long. I spent the last few years totally neglecting my own health while trying to care for my elderly parents. After they both passed away, and I recovered my own life a little, I realized the years of constant stress and total neglect had resulted in significant weight gain. I tried to diet on my own and was not very successful. Then, I tried another famous diet program that provides prepared meals, but I still didn't get the results I expected or desired. I saw that Bistro MD had a menopause program, and since I'm 60 years old, I decided to give it a try. I bought the entire program, including snacks, so that if it didn't work for me, I would know it was not because of user error. I have to say, I am delighted with my results so far. After being on the program for five weeks, I lost 15 pounds (that is great for me). I'm a pretty picky eater, but I've found that, with the choices available, I can get meals that I like and that totally satisfy me. Only recommendations if you are thinking of trying it: 1) make sure you have enough freezer room (since all the meals are frozen); 2) understand that you need to choose your menu in advance (when you first begin, you will need to make your week 2 choices before you have sampled all of your week 1 meals). I'm very happy to have chosen BistroMD and I plan to continue for a while.

Food is pretty tasty. Portions are small, but your stomach adjusts in a couple of weeks. Snacks are useless and tasteless. I'd rather eat my own fruit, yogurt, etc. between meals. Since I don't like spicy food, I had to go through the choices and eliminate a lot. Veggies are pretty limited, mostly green beans, cauliflower, and eggplant. It's great to be able to grab a meal from the fridge, pop it into microwave and, since all meals require same cooking time, enjoy quickly. Food comes in a big awkward box which is hard for me, being handicapped, to get into the house. Wish there was a way to package the meals in a smaller box or something with handles.

I was told if I customized by a certain day I could get what I wanted. However I got shipped random things that I can’t even eat due to allergies.

Delivery was problem this week usually comes on Tuesday it is now Thursday. My dear is food will not be frozen when arrives

The food has been great! BistroMD makes it easy to lose weight. Definitely would recommend for anyone who is looking to lose weight.

Most food is good but the blackened spices are terrible. I’ve many of fish and chicken with blacken spices and they surely never tasted bad. Someone needs to reevaluate those dishes

I'd say about 99% were good to very good...made changes in my selections once I tried what you sent at least once. Very good plan for someone that will try about everything

Great healthy food and variety. A little expensive but willing to pay more for fresher less processed food.
