I enrolled with this program with slight trepidattion as I've tried other programs and couldn't eat the food. Every meal I've had from BistroMD has been outstanding! The portions are substantial - you will be full. The vegetable sides are fresh and desserts/snacks are scrumptious Weight loss is about 1 pound per week. In addition, the staff has always been responsive, polite and helpful.

I did some internet research before deciding to try BistroMD, versus other meal delivery programs, because the food was supposed to be better tasting and well portioned, thus worth the cost. What I realized quickly was that I was really going to have to try everything - things that sounded appetizing weren't always so in real diet-meal life. For me, every soup was delicious, but every beef option was somewhat gristly and bland. The chicken seemed a bit rubbery, like it had been soaked in buttermilk or a brine before cooking. Green beans are used so often that, because I'm allergic, many were unavailable to me, but there were still many options left to pick from. Customer service is very good, as long as you can call during their business hours, the people there are friendly and helpful. I am a night shift worker, and remembering to call right when I got up was difficult. Some things they will handle by e-mail, others require a phone call. For me, the frequency of delivery became too much. I've seen an "every other" option (every other week, every other month, etc) with other delivery services, but that is not available with BistroMD. You'd have to call in every time you want to hold off on the next delivery, and make sure you do it by the right day or else you'd miss the cutoff and receive another delivery, whether or not you have room in your freezer, or anyone else's freezers. I'm glad I gave it a shot, but I don't think meal deliveries are right for me. I think I received 6-7 deliveries before deciding to cancel. If you're considering signing up, try the split pea soup.... You won't be disappointed!

I am on an every other week 5 day meal program and I love it. I can tell when I don't eat any BristoMD meals in a day. If I don't have a meal thawed in the fridge over night and fix a frozen one I can slightly tell a difference in the taste of making a frozen one over a thawed one. The meal is still good, but a little more "soggy" than a thawed one. I'm glad I found this good program

As a woman of " a certain age" I find it increasingly more difficult to shed that extra 10 to 15 lbs. that years ago seemed much easier to lose. After trying a number of other diets and plans, I returned to Bistro MD, a plan I had used successfully a few years back. I found the meals to be fresh tasting, convenient and satisfying. I rarely felt the gnawing hunger pains associated with other diets. The food choices were varied and well prepared. Best of all the weight came off, slteadily and consistently. I would definitely use this system again, if needed, and have already recommended it to friends and family.

I needed to lose weight... at least 50 pounds. I was sluggish, depressed, and ached all of the time. On top of that, I found that I have sensitivities to gluten. After researching online, I found Bistro MD. I was drawn to the idea that not only would my meals be calorie controlled, but I could choose the gluten-free option as well. The food came, I quickly decided on my favorites, and have been receiving shipments for 6 weeks now. I chose the snack option to help get me thru the day and love them!!! I make the Java shake, freeze it and enjoy every afternoon!! I weigh only one time per month (because I hate the scale), and the first month I lost 12 pounds, felt more energized, required less sleep, and am moving more like someone my age should. I love this program!!!

I don't have to think about or prepare meals, the food is delicious and different every day so I don't get tired of it, the portion sizes are just right- I don't feel hungry or deprived of anything. It's not super strict- I can have the snacks they provide, coffee and limited amounts of wine which most diets don't allow. It's not a fad diet where you are expected to lose weight very fast (and often times gain it all back later)- it's gradual, healthy and I'm very happy with it so far. I usually can't stick with diets cause I get sick of them or feel deprived in some way- this diet allows a cheat meal each week also that helps with social gatherings where I'm most likely to cheat anyway. I love trying different dishes that I've never had before. Also I don't waste food like I have when preparing my own meals- veggies that perish quickly, etc. And it comes right to your door! Can't get any easier than that! This is definitely a diet I can stick with!

It's a great program. The staff are friendly and helpful. In the past 3 1/2 months I have lost 20 lbs.

Bistro Md has exceeded my expectations in all areas: The Company, Taste & Quality of the food, and in their Customer Service. I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism years ago - since then I have steadily gained weight every year. I tried everything - nothing worked - I just could not do it on my own. I have only been on the program for a few weeks, but already can see the results - the weight is coming off. My only regret is that I did not start this program earlier.
