This program was okay. Customer service always seemed fine to me. I gave it 5-6 weeks but didn’t lose any weight on the gluten free program so I'm discontinuing the service. I was very frustrated because doing the 5 day plan was really expensive but I tried going up to the 7 day to see if that made a difference with weight loss and it didn't, so it’s really just not worth the money. I had much higher expectations for the cost and 5 weeks is a long time to do something without any results. The breakfasts and some of the snacks were usually great but about half the dinners and lunches were just disgusting. I even missed work one day last week because a dinner made me sick the night before and it was too late to prevent the same meal from going into my next shipment based on their timing policies. The meals also have so, so much tomato sauce and some of the fish meals I've received were past their expiration dates. So gross! On the bright side, I think I really did learn about portion control and making more of an effort to add protein to my diet, and to snack less at my desk. This could be a very good way to ease into a diet on your own.

I hate frozen diet meals. I won't eat them. I was very skeptical when I ordered my first set of BistroMD meals but I have to say they were excellent. The food is very tasty with none of the aftertaste that most frozen diet food has. And the portions were surprisingly large. Chicken meals come with a whole chicken breast, not diced up pieces of something they call chicken breast. The orders arrive on time, frozen and well packaged. I wanted an excuse to quit but I don't have one. A bit pricey but not really when I compare what I spend buying and throwing away "good" food and buying restaurant food instead because I hate to cook.

I'm a female in the Army and being very short, our weight standards are not the easiest to maintain. I've watched my female coworkers try Nutrisystem and literally gag and complain endlessly about their lackluster, cardboard food whereas i'm heating up my Bistro MD and it looks like take out from a gourmet restaurant! They are all jealous that I'm losing weight, but get to eat great-tasting REAL food with so much variety that I never get bored. Prior to the Army, I paid $180+ a week to go to a "weight loss" doctor (no food included!) when I was losing weight for cheerleading and EVERYTHING I learned there is reflected in BistroMD, and that's why I believe whole heartedly in the system. Especially the use of EATS. It kills any cravings and between-meal hunger and they are fun to look forward to. Plus they are protein packed and low carb, so no guilt attached! For me it's not only losing weight and building lean muscle mass, it's also a healthy lifestyle change. Being in the Army and my crazy schedule gives me very little time to "meal prep" which resulted in lots of temptation, eating out a lot and the pounds start creeping on! BistroMD is SO convenient and so fun to customize, and having no dishes to do just puts the icing on the "cake" (preferably the chocolate cheesecake or gelato, which are AMAZING dessert options that taste like actual dessert, not diet dessert! I have to eat them when my husband isn't around cause he always asks for some!). If you're looking for absolute convenience, variety, customization (no fish for me!), without sacrificing taste- bistro MD is the only choice! I feel like nutrisystem just starves you and that's how you lose "weight" (I.e. Water weight that comes right back on when you start eating real food again). My girlfriend's meals are so depressing- bars and miniature cups of noodles + you have to provide your own vegetables and protein for EVERY meal. bistroMD is completely balanced with no work required! It makes you feel like you're not even on a diet!

Thus far, all has gone well. I enjoy the numbers of choices available when selecting my menus. The assortment is wonderful. I try to select a balance of entrees so that I get chicken, pork, beef, fish, etc. I am not bored with the same menu every week. The only downside so far is the veggies often get cold before I finish the meal.

I have been ordering my meals from BistroMD for 8 weeks now. I can't say enough good things about the program. The food is delicious! The option to customize your plan is fabulous. I have been introduced to some amazing and healthy snacks as well. I combined this eating plan with a consistent work out plan and have lost 14 pounds in just 8 weeks. I feel amazing and am so pleased I made the decision to try BistroMD.

I joined the program based on the promise of quality meals delivered weekly. The majority of the meals were decent. However, the beef sent in some of the meals was so grisly that it was inedible. I wouldn't have feed it to a starving stray animal. The delivery for the meals also suffered after two weeks of deliveries. My husband and I were enrolled and both received deliveries on Saturdays which was perfect. The Sunday meals could be thawed in the fridge and meals for both of us could be organized at the same time in the freezer for the following week. This wasn't bad at all. Once and done then anyone could thaw the meals for the next day. Then, for some reason, my meals came on Wednesday. This means reorganizing the freezer with Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday meals for both of us because there was a a week worth of new meals needed to be organized and frozen. Then his meals would arrive on Saturday which means another large reorganization. Its not bad to do it once but twice a week is unacceptable. There is a large selection of meals with this plan with an emphasis on protein. With as many selections as there were, a participant should be able to eat a unique item with no repeats for a month maybe even two. I had repeat meals the very next delivery. This was not the worse thing but imagine that you removed the meal from your preferences, double checked the menu to make sure it wasn't missed then on delivery day, there they are! This is just an opinion on the taste of the meals but for me you either like them or you want to toss them. At the price of $450 for delivery for two adults eating 20 meals per week with 2-3 snacks daily, its an average of $11-$13 per item. I could eat a lot of things at those prices. Especially considering I spend $150 per week to feed two people under any other circumstances. Overall, the cost for the plan is high but I was willing to pay for a great program. However, with all the mistakes including the odd delivery times, inedible meals and high cost at least the customer service was excellent! If you have the money and are willing to work around these problems I experienced, try it, you just might like it.

It's a bit confusing to start because I did everything online. Having said that, when I had problems and called customer service, they were very responsive. It's only been 5 days ....I've lost maybe a pound, but i've not been hungry either which is a deal breaker for me. The food is okay...the beef is a bit fatty...I would rather have very lean beef. The chicken, turkey and salmon were fine. I like the breakfast sandwiches...quite tasty and very satisfying. I also like that I don't have to buy any other food. Time will tell if I lose weight or not...I'm giving it two weeks and we'll see....I would expect I should be about 4 pounds down.

I make better choice since the food is right there in my fridge
