I started bistroMD about a month ago, and have been nothing but thrilled with the consistent service, quality, and impact its had on my health. I didn't necessarily join for weight loss, but for better diet while being under a massively tight schedule. After just 1 month I'm at my ideal weight and I feel 100% better than when I ate too much junk! It's the most convenient way I can think of to eat right without all the time investment and hassle.

I tried BistroMD because I needed to try something new and healthy and all the meal prep that is neccessary for healthy eating can be overwhelming with work and other responsibilities. I chose the 5 day plan and ate lightly but differently on weekends. On the plan, I was eating more protein than ever, high fiber and veggies. What I love was packing breakfast and lunch and being able to zip off to work in the am. Dinner was also a breeze. The issue was I was horribly sick of the meals, they were very bland, I missed fresh veggies and I couldn't look at another chicken breast or mashed cauliflower or carrots. I will say that I am definately losing weight! I don't weigh myself but I feel and see it on my body. I learned so much from this program, things like how much to eat, what to eat more of, and the importance of protein even as snacks. Another downer is the price, it is expensive but worth doing a month to learn how to change my eating around.

I wanted to try BistroMD, I had heard that it had the best tasting foodfor meal delivery type diet plans - which turned out to be true. So both my husband and I are eating the BistroMD menu. I am a senior citizen and I have lost about 6 pounds since starting Bistro MD 4 weeks ago. The food is is so tasty and satisfying that you are never hungry. The whole concept of meal delivery is great, especially for seniors. It would be grand to continue this plan forever but as senior citizens on fix incomes it is too costly. I think the only negative is that there is really no personalization beyond your food preferences. We were never asked our weight, our height nor our activity level.

My wife wanted to try BistroMD, she had heard that it had the best tasting food, which turned out to be true.

The meals really taste good. I do not get hungry between meals. I have lost an average of 2 pounds a week but I do not feel like I am on a diet.

The concept of Bistro MD is really good. The idea of being able to select meals that work for your specific medical needs is where all diet programs need to be. Unfortunately for me, I did not get the promised execution. I have several food allergies and although they are not life threatening or severe, they do cause me discomfort and poor health quality through bowel problems, sinus congestion, inflammation, reduced immune system and poor sleep. I recently joined Bistro MD and explained to Customer service my food allergies and was assured that the meals that contained my allergies would be removed for my meal plan. Although my plan would offer a significant reduction of options, I was ok with that. Unfortunately the meals that were delivered the first week, contained meals with products that I am allergic to? I did not even realize it, because I trusted the customer service would get it right, however, after eating two meals and having several physical reactions, I was suspicious of the meal contents. Sure enough after digging through trash and finding labels, I confirmed what my body was telling me…My food allergens were in the meals I ate. I think Bistro Md has great meals and wonderful selection, but unfortunately they do not deal with food allergies as I had hoped. If you are looking for a diet option that prepares decent meals with lists of selection Bistro MD is a good alternative. But if you have food allergies based on my experience, I cannot recommend Bistro MD and unfortunately I have yet to find another prepared diet option.

There are a lot of chicken options..so It feels like youa re only eating chicken all the time!!! rarely do you get other meat options sent to you in your meals for the week.

Bistro MD is a great program with room for "technical improvements" - while the Web Site is acceptable - it's not as interactive and user friendly as it could be. On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being the lowest rating - I'll give it a 6. The food is pretty good for "frozen" and reheated - I've only had two or three entrees that I couldn't force down. I have a few favorites that are quite good - I did the EATS program to include snacks and think it's excellent. My rating for the food quantity is 10 - quaility gets an 8 - overall rating 8 - my biggest disappointment is the "once size fits all" progam - I would have liked to have talked to one of the RD's prior to signing up. Also for price point - I think personal preference should be something that is discussed on the front end. Customer Service - I'll give it a 8 - the people on the phone have been nice but when I ask about talking to an RD ( twice) they always want to answer my questions - it feels scripted and not personal - the advertising leads you to beleive that talking with an RD or even setting up a SKYPE session with the Dr. is easy. I do think the RD email newsletters are a nice touch Results - well they get an 11 for results - I honestly could not beleive that I would have a 10 lb loss eating the quantity of food I was eating. Apparently there is something to their theory of eating attain weight loss. I've decided to give this program another 30 days to see if it can earn a 5th star. I recommend the program to anyone struggling to shed weight - especially if you are time challenged - I blogged about my 30 day experience - keeping track of how energy level and meal choices. In two words IT WORKS.
