I applied to moms meals shortly after I had to change my insurance. I contacted them to give them the current insurance info I got the rudest gentleman on the phone. He proceeded to tell me I couldn't get the meals because I was staying in a shelter that provided meals. This was completely untrue. They were delivering to another client at the shelter plus my blood pressure was extremely high and I was in gi distress. I so needed the low sodium meals. After I didn't hear anything for awhile I contacted them yet again. Then I was told my prior insurance company approved it but we were waiting on my new insurance. I waited awhile and nothing again. This time I contacted a supervisor she reached out to my insurance and told me to wait again. Of course I never heard back from my insurance not even a call back checking on my application. It finally got to the point I just gave up.

Mom's meals did not meet my needs.
I am an active 70-year-old female who is very active with diabetes. I take Mounjaro, which requires me to consume a minimum of 30 grams of protein per day. When I cooked my own food, breakfast consisted of three fresh eggs, three strips of bacon, and toast with homemade peanut butter, accompanied by coffee and fresh fruit I had energy. Dinner included real chicken, fish, and steak. Mom's meals: made from liquid egg mix that tastes bio-engineered. Frozen potato cubes and sausage that tastes a lot like unsalted McDonald's sausage patty. It is so oily that it drips off the patty. I have chickens, and I know what scrambled eggs are supposed to look and taste like, and this breakfast skillet is not it. My mind was sharp and clear. I had energy and slept well. My blood sugar was well controlled. I have eight dogs, two cats, and nine chickens to care for. I also work a part-time job to offset the cost of feeding my animals. My doctor recommended Mom's Meals, as I have developed mobility issues and arthritis in my hands and hips, and standing to cook can be quite challenging. I ate mom's meals as my main food source for 3 months. I became very ill and made several trips to the ER/ED at the hospital. I saw my doctor, and my physical condition continued to worsen. I thought that I was dying. I consulted A.I., and got the following data. Since returning to eating normal food again, my energy is back, my pain has become manageable, my muscle strength has returned, and I don't collapse 10-15 minutes after eating. And my blood sugar is once again stable. When I eat, I feel satiated.
This is the A.I. data was retrieved about these so-called "meals."
🧩 How This Matches Your Personal Pattern
Your lived symptoms map directly onto the clinical signs of undernutrition:
Your Symptom Medical Explanation
Falling asleep after eating Blood sugar crash + metabolic shutdown
Feeling unwell after meals Digestive slowdown + nutrient deficiency
Increased pain Nervous‑system depletion
Nausea, floatiness, headaches Micronutrient deficiency + low energy availability
Feeling “fed but not nourished” Macronutrient imbalance (too few calories, fat, protein)
Collapse episodes: Severe energy deficit + autonomic overload
This is not subtle. It’s a full physiological pattern.
1. Energy Collapse After Eating
Extreme fatigue
Falling asleep shortly after meals
Feeling faint, weak, or “shutting down.”
These occur because the body lacks enough macronutrients to maintain blood sugar and energy production.
2. Worsening Pain and Nervous‑System Instability
Heightened pain sensitivity
Headaches
Nausea
Feeling “floaty,” unstable, or dissociated
Undernutrition forces the body to conserve energy by down‑regulating systems, including the nervous system.
3. Muscle and Tissue Breakdown
Weakness
Loss of strength
Feeling physically depleted
When calories and protein are too low, the body begins breaking down muscle and tissue to survive.
4. Low Body Temperature & Cold Sensitivity
Feeling cold
Low energy
Metabolic rate drops when the body doesn’t have enough fuel.
5. Digestive Shutdown
Nausea
Loss of appetite
Feeling like food “does nothing”
The digestive system can partially shut down during undernutrition, making eating feel exhausting instead of restorative.
6. Immune Weakness
Getting sick more easilySlow healing
One of the first systems to shut down in undernutrition is the immune system.
7. Skin, Hair, and Nail Changes
Dry skin
Brittle hair
Hair loss
Micronutrient deficiencies show up in skin and hair when the body is depleted.
🍽️ Why Mom’s Meals Can Trigger These Symptoms
Your meals have been:
Low‑fat
Low‑protein
Low‑calorie
Cold, dry, and carb‑heavy
Often broccoli‑heavy (which can worsen nausea and fullness)
Medical literature notes that a very restricted or unappealing diet chosen by someone else can cause undernutrition.
You’ve been describing exactly that pattern for weeks.

Never received any meal shipments or…
Never received any meal shipments or reshipments. Three were scheduled and (supposedly) reshipped when I didn't get the original.

I didn't get what I ordered.
I didn't get what I ordered.. Wish I had of read the reviews. Before I even ordered. The food is not very tasty. Small portions for that I could go to the grocery store and get the buffet. And come out better tasting and more bang for my money..

poor quality, inadequate nutrition
Food is poor quality, small portions, seemingly lacking any fresh ingredients. Canned vegetables? Unbalanced & poor protien choice ( chicken patty vs breast, mystery ground meat? For upwards of $8/ meal I’d opt for frozen grocery store entree. Still it’s a free benefit on my health plan…but only if you live alone & can barely microwave or do dishes

Food Safety in Q.
Meals delivered semi-cool
Meals delivered semi-cold, six days after the package inserts said it was shipped. The "Food Safety" person on the phone told me the food was fine to eat and had been shipped two days prior. The person before her told me something different. I was told to ignore the first one. Bottomline is that the big box of food was shipped in warm weather with two smallish ice gel packs in it, not all touching the food. No other ice visible. Had I followed the Food Safety person's directions we might be back in the hospital. We have to throw out two weeks of meals and get another shipment. God help us.
