BACKGROUND
If you're looking for a personal chef, a weight loss physician and a way to add convenience to your life, then Bistro M.D.'s Diet to your Door program could be what you're looking for. Created by Dr. Caroline Cederquist, Bistro M.D. offers a healthy weight loss plan that delivers nutrious prepared meals to your home. All the work is done, you just have to heat and enjoy. Dr. Cederquist combines her experience with an expert team of chefs and dietitians to create a delicious variety of well-balanced meals. Bistro M.D. is even endorsed by Dr. Phil as "The best diet delivery available."
In an effort to help you avoid those common dieting plateaus, Bistro M.D. will change your caloric consumption daily, from 1,100 to 1,400. This prevents your body from becoming used to, and expecting, the same amount of calories everyday. Diet to Your Door works to save your lean muscle mass by providing a combination of lean proteins and Low Glycemic carbs (which are responsible for those blood sugar spikes).
When you sign up for Bistro M.D., you'll have full access to her expert dietitians, as well as receive weekly updates with important information highlighting exercise, losing weight and nutrition.
Most recently, Bistro M.D. partnered with the TV weight loss phenomenon, The Biggest Loser. You can now order a plan designed by the Biggest Loser's doctors and nutritionists. Mark Kruger, season 5's final four, has already started using the plan. "It has a direct effect on my positive weight loss! Without BistroMD.com I could not have achieved the weight loss at home that I have. This plan is part of my success!," said Mark about using Bistro M.D. and the Biggest Loser Meal Plan at home.

Amy C.: diet to your door is great! you don't have to do any thinking, but it can get really expensive. if you can afford it, it's a great way to lose weight
Mary: very expensive...but I hear its worth the money...anyone had exceptional results with diet to your door
Di: So far the only downside is the expense. But with a lunch out hard to find for under $7 ... and the dilemma of cooking for one... it ends up not costing me much more than groceries and takeout. The food is suprisingly good and a nice break from usual frozen box meals :) I'm munching on a pasta puttanesca w/ chicken right now. There is a set plan, which rotates, but you can also request a substitution list if you want. Actually, I found it a lot of food for me, which showed me one of the biggest problems in my weight loss battle: not eating ENOUGH. I was always scrawny until I started on a couple medications and then a lot of steroids for a back injury. From a 2/4 to 14/16 in shocking time. As I gained weight, I started eating less and less and I am sure many of you know what I mean by this: that I felt like I wanted to strangle the next person (online or otherwise!) who told me that it's all about calories and I just need to eat less or exercise more. Ummmm... I was never topping 1,000 cals a day, have never been an emotional eater and can stick to plan. I'm not as active as I was prior to the injury, but not having a car, it is impossible to be too sendentary!! When I started this, I was shocked by how much food it was per day and that really brought home to me how much I was starting to nearly starve myself (tho I still managed to GAIN somehow!!!!!) Now, the part you've all been waiting for LOL: Yes, I'm down 11 lbs in about a month, the first time I've been on a downward trend since this all began. I had to send back some pants I'd just ordered. I am down a size and a few inches off my waist. I'm not a big carb fan, so the option to have a lower carb plan is great for me. It isn't carb free, but I was getting tired of how high-carb most diet foods are. This has a good amt of protein, but not all from soy protein either, which settles better for me. I had some nutrisystem a while back and that was too much for my stomach. I'd say the emphasis is more on veggies than carbs in this plan, and I love that.
Ricky: It is a little pricey but well worth it! The food on nutrisystem and medifast compared to Bistro MD is horrible.
