Chefs Diet

Vita

I love it, the food taste good. You can avoid cooking, it’s very convenient for people who works and the most important that you are not gaining weight. Food is very fresh, no complaints.

I used this diet 4 years ago and lost 38 pounds in 5 months. I had a lot of social engagements and travel and love to cook and eat out at fancy NYC restaurants I thought i would have to give it all up to use this diet. I was amazed at even with a little cheating here and there and minimal exercise i was able to loose so much and every day i looked forward to my surprise package. i have to cook everyday for a family of 6 and i was able to do so w/o cheating. I also learned portion control and was able to change my habits thus keeping off the weight for the last 4 years. I had a very long winter and fell into a slump so am back on it to loose ten pounds. I find most meals satisfying and delicious, they have the best snacks and desserts. Breakfast are great most of the time with a few misses. Dinner has so much variety
and great protein/vegetables/starch and I am very rarely disappointed. This diet is expensive but i save a lot on dinner out and cook more for the kids saving money on groceries. Every couple weeks I go out w/friends and have some wine and dinner out. i love this program and think the rewards far out way a few meals out of 31 days that aren't fantastic, not every meal I pay big$ for at a restaurants are fantastic either. I feel great after the first few weeks and I am worth it! I agree customer service is mediocre but hasn't caused huge problems for me. It's way better than the frozen alternatives and your motivated not to cheat cause everything is in your bag and the cost motivates you to make the best of the program. I just lost 12 pounds in a month!

I have been on this plan 3 times over the past 6 years. The first time it was called Zone Chefs and was FABULOUS. The second time it was still Zone Chefs, but they were in the midst of changing over and it was terrible. This third time, officially Chef's Diet, started off super promising. Quite frankly, the food is delicious with a lot of variety (except for the "sweet snack", which is always some form of ricotta cheese) and I never had a problem with delivery. I do however have a problem with Customer Service and this is the main reason I have left the program. Customer Service is quick to call you when its time to renew, but slow to take any action that you request. I can regale you with the horrific stories here, but suffice it to say that after much frustration in getting any answers or a live person on the phone, I finally canceled and have been waiting for an oft-promised refund that just never seems to hit my credit card, no matter how many times I call. If you value your money, DO NOT give them your credit card information. Avoid this plan no matter how desperate you are - use Weight Watchers, its a much more honest program. Good luck.

I tried Chef's Diet a couple of years ago and lost 20 lbs in 2 months. The food was variable - 40% pretty dismal, 40% pretty good, and 20% absolutely fantastic. There is enough variety of flavors to keep you from cheating, and that is a very good thing. I have just started on Zone Manhattan, and I find the food good quality but very bland by comparison - after this week I am going back the Chef's Diet.

They have the worst customer service on the planet. Renewed for $3500 without authorization. Don't use them. Overpriced and extremely rude.

Chefs Diet works.Slowly but surely.Food is good and service is fine.Drink water and tea..no alcohol and you'll be fit in no time..Excercise helps

I LOVE the Chefs Diet! I have been on it for three weeks and lost ten pounds. The food is delish and very nicely presented. Its worth every dime!

Deb

The food was mostly OK, however, they are not able to accomodate special diet needs and you end up wasting a lot of money on food you can't eat.
The customer service is among the worst I have ever seen! The phone operators have very little product knowledge, many were surly, and, in the instance when a phone operator is unavailable, you are instructed to leave a message, and the return calls are slow to come, if at all.
I would not do this diet again and I can not recommend this diet to anyone.

I currently have a lot of weight to lose, and I thought Chef's Diet sounded like the perfect solution, since my problem with dieting always lies in the preparation. I signed up, 32.99 per day plus 5 free days...then I read the reviews and started to expect the worst.
I must say, yesterday was my first day, my bag was there in the morning, but in front of my door, not in between like I asked. I said "oh no here we go" I called customer service, they were as nice as can be apologized a few times, and this morning my bag was in the correct place. The food was great! Everything was packaged beautifully and I enjoyed it all! This morning I again was quite satisfied and saw ham on the menu, and I thought "oh no, I asked for no ham" I proceeded to look and my salead and saw they substituted it with chicken for me! Now I have stopped expecting the worst... I am very satisfied so far with everything, please do not listen to the reviews... I have a feeling it may be another plan they are referring to or maybe they have gotten their act together, in any case I will keep everyone updated but so far so GREAT!!!

I did like this a couple of years ago but it has really gone downhill this year food wise. AND I gained weight. Too bad I liked it before but I won't be ordering it again.

david

easy to stick to. avoiding cooking is nice.

Tami

As the previous post stated -- I also gained weight on this program

I live in Manhattan & used this service a few months ago. I must say I was extremely disappointed. They have the worst customer service I have ever seen. Stay Away!

mary

they changed the chef and the food is actually good. right now i'm eating the asian steak with shrimp teriyaki salad and I must say I'm quite pleased. Give it a try.

anonymous

I have actually gained weight on this diet . Anyone else have this experience?
The food taste good - no complaints.

I must agree that this service is horrible! The food is mediocre at best and the customer service is really bad. I live in NY and have tried many other fresh meals. Chefs Diet is the worst by far.

Jamie

Customer Service is horrible. The food was horrible after microwaving. I stopped after three days and they took over one month to refund me the money. (i called them every day). Don't waste your money or you time with them.

Deb

We were on this diet for a year and a half. My husband and I both lost a lot of weight. However, the food went straight down hill, the packaging is horrible, and as for the people that give you "customer service"..well that part is a joke. I never spoke to an actual nutritionist as they say. We are now doing The Fresh Diet and it's very good. They do in fact portion the food properly, unlike the Chef's diet.

Lyn

I have my meals delivered fresh every day and I think the food is really tasty. They're nothing like diet food at all and the desserts are delicious. Being able to have desserts in a diet plan is definitely divine. It's my first week and I haven't really lose any weight yet but the food is definitely pretty good.

Susan

food is good a little salty
