Diet to Go
Are you too busy to cook for yourself? Look no further.
BACKGROUND
It's no wonder we struggle to maintain our weight. With busy work, family and social commitments, our chaotic lifestyles leave us little time to plan and prepare healthy meals. As a result, weight loss and health become less of a priority. Diet to Go offers the solution to finding the balance between your hectic life and desire to eat nutritious meals. Diet to Go is a delivery service that offers delicious meals, either via a fresh delivery or frozen delivery.
When you realize the amount of money you're shelling out at drive-thru windows and restaurant carry-outs, you'll see that Diet to Go meal service is much more cost-effective and saves time, and most importantly, your health.
IN-DEPTH REVIEW
DietsInReview.com's Chief Mom, Carmen Staicer, spent two weeks using the Diet to Go meal delivery service.
Learn more about her experience with the Diet to Go Frozen Meal Delivery.
"The first meal I sampled was turkey Salisbury steak with gravy, mashed potatoes, and whole green beans. I microwaved it and within five minutes I was sitting down to a hot, fresh, perfectly seasoned meal that completely satisfied me. It was filling, and in fact, I didn’t even finish the potatoes. My usual meal choices might involve a Lean Cuisine or other frozen meal, and I’m often left still hungry and scouring the kitchen an hour later. The Diet to Go meal removed that action from my life."
And hear about her experience with the Diet to Go Fresh Meal Delivery.
"I found the entire week of food to be outstanding in quality, taste and convenience. Many times, meals were accompanied by a piece of fresh fruit, a prepared yogurt smoothie, a roll, coleslaw, applesauce, or terra veggie chips. This truly led me to believe that if I were purchasing a week of food to be delivered to my house there would really be no need to visit the grocery – literally everything is contained in one inclusive package."
Get the final word on Diet to Go in Carmen's overview of both programs.
"I give Diet to Go two thumbs up. It’s a delicious, convenient, non-stressful way to plan your meals and stay within your selected calorie range."

I love this diet. I am using the low carb and I have only been on it for a week and i haven't had one bad meal yet. I've lost 5 pounds in the first week. I don't know why the review of the diet says that you have to add your own veggies, The low carb portion has veggies for every meal including breakfast. Very healthy and very filling. Ive never eaten so many vegetables in one day before!
I've always been skeptical of the diet meal delivery services, so when I saw Diet to Go I wasn't impressed, but when a friend recommended it I agreed to try it for a week. Well, now I'm on week 5 and still going strong. The food is surprisingly good even for a picky eater like me. The packaging needs some improvement in terms of identifying everything, but other than that is has been awesome. I'm down 10 lbs. and I have more energy than I've had in a long time. I notice that when I have a cheat day where I eat bad food I feel so terrible... I never realized how much better I would feel by eating more balanced healthy meals. On my way to running a 5k! I'm stoked!!

I just started the DTG program today...and so far both of the meals are FANTASTIC. I normally do the lean cuisine or smart ones for lunch, but today i had DTG Mexican pizza and rice...very good. Apple pancakes and soy sausage (im doing the vegetarian plan) for breakfast was awesome as well. So far so good! lovin it.
I tried the traditional, 1200 cal plan for 2 weeks and then switched to the veg. 1200 (just started) b/c I felt the traditional was a bit too heavy on the carbs and I didn't care for some of the food choices. So far I'm enjoying the veg options. It's quick and easy as I'm on the go so much. I found the first few meals I was starving and as I became use to the meals, my stomach shrank and I wasn't able to finish the portions. Make sure you're drinking lots of water and you can add some fruit or nuts to the mix, too. Just be smart about it. Good luck to all!
I was on Diet to Go for several months, and I definitely lost weight when I stuck to the program. The vegetarian plan had delicious food and lots of variety, unlike other meal delivery plans. I used the local pickup option (DC area) and the food was fresh and wonderful! I highly recommend Diet to Go.
So far so bad....bad directions on heating and the food will help loose weight...because of the taste:>(
Really disappointed thus far will comment later in week
Only positive was the customer service.
I have to say that on a scale of 1-10, I give diets to go between 8.5-9. I have only been onthe diet for two weeks and lost about 3lbs. That's my fault ,(not exercising enough) not the meal plan. I've been on the low fat traditional plan. The food has been quite tasty and not salty for me, as other have said. It does seem to be heavy on the carbs. The only negative I can say is sometimes the bread on the sandwiches are slightly soggy since everything is frozen. Delivery has been great the staff during the purchase process was very cordial and food is packed with great care. This diet plan is worth a try. I want try the low carb diet next
I tried this and was very pleased with the food choices and the meals themselves. Diet-to0Go does a very nice job and makes successful dieting almost painless.
I'm a big fan of their food. I recommend it to just about everyone that wants to lose weight but isn't good at controlling portion size. That is the hardest part about dieting in my experience.
I've been on 1200 calorie Diet-to-Go for 3 months. I've lost a total of 23 lbs. I have exercised strenuously at least 5 days a week during this period. An important note, I am very sensitive to sodium which typically causes water retention. This has been apparent with other diet programs; however, with Diet-to-Go, I have had no water retention at all. I'm going to continue until I reach my goal. The cost is worth it to me.
It's only my first week and I like it. I'm ecstatic that the food is preseasoned. I don't add anything to it. The food looks awesome and is fresh. I only get 5 days so that I can mix in other meals from my home. It's a great balance. I was on a 7 day plan with another diet company. I found that dinner parties and cravings made me lose money because I didn't eat the diet plan food. I also change the meals around. I usually get 2 or 3 days of food. I may have Friday's dinner on Wednesday and it allows for substitution of whole meals. It's awesome.
I'd give them 4/5 stars. The structuring of the meals help, most of their foods taste well, their customer service is very good and they issue refunds for the rare meal lost.
I've been on their programs on and off for years and overall have lost about 60 pounds. More recently I lost 23 pounds in four months by strictly adhering to their 1600 calorie low-fat program.
The only reason I won't give them their 5th star is that their foods contain needless white breads and potatoes that could be easily substituted with lower-calorie higher-protein content foods.
People who pay $20 per day for gourmet meals want maximum results with minimum hunger and substituting their starches with proteins would be a welcome change. Then again, they do have a meal substitution plan in which you can replace 5 of your least favorite meals with 5 of the most favorite ones.
This is my second week of the DTG plan. Out of all the meals I've had, I only disliked the meatloaf. The black bean soup was on the edge of me disliking it because I am not a fan of green pepper and onion. It had too many of them and it was a bit salty. After my first week, I dropped 8 pounds. I am trying to lose 20 lbs. I almost 1/2 way there.
Love the plan. Love the food. Especially since I don't have to cook!!!
I am finishing my first week of foods from diet to go. I am very pleased with the freshness of the meals and the variety. I am somewhat disappointed with the breakfast since they are mostly muffins and bagels. The price is a little high when adding in shipping, but I feel that the convenience is well worth the extra $20. I have recommended it to several of my co-workers. It is a great program for singles or busy working people who don't have much time to plan balanced meals.
I'm on my fourth day of the low-carb, 3 meals a day, 7 day plan. The food is very good but very, very salty. I happen to LOVE salt. However, these meals back to back are even too salty for me. Instead of looking forward to my next meal, I'm dreading the salt. Most all the meals are seasoned the same so you are eating the same flavors over and over. Aside from that, the food is actually very good. Only one bad meal. I'm going to stick with it for two weeks, then try another service (only because I'm dreading the salty meals)
Both my husband and I did this diet for a couple of months last year. We started with the 1600 cal/day meals, and then reduced our intake to 1200 cal. It worked very well. The food is really delicious.
My only complaint is that meals are somewhat heavy on the starches, so last year, I did my own plan and continued losing weight but even faster. It takes a lot of planning to prepare meal plans researching calories, and buy just what you need, but it worked better. We eat less bread/pizza/potato and more fish, salads, vegetables.
We are back on this diet after the holidays because we still like it to start; portion control is great.
The plan is not that expensive if you count not only what you would have to buy at home to prepare your own meals, but also the expense to go out to eat, and the wine we were drinking. We are actually saving money.
We don't get the meals delivered, though. They have convenient pickup locations (ours is 2 miles away), and that saves $30/week per person.
I would recommend this plan for those who have any of the following situations: are busy, don't like to cook, can afford it, want to eat balanced meals without having to plan.
The first time I tried DTG I lost 20 pounds in 8 weeks. (Low carb.) I'm back on it, and it's much like I remember. The entrees are pretty good and selection is good. As has been mentioned previously, lots of zucchini/squash/bell pepper sides. The veal (!!!) I had today was the worst so far. Nice to have eggs, sausage, etc. for breakfast. I do add low carb snacks (purchased elsewhere) to supplement. so far I'm down 2 pounds in 5 days. On a scale of 1-10, meals range from 5-8. delivery has been perfect, with all meals accounted for. All-in-all, a great way to lose weight without lots of shopping and meal preparation. I purchase 3 meals/day, 7 days/week for $156 delivered to my gym. Highly recommended.

The food is too salty.
The food tastes wonderful. In eight weeks, however, I never received everything they were supposed to send. This last week ten items were missing, and they won't send them to you, just give a refund. I wish they were reliable because I LOVED the food/menus.
I have been on the low carb program for about 5 days. Overall I like it. I decided to try the full brkfst, lnch, din, until I lose my first 15 lbs. Then I will switch to lunch and dinners only.
I would say that so far, I like 85% of the food. The sauces are tasty. But like some people have complained, the vegetables can be watery. They use a lot of califlower and green/red bell peppers. The chicken and fish dishes are the best so far.
I have lost 3 lbs so far, but it could be water weight.
