Diet to Go

Diet-To-Go is a delivery service that offers delicious, fresh meals prepared to your taste.
When you realize the amount of money you're shelling out at drive-thru windows and restaurant carry-out, you'll see that Diet-To-Go's meal service is much more cost-effective and saves time and most importantly, your health.
PRO
- Provides a structured eating plan for busy people.

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.
Im going to try the program. Im nervous about whether or not I'll like the food. Ive seen mixed reviews here. The customer service guy was friendly but a little bit unprofessial....it made me concerned about giving a stranger my credit card number because it sounded like he was in his living room.
In my 3rd week and so far I have been very impressed. The food is a lot better then I thought it would be and I love the convenience. The breakfasts are mostly bagels and muffins, wich is dissapointing. But the price is great and the other companies that offer more deluxe breakfasts with more snacks are pricier. I would recommend this plan without hesitation.
Excellent fresh food, very tasty!. I am on the 1200 cal VEG diet, losing weight slowly but steadily.
Really nice people to deal with, mine is mail order and has to travel 3000 miles to me and is always ice cold/frozen. Lots of variety, fresh made, and I am never hungry. Easy to take lunches to work: everyone is jealous!
I started Diet to Go over the summer, but due to financial constraints and work related travel, I stopped in early August. After gaining back the 10 lbs I lost in July using the program, and joining a gym, I decided I needed to get back with the program. The great thing is they automatically substitute for my food allergies and having done a complete 5 week cycle, I know what items I don't like. I highly recommend it to anyone who is not feeding a family as the cost for me equals what I spend trying to buy a healthy variety of food at the grocery.
Followup to earlier comment. I've now been on Diet-to-Go (Low-Fat Plan, Mail-Order) for over three months, and have lost 16 pounds. Substituted the meals I didn't care for with meals I like. They've had a slight price increase plus I pay a bit more because I substitute many meals due to my personal taste, but now that I have the menu how I want it I look forward to meals, and feel like I have my own personal chef. Any errors with meals (at the beginning) or problems with shipping have been remedied immediately, and credit applied promptly. Definitely recommend DTG.
I love this diet "BUT" ..... I don't seem to be losing much weight. :( Has anyone else had this problem with this diet? Hints? Thanks & best of luck!
I just LOVE Diet To Go! It's so convenient and tastes wonderful! I've learned which meals are my favs and simply substitute them for ones that are excellent, but just not my favorite type of food. The Ham Salad, Ham & Cheese and Tuna Melt lunches are delicious! The dinners ...... Whitefish Parmesean, Barbecue Chicken, Spaghetti pie, Chicken Pizza ..... all DELICIOUS! This is the most convenient and tastiest diet I've EVER done in my 40+ years. I "have" to lose weight for health reasons and am so thankful that this service is available. Yes, it's costly, "but" if you factor in your time and the cost of gas to go grocery shopping and then cook ..... it's so worth it! :) Best of luck! You will LOVE this diet. :)
I've been on the program for a few weeks. It has been pretty good. I don't do the breakfasts, but the lunches and dinners have been great. Much better than a lean cuisine. You can get the program online or you can e-mail the guy I got it from if you're in the D.C./NOVA area. His name is Jeff and his e-mail is
Ending my third week on this plan. First week was great, second a little less so, this last week was tough. Not a fan of many of the seasonings and sauces so have requested several replacement meals for the future. Weight has dropped but many meals tossed this last week. Trying to hang in for one full menu cycle and then decide whether to continue.
I've been on Diet 2 Go now for 15 days and so far I've lost 6 pounds. In my opinion the food is very tasty. You have to have an open mind on some of the dishes if you aren't used to gourmet food. It's perfect for my busy lifestyle having breakfast, lunch and dinner already prepared for me is wonderful.
We have been on this diet for 2 weeks. The first week, we tried to get through the flavorless and watery meals. The second week we began cheating more and more because we just couldn't stomach some of the entrees. Also, do not bother ordering breakfast unless you're so busy you can't toast a bagel. It's not worth the extra cost and the egg dishes are pretty nasty. The breakfast pizza was probably the best breakfast entree. Some things like the tuna melts were good for lunch. The dinners were just okay to bad. We actually think the food is worse than airline food. My husband has lost about 10 pounds, but that's because he basically threw away half of his meals. We ate salads in between with lemon juice just to have some substance. We're going to quit this week and eat Lean Quisine meals instead. This diet promises good food. We never felt like it was good. If you do go for Diets to Go, add salsa and tomato sauce to your grocery list. You'll need it.
The food is good, fresh and very well thought out. As always read the print and ask questions they tell you up front that your credit card will be charged weekly unless you call to stop the orders. I love it as a single woman with a very busy work and social schedule this is the answer for me. If I am going out to dinner I eat my dinner before I go and then only eat (pick) at a salade.
