CONCLUSION
The DineWise website claims that it's the most popular prepared meal website. Maybe they got the most traffic in a given time period, but their actual brand recognition doesn't quite match that of NutriSystem. But that's not to say they can't match or beat any other company for taste. While you may not have heard of the DineWise, their comprehensive list of food options is very attractive. If a review by Newsweek is true, their food tastes better than most frozen food delivery services, so it's worth further investigation.

marjorie: You will not believe how good this food is! not even playing. Worth every penny- you will lose weight and you'll eat better than you ever have before. I LOVE that I get to pick exactly what I'm eating instead of having it sent to me "as is" by the "other" guys.
