UGH. Diet to go was a fail. The turkey meatloaf was literally inedible even when I was high! everything tastes good when you’re high! lol. 

I had ONE dish that was good.. and now I have to force myself to try and eat the rest because I paid 130 bucks for this disgusting food. So disappointed. welp. guess I just gotta not be lazy and start cooking again.

first day trying diet-to-go. 

i was 208 yesterday but this morning I was 211?? lol. 

anyway. i skipped breakfast, had lunch which was the chicken marsala which was MEH. I wouldn’t order it again. but the second meal I had from them was super good! it was like a beef roast with cauliflower and a bed of sauteed kale I believe. it was super good, i would’ve never guessed that it was frozen or pre made.

got my diet to go stuff today! its all labeled and everything, gonna start eating them tomorrow! hopefully it tastes good.

Life after diet-to-go

So a few days into my first week on Diet-to-Go, I called to cancel all future shipments. I told the customer service rep that I just didn’t think the quality of the food was on par with the cost. Basically, the value just wasn’t there. She said that she’d never heard that before. Good thing we were on the phone so she couldn’t see my eyes rolling.

If you weren’t keeping count, I had a total of 15 meals. If I were planning to continue this diet, 7 of the meals I would order again, 7 I definitely wouldn’t, and 1 I might consider if there were no good substitutes. Two of the meals I couldn’t even finish. For the same price per meal, I could eat out and enjoy all of my meals. Granted, that probably wouldn’t help me to lose weight. But I just feel like there’s got to be a better alternative...dieting shouldn’t have to be gross 50% of the time. Anywho, here’s a quick list of pros and cons in case you’re considering Diet-to-Go:

Pros -

Nice to have all the food for the week delivered

Didn’t have to spend time shopping/planning what to eat

7 of the meals were tasty

I don’t normally eat breakfast, so this was a nice change

No calorie counting

Easy to navigate app and website

Easy to substitute meals

Cons -

Cost ($9.60/meal undiscounted price including shipping)

Definitely not “restaurant quality” food as advertised. A majority of the meals were blah at best

The state of the packaging after opening the box didn’t leave a good impression. The ice packs had fully melted and the boxes were all soggy

The lack of cooking instructions. A lot of the boxes just said to heat to a certain internal temperature, but not how long.

The lack of expiration dates on the packing

Overall, to me the negatives outweighed the positives. But also consider that I only sampled 15 of their meals. If I had stuck it out, maybe I would have found several more meals that I liked and been able to create menus entirely comprised of good meals. But again, to me the value just wasn’t there, even with the good meals.

On a side note, when I called to cancel, they actually told me that I had to buy one more week’s worth of food because it had or was already scheduled to ship. I wasn’t upset about this because I thought maybe it’d change my mind after a rough first week of half blah food. Unfortunately, my apartment concierge failed to tell me when it arrived. Three days later, I stopped by the office to pick up another package and there it was. $143 worth of food that had to be thrown out because it’d gone bad. Such a waste. Not Diet-to-Go’s fault, but definitely a flaw in process that you might want to consider when deciding to try it. Maybe making a signature required for delivery would help with this? Either way, maybe it was a sign that Diet-to-Go just wasn’t for me.

Anyway, I hope this detailed review has been helpful. When I was considering different diets, I found some older review blogs of Diet-to-Go that I found helpful, so I just wanted to pay it forward. What’s next in my plan to lose weight? Right now I have no plans, but I’ll keep you posted!

Diet-to-go day 5

Ratatouille omelet with asparagus spears

Not going to sugar coat it, this one was gross. I think the asparagus somehow tainted the omelet. Like it absorbed the asparagus essence and transformed into a nasty vegetable. I was only able to eat about of third of it before throwing it all away. The smell, the chunks of whatever that is coming out the side of the omelet...breakfast ruined. Why Diet-to-Go, why? After I threw it away, I ate some fruit for breakfast instead. What a novel idea.

Order again: NO

Szechuan style turkey patty with rice and wheat berries

This is another meal my mother tried. After just looking at it, I could tell it wasn’t something I’d enjoy. She didn’t have anything particularly positive to say about it, but she did say it was a good thing I didn’t try it because it was spicy.

Order again: NO

Lobster and vegetable ravioli, red pepper cream sauce, and vegetables

I was excited about this one. I LOVE lobster ravioli. Initially I was disappointed because there were only three pieces, but to be fair, they were big pieces. I took two bites of one and actually had to spit it out. I’ll try to describe it...flavorless mush except for whatever flavorless vegetables they stuffed the flavorless ravioli with. I didn’t taste any lobster, but again, to be fair, I only took two bites of one piece (at this rate, the pounds should be falling off!). What grossed me out the most was the texture of the vegetables in the ravioli. They were crunchy. Ravioli is not supposed to be crunchy. Okay, maybe the outside if it’s baked ravioli, but not the inside. So gross and so disappointing. 

Order again: HECK NO

Up tomorrow, my thoughts after a week of Diet-to-Go meals, and a weigh-in.
