Diary of a Hopeful Fat Girl
Kristin
“I had never tried a meal subscription plan before and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I thought maybe it would be a few nasty freezer meals in aluminum foil that I had to heat in the oven from the 80s. Boy was I wrong! First off, let me start by saying that these meals FAR exceeded my expectations!”

DC Refined
Amanda Andrade-Rhoades
“The lack of prep work and transportable packaging make it a great option for those who are crushingly busy or just don’t like cooking, but want to break out of the take-out cycle and lose weight in the process.”

REVIEWS
Chic Family Travels
Tamala
“Honestly, I liked the Diet to Go Meals so much that I truly wondered if they had cherry picked the best meals and sent them to me. … I surprisingly also liked the “paid for” Diet to Go meals, and saw no discernible difference in the quality or taste.”
Eat and Sip in the City

“It was pretty amazing to have all the food ready to go, stacked up in the refrigerator, and each meal ready in just MINUTES in the microwave or toaster oven.”
Come In Sit Down
Anna
“I am satisfied with the quality of meals, customer service and my BG levels while on the plan. I even managed to lose 1.5 pounds in the process and love it; this is something I couldn’t achieve prior to participating in the plan.”

Diabetes Dad
Tom
“I’m not a chef, I am not a nutritionist, and taste is a matter of choice and different in each person. But the simple truth is, overall, that the food taste good.”

Reduced Fat Girl
Cassie
“NO COOKING! NO DISHES! I know most of you love cooking, but I’m a busy, social, single girl and Cassie ain’t got time fo dat. I especially don’t love having to eat the same thing for dinner 4 nights in a row because recipes can’t be made for one.”

Sugar Free Mom
Brenda
“I honestly must say if I were single or worked outside of the home or just didn’t like to cook or have time to prepare healthy meals, I would definitely order a diet meal plan from this company.”

Nourished Simply
Jennifer
“Pick up was really easy. I just went into Walgreens and told a staff member I was there to pick up my meals. The manager retrieved the meals from the refrigerator and asked me to sign for them.”
Preppy Runner
Theodora
“I really enjoyed the meatloaf dinner, too. It was served with sweet potatoes and green beans and a whole grain roll. It was filling enough that I didn’t even need to eat the roll.”

Kristen Womack
Kristen
“The variety of the meals allowed me to try things that I would not have purchased in the store for fear of wasting money. I learned that I eat too much of the same things over and over again and I really need to mix it up a bit and get more variety and balance in my meals.”
Back at Square Zero
Abby
“I enjoyed the simplicity of it. I knew exactly what I was having every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner – all of the guess work (and crazy cravings I sometimes get) taken out of my meal prep.”
