Packaging, Delivery and Service
Diet-to-Go delivers a weeks worth of meals to your doorstep via UPS. The food comes frozen with dry ice in an polystyrene box.
My order of a weeks worth of food arrived when they promised and was still frozen and well packaged. The food was frozen and packed by meal. The non-perishable snacks and breakfast items were in a separate plastic container located in a separate cardboard box. There was no printed material with the food, so customers are expected to go on-line for menu information.
All food was in perfect condition and the meals were labeled with heating instructions only. Again, customers are expected to go to the Diet 2 Go website to see the nutritional and ingredient information of each meal.
Most food was packaged in vacuum sealed plastic trays. The trays can be recycled, but the polystyrene box has to be discarded or reused by the customer.
Sample Menu
| Breakfast
Noodle Kugel |
| Lunch
Chicken Alfredo Melt
|
| Dinner
Apple Penne Pasta with Turkey Meat Sauce |
Preparation Required
Diet-to-Go has instructions for two methods of reheating the meals which are the microwave and a conventional oven. In the microwave, meals are ready in under 9 minutes from frozen and in the oven they are ready in about 30 minutes.
Best Dishes
The best meals I sampled were the Blackened Turkey Loin and the Egg & Broccoli Pie. They were well seasoned and filling.
Worst Dishes
The only meal that I would not want to eat again was The Herb Baked Atlantic Salmon. The Salmon had an overly fishy taste and was extremely dry. A lemon wedge was listed as one of the sides, but wasn’t present in the meal.
Diet to Go Overview
Overall, Diet-2-Go is a good option for those that have trouble controlling portion size and choosing healthy meal options. It is also one of the more affordable diet delivery services available, without compromising too much on quality and service. Diet-to-go is commended for including fresh fruit, juices, and yogurt as part of their menu which ensures dieters get the recommended daily allowances of vitamins while using their service.
Diet-to-Go offers the customer many options that seem to fit any lifestyle, as well as the option to pick up fresh non-frozen meals which would improve the overall quality of their meals.
However, I think the service could be improved by providing a printed menu and clearly displaying the nutritional and ingredient information on each meal’s label.
@Fitty The Diet-to-Go facility is inspected daily by the USDA.
I rarely write reviews (this is actually only my second review ever)…however I am such a huge fan of Diet to Go I had to throw my 2 cents in. I have been using DTG for a few months now… Although I havent lost weight, I do feel better, save money on groceries (I normally would have spent way more) and eat better. I am not a good cook and work long hours, so the convenience factor alone is enough for me.
Ofelia, Ive tried both diet to go and Bistro MD and although Bistro MD is a little more expensive, there food is better, they have excellent customer service and they include nutritional info in each shipment. Don’t get me wrong D2G is good but Bistro is better in my opinion.
The food, for the most part, is good. Customer service is terrible (due, mostly, for the fact that it’s such a small company with limited resources). I’ve been doing the 1200 calorie diet and in 2 months (on and off) I’ve lost 20 lbs!
What I also dislike is the fact that you have to refer to the website for simple things like Nutritional Info and Menus. It would be so helpful to have at least the calorie amount printed on the food packages!
All in all, however, they are awesome-gooo Diet to Go!!
I did ten weeks on the low-fat plan (5 days/wk, 3 meals/day) and lost 20 lbs while eating delicious and satisfying food. I’ve just started week two on the low-carb plan and have dropped an additional 4-5 pounds. While I enjoy the variety of the low-fat plan more, I feel much better and have more energy while eating low carb. So far, for me, either Diet-to-Go plan is a winner. It is especially convenient for single people like me. I rarely step foot in a grocery store anymore and eat out far less, which helps with weight loss and better health. I give this plan 5 stars!
I LOVE Diet to Go! The convenience of 3 meals a day delivered right to my door step cannot not be beat! As a busy, health-conscious woman I find this a real time saver! I don’t have to think, shop or prepare.
My meals are all in my freezer and when I step off the train from work I just select what I want for dinner, pop it in the oven or microwave and dinner a delicious meal is ready in no time! I am currently doing the Vegetarian Meal plan and have lost more weight than I anticipated or expected to lose. A new pair of jeans I bought a few weeks ago are already too large! Gotta Love It!!
I have been using Diet to Go since February, with most of April off the program due to travel. I’ve tried both the 1200 Low Fat and the 1200 Low Carb diet plans. The food has been excellent. For example, today’s Low Carb lunch was Pork Loin with Morel Sauce, spinach, and green beans. I consider the food to be restaurant quality, certainly better than that I could get at most chain restaurants. The portions are small, but hey, this is a diet, and portion size actually falls within dietary guidelines. I pick up the food locally, and while there’ve been some glitches (a missing meal, a meal not properly sealed), I’ve been credited the cost each time. Overall, I’m very happy with the diet, the quality of food, and my weight loss, approximately 30 pounds since February.
@Fitty, Not sure what certifications they have in regards to food safety as it’s mentioned no where on their website. I’m sure they would be happy to answer that question if you call them.
I was just wondering, do they have HACCP certifications or something?
@Peggy,
While I’m sure people appreciate your opinion, you have to remember that everyone is different and has different tastes. I personally reviewed their food and I found it fine. It wasn’t the best food I ever tasted, but it certainly wasn’t horrible like you described.
Don’t be fooled by the stars. I give this minus 10 stars. The food is horrible. If you like gross hospital food then you’ll like this food. Customer service is just as bad as the food. They offer a credit when you tell them how terrible the food is. Wow…just what I want. This food is going in the garbage. It’s not good and I would never pond it off on anywone. YUCK
Got my first week of food. Most of it tastes ok. Portions are really small but that’s to be expected.
However, I was SHOCKED to find ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils and preservatives like crazy in there! I didn’t just want to lose weight, I also wanted to eat healthier. This isn’t healthier at all.
They also didn’t ship one of the lunches. They offered a credit though so that was good. The food took 4 days to get to me. Overall not satisfied with them. Will try another one next.
I did Diet-to-Go a few years ago in conjunction with a regular exercise plan and I lost weight quickly and easily. The food is delicious and fresh-made (my plan did not include frozen meals, but fresh-made ones that I picked up twice a week from my health club.) It was super convenient, and every meal was tasty and filling.
Sadly, I regained the weight I lost (40 pounds) and am now thinking of redoing Diet to Go, although it is a tad pricey! Still, cheaper than Jenny Craig or NutriSystem, whose food is atrocious.
I’ve been on this diet for 4 weeks, 1 day and have already lost 19 lbs! The food is delicious, filling and easy to heat. I like it so much better than the Jenny Craig meals. The portions are bigger, and they include regular name-brand items that teach me how to continue, once I’m on my own again. I haven’t had a duplicate meal yet! (It’s a 5-week menu that is customizable if you don’t like to eat certain dishes.) I can’t wait to see myself in another month! Thanks, Diet-to-go!
