Diet-to-go is a meal delivery service for those interested in weight loss or weight maintenance. All of their meal plans meet low-sodium requirements, and meals rotate on a weekly basis.
How Does It Taste? If you don't enjoy the food you're eating, it can be hard to stay true to any diet plan. For this reason, we conducted an independent taste test of all the meal delivery plans we review. Eight individuals participated in this blind taste test, rating the meals on taste and appearance. You can see the final results tallied in our meal delivery taste test. Diet-to-go ranked highly in the lunch and dinner categories, and tied with Jenny Craig for second place. Meals Diet-to-go provides a three-meal-per-day plan for those seeking low fat, low carb, or vegetarian diets. The meals follow the guidelines from the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, the American Diabetes Association and the American Dietetic Association. They have a variety of seven-day and five-day plans to choose from, and also offer between-meal snacks on their website. Your meal plan is created by a counselor when you start the plan, based on your nutritional needs and preferences. Pick Up or Delivery Diet-to-go has physical locations in Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia and San Francisco for pick-up, but you can have your meals shipped to you anywhere in the US. With the delivery option, you can choose between full five- or seven-day plans, and partial five- or seven-day plans (lunch and dinner only). If you opt for the pick-up option, you can mix and match whether you'd like breakfast and/or lunch and dinner each day. Support Diet-to-go does not offer as robust support options as we've seen with other plans. They don't provide phone support, but their website has an "Ask the Dietitian" feature where you can e-mail your questions to their resident dietitian for answers. They also offer various tools like a BMI calculator (to tell you your current body mass index), a diet analysis (to help you decide which Diet-to-go plan is best for you), and a community bulletin board which can be accessed by anyone, regardless of whether they are on the plan or not. Fitness Diet-to-go is primarily a meal delivery plan, and doesn't feature a fitness component. If you are interested in a weight loss plan that includes excellent exercise tools, you may want to take a look at eDiets Fresh Prepared, which has a robust fitness component. Pricing Pricing ranges between $85.00 to $144.00 per week, depending upon the number of meals you're receiving, the type of plan you choose and whether you have it delivered. The delivery option is slightly more expensive than the pick-up option, due to the shipping charge of $16.95 per week. Bottom Line Diet-to-go lacks an exercise component as well as strong support in weight loss, but it does offer convenient, fresh and healthy foods as compared to prepackaged food plans. If you are primarily interested in prepared meals, this may be the plan for you. It is important to read the fine print on this diet (as well as any meal delivery plan), as the plan will auto-bill your credit card for the duration of your diet contract.
