How Does it Taste?

If you've every wondered how diet food plans taste, you're not alone. We had the same question and conducted our own in-house, blind taste test to answer the question. We anonymously ordered and paid for each of the programs we review. Interested in the winner? See our Diet Taste Test Results

How We Reviewed These Online Diet Programs

We also created an independent and blind taste test, tasting breakfast, lunch and dinner meals from each of the top services and tallying up the results. While reviewing the services, we compared diet plan offerings, food variety, support and fitness options. We also looked into any extra features that each service has to offer as well as specialty offerings for diabetics, vegetarians and others with specific dietary considerations.
