Diet To Go Reviews

What Does Diet To Go provide?


Diet to go provides meals delivered to your home or pick up in certain locations (DC Metro, Baltimore, Philidelphia/NJ, San Francisco). These meals are designed for people who want a calorie controled diet.

Meals are delivered once a week with a different menu every day for Breakfast, Lunch and dinner. The menu has a five week rotation thereby providing enough variety to keep the food from being boring.

The menu choices come in low fat traditional, low fat vegetarian, low carb and diabetic. Meals are divided into 1600 or 1200 calories.

Their "selling point" is they provide the condiments and side dishes too so it's a complete solution, thereby reducing the need for you to buy extra food from the grocery store.

Prices vary depending on plan chosen. For example, a full seven day week plan with breakfast, lunch and dinner is $124.99 for the 1200 Calorie option. A four day lunch plan is £33.99. Delivery costs need to be added too. We thought that the $3.00 fee for pick up was a little bit cheeky.
