Healthy Meals Shipped Right to Your Door

diettogo logo
I have been a Diet-to-Go Brand Ambassador for a couple of years now.  For those who read my blog, you've probably seen my posts from time to time.  I was excited this year to join their Ambassador program again.  The truth is, I really do enjoy their meals, they are a great company who takes a lot of pride in their meal service, meal taste, quality and everything from the preparation process, shipping and arrival to your door.

If you're not familiar with Diet-to-Go, let me tell you a little about them.  They have 3 menu options to choose from, to basically fit any type of meal preference.

* Traditional Menu, for those who have weight loss goals, but still want your meat and carbs.
* Vegetarian Menu, for those who, enjoy a meat free diet.
* Low Fat Menu, for those looking for less fat, but lots of taste and a filling meal.

Each one of these menu's had dozens of meal options to choose from.  I have eaten meals on the Traditional Menu Plan many times over the past few years, and rarely get the same item.  Their menu is vast and full of delicious options.

THEY CALORIE COUNT FOR YOU

That's right, they do the calorie counting work for you, so you can fill up on everything they send and know that your within your daily calorie intake goals.
You choose between a 1,200 or 1,600 calorie a day meal plan depending on your diet needs.
They ship you Breakfast - Lunch - Dinner meals for each day.  The meals arrive directly to your door. In a cooler with the meals packed to be cool and frozen.  You place them in your fridge until your ready to eat, most meals cook up easily in just a few minutes.
They have both microwavable and conventional oven bake options.



THEY FIT TO YOUR SCHEDULE

You pick, 5 meals a week or 7 meals a week.  That is to help for those who still enjoy eating out and don't want more meals than they can eat.
You can also pick 2 meals a day, or 3 meals a day.  This option works for those who may take their breakfast at work, or enjoy grabbing their own early morning meal and snack.


REASONABLY PRICED

The best part is the pricing, it is well within reason.  Figure how much you already spend on a meal or what does your weekly grocery bill come to?
I have done the math on their meals.  I estimate it comes to roughly $7.50 a meal and that is at full price.
Which if you eat out, even if healthy.  If you're having someone else prepare a gourmet meal for you, I doubt you will be able to find prices that beat theirs.

Even better, you are all welcome to use my discount code if you'd like to try it out yourself.  This code will take 25% OFF the regular price.  DTGA116
Which means that quote I gave you above, is going to cost you much less to give them a try!


WHY I ENJOY EATING THEIR MEALS

I am not one of those people who can eat anything I want and never gain a pound.  I am pretty much the opposite.  I also struggle with creating my own healthy meals, especially when cooking for one.
What better way than having someone else prepare a meal and have it shipped to my door.  Not only that, I don't have to worry about portion control or calorie counting, they've already done it for me.

Additionally, like I mentioned above I enjoy their meals.  I have found very few that I haven't liked. My favorites are their grain breads.  I absolutely love them and could almost eat one of their breads or rolls for lunch every day!

The portions are huge and filling!  I remember the first time I tried their meals a few years ago.  I was skeptical and figured they would be these tiny portions and I would be hungry after eating.  I couldn't have been more wrong, and even the meals I ate a few weeks ago prove they are still pretty large.  I'll be honest, many times I can't even finish the meal, so I will set the rest aside to eat as a snack later on.  I love that fact, and I love that I can always feel full, and know that if I am hungry I can eat all of it, and still be in control of my daily calorie intake.

Last, you can even go in and select which types of foods you enjoy.  Don't care for fish like me, don't worry they won't send it.  Have allergies, no problem just let them know.
In fact you can be a pretty picky eater, and still find a vast selection on their menu board.  Trust me I know this, I am one of the worlds pickiest!

If you're wondering if I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every single meal I have tried.  I will be honest, not every single entree has been a hit to my taste buds.  But for the most part, I'd say about 90% of what I receive when I eat their meals, are ones that I do enjoy.  Like I mentioned, I am a picky eater, so there is a good chance the problem is more me.  But in their defense, I have picked items up at the grocery store and found a lot of hit and misses too.
The great thing about their program is when you order as you have likes and dislikes you can make selections to fit your needs and choose the items that your taste buds will enjoy!

WORTH A TRY, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT DIETING

You don't even have to be on a diet to have Diet-to-Go fit your lifestyle.  So many of us just want to eat healthy.  Let the experts at Diet-to-Go worry about the vitamins and nutrients.  Let them figure out how to make veggies and healthy foods taste good.  Save yourself a little cooking and give them a try.
I think their 5 day meal plan would fit most perfectly.  That way, on day's you're not at work and have more time to cook on the weekends, you can prepare your own.  But on work days, where you get home and don't want to hassle with meal preparation, you can just grab one of theirs out of the fridge, cook to be ready in 2-10 minutes.

I promise, I wouldn't continue to promote this company and their meal selections if I didn't enjoy them myself!  So if they sound like something you're interested in trying, why not give them a try and see for yourself.

I mentioned above I can give you a 25% off your order.  Use this at checkout: DTGA116.

My Experience and Results of being on Diet-To-Go Meals


     I received an incredible opportunity to try out Diet-To-Go.  So I decided right at the beginning I was going to give the diet 100%.  I weighed in the morning of day 1.  The program did not say I needed to do this, but I wanted too just for my own personal reasons.

This year I have been trying to lose weight, some of my readers may remember reading posts on this.  Well after I lost 16 pounds I sort of hit a plateau and nothing I have been doing has been able to get me past this.
So when I started Diet-To-Go I realized this might be the perfect opportunity and exactly what I needed to mix things up for my body and give the weight loss a try again.
I cut out all soda on my diet (sorry Pepsi).  I pushed myself to drink more water during the week.
Because of my ankle injury, I am limited on exercise I can do right now, so to be honest I wasn't able to exercise at all.

In 5 days I lost 1.8 pounds.  This may not sound like much, but keep in mind this is only in 5 days, and I was at a dead plateau before this!
I know this was from all of the healthy eating on the Diet-To-Go meals! (Because and I'll explain more below, I wasn't eating the smartest before.)
I have to be honest, now that I have finally broken that 16 pounds and I am now so close to 18 pounds of weight loss.  I am super thrilled and really excited to push forward on my weight loss journey again.

So the day I received all my meals, can I just tell you how impressed I was at the packaging and look of the product!  The meals came in 2 containers.  One was for items that didn't need to be kept frozen, and the other was keeping them all frozen.
The food looked delicious, I was excited to begin eating them the next day!

I want to share with you a little on the meals I received and my thoughts on each. (Note: every meal/snack listed below came in my Diet-To-Go meals.  The meals came with cooking instructions as well as details listed on the different separate meals as to what items went with which meals.  So you could be accurate on your daily calorie meal intake.

Day 1
Breakfast - Cranapple Muffin & a fresh Orange.  Pretty good, but wished I had heated the muffin instead of eating straight from the fridge:)  Have to admit, that muffin was quite filling!
Lunch - Chicken Salad Sandwich on a roll, Tomato Mushroom Salad and Fruit - Loved the bread!!!
Dinner - Chicken Fajitas with Refried Beans and Baby Carrots - Loved these, I could seriously eat these weekly.

Also, I want to mention something I realized right after day 1.  I always thought I knew how to eat smart, even if at times I am not the best at it.  But I realized a valuable lesson I have heard many times before, but just didn't let it sink in.  Even when dieting, you can still eat yummy food and feel full.  You just have to pick the correct foods.  Having Diet-To-Go do this for me, made it totally simple!  I can honestly say through the whole time on this, there was only 1 meal that I was still wishing for a little more. (That was breakfast on day 2).

Day 2 
Breakfast - Whole Wheat Monte Cristo (French toast with cheese and ham).  Delicious Yogurt Raspberry Drink and Fresh Fruit Mix YUMMMMM - I absolutely loved the drink!
Lunch - Black Bean Soup, Soft Pretzel, Vegetable salad and String Cheese.  I wasn't sure about this before I ate it, but it was a pleasant surprise, black bean soup is delicious!!
Dinner - Turkey Meatloaf & Veggies - This was good!  But I did add ketchup when I ate the meatloaf and should mention that didn't come with the dinner:)


Day 3
Breakfast - Blueberry Muffin with Strawberry Jam spread.  Heated the muffin this time, and oh so soft!
Lunch - Mushroom Soup & Mango Rice - The rice was okay, not really my thing.  But the Mushroom Soup was delicious!
Dinner - Tomato Veggie Pie covered in Parmesan Cheese and Sesame Bread sticks.  This was another one of those meals I wasn't sure what to expect or if I would like it or not. (I am a picky eater:)  But the food surprised me again!

Day 4
Breakfast - Cinnamon Bar - Pretty good and really filling.  I would want to eat this again!
Lunch - Waldorf Chicken Sandwich on a yummy grain and seen roll (love the breads and rolls in their foods!)  Sheffa Zesty Snack Mix, so delicious lots of corn nuts and other seeds and a V8 to drink.  Let me just say, there was so much that came with this sandwich I could only eat half of it.  I just saved the rest for when I needed a snack.
Dinner - Chicken Breast with Creole Sauce, Brown Rice with vegetables smothered in the Creole Sauce.  This was pretty good.  I like the veggies in the sauce, it made them taste less like cooked vegetables:)

Let me say, these meals are calorie counted.  So you can eat the whole thing or not if your full and still stay under within your daily 1,200 or 1,600 calorie diet.  I was so amazed that so much food can be eaten.  Sometimes I finished the meals and sometimes I had leftovers, but always walked away full from every lunch and dinner and almost all breakfasts!  Guess it all comes down to eating the right foods that are healthy for you!  Made me realize I have made mistakes with previous dieting!

Day 5
Breakfast - Eggs Florentine with Spinach, Chicken Sausage & Asparagus.  To be perfectly honest I wasn't exactly sure about eating spinach and asparagus for breakfast.  If I ate this one again I think it would be a little better a bit later in the morning.  But that aside, it was still pretty good!
Lunch - Wahoo Fish Burger and a V8 to drink with a bean salad.  Pretty good, you couldn't really taste the fish (which is good), made this using all the tarter sauce that came with it.  The bun bread was delicious, I love grain breads!!! The bean salad that accompanied the burger was really good.  Definitely one to eat again!  Also on this, there was so much that came with the meal and the burger was so big, I only could down half of it before I was full.
Dinner - Stir Fry Chicken & Veggies - This was pretty good, a perfect way to end my week on Diet-To-Go!

I loved my experience with Diet-To-Go!!!  The only thing I would have done differently is taken my waist measurement before I started.  I feel like my tummy shrunk a little, one tighter blouse I own seemed to fit a bit better today.  But I can't say for sure, because I didn't take my measurements beforehand.

I highly recommend Diet-To-Go for anyone who is either looking for healthy eating options or needs some help to keep their calorie intake controlled so they can begin or continue their own weight loss journey.
