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.

Diet-To-Go Review

Motivational Monday Blog Link-Up
(You can link up your own blog post at the end of mine.)


     I have been excited to share with all of you my review on Diet-To-Go.  You may know I am a Diet-To-Go Ambassador.  Let me first tell you a little of why I decided to join Diet-To-Go.  They are all about creating healthy living, by healthy eating.  
To lose weight you have to insert both diet and exercise into your life.  It's not easy, in fact it can be darn right hard at times (this I know)!  For me I used to look at celebrities and think to myself, now if I only had my own personal chef that could make food I actually enjoyed.  Then I'd be able to turn regular dieting into an all around healthy lifestyle change and look as good as some of them do.

     Well that is what Diet-To-Go is, it's your own personal chef.  They send the fresh meals to you weekly.  So it is completely easy and hassle free!  You sign up, and ask for the type of foods/diet you would like to be on.  You can be picky and leave out certain things, so when you get your meals they are food you will love to eat.  How easy is that?  It's seriously is just like having your own personal chef!


     This past week I have been enjoying some delicious dishes.  This isn't my first time trying out Diet-To-Go meals.  I have to tell you I was pleasantly surprised to discover that their menu is even more vast than I previously thought!  I didn't have a single meal to eat that was the same as any of the many meals I have tried in the past.  They have three meal plans to choose from: Traditional, Vegetarian and Low Carb.  Each meal plan has 5 weeks of meal rotations, so as you can see a very vast selection of meals!



I chose the Traditional Low-Fat Diet Meal Plan to eat this past week.  I'd like to give you a daily breakdown of my daily meals to give you a little bit of an idea of the types of yummy foods they have available.


Blueberry Pancakes
Day 1
Breakfast - 4 Pancakes each piled with blueberries, with a turkey sausage with veggies for a side.

Lunch - Szechuan turkey burger on a delicious multi-grain roll, with a carrot beet salad as my side.


Dinner - Turkey Chili with beans



Day 2

Breakfast - Mango Cranberry Muffin

Lunch - Turkey ham salad on a fresh pretzel roll a side of Lentil Chili and String Cheese. Picture on the right


Dinner - Fettuccine with Italian style meatballs in tomato sauce and a side of vegetables.




Day 3
Breakfast - Ratatouille Omelet, with lots of yummy cheese and veggies and a side of Asparagus. pictured to the left

Lunch - Chicken Alfredo Melt in white sauce with a side of vegetables.


Dinner - Penne Pasta flavored with turkey and meat sauce.






Day 4

Breakfast - Noodle Kugel, creamy egg noodles cooked with spices and a side of applesauce and Cranberry juice drink. Picture on right

Lunch - Curry Chicken Salad Sandwich on a soft mulit-grain bun, with side of mandarin oranges.


Dinner - Chicken Parmeasean




Day 5
Breakfast - Fruit Ambrosia, a Kashi granola bar with a fruit mix of mango, pineapple, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries smothered in Ambrosia sauce and yogurt.

Lunch - Deluxe Turkey Sandwich on a soft yummy multi-grain bun


Dinner - Chicken Pizza piled with lots of yummy cheese, sauce and chicken with a side of fresh broccoli. Picture on left


I absolutely loved my meals!  I have to tell ya, I love their breads!!!  I could eat one of their sandwiches on their breads for lunch every day of the week, they are my most favorite!  

All the meals are great, but I am a normal person and of course I am going to have a few favorites.  So some of my favorites this week were the Chicken Pizza, Curry Chicken Salad Sandwich (YUM) this was my first time trying Curry.  Yes I know odd, but hey I am a picky eater and always afraid to try new things, but this showed me that I need to be willing to try new things.
Other favorites, Szechuan Turkey Burger, Ratatouille Omelet, Turkey Ham Salad, Blueberry Pancakes.  
They also had an extra meal included in mine that was a Strawberry & Peach Fruit and Granola Parfait, again YUMMM!


Doesn't that mulit-grain bread look delicious?  

I'd like to mention, most meals are huge and I rarely finished some of them before having to stop because I was full.  I just put the remainder in the fridge for a snack later on.  Seriously love that you can eat healthy foods, and lose weight and at the same time always feel full.  That's to me is what Common Sense Healthy Eating is all about!!!

Speaking of pounds, the Diet-To-Go meals in addition with being able to add new exercise into my life last week helped me shed a little over 4 pounds over the past 7 days.  Now I won't lie, it may not entirely have been the meals alone.  After all I did go from 3 weeks of little to no walking and on crutches only, to this past week, a lot of walking and working to strengthen my ankle injury.  However, that is a lot of weight in one week, so  I completely believe it had a little to do with both the meals and the new exercise!  Either way I am extremely happy with it all!!! YAY!!!

This is a GREAT time to try out these meals.  For my blog readers you can use the coupon below to get an amazing $50 off a week of meals.  Seriously, that is an outstanding offer!!!!!  Take advantage of it, you will love not having to prepare and spend ton's of time cooking.  You can give a week using Diet-To-Go as your own personal chef a try!
