The problem that many people face is the amount of time needed to prepare, cook, and package their food for the next day. To make things a little more challenging, try accomplishing all that while married with children, working a job, or running business. Our spouses can try to help as much as possible, but in this generation both wife and husband have to rake in the bacon.

So I finally decided to try BistroMD, it is a weight loss company that sells gourmet style prepackaged health foods. I have been eating their food for the past few days and I am impressed with their frozen entrees. My favorite so far would have to be the breakfast meal called “Mixed Berry Crepe.” I have never even heard of a crepe until that early morning, and I must say was I fascinated with my new discovery. I have tried Jenny Craig so I have something to compare BistroMD with, and honestly their frozen products are definitely a step up.

The meals are delicious, considering that these are frozen fat scorching meals right out the box. The frozen foods can be put in the microwave three or four minutes for convenience, but if you have time available you can put it in the oven. The shipping was right on time and packaged neatly in a nice Styrofoam container. Although I noticed the outer cardboard packaging does not have the name of the meal, so therefore you need to pull the box out of the freezer to see what you have. You should be able to open the freezer, see the name on the box, and grab exactly what you want (just a suggestion I am sure they will make that adjustment soon).

As far as the snacks go, they are good but not the type snacks your average person would buy at his or her local grocery store. These are gourmet style snacks so that explains their uniqueness. I enjoyed the bottled protein shack, very quick and easy to use, just add eight ounces of water in the bottle shake it up and you’re done. The snack bars are very flavorful, but they can leave a dry after feeling in your mouth. No biggie, I just ate it with a glass of cold almond milk and it was very appetizing. I could feel the nutrients spreading right away all through my body; it was great after my tough workout.

DR. Phil calls them “The Best Home Meal Delivery Available,” if you are interested you can order online at their website www.BistroMD.com.

Bistro MD Diet Delivery Review

As soon as I opened up the USPS box I was impressed. The packaging for the FullBar was top notch. The package came with reading material about the FullBar, its story, and its founder. FullBar was created by Dr. Michael A. Snyder, MD, FACS. As a leading weight loss surgeon, he knows his share of health and weight loss information.

So the whole point behind FullBar is to feel full, so that you don’t overeat. I like that idea. After being blown away by the sleekness of the bar packaging, it reminded me of Pepperidge Farms cookies packaging, I proceeded to taste one. It was good. Not like those other bars that are tasteless and bitter. That was my first bite. It was a small test. The next day I ate a bar for breakfast, with some water. The taste reminded me of a rice cake, but a whole lot better and less bland. They come in 4 different flavors, chocolate being one of them.

What happened next was pretty surprising. I am usually hungry by about 10 am, even after eating breakfast. But not that day. I was full! I wasn’t even hungry when lunch time came around, but of course I ate to fuel my body. So the FullBar actually did what it said it would do, keep me feel so that I don’t overeat. That was proof enough for me. Plus, each bar only contains about 180 calories (for a full breakdown of the nutrition facts visit the site).

I think FullBar is going to start being distributed around various health stores and retail locations in the U.S. They are currently available for sale on their web site and I recently saw a commercial on TV. I thought it was cool and DVRed the commercial for my wife to see. She was impressed that a company that was advertising on television had representatives that were in contact with me.

Give FullBar’s website a visit and read up. They have a lot of useful health information that anyone interested in weight loss could benefit from.

We’ve made it our responsibility at DietsInReview.com to research the hundreds of diet and weight loss plans, pills, books and more. Our constructive, unbiased reviews have taken out the leg work for you, and can aid your decision making process. Three of the more popular reviews at our site are Weight Watchers, South Beach Diet and NutriSystem. They are some of the most successful plans around, as I show in these mini-reviews.

Weight Watchers
This highly acclaimed weight loss plan started nearly half a century ago. The small support-style meetings they had in the beginning, are the same people attend today. They now offer a top-notch online membership site, as well as specialized programs like Weight Watchers for Men. The program supports regular exercise and the flexibility to eat what you like- in moderation. The vast wealth of information provided on site, coupled with that of your counselor, give you the tools for success. It’s most famous for the Points system, which assigns a point value to foods/meals based on the fat, calorie and fiber value. You’re assigned a daily point target, and when you stay within that, you’re likely to meet your weight loss goal and keep it off.

South Beach Diet
The low-carb diet phenomenon dissipated a while back, but the South Beach Diet still stands strong with a loyal following. Cardiologist, Dr. Arthur Agatston, created the plan, giving special attention to keeping the heart in healthy, working condition. This is accomplished by removing saturated fats and reducing intake of carbs. The common result is a silenced sugar addiction and healthy weight loss. In 2008, an updated version called South Beach Diet Supercharged was released- updating the science behind the diet, as well as finally incorporating exercise recommendations. There are some food restrictions on this diet, but other benefits like balancing blood sugar, reduced cholesterol and heart health, make it worthwhile to pass on your former food vices.

NutriSystem
If you can’t keep up with preparing healthy meals to manage your weight loss- then you might try a meal delivery program. NutriSystem was a trailblazer for this concept, and stands out as a leader today. For a monthly fee of about $10/day, they’ll ship pre-packaged meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each is portion controlled, meets the glycemic index and has a balanced ratio of carbs, protein and fat. All of this promotes weight loss and helps you manage blood sugar. The meals do come in shelf-stable packaging, so the downside is that they can have high sodium and preservatives. Preference for the foods lie on both sides of the fence- but the people who do like the meals, also rave about the success they’ve enjoyed.

Medifast has over 60 meals that you can choose from for your 5 Medifast meals so it adds variety to your diet. Variety is an essential part of diets because it helps people stay on their diets since it makes it easier to enjoy the meals.

Another way that Medifast helps people stay on track with their diet is that the diet is planned to keep people full and satisfied. They do this by allowing you to eat every 2 – 3 hours.
