About Diet-to-Go
The meals are prepared fresh, daily, in the Diet-to-Go chef-run kitchens. The preparation abides by the organization’s strict ingredient and calorie guidelines while also meeting the standards set by major health organizations, such as the American Cancer Society, the American Diabetes Association and the American Dietetic Association.
The system includes the options to have meals delivered or to schedule pickups, for select cities. The delivered food comes complete, so that users really can simply enjoy a healthy meal. From the rolls to the condiments, your meal arrives so you don’t have to cook or run to the store for anything forgotten, and you get to skip the clean up duties. You have different plan and menu options, and all run in five-week intervals. The meals include in between meal snacks.
The Diet Plans
There are three meal plans available to lose weight or maintain a steady, healthy weight. The plans can be customized and offer a wide variety of menu choices, and the option to go with a low sodium diet. You can select from either The Traditional Low-Fat, The Vegetarian Low-Fat and The Low Carb Meal Plan. You can also work with a representative from Diet-to-Go to create your meal plan. Also, there is a plan available for diabetics.
The Menu Selection
All of the plans are a five-week approach that provides you with freshly prepared, healthy meal options. You can opt for one of two calorie levels – 1,200 or 1,600. The menus vary from plan to plan, and even slightly depending on whether the customer is opting for delivery or pickup. As mentioned before, you can customize your menus, as well, or choose from substitutions for anything in the plan you would like to change.
The Traditional Low-Fat Plan local pick up menu has the usual suspects, such as turkey chili and tuna salad, but throws in some surprises. There is a pretzel roll and pasta salad primavera that meet the calorie restrictions, and even a Mirkin burger. From the Vegetarian Low-Fat delivery menu, you’ll find items such as the expected granola breakfast, but also a dinner of shepherd’s pie. Lasagna, stuffed peppers and mushroom ravioli are also terrific sounding finds on the menu.
Also, there is the Low Carb Meal Plan. From the local pickup menu, there are selections such as roasted duck, western omelets and baked chicken with goat cheese. From the delivery options, there are meals including tilapia, Florentine casserole and Creole catfish.
Local Pick-up
When you sign up with Diet-to-Go, you can choose to mail order the meals or pick them up, depending on your location. For delivery, the meals are freshly made, quick frozen, packed on dry ice and shipped to you anywhere, from coast to coast. You can also opt to pick up your meals if you live in Virginia, Greater DC Metro, Baltimore, or Philadelphia/NJ Metro areas. Also, residents of the San Francisco Bay area may choose this option. For the pickup alternative, the food is freshly prepared then, upon pickup, has a four day shelf life, before freezing is necessary.
