I was so happy to finally get the scale moving in the right direction when I did Laura’s 21-Day Reset back in September. Through the holidays though, I managed to gain back all 6 of those hard fought pounds. Not running nearly as much, habitual, mindless snacking, plus holiday indulgences are to blame.
I’ve enjoyed Diet-to-Go meals in the past but I never ate them exclusively for weightloss. Rather I’d have one or two a day because they’re a super convenient way of getting in a healthy meal without planning, cooking or prep work.
This week, Diet-to-Go is my personal chef. They delivered fresh meals right to my door. You can choose the traditional menu, vegetarian or lo-carb. I chose the 1600 calorie, lo-carb plan. I requested no seafood, since I’m not the biggest fan. Yes, you can make requests and change up the plans with no hassle.
Here’s how yesterday went:
Breakfast was a kale and swiss fritatta with chicken sausage. Typically I don’t eat this much for breakfast, although I know it’s the right thing to do. I ate it early enough that it fueled my run without bogging me down. I loved it. Seriously so good. I felt great about getting veggies in first thing too.
Lunch was a grilled burger with Swiss cheese, creamed spinach and mixed veggies. Super tasty and not diet-like in the least. Color me satisfied.
Dinner was early because we had a meeting at school last night. I made chili for the Caveman while I went with Diet-to-Go’s Chicken Breast with red pepper sauce, greens and veggies. This too was absolutely delicious and way more elaborate than what I’d usually cook myself. The sheer volume of fresh veggies with each meal blows my mind.
All Diet-to-Go meals can heated up in the oven or microwave. Because we no longer have a microwave, I put them in the toaster oven. So easy.
Cravings? So far this week I’m still struggling with the urge for something sweet (a cookie or a piece of chocolate) in the afternoon after lunch. This is habitual, and it sets me up for an afternoon of indulging. Certainly I am not hungry. I know this urge will fade if I can stay strong, keep myself busy and away from sweets.
Weightloss: I’d already lost a pound last week because I was buckling down. This week I’m down another pound already. Can’t wait to see how the rest of the week plays out.
Concerns: I am not starving throughout the day, although I wake up in the morning quite hungry. Maybe this is a good thing? I suspect that if I were to increase my running mileage (which is quite low right now) I’d have to supplement this plan with a couple of healthy snacks. Not a big deal at all, because Diet-to-Go has a free tracking app online and for your phone so staying on top of food/water intake as well as activity is a no-brainer.

I’ll keep you posted on how the rest of my week in meals goes! Have you ever tried a meal delivery service? Do you struggle with sugar cravings?
I’m linking up with Jen for What I Ate Wednesday.
Those meals looks pretty tasty! I’ve never done a food delivery service, but if I ever do, I’ll definitely look into this one. Great progress! Keep it up!
I need this in my life. It actually looks pretty good! Keep up the good work!!
I love the convenience of meals like these! Looks yummy!
I haven’t tried a meal delivery service before, but these meals look so good it makes me want to 🙂 Great work btw!
Looks like it is working pretty well for you. I always wake up hungry but I think it’s a good sign that your metabolism is working well. have a great week!
Can’t believe how good these actually look. Normally I’d think pre-made meals and not expect anything good. I’m impressed. Am afternoon sweet treat is my weakness too. Cut out all sugar in February to get control of that habit.
Diet to Go sounds like a great solution for when life gets super busy and you’re trying to avoid take out and other unhealthy alternatives. Thanks for sharing!
The food does look really good. I’m impressed with the amount of veggies there.
I wish I could enjoy that right now. Its freezing here and I can’t get out to go grocery shopping.
Love having veggies first thing in the morning! 🙂
Hope you have a great rest of the week!!
I’ve never tried a meal delivery service. It looks and sounds great from your pictures! I’m not the greatest cook so this would be a great way to try new things. Only thing stopping me is price so I’ll have to look into it more.
They offer Diet-To-Go at my gym and I have always taste tested them when they were giving out samples. They weren’t bad at all and probably something I need to consider more in order eat more often. Today I ran out without eating and it was not good. I have to eat and sometimes my limited time doesn’t allow me to get it in. 🙁 This may be the answer.
Cannot wait to hear how the whole week goes for you.
I like to do my own thing BUT this is super convenient for those that want & can afford it! 🙂
I’d loooveeee to have a food delivery service! lol I don’t mind cooking but it’s just a pain when I get home later and then have to start cooking. all those meals you got sent look delicious!
Food delivery would be awesome, not all the time but for those busy weeks or when I’m too lazy to grocery shop.
OH I WOULD LOVE LOVE LOVE TO TRY THIS FOR A WEEK.
yep.
shouting 🙂
WOW this looks so amazing! Come to my house! 😉
these meals look good! Do they deliver the prepackaged meals and you warm up? Is this an individual plan or can it be adapted to a 2 person plan? Looks interesting.
I have never tried a meal delivery service. To be quite honest, I’m not sure who would deliver all the way out here in the mountains, haha!
Meal delivery service definitely sounds like a good option for providing healthy meals. Have you enjoyed everything that you have tried?
I love love the convenience of meal delivery but the few I’ve tried fell short on quality of meals.
Congrats on the progress! You’re doing great!
I struggle with both the sweets and the salts. I love chocolate but I also love chips! I just try not to keep them in the house because, thankfully, I’m far too lazy to make a special trip to the store for an indulgence.
This is intriguing. I listen to some podcasts that advertise different meal delivery services. If I was near one, I would try it.
