Featuring Comparisons on Complete Weight Loss Meal Plans.. 
All You Have to Do is Eat the Food that is Delivered to You!


There are many things you can do to shed excess pounds, but losing weight too quickly, like any sudden change to your body, can be dangerous. While fad diets, diet pills, and fasting may indeed induce rapid weight loss, these methods can cause you to lose muscle and may also cause irreversible damage  fairly quickly. The best solution? Don't go for an overnight miracle. Instead, choose a COMPLETE diet plan that fits YOU!

If you conduct a search on Google for "Weight loss" or "Diet Plans" you will quickly become overwhelmed with information on countless products, plans and used car salesman talk.
Our purpose is to feature five different well known complete diet plans with basic information on each so that you don't have to spend hours on the internet researching thousands of different weight loss products. This way you can eliminate a lot of the hype and useless information that you see on so many other websites.

The products we have chosen to feature are all from reputable and very well established companies.  No fly by night, overnight "lose weight quick" schemes here. Just solid, well proven and complete weight loss solutions.

We have chosen five of the best to give you a side by side comparison of each, and of the benefits that each offers.

Summary:

Bistro MD starts at around $20 for a full day's worth of food which represents pretty good value since you don't have to shop for ingredients, you don't have to prepare the food and you don't have to cook it.  Most of those surveyed were satisfied with the food quality, with some saying it was "restaurant quality", although we kinda doubt it. Still a good value for the price.

The beauty of this program is that you don’t have to buy any food as long as you stay on the plan. This removes the temptation to eat more than you should and also keeps you on track with a diet consisting of the proper quantities and nutritional elements. All delivered right to your door every week!

 Bistro M.D. 

The slogan of Bistro MD is "losing weight has never tasted so good!". The site claims the meals are designed by a team of nutritionist's and prepared by award winning chefs. Dr Cederquist M.D. is NBC's weight management expert, medical editor of the Today Show and a published author. She has 10 years of experience in the field of clinical weight management and her expertise has been vital to thousands who have lost weight successfully.

The meals are considered restaurant quality and freshly cooked, then vacuum sealed and frozen to lock in the natural flavors and textures which also seals and retains the nutritional content.
Bistro MD appeals to a variety of people who find the food is so enjoyable and tasty yet still results in weight loss.  The plan involves 3 meals and 2 snacks per day so hunger isn't something you should experience.

The meals are designed by award winning chefs and this is why it's called a gourmet diet. The quality and taste of the food is of the utmost importance and this helps you lose weight as you enjoy the food and the quantity is set. Also, there are a large variety of meals to choose from.

A typical day on Bistro MD will have you consuming an average of 1,200 calories which includes 3 meals and 2 snacks. The approximate caloric intake varies each day from 1,100 to around 1,400. The logic being that your body doesn't get used to a certain caloric intake and this encourages further weight loss.

Summary:

On the surface, the idea of eating cookies to lose weight sounds ridiculous. But if they are packed with nutrition, it's not like it would differ much from any other meal replacement food.
However, it would be very unlikely that any reputable nutritionist would recommend more than one meal replacement a day, so eating the whole bag in one day would probably not be a good idea. The samples which were sent to us tasted good, so you will need to practice some restraint that's for sure!
