Imagine being able to start and stay on your diet plan and have fresh food prepared, cooked and delivered.  Bistro MD does exactly that.  These meals were developed by a medical doctor, Dr. Cederquist, who specializes in weight management and who has more than 10 years experience in the field.  The meals and snacks are fully cooked, portion controlled and perfectly balanced.  What’s even better is the food is delicious. The daily calories range from 1100 to 1400 depending on your needs.  If you’re on the run or even if you’re at home, this food will help you from grabbing something that isn’t good for you.  You’ll think — yum. . . I have Chicken Marsala and Blueberry Cheesecake waiting for me!

Bistro M.D. is not a quick weight loss plan.  It is a food delivery service with food prepared around strict nutritional guidelines and supervision.  It will fit in to just about any sensible diet plan – especially Weight Watchers.  What’s even better is you can use it forever as it’s just plain great, nutritionally sound food! In fact, there are people who have it delivered to their elderly parents to ensure they are getting good food.

The menus are rotated weekly for 6 weeks.  There are substitutions for foods you don’t like, are allergic to or for religious preferences. If you go out they include a “My Night” feature which lets you go out and eat what you want and still stay within your plan.  All the meals are delivered frozen on a weekly basis.  If you don’t eat a meal, just leave it in the freezer.  If it’s already thawed, you can leave it in the refridgerator for 48 hours.  All the meals are heat and eat – either by steaming or microwaving in their pre-wrapped packaging.

Your food is delivered every Monday unless you stop or pause the plan which is very easy to do.  Just call them 24/7.  Bistro MD guarantees the quality of their products and their delivery in good condition.  If something goes awry, just get in touch with them.

There are four plans:

Full Week with Snacks (three meals plus two snacks/day)
$179.95 per week/$25.70 per day

Full Week without Snacks (three meals/day)
$159.95 per week/$22.85 per day

Work Week with Snacks (three meals plus two snacks/day)
$144.95 per week/$28.99 per day

Work Week without Snacks (three meals/day)
$129.95 per week/$25.99 a day

Talk about value!  At first glance, the price per week may seem high.  But how much do you spend now for three full meals per day?  And this is nutrituous food including high-quality meat, fist, fruit, vegetables, etc.

If, like me, you’re a dieter-on-the-run, you will love this program!

What’s a cookie diet anyway?

The original Cookie Diet was created in 1975 by Dr. Sanford Siegal – a renowned physican and weight-loss expert.  Some think that these are fad diets – especially when they hear the name.  I mean after all, how can you lose weight eating cookies and is that all you eat?  When we heard that more than 200 doctors recommend this program to their patients, we thought we’d better take a look.

You can eat these cookies as part of the actual Cookie Diet OR you can supplement your own program with them as an appetite suppresant.  This is the method we like as the actual Cookie Diet is extremely low in calories and it’s very restrictive.  The cookies contain an amino acid mixture which will help you satisfy hunger without drugs and – let’s face it – if this can help us stick to our diet without “cheating”, let’s go for it!  Dr. Siegal also offers hunger-controlling diet shakes as well.

A few other considerations.

There are many cookie diets out there.  They all emulate Dr. Siegal’s origianl so don’t be fooled.  Dr. Siegal has been featured in countless news mediums including the New York Times, Forbes, ABC, CNN and many more.  He personally mixes every batch of these cookies to keep his formula safe.  The cookies are really good and absolutely will help you stay on plan.

The cookies are offered in a variety of flavors:  oatmeal raisin, chocolate, blueberry, banana and coconut.  They come in one size only which is a box of 42 cookies for $59.00 (plus s&h unless you order 4 or more and then shipping is free worldwide).  That comes to 1.40 per cookie.  That seems high but I think it’s worth it.  I’d much rather eat these cookies than take that dumb Acai stuff.  I use it in conjunction with my Weight Watchers plan and it works really well.
