bistroMD was created in 2005 by Dr. Cederquist, an M.D. who previously worked with individuals on their weight loss goals. Those who use bistroMD select meals to be delivered to their home 5 or 7 days a week. Each meal is calorie controlled, precooked, low-fat, nutritious, and prepared by a chef. 

bistroMD's website is filled with information on calorie counting, weight loss guidance, recipes, substitutions, foods to avoid, and more tips. It seeks to "provide solutions for a lighter, healthier you." The company has been featured on Dr. Phil, The Biggest Loser, Lifetime, and more. Although the program may be expensive, the menu and concept are easy to navigate and follow.

The Good

  • Home Delivery
  • Meal and Plan Variety
  • Sustainable Weight Loss

Home Delivery

bistroMD delivers meals right to your door. The meals are packaged in a cooler with dry ice to keep your meals fresh if they're delivered before you get home. 

Meal and Plan Variety 

This diet plan allows you to customize the meals you want to receive from more than 150 options. The meals include a variety of ethnic foods for a global flavor. You won't need to eat the same thing every week. If you try an entree from bistroMD that you don't enjoy, you can edit your plan so you won't receive that one again. 

Along with variety in the entrees you can receive, bistroMD also offers a variety of plans which are customizable depending on your needs. These plans include gluten free, vegetarian, heart healthy, or diabetic options. Plans are adjusted for males and females. bistroMD also offers options for menopausal needs. 

You can choose to receive meals five or seven days a week. This can include all three daily meals, or just lunch and dinner. bistroMD also offers a snack plan add-on called EATS (Essential and Tasty Snacks).

Sustainable Weight Loss

Unlike other diet plans or fads, bistroMD helps you lose weight and keep it off. The diet focusses on portion control and a life full of healthy food. The plan contains all the nutrients you need, so if you like, you can continue eating bistroMD for life. If you'd like, you can schedule a virtual appointment with a registered dietician to talk about your weight loss and your bistroMD plan. 

With bistroMD you can expect to lose a consistent one to two lbs. per week until you reach your goal weight.

The Bad

  • Cost
  • Order Frequency

Cost

The cost of bistroMD depends on which plan you choose and how many weekly meals you plan to receive. One user summed it up as about $10 a meal. However, bistroMD offers a discounted rate and free shipping for your first week.

Order Frequency

bistroMD meals are planned and delivered by week, as opposed to other diet plans that offer meals for the whole month.

The Bottom Line

While the price of this diet may be high, it teaches you portion control and which foods are most nutritious. Other fad weight loss tricks or extreme diets may help you drop weight fast, but won't teach you how to keep it off. 

bistroMD takes all of the guesswork out of weight loss. It makes it easy and delivers nutritionally balanced meals right to your door. On top of that, it has a ton of variety to choose from. Bistro MD was created by a weight loss physician with decades of experience. Additionally, the company staffs registered nutritionists to help dieters reach their goals.

The cost for Bistro MD meals is higher than the average diet, especially if you order any kind of specialized meal. You also have to order one week at a time, unlike other diets where you have the option of ordering for the entire month.

There are some good enough meals, but way too expensive at $15 a meal and frozen. Fish entrees way too fishy (not fresh tasting). Canceled after first week
