Editor's Verdict:

BistroMD.com is a meal delivery service which operates throughout the U.S.A. It was developed by Dr. Caroline Cederquist, M.D., and her team of nutritionists and award-winning chefs. Dr. Cederquist is a Contributing Medical Editor on the Today Show and Dr. Phil, the author of "The Honest Diet for Busy Women" and a Trustee of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians. Prepared from the finest raw ingredients according to unique, original recipes, these delicious, high-quality meals are leaders in the American diet delivery plan market.

BistroMD follows a format that is extremely similar to that offered by the other meal delivery services currently on the market. Users simply select their package option ' either five or seven days worth of meals per week, with or without included snacks ' and then await a delivery of fresh food, straight to your door! Once users have selected their package option, they can choose their specific meal choices from a wide range of menu options, so that individual menus can be specifically tailored to the needs of a particular client. Users can choose meals from three main diet plans, the weight loss menu, the diabetic friendly menu and the low sodium menu, and can choose to exclude a particular item or food group according to taste or dietary requirements. For example, users could choose to select meals entirely from the weight loss menu, but choose to exclude meat, seafood or dairy to address their specific dietary needs. BistroMD advertises that dieters who use the program lose, on average, between 2 and 3 pounds a week, consuming an average calorie intake per day of around 1200.

There were, however, a few downsides to the BistroMD diet plan. Dieters have the opportunity to select from either the ' with snacks' or' without snacks' option with either of the meal plans. All snacks however, are protein shakes or protein 'crisps' which look particularly unappetizing and are, when considered in light of the cost of the entire program, rather expensive as additions. We would suggest users opt for the plan which contains no snacks and add, if they need to, fruit and vegetables or low-fat pretzels instead of paying for the BistroMD snacks. It is also rather disappointing that BistroMD does not offer any specific advice on fitness, especially given the emphasis placed on this by BistroMD's chief doctor and dietitian, Dr. Caroline Cederquist. Similarly, our research suggests that dieters achieve more in their diet, in terms of weight loss, if they are supported by other dieters. It would therefore have been useful for BistroMD to provide dieters with chat rooms, forums, blogs or other community elements to allow them to communicate with others on the BistroMD plan.

All in all, the BistroMD plan is a fairly good quality meal-delivery system, which provides a reliable service to a great number of customers across the US. While it's not necessarily the cheapest system of its kind on the market, it remains good value (with, perhaps, the exception of the protein snacks).
