I started out on eDiets a year ago and since then have become a 'meal delivery warrior'
. Over the last year, I've done fresh and frozen (eDiets, PFFS, DTG and Bistro). Here's a few comments on choosing a new plan.
Fresh vs Frozen - The frozen plans are a far cry from grocery store frozen. Once they're heated up, it's virtually impossible to tell what was frozen and what was fresh. The frozen is a little bit trickier to heat (and takes just a smidge longer...6 minutes vs 2) but you don't have the 'use it or lose it' issue that you do with fresh...worst case you get a backlog in your freezer.
Plans:
Chef's Diet, eDiets and PFFS are all supplied by purfood. Still haven't tried Chef's Diet (or heard from anyone who has), but decided that if I was going to do purfood, I'd go with PFFS or eDiets (where I could pick my meals). I just jumped back on eDiets for the summer (so I can add my own fruit/veggies) and have been AMAZED at how much smaller the meat portions are now than they were this time last year. Don't know if PFFS has done the same thing or not. If you like fresh, and you want to try different menues, you may want to try out PFFS
DTG has a slew of different types of plans. All are frozen, with reasonable pricing (lo carb is most expensive). I tried the lo carb, and altho there were some great things about it, it wasn't my cup of tea. However, there are a bunch of folks that absolutely love it. There's an active thread here that's populated by folks using the various plans.
Bistro is still my favorite. It's a little pricier, but the food quality is exceptional. It will definitely be my choice when I go into maintenance mode, because there's nothing about the meals that looks or tastes like diet food. It's also a relatively lo carb plan (not hard core) so it's just plain healthy eating.
Another one that you may want to try is SSHE (Seattle Sutton). They're fresh, and ship nationally, but if you're in a local delivery/pickup area, they're a real bargain. Haven't tried it, but heard good things about it.
Hope this helped
