Has anyone had luck with a food DELIVERY DIET PROGRAM such as CHEFS DIET | NUTRI SYSTEM | MEDI FAST meal program etc?? I know some people have great success with these programs-

I have had serious struggles with what to eat day-to-day to keep to the dietary needs AND allow for the variety in food choices that will allow me to stick to eating properly. I also notice that living alone and eating such tiny meals mean a lot of food wasted-Honestly WHO can afford to just throw away groceries?- simply because you lose interest or something makes your band happy one day and sick the next-

Even with the recipes we post here sometimes end up with a pot of whatever flushed or thrown away-Am I right?? I want to do something that will help fellow bandsters with this, one of these diet food delivery programs geared to LAPBANDSTERS would make a killing! I have a full business plan for any venture capitalists out there!

I was considering one of these programs to insure food variety and Portion Control please chime in and let me know what you think guys!:smile2:

Kevin,

I can understand that cooking is a pain. I actually spend a good deal of time shopping / cooking / preparing meals - since both my husband & I are banded.

To be honest I don't know about the foods such as Jenny Craig / Nutri System / etc. - from what I've heard they are pretty horrible tasting, but again I've never tried. My friend in CA (unsure if this is a CA only program - might google others that are similar for your area) has tried Fresh Dining, Premium Gourmet Daily Meal Deliver in Southern California & has been very successful. She's actually lost more weight than I have & I have the band..LOL There food alone looks like things I would prepare VS microwaving a block of ice that's to be my lasagna for the evening .. Not appealing much ... Check them out,

Lulu~

Kevin--I've tried Jenny Craig and the meals were tasty to me!! I live alone so the portions were just right. However, they were quite expensive.

I have learned to prepare small meals. You might want to try using Ziploc seal and steam bags. Throw in one piece of mean and a few veggies with seasonging and you have an instant meal. You might also want to consider repackaging when buying meat. When you purchase meat with several servings---try seasoning it and putting it in individual freezer bags. It's ready when you are.

When I go out, I split a dinner with a friend--save me money and I don't waste the food. I have been blessed to have a friendly band--THERE IS NOTHING that I can't eat. So I really must be careful with Portion Control.< /p>

Good luck with your business.

p.s.---I've been on spring break and didn't log any foods...will start over gain tomorrow.

Kevin, I did nutrisystem for about a year and it was good, you learn which are not so good! But it got old fast...and I am sure though now that I am banded could lose more! You can also pick your own foods instead of their starter one! Good luck

Kevin, I did nutrisystem about 11/2 years ago. The food was pretty good. I didn't stay on it long, I was working out like crazy then and the meals were too small. I was always hungry. But, they would be about perfect now. Also, if you don't like it, you can always send it back.

b- Protein Shake

l-can of chicken broth

d-chocolate/peanutbutter Protein shake

48 oz of crystal light

I've eaten so badly the last 2 days--figured I might ought to try liquids for 2 days to balance out---afraid to get on scale. Don't know if it will work, but I'll try

Does anyone have a recipe for a crustless quiche? I want to try something different for breakfast.

Georgia--did you detox work? Have you lost any more weight?
