Bistro MD Diet Program

The diet program many first saw on Dr. Phil’s Show

Bistro MD Diet Program is one of the newer diets that many people first saw advertised on Dr. Phil’s show. I don’t personally watch the show, but a friend of mine told me about the diet and knew that I had been looking for something that would help me at work.

I didn’t have a problem staying on a diet when I wasn’t working—it was the work week that became my downfall. I found out that the Bistro MD diet program consisted on four different plans—full week with or without snacks and a workweek with or without snacks. It was the perfect solution to my workweek problems with, an opportunity to forego the worries and choosing low calorie breakfast and lunch selections.

Like many career women, I had gained weight over the years because of the constant running back and forth, rushing around for meetings, and just not having time to sit down and eat a complete meal. It was easy enough on the weekends, but on weekdays I just didn’t have the time.

Some people don’t like the idea of pre-packaged and pre-selected foods, and to be honest, neither do I under ordinary circumstances. The problem is when I’m working throughout the week I don’t have much time to prepare healthy and nutritious meals, thus the reason I found myself needing to lose weight in the first place and turned to the Bistro MD diet.

My tastes may be different than those of other people, but even though the meals delivered to my home for the BistroMD diet program were better than other prepared foods I have tasted, they were no comparison to those you can prepare yourself. Of course, this is always going to be the taste any time you substitute the cooking of someone else for what you can lovingly prepare yourself.

Unlike many other diets of this type, there was a variety of menus, and these were rotated on a weekly basis so that you did not become bored with the menus. I was able to stay on the program without too much effort for this reason—something that had caused me to veer away from other diets I had tried.

The biggest drawback to the Bistro MD diet is the cost—a work week program with snacks averages $25.99 per day while the full week version with snacks costs $24.28 per day, much more than you would pay to eat at home or even many restaurants.

I was fortunate to only have 15 pounds to lose, but on the down side, it was very difficult to adjust again to eating normal foods. I have to be honest and say the diet does not provide help with lifestyle changes, only with weight loss.

You must be willing to prepare for the future by learning what type of foods will help you remain at your goal weight. If you are looking for something to which you don’t need to give thought, this program will certainly work for you.
