If you have tried to stick to a healthy low calorie diet plan and have failed at least several times, then home cooking of diet meals is just not for you. Not that you failed cooking healthily, but I understand if you find it difficult to cook low calorie foods especially for you, while the rest of your family continues to eat regular non-diet meals.
 You have two choices – you can either start cooking low calorie diet meals for the whole family, or sign up for a diet food delivery service that delivers healthy diet meals cooked by your personal chef under the supervision of your personal dietitian.
Yes, ordering freshly cooked and frozen delivered meals directly to your door using diet food delivery service, like Bistro MD gourmet meals, is like having your own personal chef and dietitian.
Bistro MD is a very good choice for a diet food delivery service. It’s not just an ordinary low calorie diet plan – it’s a home diet food delivery service that includes three easy steps to start your successful weight loss journey:

Step 2
Order your diet meal plan online.
Step 3
Your meals are delivered weekly directly to your door…

Do you know why it is so damn hard to keep off even the tiny little weight you’ve managed to lose with such great efforts? Because of the impossible diet plan you put yourself on. And what happens in the end? Probably you end up weighing a few pounds more than before you start dieting. Why is that always happening?
You start by lowering your daily calorie intake of 2000 calories to 1000 calories. You lose some weight for the first few days or even weeks, but then you stop losing. Then you decide to lower your caloric intake even more – to 500 calories a day. You will probably lose a few more pounds and then it’ll stop again.
During your diet you will be starving all day every day for weeks and even months. You will start feeling frustrated by the fact you are not loosing anymore. You will start feeling depressed and will eventually lose faith and hope you will ever lose weight. At the end of your 500 calories a day torture you will return to your 2000 calories daily and your body will automatically store the excess 1500 calories into fat. The result will be catastrophic.
What should you do?
Do not try so drastic diets.
What should you do instead?
Try Medifast 5 & 1 Weight Loss Plan. It costs $299.50 for 4 weeks.
Currently is running a special discount offer – 2 Weeks of Medifast FREE! (Enter code GetTwo).
There are many things I can say about Medifast diet plan, you can read our Medifast review, or visit Medifast Official Site
But let’s go back to the reason why I started this post: Why can’t we keep the lost weight off for good. Well, Medifast has a great and very successful weight loss program that helps you reach your goal weight effortlessly and without starvation. But that’s not all:
Once you reach your goal weight, you should begin the Transition Plan. It introduces gradually calories to your diet, while giving your body the needed time to adjust to the new levels of calories and carbohydrates.
Once you pass the Transition Plan, here comes the weight Maintenance Plan, which encourages you to continue to use some of the Medifast diet meals in order not to re-gain the lost weight. 2 or 3 Medifast meals a day will help you greatly through the maintenance plan.
If you find it difficult to decide which Medifast meals to use, then you have no problems with the Momentum Package by Medifast, as this line of products is specially designed to assist all women and men with their weight maintenance plans. Momentum boosts metabolism to prevent gaining back the lost pounds.
You should not be worried that you will gain the weight back, as Medifast does not leave you alone once you reach your goal weight. Medifast diet plan has the Medifast Transition, Maintenance, and Exercise Plans pick up where the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan ends – they teach you how to sustain your weight loss results for long-term.

If you have never tried protein powders before then you don’t know what you are missing. I tried one a couple of weeks ago with chocolate flavor and I couldn’t believe I haven’t tried any before. It was surprisingly delicious and nutritious. I skipped an entire meal after taking a full glass of this tasty drink.
I searched a lot and found out that Wonderlife offer similar protein powder supplements to the one I used. Judging from their supplement facts they also taste great.
Whey Protein Powder
It offers you two different flavors – chocolate and vanilla. There is no way not to like one of them. Mine is chocolate
Whey protein is one of the best and most valuable proteins for human body. It is isolated from whey and is very easily digested and absorbed. Whey protein powders contain all of the essential amino acids in biologically significant amounts, which make them one of the best and most complete sources of proteins and amino acids you can find.
Whey proteins have three main forms: concentrate, isolate and hydrolysate. Wonderlife Whey Protein Powder contains all of them. Here are its ingredients in short: whey protein concentrate, partially predigested (hydrolyzed) whey protein concentrate, micro-filtered and ion-exchanged whey protein isolate.
Egg Protein Powder
If you love vanilla flavor then this egg protein powder is just for you.
Egg white protein is very high valued and very important for our bodies. It scores 1.0 at PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score), which is the most relevant measure of the quality of proteins for humans and by the way that is the official rating system used by the World Health Organization.
This egg white protein powder contains 23 g of proteins and 113 calories per serving. No sugar, no cholesterol and completely fat free.

(Also called Protal for “Proteins alternatives” by the creator of the diet – Dr. Pierre Dukan)
Dr. Dukan’s book (original french title: “e Ne Sais Pas Maigrir” (“I don’t know how to lose weight”) is for all who’ve tried to lose weight, for all who’ve been losing weight – too frequently and unsuccessfully– and for all who need the guarantee that in return of their hard weight loss efforts they will be able to lose weight successfully and keep it off forever.
The Dukan Diet is a weight loss program and a weight maintenance plan for life developed by the French nutritionist and eating behavior specialist Dr. Pierre Dukan.
With more than 30 years of experience, Dr. Pierre Dukan is a trust worthy health professional, whose books and remarkable work in nutrition and weight loss fields have made him an excellent nutritionist and diet expert.
The Dukan diet itself is not just a simple diet, it is a complete weight loss program or regime (you name it) that has 4 distinctive phases:
Protal I
 Attack phase – the “purely natural proteins” phase that is a kick-start to your quick weight loss in less than one week (usually 5 days).
Protal II
 Weight Loss phase – the “alternative proteins” phase during which you alternate ‘proteins’ and ‘proteins with vegetables’; and you reach your goal weight. But it’s the nest phase you need to keep that weight down…
Protal III
 Stabilization phase – the phase that keeps you from the negative Yo-yo effect of fast weight loss. This phase lasts 10 days per kilograms lost (so if you’ve lost 5 kilograms then this phase would last 50 days for you). During this phase many of the important foods are re-introduced to your menu (bread, cheese, fruits).
Protal IV
 Cruise phase – the one that lasts for the rest of your life (sounds scary, isn’t it), but it is so simple, effortless and not to be missed if you want to keep your lost weight forever… All you need to do is pick one day of the week (every week at the exact same day) to do the diet (the Attack phase).

Do you know what the best way is to cut carbs from your diet? It is simple – just substitute the high carb foods from your diet for healthy low carb alternatives. This is a very smart thing to do and you’ll benefit greatly from it. That’s what Dr. Arthur Agatston advises (he’s the author of the South Beach Diet).
The lower carb alternatives you gonna use should have identical taste as the original high carb foods. You will be very nicely surprised to find out that many of them actually taste better than the original high carb dishes.
 Sandwich
You can substitute Chinese and Napa cabbage for bread. This way you eliminate 29 grams of carbs per sandwich.
Use one leaf of the cabbage and roll it up with your favorite filling and if you like you can dip it in low-fat mayo. Delicious.
Pizza
 You can substitute Portobello mushroom for pizza crust. This way you eliminate 20 grams of carbs per pizza slice.
Cut the mushroom gills out and place the mushroom on an oiled cookie sheet and bake until it dries out a little. Add you favorite pizza topping (my favorite is tomato sauce, ham and sweet corn). Mmm, I got hungry
Pancakes
You can substitute Oatmeal and cottage cheese for pancake mix. This way you eliminate 45 grams of carbs per pancake.
Mix 2 eggs, ¼ cup of the cottage cheese and ½ cup of the oatmeal. Add vanilla, nutmeg or cinnamon
(you know the benefits of cinnamon). Make the mixture smooth and cook it like you do with the regular pancakes. I am going to try this immediately.
