Balance by bistroMD

With every one out pretending to help only Bistro and Balance by Bistromd come to the rescue. It is like having my own cooking and caring team Thank you

I am very pleased with the food quality and flavor. Most of all the service.

I have acid reflux so I’m limited to which meals I can eat without problems even though I like spicy foods. Your gourmet meals are delicious but some come back to haunt me. Haha. I’m now choosing those that don’t cause me problems when I reorder.

My Hubby and I ordered initially to make menu planning easy as we lost inches and body fat and keep ordering now because of convenience and great taste! The filters make it easy to choose foods that fit our picky priorities. Shipments are timely and packaging is easy to manage in the freezer and fridge. We also send meals to his Mom who is miles away, to be sure she always has something tasty on hand.

I ordered seafood dish and breakfast dish. Breakfast was fine. Nothing special about it. It is just same as Jimmy Dean you can buy from grocery. But the fish!! OMG It was so bad. Bad smell, old, and dull taste. It is just simply old ingredients. The side dish was okay but the bad fishy smel is soaked into side dish so it was not good either. I wish I was able to like it, because it is so easy solution for quick meal. But I could not torelate the fish at all (any fish dishes). I emailed customer service. They said "there is nothing wrong with dish and we wish your you success along your journey towards life-transforming wellness". Bad customer service.

I have purchased from Balance bistroMD, once.The food was inedible. It was spoiled. I threw it out. The only portion of my order that was edible, were snacks, and even then, not all were good tasting. I did like the pizza puffs and was thinking about ordering them again, but did not, as I do not want to support the company that sells poor quality product and does not post all user reviews about their company. I have already written the review for Balance by bistroMD reviews on yotpo, about my purchase and food experience and I cannot find it anywhere, may be because the review was not favorable

I enjoyed the offerings when I first tried BistroMD a couple years ago. I guess my taste in food is just a bit more simple than the target for this program. Almost all of the previous meals including chicken breast have disappeared in favor of more seafood, lamb, and lower quality ground beef and ground chicken. I still enjoy some of the breakfast offerings, but very few of the lunch/dinner meals are appealing.

I have really liked Balance by bistroMD because it offers much more flexibility than the structured BistroMD program, with the same delicious meals. However, recently it seems that many of the entrees that were available a couple of months ago are no longer there, without anything new to replace them. I particularly liked some of the salmon and tex-mex dishes, which have disappeared.

Not bad some dishes better than other ;)

There lots of choices so you can choose foods you enjoy. I Really like the food I have chosen. These meals are helping me on my mission to loose weight and be healthier by lowering my carb, sugar & sodium intake as my Dr's have directed. It is working, and it couldn't be simpler!

Good variety and selection of meal, reasonably priced.

I enjoy the variety and the ability to choose what meals I want. I would suggest cutting back on some of the seasonings such as black pepper in some breakfasts. I feel people can add it if they want it.

Fairelygood selection & would enjoy more frequent new selections.

Bad phone experience

The plan is a little more expensive, but the meals are delicious and they are perfectly balanced for diabetics and there are a lot of choices. The program allows you to gradually cut your order as you learn to design and cook your own meals, which is not easy and takes a long time, but you have the plan to help keep you on target as you learn. This is the best program out there I believe for losing the weight and learning how to keep it off. Thanks, Balance BistroMD!

I tried some other meal delivery programs. They were good, but required cooking. This plan is great, its "real food" already to eat, very convenient to re-heat, and so low in calories. Also, each meal is enough food. I'm a big guy, trying to loose weight. Calorie wise I could eat two meals for dinner and be good, but one meal is enough, and I cut down on calories. Good variety, tastes great.

I have tried them all, Balance by Bistro MD, Freshly, and New Vision. In my opinion, you win hands down! Better selection, better tasting meals, better pricing and free shipping! Very interesting that you are based in Florida, however, my meals are shipped from your kitchen in Dayton, Nevada about forty miles from Reno! Keep up the good selection and add more which I know you will continue!

Love the meals. Full of flavor and a balanced meal. So easy for a fast pace lifestyle and great if you are on a diet. This takes all the stress away from counting calories.

I threw away four new meals that were not good, but I kept the ones I liked. I tried to eat new meals so that I can vary food choices, but I will remain true to the meals that are best! Thank you!

First and foremost, Balance by BistroMD works. I’ve lost 10 pounds in the last month. And the food is pretty good. That should give them 5 stars. Second, everyone you will deal with at the company is extremely pleasant. That should result in those 5 stars being carved in stone. BUT… Their inventory management is terrible. They update what is available on Mondays but there are times when I order late because I am sure they haven’t updated yet. Last week, for example, there were 81 lunches/dinners available. This week there were 66. Plenty of entrees had sold out but not a single one was added (although a few snacks were.) I have diabetes which dropped the number I could choose from to 38. As a result, I have to spend much too much time every week trying to find enough items I’d like to order. (This is what brings it down to 4 stars.) As I said, the food is pretty good. Out of the 38 entrees I have ordered so far, 12 (32%) have been excellent and I order them every week they are available. 15 (39%) were good enough to reorder, some frequently. While I would rate the remainder as “edible” I know they might well be someone else’s favorite. Not everyone likes the same things. I do have a problem with lack of variety in the side dishes. I know any diet plan will include lots of broccoli and cauliflower and maybe the large number of dishes with okra is a result of the company being based in the South. But I know there are squashes, delicious ones, other than zucchini. (The menu also includes plenty of green beans, carrot and potatoes.) Edit: I wrote the above in April. I had been using Balance (the a la carte version) for a couple of months. It's now December. I order from Silver Cuisine by bistroMD now (the same food but the program has an AARP tie-in). My one major complaint was the inventory management and that got fixed a few months ago (I waited to make sure it wasn't a fluke). The food is still excellent and the selection is plentiful. (I'm talking about the lunch/dinner menu. There are quite a few breakfasts I like but I'm relying on them less. The only snacks I love are the cheesecakes.) There are cheaper programs elsewhere and I've tried several of them. The food is, by and large, edible but that's not good enough after a couple of months. I never lasted this long using any of them. And I've lost over 50 pounds.
