As a nutrition counselor, I am often guilty of doing exactly what I tell my clients NOT to do i.e. don’t skip breakfast, don’t let your blood sugar plummet, don’t starve yourself, practice portion control …you get the picture. I was like the cobbler whose children had no shoes, I know what to do but didn’t or couldn’t find the time prepare my meals.
So I decided to order FRESHOLOGY to not only test it out for busy clients but to have an easy way to shed a few pounds and practice what I preach, that is regular, portion controlled eating of clean, unprocessed foods.
Let me start with the packaging, since the box of food had to sit in my foyer until I got home, I was worried about refrigeration and safely……no problem. The packaging is space age, with an outer insulation and the food inside surrounded by ice packs which were still frozen by the time I opened the box. Each day is color coded and there is a full color explanation making what you should eat ridiculously easy to follow. The food was fresh and beautifully prepared. For example the dinner of rosemary scented turkey breast with sauteed broccolini and balsamic glaze came with thick slices of REAL roasted turkey and carrots and broccolini that was crisp tender and fresh….the balsamic glaze lent a piquant touch and it was substantial enough to be filling before torn open the dessert of carrot bundt cake with cream cheese frosting. In fact all the desserts were great, my favorite being the dark chocolate caramel cookies. Truth be told I love the little trays that the food comes in reminiscent of TV Dinners I got as a kid when my parents went out….however this is REAL FOOD, not processed….even the cut up fruits and salads are crisp and fresh…as good or better than I get at my local store. The real benefit was coming home to a meal….not having to think or plan AND losing a few pounds since I never got so hungry that I grabbed for the closest morsel of (often forbidden) food.
I am definitely recommending this diet delivery program to my clients. Freshology will take the angst out of dieting for them. My only problem with it??? I had the urge to open all the packages to take a taste of each when I got them….luckily that urge subsided after I ate the appointed meal. The satisfying meal and dessert was the cure.
