Bistro MD Vs. Biggest Loser - Playing The Health Game

The American obesity epidemic has opened people's eyes about the value of good nutrition and exercise. Gym memberships have skyrocketed with another establishment popping up at every corner. However, exercising by itself will not result to an optimum weight loss. Proper diet is responsible for the other half. This is usually the Achilles Heel of people trying to lose weight. They squeeze in a workout in their hectic schedule as often as they can. But what they neglect doing is allotting enough time to shop for and cook a healthy meal. They end up ordering take out or driving through a fast food joint. This completely erases all their efforts at the gym.

This need is what gave birth to home delivery weight loss meal plans. There are many out there on the Internet. Basically, one could just go online or pick up the phone and order. The food, cooked, frozen, and packed, will be delivered to his home frozen. All he has to do is defrost and stick it in the microwave. Bistro MD is one of the top and most availed of meal plan home delivery service. The Biggest Loser, derived from the show, partnered with Bistro MD for its meal plans.

Team Bistro MD

Bistro MD boasts of healthy gourmet quality food prepared by world-class chefs and designed by dieticians. They do not serve processed food; their meals are prepared fresh, frozen and sealed to maintain that freshness, and delivered to a home in a cooler filled with dry ice to prevent spoilage during travel. All meals go through a mandatory inspection and can only be sent out if approved by the doctors. They offer a 5-day and a 7-day plan with three whole meals with or without snacks.

Team Biggest Loser

The nutritionist of the show, Cheryl Forberg, RD, developed menus similar to those used by the contestants on the show. The meal plan is then partnered with Bistro MD's services. Bistro MD's chefs cook and pack the food and then delivered with the same shipping service in the same way. Only two meal plans are available: a 5-day and a 7-day with three meals and two snacks.

Final Score: Bistro MD vs. Biggest Loser

In this match of Bistro MD vs. Biggest Loser, the latter wins only because of the show it is made after. Bistro MD has very positive feedback from its customers. They love the food and are really experiencing weight loss. However, this program does not push exercise as a key factor in any weight loss plan. On the other hand, Biggest Loser is known by all as a fitness show that heavily advocates exercising. The contestants are shown on TV doing grueling workouts. The diet part is kind of glossed over though, so this meal plan acts as a supplement to the show. Also, Biggest Loser published an exercise guide, has a support team online, and is less expensive than Bistro MD.
