I love this diet is a healthy alternative spun off of the Jenny Craig diet in freezer meal form. It focuses on a low calorie, low sodium meal plan style program, and all of the meals are pre-made for the customer. It’s meal plan uses dishes from companies like Lean Cuisine, Smart Ones, Kashi, Simply Balanced, Healthy Choice, and other supermarket freezer meals that appear healthy to the outward eye. Right on the website it says that the diet was created by registered dieticians, but it does not go into anymore detail about this at all.* Does that mean registered dieticians who actually created individual programs like Jenny Craig, Kashi etc. or did they actually have dieticians working on “I love this diet”?!
You are able to sign up for a subscription on the “I love this diet” website for around $50.00 for six months, or $60.00 for an entire year. The food is obviously purchased separately, so the cost of the website and membership will get you coupon codes for the freezer meals, and some information on the kinds of meals to purchase. That is it. This is very limited in my opinion, and already does not seem like a great weight loss program. They state that you will lose a small amount of weight per week on this freezer meal diet, which is very small in the grand scheme of things.
Do Dieters Lose Weight On The “I Love This Diet” Program?
The weight loss seen by customers has been very slow, and it probably is due to the amount of calories allowed per day. When you sign up, it will give you one of five different calorie options, all which fall between 1,300 and 1,850 calories per day. The options for food can be anything from bagels to breakfast parfaits and soufflés. As we are all aware, this is high in carbohydrates, and sugar, which does not help someone with weight loss. Because the weight loss is so small per week, it will take a long time for someone to reach their weight loss goals with this diet.
Is The “I Love This Diet” Easy To Follow?
This diet consists of just freezer meals, which is not hard to follow in general. The problem with the diet is how many processed foods you will be consuming, and it may not make you feel your best throughout the diet. If you get sick of the freezer meals, there is an option to cook directly from the “Love Cookbook” on the membership website. There are over 275 meals to choose from which makes the diet easier to follow than others, however it’s the idea of eating primarily processed freezer meals that makes my stomach turn.
Conclusion
This diet is cheap to access but what are you really paying for? Wouldn’t it be easier to just go to the store, pick what you like, add up the calories which are clearly listed on the packaging and be done with it. Recipes available on the site are great but in this day and age there are so many incredibly creative food blogs, online magazines and social media sites that offer all of that for free. Will you lose weight? Yes, the weight will come off at the slower rate but you will achieve your goals if you don’t get sick from the same variety of food required to consume for a long time, to achieve even the smallest of weight loss goals.* What is very important to remember here is the quality of food you will be ingesting. Just the word prepackaged means that it is not fresh, it also means that it most likely contains additives and high sodium amounts to offset the low calorie taste.
Easier is not always better, actually in most cases in life it is the opposite. You get what you pay for and when it comes to weight loss and healthy nutrition you pay with your health.
