Oh no! Is this for the south beach diet delivery service I keep seeing online? I ordered it to give it a try. It's chemical filled crap? Yikes! Guess I shouldn't be surprised. Ugh....

So since I ordered the "south beach.com" diet before I checked MFP and it was too late to cancel, here's a couple things worth noting (incase anyone checks this thread in the future and is curious because their website doesn't give much info at all) from my order that arrived today:

1) you can only order a month at a time and all of the meals come frozen. Hopefully they change that in the future because I doubt many people have enough room in their freezer. A month of frozen meals arrived at my front door in a 50+ ilb cooler that was too heavy for me to lift. I had to open it outside, in the snow no less, and bring in the frozen meal cartons a few at a time. My entire freezer is now packed (and it's a huge subzero freezer) with frozen SB meals.
2) the first thing I noticed is that the packaging is really nice. If they sold these at Whole Foods I'd probably try them BUT on the down side, they look like super small meals. The calories for the breakfast dishes range from 100-200 and between 200-300 for the lunch and dinners. That's so low! The cartons are labeled with phase 1 - for the first two weeks, and phase 2 for the second two weeks.
3) the guide that came with it says that you have to supplement the microwave meals they sent with an extra 3 oz of protein, a couple servings of non-starchy vegetables, and 2-3 servings of healthy fat a day. I thought this was an all-inclusive deal? I'm annoyed already. There's a few good brochures and a colorful guide that comes with the shipment and explains everything. They also include a cute week by week planner with SB eating tips, exercise ideas, and motivational thoughts.
4) I'm used to eating organic meats from Whole Foods so I knew this was going to be an adjustment. I'm glad that the ingredient list doesn't include a laundry list of chemicals, but the first dish I tried (chicken Roma) had less than savory chicken bits that were a little chewy after 4 minutes in the microwave. The green beans and sauce, however, were rather tasty. I'm a picky with my meats though so if you don't mind microwaveable meals then this may not be a bad choice for you.

I ordered the delivery for convenience sake because I just had a baby and want to lose my baby weight and avoid the hassle of grocery shopping and cooking for the first few weeks. I'm going to try and stick with it for a month. I'm not thrilled that's it's all microwaveable fare but maybe that along with the fact that the meat is not high quality will help me eat less and lose more? Wishful thinking.

Did I mention the small portions? Lol. Here's a comparison to a lemon and a dollar bill to give you an idea.. and keep in mind the breakfast dishes are about half this size and half the calories...
