Has anyone tried Diet Chef?

I have just used a Groupon deal for Diet Chef and have ordered one month's supply of food.
I just wondered if anyone else has tried it and, if so, what was the food like and did it work for you?
Thanks

I haven't tried it but have thought about it. Or Jenny Craig. Hope someone with some information comes along soon.

Well if you're interested Vivienne the Groupon deal is 28 days for £95 which is much cheaper than usual.
I ordered mine yesterday and its being delivered today so certainly no problems with customer service so far.

Sorry, OP, I tried DietChef on a Groupon deal and found most of the stuff really grim. (A friend did very well with the Jenny Craig programme, which included their food products and weigh-ins, meetings and so on.)

Thanks INeed I'll look into it. Trying to eat healthily at the moment and lost about 7 lbs since November but have stalled.

There was a mn tester trial a whole ago. Worth checking out for reviews.

I seem to remember a unanimous vote to avoid the mushroom stroganof! I'll dig around and see if I can find it for you op

INeedSomeHelp · 17/02/2015 13:51

Thanks Optimist I have seen mixed reviews about the food quality. At least if it is awful I won't have paid full price for it!

Here you go OP.

I thought it was totally revolting and ended up chucking most in the bin. So much nicer calorie controlled food to be had. It's really a last last resort

I had been a customer for 10 months, good weight loss at first, plateau'd after about 5 months.

However god help you if there is ever an issue with their service.

just had an appalling experience trying to recover costs when they duplicated an order in error (£190 straight out of my account), refusing to refund until the pack they despatched (which i refused) gets back to them, ca 8 weeks !!!!!!!

Read the thread "Scammed by Diet Chef" my experience is almost exactly the same as the poor pensioner who started that thread 2 years ago. Truly appalling customer service. Kevin Dorran the chef who puts his name to it should be ashamed.

Appalling company.
