After going through with one week of all veggie lunch and dinner, I am now venturing into a whole day diet meal service. And since I can't accommodate early morning deliveries, I took my chances on ordering 1 week of Yummy Diet meals. They deliver your meals the night before you start your diet which I was reluctant at first because of possible food spoilage. Lucky enough, no food went to waste as long as you immediately place your meals in the refrigerator once you get it. Read on to find out how my experience went...
Day 1
Breakfast: Sunny Ham & Cheese and Black Coffee
AM Snacks: Orange
Lunch: Baked Mayonnaise Fish with Steamed Red Rice
PM Snacks: Ginataang Mais Oatmeal
Dinner: Grilled Chicken with Pesto Sauce and Hot Tea
Day 1 Review:
My first day with YummyDiet was really hard. I was so stunned at how small each meal portion was compared to what I previously had with LunchBoxDiet. It took me a lot of convincing to not be tempted to eat anything else except for the ones they provided.
Anyways, my breakfast was quite indulging you won't even think that you're on a diet except for the fact that your sandwich is missing the top slice of bread. hehehe But come past 9AM my tummy already started to grumble. Even though I am not fond of oranges, I had to eat it because I was hungry but after devouring the slightly ripe orange my stomach was only half-contented.
Here come lunch time, my greatest peril of all was to see how so small my meal was. So I ate my food really slowly so as to savor every bite of it. The fish was really good by the way. And since I left my dinner at home, I opted to eat my afternoon snacks at late 5PM so that I won't get that hungry on my way home. The Ginataang Mais oatmeal was delicious, I wonder how they made it taste like that.
As I reached home past 7PM, I quickly heated my meal and prepared my hot tea. My head was already spinning and aching from hunger. My chicken was disappointingly dry - maybe I heated it too long but I did love the pesto sauce it had. And so ends my 1st day with YummyDiet, I hope I adapt to this fast because I don't like having a light and aching head while at work.
Day 2
Breakfast: Mushroom Stronganoff with Garlic Red Rice and Black Coffee
AM Snacks: Apple
Lunch: Fish and Cream Cheese Roll Ups
PM Snacks: Choco Dipped Grapes
Dinner: Chicken Marsala with Steam Red Rice and Hot Tea
Day 2 Review:
I woke up this morning happy to see that my breakfast had rice but unfortunately my viand was only mushrooms. It was tasty and juicy but was not that filling. The black coffee was actually the one that made my stomach full.
While in office, I opted to eat the grapes for my morning snack because I think the chocolate started to smell weird. It was a really bad idea to coat the grapes with chocolate - I didn't feel that it was a good combination. As for lunch, I also swapped it with my dinner meal which was the chicken marsala. Once again, their chicken was dry. Another unsatisfying lunch for me. The only treat I had out of my YummyDiet meal was the small apple which was crunchy and juicy.
Come dinner time, my head was once again spinning from hunger that I had to eat something filling so once again I broke my diet by eating out with my husband. We only had sushi, gyoza and hot tea so I did not feel that guilty for doing so.
I did ate my supposedly lunch time meal the next day in addition to my breakfast. I sure am glad I did not take the roll ups as my lunch time because it won't surely give me the energy I need for my day. It had too little tuna on it too.
Day 3
Breakfast: Bacon & Spinach Scramble with Garlic Red Rice and Black Coffee
AM Snacks: Banana
Lunch: Sauteed Pork with Lemon & Parsley and Steamed Red Rice
PM Snacks: None
Dinner: Royal Cucumber Sandwich and Hot Tea
Day 3 Review:
Yes, you read that right! There's no afternoon snack provided. =(
Fortunately my day turned out to be a busy one so my stomach didn't ask for a morning snack.
Today's breakfast was admittedly yummy but in really small portion. I just wish they gave me more of those egg scramble. As for my lunch, I was surprised to see pork on my plate but immediately got disappointed after taking my first bite into it. It was bland with just a little hint of lemon.
And once again, my battle with dinner time hunger strikes again. I didn't eat my dinner time meal again because I am already getting famished from the work and travel time from office going home that I had to grab a bite to any nearby food I see. I did ate the cucumber sandwich the next day for my breakfast and it was terrible! Just imagine, thinly sliced cucumber and cheese on a sandwich?! Oh how my husband pitied seeing me go through all these meals.
AM Snack: Baby Mango
Lunch: Pinoy-style Chicken Curry with Steamed Red Rice
PM Snack: Turon
Dinner: Corned Beef Pandesal and Hot Tea
Day 4 Review:
I can't believe my eyes as I open my 4th day package. Never in my entire life did I ever see a mango this small! And it's ripe too! I wonder if they own a bonsai mango tree to be able to get such a small-sized mango. Amazing! But I am not happy to only have to eat this small of a mango for my snack.
For today, I loved my breakfast. The tapa slices were tasty and the greens were fresh. The only con was the dressing, I think it was too sour. Lunch time was also a delight - even though the serving was small, I appreciate that it was flavorful and for the first time, their chicken was not that dry.
My merienda was a slightly seared turon which had a not so ripe banana on it. It was not bad but not as good either. Dinner time was also a sad meal, they provided a really small pandesal - smaller than the mango they gave for that day. And the feeling was just ordinary corn beef. The one really big off from this meal were the potato chips because all soggy and oily. =(
Day 5
Breakfast: Skillet Souffle with Greens and Black Coffee
AM Snack: Apple
Lunch: Tofu Noodle Salad with Orange-Sesame Dressing
PM Snack: Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches
Dinner: Sausage, Chicken, & Vegetable Skewers and Hot Tea
Day 5 Review:
Yehey! Today is my last yummy diet meal. My breakfast for the day was good. It had greens and salsa, a small pandesal and two slices eggs. I was not able to eat my apple though because it was weirdly sticky. I washed it several times already yet the skin was still sticky so I didn't dared eat it unless it's peeled.
Lunch this time was Asian pasta and it was yummy. But once again, I hoped that it had more. Not soon enough I was already uber hungry that I had to eat the peanut butter jelly sandwiches that was only half of a sandwich portion.
I failed to eat my dinner time meal again and ate them for breakfast the next day instead. The sausages were burnt and the chicken was dry. The mashed potato was just so so.
Overall:
I would not want to go through this again. Their meal portions were absurdly small and did not give me enough energy to go through my day. My stomach was constantly grumbling and my head ached in the afternoon. Their diet meal package really made me feel that I was on a diet which urged me to eat other food aside from what they provided. Although their delivery was always on time, the quality of the food and nutrition I get from them is still what's important to me. But this is just my opinion, feel free to try it out yourself. Yummy Diet just won't work out for me.
