First Time Mom and Losing It

Thank you DietToGo for sending me a 3 day sample of the Carb30 plan for an honest review. 



The key to staying on track when you are on a weight loss journey is to be prepared! Even though I know that I still find myself unprepared at times. These times are the ones where I have to make choices outside of my home. Although you can go to a restaurant and order something you think is low carb, there can be lots of hidden carbs.

This summer has been busy for my little family as we enjoy the last time my daughter will be home all day. She will be starting kindergarten in late August so we are spending as much quality time as possible. I honestly would rather be at the pool with my daughter than in the kitchen meal prepping for hours. This is when DietToGo came to me at the perfect time.


DietToGo is a meal delivery company that offers three different plans of healthy and clean foods. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is all planned for you within the macros that is right for you. You don't have to think about what to eat, count calories, or cook. All you have to do is look at the menu of the day, pull out the meal, and heat it up.



Since I am following a ketogenic diet I picked the Carb30 plan. DietToGo has perfectly calculated 3 meals every day that equal up to 30 carbs a day. It's that easy and that tasty too. Everything I had was super delicious and fresh tasting. All of the meals tasted like a personal chef came to cook at my place and not like a frozen TV dinner. The ingredient list of each meal was very minimal and full of whole foods. Unlike the frozen diet meals I have purchased at the supermarket, the DietToGo meals kept me satisfied until the next meal.




DietToGo also offers a Balanced menu plan where you get a little bit of everything that is calorie controlled. The Balance-Diabetes plan is perfect for Diabetics and Pre-diabetics to help keep blood sugar under control. There is even a Vegetarian option.

Have you ever tried a meal delivery company? 

Weight: I gained 0.4 pounds for a adjusted total loss of 54.6 pounds. I was surprised to see a gain after having a good week. I decided to take some measurements and see if I lose any inches in a couple of weeks since the scale has not been good to me.

Nutrition: I was lucky to get to review a whole week of the Diet-To-Go meals (review coming soon) so it was super easy to stay on track. The meals were so satisfying that I didn't even have the urge to snack in between meals. I did go out to eat a couple times for dinner but  limited my portions so I would keep my calorie consumption under control.

Exercise: I went to the gym twice and did some Zumba YouTube Videos one day. I found my old iPod and took it with me to the gym to listen to my oldies but goodies. I walked a lot and ran around with my daughter in the park. I love that she is more into the jungle gyms than the swings now.

I found an awesome strength training video on MagRack and did it three times this week. I was pretty amazed that I could do everything on the video. I even did the bicycle core exercises which is something I couldn't do before. I bought this really thick and large anti-fatigue mat that I found in a discount store and laid it on top of my area rug. This gave me extra cushioning so I wouldn't bother my landlord downstairs.
