South Beach Diet

I know the South Beach Diet works if you want to take the initiative and understand what you need to eat, however, I chose the lazy man's route and ordered the month's worth of prepared frozen entrees, shakes and bars.

Some of the bars are ok. And I can honestly say I haven't tried the shakes yet, however, the frozen meals are terrible. You'll lose weight for sure if you don't eat. They are inedible garbage that I wouldn't feed to a dog. I disliked them so much I paid an additional $125 to break my contract and not have them send me any more food if that tells you anything. I just think for the price you pay, you should get something that tastes similar to food.

If I could give zero stars, that would've been my choice.

You will receive an exorbitant amount of processed food that tastes absolutely awful. Don’t waste your money. You’d be better off buying a South Beach cookbook if that’s the recipe plan you wish to follow. I have tried several plans, and it all goes back to healthy fresh foods and exercise. Please don’t waste your time or money like I unfortunately experienced. Beware.

In my opinion, the South Beach Diet program is a complete rip-off. I ordered their "special" at $12.14 a day total was $349 after tax I guess and today I got my delivery. It is absolute garbage. Tiny little packages of frozen food that doesn't even fit into one hand is supposed to be a breakfast. Boxes of shake mixes and candy bars. There a few mini frozen meals that are smaller than what you get in a grocery store for $3.39. Then I called and said please don't send any more orders and they told me ok if you cancel before an auto shipment we will bill you an penalty of $125! I paid over $500 for a box of junk food.

Please don't buy this terrible food. Diet-To-Go is much better; South Beach diet delivery food is a complete rip-off.

The food sent by this plan is disgusting; meat is low-quality and flavorless, and the plan sends you massive amounts of food all at once that no regular person has room for in their freezer. That leaves you also with lots of packaging to have to recycle. Nowhere are you ever warned about the massive amounts of packaging and freezer room you will need.

I asked specifically that spicy foods not be sent and actually requested the meals that I wanted, but they didn’t honor that request and sent lots of foods I didn’t ask for. When I called to cancel, they made it nearly impossible; you can't cancel online, you have to call to do so, and when you do, they transfer you to a highly trained retention specialist whose sole job is to talk you out of canceling. I persisted, but the retention specialist then told me about some hidden wording that said I still must pay them $125 more! Seriously?

My freezer is still full of their gross food that I haven't eaten in 2 months and likely never will, yet they insist I still owe them $125? I think not.

Firstly, the cancellation process is not easy. You can't cancel online. You have to call them, and if you cancel before the second delivery, you are back charged a $125 auto-delivery discount from your first order. I was not aware of this discount when I ordered. The rep didn't mention this when I placed my order by phone.

Next, the food was so horrible and bland I can't take another order, even if I wanted to avoid the back charge of $125. I threw the box of food in the dumpster after trying many of the meals. The food looks and tastes horrible.

I am not new to diet plans or delivery diet plans like Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem. This is the worst diet plan I've ever tried. I lost 16 lbs on my own so far in 2018 without this gimmick. I learned an expensive lesson by ordering this and wasting my money. I returned to the basics of eating healthy foods, counting calories and drinking lots of H20.

The food is not good at all. It is very, very pricey. I called to cancel in my second week (I paid $300 for a month of food), and they said I have to pay a $125.00 cancellation fee if I don't subscribe for at least two months. This is how they get you. I thought it was guaranteed. Do NOT waste your money!

There were not to be any frozen foods. Yea right, almost everything was frozen. I have $400+ to be thrown away, no place to keep it. I eliminated all shakes, popcorn, and add eggs, etc. They don't care and send what they want. If you don't like their products, they charge you $125.00 to stop. As far as I am concerned, this is a SCAM. When you call, they are not interested, just explain to you how you don't know what you are doing. If you ask for a supervisor, they will not have one. Buyer beware. One star only because I was required. It should be a minus.

Unfortunately, I have had such a horrible experience with their customer service. As a first-time person signing up, everything was amazingly smooth. Then they ignore you. I was on hold for nearly an hour today once again, and the person still could not help me. I finally got smart and called on the line that said "first-time customer" and it was picked up immediately, and the girl is trying to help me with my situation.

I do not need this stress, and neither do you! I highly recommend you go somewhere else for your diet delivery products.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

What a rip off. Food is okay, but they demand a minimum of two orders after you pay a ridiculous $450+ for the initial order. Not worth it. Shakes and bars taste like sawdust. Stay away.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Please be sure you are aware that if you try the SBD on auto delivery and accept the $50 reduced cost, you will have to pay a cancelation fee of $125 if you cancel after the first month. I did not like the food, and most of the package was shakes and bars. I could purchase much better shakes and bars at GNC for less cost. I did not enjoy the majority of the food.

Do not use this product. All it is boxed food like Atkins. You might as well go to the store and purchase any of the frozen foods, that is what it is. I thought it would be fresh food like a Home Chef, where they send you ingredients, instructions, you cook yourself. I was wrong, it is just a big box of boxed food. They are very expensive, and if you have a question, they are very unresponsive. I tried three times to cancel my auto-ship delivery and had no response, until finally five days later someone canceled it. Then they tell me we are going to charge you even more money to cancel your auto delivery. Needless to say, I had to pay an additional $125.00 to cancel my order. Do not use this product. I warned you.
