Managing My Subscription

How do I determine what program to select?

All of our programs are designed for metabolic correction and geared toward weight loss, providing around 1200 calories per day via 3 meals and 2 protein snacks daily for women and around 1400 calories per day via 3 meals and 3 protein snacks daily for men.

Each day you will receive around 40\% of daily calories from lean protein, 30\% from healthy fat, and 30\% from complex carbohydrates. The plans outside of our Signature program have special features to target different nutritional needs based on your health.

Heart Healthy Program: Our heart-healthy plan offers meals and snacks that are lower in sodium (600 mg or less per meal and 250mg or less per snack) and saturated fat (3.5 mg or less per meal and 2.5 mg or less per snack). Generally, members who benefit from this level of restriction are those with high blood pressure/are sensitive to salt, high cholesterol, and/or those with a history of heart illness.

Diabetic and Menopause Program: Our diabetic and menopause programs follow the same protocol and offer the same meals/snacks. These plans offer meals that are lower in net carbohydrates (25g net carbs or less per meal and 15g net carbs or less per snack) to help keep blood sugar stable and facilitate weight loss. Net carbohydrates are calculated by subtracting the grams of fiber from the total carbohydrate, as fiber is beneficial but generally does not impact blood sugar.

Through research, we have found women who are pre/post-menopausal or have a history of PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) or gestational diabetes often have some form of insulin resistance, which is a prediabetic condition.

Gluten-Free Program: Our gluten-free program excludes wheat, rye and barley and is appropriate for someone with Celiac Disease or non-Celiac gluten sensitivity.

Signature Program: Our signature program includes all meals that are on all of the other programs, but without the specific restrictions listed above.

If you have certain medical conditions and you are not sure if you need to combine/modify/customize your program, please contact customer service so that we can help determine what would be the best plan for you.

What can I expect with bistroMD?

With your busy life, it can be difficult to find balance. You can expect from your bistroMD program:
  • Reoccurring, weekly meal plan with the proper macronutrients for efficient fat burning

How do I start my program?

As you eagerly await your first dellivery, we recommend creating freezer space. Once you receive your order, unpack and organize each day's meals in your freezer, placing them from back to front. Keep all meals frozen until 24 hours before use.

The night before, transfer the meals for the upcoming day to the refrigerator for thawing, ensuring more even reheating. Refer to the provided instructions for cooking guidance. Most meals can be microwaved in under 5 minutes, and our meal trays are microwave-safe and BPA-free.

Enjoy all prescribed meals and snacks to ensure you're keeping your body fueled and nourished. Please reach out to our dietitian team at dietitian@bistromd.com if you have any questions at all.

Stay mindful of the deadlines for customizing your menu, making changes, or placing your plan on hold.

Do you have recipes I can try on my night(s) off of the program?

We sure do! Our dietitians regularly publish content every week on a wide range of topics. Check our health library for healthy recipes you can make. The health library also has dining out and grocery shopping tips. Healthy, sustainable weight loss is all about choices so we do our best to make it easy

Do I have breaks from the program?

Yes, with both our 5 and 7 day plans there are breaks in the program.

Our 7 day program members get a “My Night” or free meal each week as a structured break from the program.

We also make it easy to skip weeks if you need to take a break for vacation or any other reason!
