I just completed a 28 day PTF plan. The veggies are fine..plain frozen just like you'd get at any grocery store. The protein is a mixed bag. Some of the items are really good and some are not. Basically, the burgers and sausages are not the best. The rest of the options are fine. The breakfasts are really good. My biggest gripe with the program is that unless you ask, there is no nutritional information nor a structured plan included in the order. If you email, they will send it, but otherwise not. Overall, it is a diet that you can easily replicate from the supermarket.

Sent an email about the quality of the last few shipments and no response.

Quality has declined. The PTF staff are great. I used their products several years ago... and just ordered again a couple weeks ago. I absolutely love the price and the convenience, however the quality of their meats has significantly decreased over the last few years, so its hard to give them more than 3 stars. I remember the days of big quality chicken breast meat. In the past, they would have received 5 stars from me but I'm not going to reorder again.

The first shipment of food was outstanding. I've noticed a huge downhill progression with each subsequent shipment.

The food is just okay. The vegetables are acually the best part. They are pre-portioned and steam well in the bag. The meat feels heavily processed and is salty. The food also arrived a day later than expected, which was fine since we weren't planning to start that day - but was a disappointing experience. They assign you a "trainer" to text and motivate you. I ended up with someone that can't read a calendar. She sent canned texts (which makes sense for the program), but couldn't grasp that we were starting on a Monday and I almost think she got it wrong so we would just ask her to stop. My husband and I are doing it together. We split a 28 day lunch/dinner pack over 2 weeks. I wouldn't buy it, again - but it was a good jump start to changing our diet pre-summer.

The food is OK but gets very boring. The nutritionist is a robot, so it's misleading to say a nutritionist is available to you at all times. Even via email, they respond with answers that can be found on the website. The breakfasts were my favorite, but everything just got super very mundane. It's so strict that I would find it impossible to keep it up after the 30 days. I was also so weak that I couldn't keep up any form of exercise besides the walking. I enjoy working out, so this was a real bummer. My skin does look healthier, and I a lot of my bloating went away. However, I didn't use the 'bathroom' for 8 days straight....so I think the fiber content isn't there. I'm not obese and was looking to lose around 10-15 pounds, so I think maybe this program is better well suited for those that are looking to really lost some weight and drastically change their eating habits. You also need to have super human self control, but it doesn't allow for ANY cheats. Unfortunately for me, self control is not a friend of mine.

I think the chicken (non breaded ones) all have very different textures, most of them are rubbery. I get very sick of the vegatables very quickly. But I love the breakfasts and some of the proteins (pork rib, steak fajitas, chicken breast tenders, dill chicken bites, most of the breaded check in general). But again, I disliked most of the other checks proteins, which I ordered a lot of.

The Rev product provides a lot of vegetables...that I hate...I can eat them in small quantities...But to have to eat 2 bags every evening is more than I can take. I found myself eating a few with lunch and skipping the dinner vegetable meal...There has to be a better/more enjoyable way to lose weight...with food.
