Sometimes you just can't make it into the kitchen to cook. Dr. Gourmet has reviewed some common convenience foods, ingredients, and restaurant selections so that you know what's worth eating - and what's not.
Lose weight the right way - the healthy way! - by following a clinically proven diet plan. And learn how to keep it off - for good!
Just Tell Me What to Eat: The Dr. Gourmet Diet Plan is an easy-to-follow diet for real people who live in the real world. So what does that really mean?
Create a two-week custom meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner, for yourself or your entire family - even kids under 14! NO making separate meals.
Shopping lists are automatically generated. Just print and shop for the next two weeks of meals.
Frozen meal options for lunch or dinner (such as Lean Cuisine or Weight Watchers).
Easy, kid-friendly meals with leftovers for lunches or later in the week.
Special diet options include Comfort Food (great for families with kids!), Vegetarian (lacto-ovo), low sodium, lactose intolerant, Coumadin (warfarin) use, GERD / Acid Reflux safe, and gluten allergies (celiac disease). All meal plans are safe for type 2 diabetics because they are based on the Mediterranean Diet, which is known to be the best diet for type 2 diabetics. Combine special needs if needed: low sodium and lactose intolerant? Coumadin and celiac disease? Just select the options and get your delicious meal plan!
Other websites charge you as much as $29.95 per month for this service, but Just Tell Me What to Eat: The Dr. Gourmet Diet Plan is completely free. (We don't even ask for your credit card information.)
These frozen foods and convenience meals meet the Dr. Gourmet minimum criteria: less than about 650 milligrams of sodium with a reasonable amount of calories and fat. Then we rate them for flavor.
Dr. Harlan does not receive and will not accept compensation for his reviews of frozen foods and convenience meals. If you would like Dr. Gourmet to review your product, we are happy to do so, provided that you understand that if we do not like it, we will say so. Please read our Advertising and Editorial policy.
