The Fourth of July has come and gone but there's plenty of time this summer for you to declare your independence from your extra fat!
At Diet-to-Go, we hold this truth to be self-evident: Not all diets are created equal. Therefore, you need to arm yourself with a plan of action you can stick with through thick and thin.
In other words, don't fall for a trendy weight loss plan that has you eating only certain foods while totally waving goodbye to others, or a regimen that forces you to exchange entire meals for "cookies" or shakes. (Sorry Snooki, but that cookie diet is sure going to crumble when you go back to eating "normal" food again.)
Okay, so now that you are ready to declare war on your weight, what next step should you take?
We recommend you link up with a trusted ally – a company that has been in the weight-loss business for some 19 years now. That company, of course, is Diet-to-Go.
To get a taste of what we have to offer, go to www.DiettoGo.com and check out our program. We serve up three different, but totally delicious, meal plans – Balance, Vegetarian and Low-Carb. And each of these meal plans has five full weeks of different menus.
All the food is chef-inspired and comes to you in one of two ways. You can have it flash-frozen and delivered to your doorstep via Fed Ex or, if you live in certain metropolitan areas, you can pick it up fresh-chilled twice a week at major fitness centers and other Partners in Health locations.
By becoming a client of ours, you remove all the guesswork and stress that typically goes with dieting.
We've planned the menus. We'll cook the food. We'll ship you your complete meals. You'll heat and eat the yummy meals. Best of all, you'll lose weight without counting calories or points, without plotting menus, and without shopping for food.
Sounds good doesn't it? It did to me – and that is why I have been a member on and off for the past decade. I am currently on the 1,600 calories per day, Traditional Low-Fat plan and have lost 17 pounds in just four weeks.
Diet-to-Go is ready to become your personal chef so you can lose weight without stress. But there is one thing that we strongly urge you to do (since you have so much free time now that you don't need to shop for food or cook your meals)...
We want you to show you are serious about weight loss by adding activity to your lifestyle. This doesn't have to mean purchasing expensive exercise equipment for your home. All it takes is putting one foot in front of the other, then repeating many times several days a week.

Sure, you may be able lose weight without added activity. But, you'll lose more weight if you work out in conjunction with eating right!
