Like most of us, over the last few years the pounds had gradually crept on, being tall the weight didn't really show but I knew that waistbands and clothes were gradually getting tighter. It was only when I saw a photo of myself in a skirt I thought looked quite nice that I realised something had to be done as the skirt didn't look good on at all! Not being motivated by the idea of going to a communal weigh in I saw a leaflet for Tesco Diets, looked at it in more detail on line and decided... (read more)

I have been struggling with my weight for a very long time. My busy life with lots of socialising and occasions doesn't help. Catching meals on the run can also make things hard. I like the support of the mentors who always give encouragement. I am very conscious of portion control and tend to weigh items I am not sure about. I always weigh rice, potatoes, meats etc. I have also become more aware of hidden fats and sugars. I use the Totals plan because it suits my lifestyle and I... (read more)

I am now at goal and have found the diet really easy to do. I have enjoyed the simple cooking involved and the recipes were very easy to follow. Also I have tried things I would not have done before. I do not eat meat and only a little fish and the plan has worked really well. I did a Slimming World diet several years ago and I reached goal but then put the weight back on again fairly quickly. I am relying on this diet to help me keep to the straight and narrow. I particularly... (read more)

I have been using Tesco Diets for sometime now. I use it even though I am very close to my target weight because it includes a food journal which enables me to keep an eye on what I am eating. Things I like: The food diary The opportunity to speak to mentors The range of diets you can follow Value for money Paying with Clubcard vouchers Things I like less: You cannot enter a whole recipe like you can in Weightwatchers - this means if I bake something I have to try to work out how much...

I had been unhappy with my weight for a while now and felt that I needed to take positive steps to getting it under control. I had looked around at various weight loss sites and was undecided about which one to choose. A friend at work recommended Tesco Diets as she had tried it and her daughter had, and both had been successful on it. So I signed up to Tesco Diets, it was very easy process, and the website is so easy to use. The menu selections are varied and I have tried foods I would... (read more)

Would you like a diet loss program that is kind to your wallet and does work? The Tesco Diets could be just for you. It contains tasty various recipes and is cheaper than Weightwatchers. You get help and encouragement from the mentors online and you can write your own blog and follow different forums. If you would like an exercise program then it could be added just for your needs. Tesco Diet is not complicated at all. I have tried both Weightwatchers and Ducan but the best result I received... (read more)

I've already told all my friends and colleagues about Tesco Diets when they've commented on how much healthier I'm looking these days and ask me how I've done it. I'm much slimmer, of course, but with loads more energy and feeling so much happier too. I bring a packed lunch to work and it always looks more appealing than what is on offer in the canteen.

I am really so pleased with the levels of support and encouragement that I receive. I am in regular contact with the advisor, but if she is not around, then all the other members of the team are there to help.

This is my third time using Tesco diets.I have always found the mentors very supportive always making positive encouraging comments. The 'Totals' plan suits my current circumstances and I am pleased to be losing weight. My favourite option is being able to add my own Totals item, so easy just copying in the info from product packaging. I don't particularly like the recording of water, 5 a day, calcium, tea & coffee intake. I feel that I am aware of these without recording them. (read more)

Really delighted to provide this review for Tesco Diets. I am really not into diets but had taken my eye off the ball and my weight had crept up to a stage where few of my clothes fitted and I was uncomfortable in running gear. I chose the "Lighter Choices" plan mostly vegetarian with some fish ( I'm not a vegetarian)Although you can choose to include meat and poultry if you wish. It really is perfect and just gets you back on track. Refreshing meals, lots of fruit, hot or cold, home cooked... (read more)

I love Tescodiets! My diet profile is sensitive to my diabetes and my likes and dislikes and gives me lots of lovely menus with recipes and I get a satisfying amount to eat. I feed items from it to everyone (including one vegetarian and one strict vegan) who comes to our house and they don't believe they are eating a diet meal, either in the quality or the quantity. Lovely, carefully chosen food in lovely, and sometimes adventurous, recipes. The support is brilliant; friendly and... (read more)

I have found this to be the easiest diet to follow and stick to and i have been on a few diets before! Easy to plan meals and the shopping list is a brilliant way to keep to only buying what we need and has even helped save money! Lots of family friendly meals which my hubby and kids also enjoy. The best results have been my weight loss of just over 6 and a half stone!!! and feeling so much healthier! I would highly recommend Tesco Diets to anyone who wants to lose weight. (read more)

I'm on the 'totals' program, and it's very easy to do, just putting everything you eat into your daily chart, and the program works out how many points each item is, and you stick to a total number of points each day.

I joined the Tesco diet plan in September 2012 having reached 105 kilos and being told by the doctor that my rising glucose levels put me at high risk of diabetes. I had a huge list of little medical niggles that could not be explained by anything other than being overweight.

Best diet to lose the weight and keep it off, I used it to lose weight after my son was born and regularly go back for the odd week to maintain my weight loss. Great choice of plans and love that I can change days for weigh in, order food direct from my meal plan and swap meals to suit. It fits in with a busy life perfectly.

Hi, I have used tescodiets and slowly but steadily lost over 3 stone. the diet is about learning to eat regularly, think about when, why and what I eat. There is a multiple choice of diets, and I can choose something that works for the whole family, and can mix and match with meals just for myself if I really want to do that. The lovely thing is there are treats built into this diet, so there is nothing not to have at all in a way. The mentors really are mentors, with a real light tone,... (read more)

I am loving this diet, the sheer amount of information available is great. I've never been on a diet that tells you the entire breakdown of your menu and with the ability to swap meals whenever you need to, it takes the hassle out of planning a weekly menu for the whole family. To be able to put everything straight into my shopping basket so I can collect it the next day is an added bonus. It's a shame the forums I want to use are so quiet, but so far that's the only down side. Having... (read more)

What first attracted me to the site was the price. Compared to other diet sites it's extremely reasonable. Once I joined I was really pleasantly surprised at how much there is available to me with regards to menu planning, recipes etc. The weekly weigh in and personal email that you receive really makes you feel good, and you can see your progress on a chart. You are not restricted in what you can or can't eat. No matter what you eat you just have to stay within the limits of the eating plan... (read more)
