“No hardship losing weight”

★★★★★

written by Tyree323 on 01/12/2014

I've followed Tesco diets (diabetic plan) under the 'Guardian Eat Right' banner on a number of occasions and always come back to it when my resolve has faltered and I need to lose weight. As has been said many times in these reviews the mentor support is fantastic: positive, encouraging and wise. Having more time to prepare food, I have always chosen the 'recipe-based' meals which are entirely interchangeable to match what I have in the store cupboard. The food is tasty and filling and based largely on the Anthony Worral Thompson series of diabetic diet books and I find I lose easily, without stress and I feel great. I've lost 1 and a half stone in six weeks and am confident that I will reach my target weight at some point in the future. Just got to discipline myself to keep it off. Good luck to anyone just starting out or on an existing weight-loss regime.

“After years of failing I am succeeding at last”

★★★★★

written by Slimmerme1912 on 10/09/2014

I joined the Tesco diet plan six months before actually starting it and it was a nudge from them to say did I want to carry on which spurred me into action. With hips problems and chronic acid reflux I knew the Drs would say lose weight so thought I would give it a whirl. I am on the diabetic diet and in the first instance struggled with the plan and was constantly sending emails to the girls asking questions, still am actually but normally it's because I don't read it properly. I love the fact that it gives you daily totals and if it's something you don't like on the menu you can substitute and it will evaluate it for you. It will even calculate your own recipes for you and any ready meals can be added. You have to be honest with your weigh in let's face who are you hurting only yourself if you lie and the encouragement you get from all the team is wonderful, they not only give you confidence to do it it's a two way thing we can help them and it proves they are doing a good job. Since starting I have lost two and a half stones and I have stopped the blood pressure tablets completely as per my Dr and have cut my diabetes tablets down. Don't set yourself too high a target I do it half a stone at a time and really work at it to get under the next stone let's face it thirteen sounds better than fourteen doesn't it even if it is only a pound under. Give yourself a treat, a manicure or pedicure, new dress or a special occasion to work to. My next one is a week away and I am aiming for half a stone off before then. Your never to old I am sixty seven, have joined a Zumba and yoga class and I love the laughs we all have. Finally I love the fact that I don't have to sit for an hour waiting whilst everyone is weighed for a ten minute talk its all on the screen or a question away with the online mentors. If you give it a go please leave a message on the online forum I hope I have encouraged at least one person, it works for me.

“Excellent Diet!”

★★★★★

written by on 01/09/2014

What I like about Tesco Diets, in particular, is that you don't feel you are actually on a diet! There are no fads, no great restrictions - just sensible eating with healthy tasty food and recipes. The recipes are such that other family members can share them and won't even think the meals are part of a diet. Also you can take a break from the diet if, for example, you are on holidays. Just inform Tesco Diets and they'll take care of it. And if you put on weight on your holidays (all part of enjoying a break?!), then just continue on with your diet where you left off. There's no pressure on you to catch up! It's a slow and steady ( and healthy!) way to lose weight - you may just lose a half a pound to one pound per week. This may seem very little but it adds up over the weeks to give you the result you want. Also there is a great deal of help and advice available from the mentors and on the forum. I also found the website very easy to use and the smartphone app is also very handy. I think it's an excellent way to lose weight and would definitely recommend the Tesco Diet.

“Great Mentor Support”

★★★★★

written by FJOswald on 09/07/2014

I just wanted to take the time to say a big thank you to your team for their amazing support, I have followed various plans but the tesco diet plan works for me, I enjoy the structure of having meals suggested for me as I love to cook from scratch. I was away on family visit and gained only a pound which I was happy with as normally holidays are a disaster when it comes to food, but sad as it may sound I was looking forward to getting home to look at my menu plan, Can I say a big thank you to the advisor who has been a great support and motivator , her emails are personal and make me feel that she really cares about my weight loss success So a big thank you to you all

“Fab diets that really works”

★★★★★

written by Brookssf457 on 14/06/2014

Have been on the tesco diet since first week of January and have lost 2 stone 5lb. The food is varied and you can still have treats such as biscuits and chocolate! Have recommended to a friend who says she can't call it a diet as the food is so good and she can still have a bacon buttie! The mentors are always on hand to help you get the calories right for your lifestyle. I have just renewed for another 6 months

“Fool proof”

★★★★★

written by Chalky88 on 03/06/2014

I've been on tesco diets for a few months, and have lost nearly a stone. I've found it easy to follow and a great range of different meal options. I've never gone hungry or dissatisfied! My favourite part is a personal reply every weigh in. It makes the experience feel less lonely, and the ladies who reply are always so helpful and friendly. I will always recommend tesco diets.

“Great weight loss!!”

★★★★☆

written by Mojo2472 on 26/05/2014

I m so pleased with the Tesco Diet, I ve only been on it for about 10 days and I lost 4lbs in the first week. I know even though I haven't weighed in yet for the second week I ve lost more as my clothes are fitting me great! I m no longer squeezing into a 10-12 I m already in an 8-10!! So feel fantastic. Like the fact there is advice at hand and if the question isn't answered straight away someone always emails very soon! Taken me a bit of time to find my way around and initially quite a bit to read about my diet plan but well worth reading! So join today you will be pleased with the results and believe me the first 4-5 days are the hardest and then it gets easier so stick with it and you will achieve your goal!

“So easy to follow and not gone hungry once”

★★★★★

written by DirtyAngelMichelle on 15/04/2014

I started Tesco Light Choices diet just over 5 weeks ago, I have not once gone hungry and have lost 2lb a week for the last 5 weeks. The menu is easy to follow, order and shop from and I am able to swap foods and make changes for foods that i will eat. For example some meals have things like nuts and olives which i don't personally like so you can tell the meal planner never to use that meal again. Also you are able to swap/add/change elements within a meal, for example you may have lunch come up as beef slice roll with an apple, with the meal plan you are able to change the beef to chicken and the apple to a pear or orange for example. It is a calorie based diet that I am currently allowed 1200 calories a day on. You can track you meal online and added extras, and your water, fruit, calcium, tea/coffee intake is also tracked. At the end of each week you get a score as to show how well you have done. There is also the opportunity to join the fit or recipe club to as part of the plan. This is the first diet that I have not felt like giving up on after the first few weeks, if you hate counting points or syns this could be the diet for you.

“Its the only diet that has ever worked for me!! ”

★★★★★

written by MillyCaelan on 13/03/2014

Its the best diet plan I have ever followed and I have tried them all! in under 3 months I have lost 22 lbs! The other members and the mentors are so supportive and encouraging and always there to keep you on track!! The mobile app is the handiest part in my opinion, its so easy to keep on track with food during the day when your out and about, and the huge archive of foods already stored is fab simply type in anything and it will tell you the nutritional information..I love how varied it is and that its based on the food pyramid so I know Im staying healthy and its not just some fad diet for quick weight loss.. its a complete lifestyle change it teaches you so much about a healthy lifestyle your whole family will benifit from it! Its also cheaper than any other diet plan ive followed so I would encourage anyone to try it! If I can follow Tesco Diets and stick to it literally anyone can!!!

“Easiest plan I have followed!”

★★★★★

written by Talarius on 25/01/2014

I've been following this on-line plan for nearly three weeks and really thrilled with the motivation and support I am receiving. I have time to plan and cook my meals, as I love interesting foods, and there is certainly plenty of variety. Being able to input what you have eaten or change something you don't want is easy, once you get used to the website and can follow the way it works. I think it's good value for money and feel that this time I will succeed with my weight loss plan.

“Very poor communication”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Glampuss2012 on 16/01/2014

Joined a few days before I started the diet. As with all new things after selecting my choice of diet I found it didn't suit my lifestyle ie two hot meals per day. I therefore changed my plan but there wasn't a great deal of choice and the recipes repeated more than I would have liked. Within two weeks of my diet I actually googled other diets and found the ocado four week diet not only more exciting but also it was free. On the 13th day of the Tesco diet (only lost 1/2 pound in total), I contacted my Tesco mentor to request a refund in full. As it appears there are no mentors over the weekend, when I did get a reply and given the link, I was then told my membership was over 14 days so I couldn't have a refund! Very poor customer services as my email was sent after only 13 days of my diet...pity Tesco didn't look at my account instead of their bank account!

“Get a Grip!”

★★★★☆

written by on 16/01/2014

Tescodiets and the support team have helped me get a strong grip on my eating habits and maintain the good habits of healthy eating and regular exercise which have knocked the kilos off my hips over the last couple of years. Even my fingers are slimmer! I like the ability to vary my diet and menus, not being stuck in any tramlines, and the cheerful feedback offered by the support team. If asked what I don't like I'd say the annoying predictive text which changes ryvita to revitalising and other such nutty anomalies. Also it's sometimes hard to find something you have eaten, such as summer pudding, (a good healthy option) and once you do it erroneously records it as having no calories!! Not very helpful, I'm sure you'll agree, when you're trying to track your intake for the day. But overall I've been very grateful for the help I've received and certainly have introduced several friends to your system.

“what a find ! katenorman01”

★★★★★

written by on 14/01/2014

I originally lost 5 and a half stones using Tesco diets and found it really easy and inspiring. I was doing really well but I recently started putting back on again and have decided to use it to get me back on track. On my first weigh in I was given 4 weeks free which gave me an extra bit of motivation. The planning and being able to create your own menu I really enjoyed it wasn't like being on a diet. My only criticism is that the site is not up to date with some brands calorie content so you do need to keep a check on that yourself. Compared to a once a week weigh in at a club this is good value.

“it does work.”

★★★★★

written by isireading on 14/01/2014

This diet works. I am on the cholesterol lowering plan. I have been doing it for 3 months I have lost nearly 2 stones without feeling hungry once. The plan is easy to set up and to follow. Within the menus, you can take off ingredients you do not like and replace them with others. The choice of menus for breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner is huge and there is even a choice for eating out. Receipes are easy to follow, you learn how to combine flavours and it is tasty too. You can also bulk up with "free" vegetables so even a simple chicken sandwich feels like a full meal by the time I've eaten my serving of salad, peppers and tomatoes with it. Over the last 20 odd years, I have tried slim fast, slimming magazine, weight watchers and lighter life, but this is the first diet which after 3 months does not have any nasty side effect (loss of hair, constipation...), does not give me hunger pans and really motivates me. The tracking system is great, much easier than a diary, and also track the mood. Customer service is very helpful and always on hand for any question

“Tesco Diets really does work - TRY IT!”

★★★★★

written by on 07/01/2014

TescoDiets truly is the answer for anyone who wants to genuinely lose weight and develop a healthy relationship with food. I have never dieted as easily, successfully and painlessly as with tescodiets.com. I felt is was also very good value for money for a very small fee I have slimmed right down - losing over two stone 6 months - with the Total plan and have maintained the weight loss for a further 3 months - only fluctuating only by a pound or so during my cycle. Your membership gives you access to choose from a comprehensive range of sensible diet plans (to suit everyone), together with a massive amount of information on recipes and healthy eating to keep you motivated and on track. Each week you enter you weight online as well as your measurements (I did the latter every few weeks) and seeing the results charts proved very motivating. As you slim, you also earn 'awards' in your online awards cupboard. Each day I inputted what I ate and a nifty piece of software instantly informed me of the the nutritional value and calories consumed so I could continue to make good choices and really learned a lot about the food I was eating. I also valued the weekly personal emails from the mentors which were also highly motivating and supportive following my weigh-in. Whenever I was flagging I also took comfort from communicating with other dieters through the many forums as well as getting inspired by watching pod-casts of successful dieters. There is also a link to Tesco Fitness and links to further support and information. I have continued to be a member as the membership fee is such a small price to pay in return for staying slim, healthy, confident and happy. I cannot recommend tescodiets highly enough.

“Very good indeed!!!”

★★★★★

written by on 21/12/2013

I have used TescoDiets in the past successfully and I am returning again to regain my pre-pregnancy body. It simply works! My weakest point is actually preparing my meals, I never know what to cook and end up just eating "whatever" (which usually is not very healthy). With TescoDiets, I have the most amazing choice of recipes; I can choose whether I want to prepare my meal or have something on the go. The recipes are easy and very delicious. They can be altered to match your preferences and with detailed information about cal,fat,proteins, etc... you can ensure you meet your nutricional requirements. Logging my meals allows me to stay on track and enables me to understand just how simple it is to ruin my diets when making the wrong choices. At least if you have a naughty treat, it will always be an informed choice!!! Probably one of my favourite features is the mentor support. Quick, efficient, honest, reasuring and constructive feedback and advice. They also have nutricionists available!!!! I have also found tremendous support from other members in the forums. That definately keeps me going, everyone is so lovely!!! I DO recommend TescoDiets to anyone who really wants to lose weight and learn a new healthy lifestyle which will allow to maintain the weight loss. No need to attend embarrassing meeting where it's required to step into the scales in front of others. And they also have amazing offers which I am sure beat most of their competitors!! Good job TescoDiets!! Aliena1983

“This diet works!”

★★★★★

written by Chrissie2013 on 21/12/2013

I joined Tesco Diets 11 weeks ago with a mini target of losing 1 stone by Christmas so I'm thrilled to have lost 25lbs! I've tried many diets over the years and I can honestly say that I have had the best results with this one. I really like how flexible it is as I can tinker with my meal plans as much as I like(& I often do!)as long as I keep an eye on my calories/fat intake etc. This is also the first diet I have followed that I actually enjoy as everything I eat is food I enjoy. I would highly recommend this diet to anyone wanting to lose weight with support but in the comfort and privacy of their own home.
