The Fit Gourmet

Food was delivered hours late, and heated up (by the Sun!). Food was absolutely horrible. They never answer the phone. I could go on and on but I don’t have the time or patience. Please save your money!!! and a few headaches.

The food was really excellent and Chef Duhone and Tiffany were incredibly accommodating! I’m so glad to have discovered fit gourmet!
Although we stopped our plan after our groupon ran out– I look forward to ordering delicous, healthy meals in the future. And the delivery only makes it that much easier!

I give this plan a solid 4 stars. My husband and I both did the Get Fit Now Plan. We both had excellent results because after about 7 weeks he lost 25 pounds and I lost 15 pounds. I might add that for the past 4 years my metabolism has been particularly resistant to any significant weight loss so I consider this a testament to the plan. Nothing more really needs to be said, but I would like to address some of the other comments.
I read some of the reviews before committing to the plan but decided that the benefits would probably outweigh the negative comments. First of all the food is very high quality and nutritious. My husband is a bit of a picky eater but he ate everything. There are very few grain carbs and very little dairy in this plan. Most of the carbs are coming from vegetables or the occasional piece of fruit or whatever you have for breakfast (I had steel cut oatmeal with fresh berries). The food was well prepared (remember it has to fit within certain guidelines-​sodium and calories-​to adhere to the get fit program).
Delivery most of the time was not a problem with the exception of bad weather or substitute delivery people for valid reasons (family emergency).
The snacks were sometimes not to my liking but mostly that was at the beginning of the program for me. They greatly improved.
I never had a problem with Chef Dione returning my calls or answering e-​mails. I was constantly making changes to deliveries for days one or both of us would be out of town and found her extremely accommodating.
One of the best things about the Get Fit Plan was to really learn and get used to the correct portion sizes.
I would definitely recommend this service.

Awful!!! Food was supposed to come at 11am, at 2:20 they still hadn’t arrived. They offered to bring double food the next day? What was I supposed to do with that? Completely disorganized over the phone. The driver and organizer completely contradicted each other. Never again.

It started off good then it went downhill. The portions were supposed to be the adequate size for each individual depending on body weight… after we received our meals, the only way we could tell which was for who was by the name written on the brown paper bag. Even though there is a a 120lb difference between us, the meals were the same portion.
Another issue was that the food is said to be cooked daily and at some point the owner of this company decided it wasn’t cost effective anymore, after we had already signed up and paid, to deliver daily to us. So she decided to deliver every two days. So how is food cooked daily then delivered every two days? Seems like a bait and switch.
Then every time I tried to call her and speak with her, she would ignore my calls. I decided to send emails and she would always respond with an email saying, «Im sorry and than you for being so understanding.» to which I would reply…“I’m not understanding, this is not acceptable please call me as soon as possible.” Never got a call back. Finally we dropped the program… thank god… and haven’t ever considered it again. Finally once she realized we weren’t going to keep paying her for leftover food, inadequate service and a complete lie regarding the business, she then decided to call me and ask me, «was something wrong?»…amazing to me how people have no clue that their actions cause reactions from others. In a service industry you can’t be a shit and expect people to like it.
Stay away from this company… nothing good about it.

When I purchased the groupon for the two weeks I was very happy with the product maybe due to the fact it was $ 189. But when I continued the program without a discount I was very disappointed. The program was $ 305 for two weeks, no unreasonable, but I did not get what I paid for. The delivery was inconsistent and could range from 1015 until after 12. I also requested that my meals be paleo and sent the chef a food list which she stated she could do. On multiple occasions I was unable to eat the meals provided to me due to them not meeting my dietary needs. I was told they must «have flaked» on my request. I find this unacceptable due to the fact I was told that they could provide me with the requested dietary restrictions.

After the 2 weeks were up, I had to update my review.
Overall experience wasn’t good.
1. First and foremost, the food is not very good. If it were a restaurant, I wouldn’t go back. I reviewed most items I had in the first post. (space limited). For example, I can make better chicken fajitas at home (see pic). And this is supposed to be gourmet? There were zero veggies (this is a healthy delivery service) — where are the peppers, onions… etc, the chicken and beans were not seasoned at all, very bland, and the homemade guac? huge chunks of under ripe avocado with a little tomato thrown in. It didnt even have the necessary acidity to keep the guac from turning brown before it was delivered, and again, seasoning.
2. Price is too high. The portions are smaller since its a «get fit» option, and there was nothing above average on the menu so food isnt the cost. 2 weeks of the plan is valued at $ 400. I paid $ 189 with the groupon and thats about what its worth. Basically what you would pay to eat out is the same cost as this service and you’ll likely get better food and bigger portions — although maybe not as healthy.
3. Delivery times are inconsistent. On a good day, it was 10AM, on bad days it was as late as 1PM. The driver was nice, they just need more drivers, she seemed overwhelmed.
For these reasons, I will not be ordering from FitGourmet again.
For anyone looking for a similar service. Read my review for Plated. Healthy, Gourmet meal delivery service that you cook at home. Think quinoa beets, kale, collard greens… THAT is clean eating.

The food is healthy and edible, but it all taste the same. It even kind of looks the same. It is a moot point to list so many different dishes on the menu if they will all be orange in color and practically have the same flavor. I could be wrong but it seems like paprika is on everything they make, bright orange food that doesn’t taste all that great. Some of the snacks were delicious. And the chicken Cordon Bleu, and grilled pork chop with yams is very good. Unfortunately, I have received neither of these dishes included in the «get fit plan». Perhaps it is because I am from New Orleans and it is obvious to me the chef/​cook is not, but they could use some New Orleans chefs to give them some tips, and how! Perhaps, toss the paprika and replace it with some «Slap your mama» or something? Even that would be an improvement. Their healthy crawfish étouffée went in the garbage it was in edible.
