I'm not sure if anyone else had a bad experience with Jan Medical Group's team and services. I was…read moreunder the care of the Licensed Nutritionist, not the doctor himself. She was very inattentive, insulting, and honestly made the whole thing feel like a scam. She took my payment but wouldn't answer my follow-up questions about my order, failing to answer both email and messages until I messaged someone else on the team. After payment and consultation, the doctor decided to put me on a lower dose of medication, so I was entitled to a 750 peso refund. However, I asked if it could be rolled over to my next dose through a discount code. When the second month rolled around, I was told they no longer had the medication and it was impossible to order. Logically, I asked for my refund back and was denied by Licensed Nutritionist. When I said that this was a scam, she scolded me. Only for her to look into it further and see that I was right. She eventually said she would give the refund, but I haven't received it (yet?) and feel no reassurance that I will. I wouldn't do business with them again, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I wish I had read a review like this before I invested in the flop program. Don't bother stressing yourself out with this team.

I was 30 weeks pregnant with my second baby when I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. My OB…read morereferred me to see an endocrinologist, who referred me to the Nutrition Unit of St. Luke's. I was scared to be putting my child at risk so I went. It turns out that this was one of the best decisions I have made, not only for my baby but also for my own well-being. I have to admit, I was close to tears when Mhai, the nutritionist at the Health and Wellness Center advised me to steer clear of anything with sugar, but she patiently went over the food groups (with matching illustrations) and the corresponding number of calories and gave me a meal plan that I could follow. She didn't criticize me on my poor food choices and lack of portion control, instead she gave me healthier alternatives to junk food and chocolate. Her advice was pretty easy to follow and I really took it to heart that in two weeks, I lost 10 pounds. This alarmed my doctor though, because I was not supposed to be losing weight at that point in my pregnancy. So I went back to Mhai and she altered my diet, adding another snack in the meal plan. It has been over three months since I gave birth and I still apply what I learned from Mhai, or at least some of it. And although I haven't reached my target post-baby weight yet (thanks to ice cream and chocolate), but I have made some significant changes to my eating habits, thanks to the Health and Wellness Center at St. Luke's.

Summary Very good…read morecompany: flexible, responsive, responsible. Set your own kcal limit per day. At least 2 out of the 5 dishes per day is really good or great. They take Paypal and have a merchant account. I've lost almost 10 lbs since May. Customer Service This is a company I highly recommend. Among all the diet catering companies this one is by far the most customer focused. Send an email and you get a prompt reply. Set you own schedule? No problem. Don't like this kind of food, don't like this particular meal, can't eat this fruit, etc - no problem. They will accommodate you for almost anything. If you've looked into this category of company before, you know, most of the other companies are all very uncompromising. You are stuck to their schedule, their food whether you like it or not, and the ones that will accommodate you (and none as thoroughly as NUIU), you have to pay an extra fee. In my experience, there is no company as customer focused as this one. Food This is diet health food, so by its nature its not all great. Quantity depends on the daily kcal limit you set. Every day you get 5 dishes: 3 meals and 2 snacks. In every day at least 2 of the 5 dishes are really good or great. Most days there are 3 dishes I really enjoy, once in a while the entire day is good or great. That said, some meals are kind of tasteless but none are terrible. The nice thing is they vary the food constantly, so you get Italian days, Chinese days, Thai days, etc. You never get bored of the food and all ingredients, as far as I can tell, are high quality. Suggestion There are a few things NUIU makes that knock my socks off. I have requested if its possible to order larger quantities of some of those items. The nice lady who mans the email has told me she is still waiting for a manager to answer this question but I assume the answer is no. My suggestion is to fix that. There is no reason they can't just up the quantity to fulfill an extra order when they make it normally. Overall I highly recommend this company for anyone who has dietary needs (eg Diabetes), looking to loose weight or just wants to eat healthy (and doesn't employ a cook/can't cook themselves).
