I have a friend who swears by the keto diet. After seeing how much weight he lost eating nothing but steak and bacon and eggs and cheese (mmmmm...), I needed to give it a try. At first I did it on my own, but I lacked the desire and discipline to prepare meals that went beyond microwaving a frozen Atkins meal or downing a cheese stick. It got old fast and I was not losing weight, so I googled "keto miami meal delivery" and found Paleo Organic.
Years ago, I did Shape Lovers and wasn't impressed, so I did not have high hopes. Fortunately, Primal Organic has far exceeded my expectations. I was hesitant about signing up for this service because let's face it--it's not exactly cheap--but after 5 weeks on the plan and about 15 pounds almost effortlessly down, it's totally worth it. The meals are convenient, non-repetitive, and far tastier than anything I could ever make. At first, I had no idea what size or quantity I should order, so I e-mailed them and Becky quickly responded with a breakdown of the macros for each option. I signed up for the two small meals a day (lunch and dinner) plus snack option, which is more than enough to satisfy me and provides me some leeway to remain at a caloric deficit every day.
What impresses me most is their fantastic customer service. I am one of those pain-in-the-butt customers who wants meals delivered to one location on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a different location on Sundays (and then, on some Sundays, to the Tuesday and Thursday location). I totally expected them to mess this up (and I definitely wouldn't blame them), but they haven't! I also made a request for no shrimp, and Becky was happy to offer me a breakfast meal on those rare days shrimp is included in a lunch or dinner meal.
If you are a meat and cheese-loving fat kid trapped in an adult's body like I am, I encourage you to give their keto plan a shot. Of course, please research keto first (the keto community in Reddit is great for this) to ensure you do it the right way, avoid the "keto flu", and keep your electrolytes in check. It took a few weeks for my body to adapt, but the extra pounds are finally melting off and I have Primal Organic to thank for it. read more
