Curious if anyone has successfully lost weight eating Freshly meals? I just switched over and am hoping it will provide a semblance of balanced meals (I’ve been eating takeout basically every day, mostly sandwiches and pasta lol) and hopefully help me shed some covid pounds.

I’ve used it during busy season. I ordered them instead of eating the team meals...it didn’t really help me lose weight but it helped me not gain my usual busy season weight. The one thing is that after a few months you can kinda get bored of the same food over and over. But yeah not bad.

I second this! All you need is like steamed/baked veggies and chicken/fish/steak. Some rice or bread. Season with whatever. You’ll be surprised what a difference just eating simpler and cleaner home cooked meals will do, without one of these types of services

Throw chicken thighs, peppers, and taco seasoning all together and bake. Heat up some black beans and you’ve basically got a healthy meal for days

I tried freshly and got sick of it after the second week. Not enough variety for me. Counting calories is the only thing that works for me.

Freshly meals help with weight loss... a natural laxative

The meals themselves wont help you lose weight, but being able to precisely track your calorie intake will.

I find them too full of fat & carbs. I eat half & make a salad or have a yoghurt later in the day then eat the rest for dinner. 31 grams of fat per meal is way too much

It could work, but the key is calorie counting, not Freshly in particular. A large apple for breakfast plus 2 freshly meals per day is enough food for me (when timed right), and I lost weight unintentionally via calorie deficit. When I swapped freshly for takeout later (freshly got boring vs the variety of takeout I could get), I did the math and noticed the calorie count doubled.

Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
