What meals and ingredients will be included in my meal plan?
When it comes to what is in your weekly meal plan, we leave it up to our team of medical experts because of their knowledge and understanding of the proper way to combine each ingredient for your individual weight loss needs.
If you have a menu preference, we will try our best to meet it while upholding the specific scientific combinations of food prescribed by Dr. Cederquist to promote healthy weight loss.
Each ingredient is combined in every dish to supply your body with the right amount of protein, healthy carbohydrates and healthy fats to feed your body’s essential needs. This means that our meals contain complex carbohydrates like vegetables, whole grains and fiber along with lean protein and healthy fat ratios.

Even though you may request to customize your plan, we can assure you that the science behind BistroMD will always be the same.
Can I exclude a side dish or a sauce?
Our meals are designed to be nutritionally complete and are prepared as a whole meal. This means that we include the entrée with sides and that the entire meal has a prescribed nutritional balance to not only taste great but to promote healthy weight loss for you. Unfortunately we do not offer the option of selecting different sides to go with your entrees. If you do not wish to receive a particular meal again we are more than happy to exclude this from your meal plan.
What if I receive the same meal more than once?
Every BistroMD meal is balanced with the proper combinations of essential nutrients that will retrain your metabolism to help you lose weight.
Our chefs prepare each of our meals based on these guidelines set by Dr. Cederquist and her team of dietitians.
Since all of our meals are prepared by real chefs, you may notice that you receive some of our most favorite meals on more than one occasion. Please know that our chefs are constantly working with our experts to create a variety of new meals for our menu.
If you would like more or less of a menu item, just let us know.

At BistroMD, we do our absolute best to customize your menu based on your requests, but it is important to realize that the more customizations you have, the more limited your menu will be.
