Sainsbury’s Diets is a diet plan service which enables you to create a personalised meal plan, track your weight loss progress, and take advantage of various tools, and community features to help you on your way to weight loss.
This is a relatively new service which launched in mid 2010, and is taking a similar approach to Tesco Diets providing a range of pre-designed meal plans, tracking your weight and progress.
The good thing is that there are no add-ons to worry about, and this system features everything you might need including: a fitness plan, diet plan, community forums, as well as a BMI calculator to make sure you’re on track.
You also have the choice of either using the built in meal plans or simply keeping a food diary, this is ideal if you wish to follow an existing diet which doesn’t match the meal plans available.

Review by Katie, February 12, 2011
I’ve used tesco diets before, and wanted some new recipe ideas. This is definitely NOT for people who actually cook from scratch. Dinner options use ready-made ingredients (like cooking sauces, which i HATE because they are full of salt and artificial flavours!). If you want to swap your meal option, there isn’t a fantastic choice, and you can’t search for a certain ingredient. Another thing I dislike with this plan is that you cannot delete a certain thing from your meal, for example, in one day, the diet wanted me to eat 4 yoghurts(breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack)!
However, Sainsburys does have a really neat Food Diary Section, which means you just record every thing you eat instead of it being prescribed. Another good thing is that you get access to the recipe club and fitness club with no added cost. Fitness club does have some great aspects, like target exercises for problem areas. Also it includes a lot of exercise DVDs and Wii fit, which i thought was excellent! The recipes are ok, but you can’t use them if you are following the plan, which i thought was a bit pointless.
I’ve been using this for a week, and I have to say that the Sainsburys diet, when compared to Tesco, is too restrictive. You can’t take out certain items and the recipes in the plans use too many ready-made ingredients. Postives are that the exercise plans are good, and include lots of home workouts. I don’t think I would use it again once I’m finished, and probably wouldn’t recommend it due to it being too restricted.
