Tesco 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.
Tesco Diets have 16 different diet plans, each tailored to specific needs: For example, some of these include a: low carb plan, cholesterol lowering plan, gluten free plan, vegetarian plan etc.
The advantage of these plans is that it makes it easy to follow a specific type of diet, whilst still having the flexibility to change foods within that diet.
Tesco Diets also have a fitness and a recipe add-on, which each cost an extra £1/$1.50 a week, which add fitness tracking and the ability to browse through hundreds of recipes to add to your diet plan.
How Does Tesco Diets Work?
First you register, fill a profile with your weight and personal information. Then you state any food intolerances you have, as well your fitness objective.
The system then puts you on the right plan, and generates a 7 day diet plan, which you can change and swap over.
You then commit to following your meal plan, and weighing in every 7 days to monitor progress. Every other week, they also organise a group chat with one of their nutritionists, and have a support team in case you have any questions.
What are the Pros of Tesco Diets?
-You receive a personalised meal plan based on your preferences, that is easy to change
-You can generate a shopping list based on your weekly meal plan
-You can track your weight loss progress, as well as how closely you follow your plan
-You get access to the Tesco diets community where you can ask questions and share your progress with others.
-You also can add more features such as the fitness and recipe add-ons if you need them
-Good clear interface, which is easy to use
What Could Tesco Diets Do Better?
-There is a lot of emphasis on following a pre-set meal plan, would be good to pick foods and meals from a list
-Cost can mount up, especially if you take the optional add-ons (£42/ $65 for 8 weeks)
-Strong emphasis on Tesco foods
-Mentor / support system is misleading as it is not pro-active, but you need to request it if you need it filling a form or participating in the forum.
The Verdict
The Tesco Diets system is a long standing service, which has been going strong since 2006. Its one of the most comprehensive out there, and has a wide range of diet plans to suit most people’s needs. Plus you can use this along side your existing diet or supplements.

Review by Busy Working Mum, April 25, 2011
I used Tesco Diets to get back to healthy eating after getting into bad habits and some extra pounds creeping on. I lost over a stone whilst still indulging my love of cooking on a recipe plan diet and got back to eating healthily again. A year later I have not put the weight back on, which I think is the sign of a sensible diet.
I think it requires a lot of self discipline because there isn’t a weekly weigh in with other people (you enter it on-line), and the support system isn’t particularly personal but if you are determined to make a change to your eating habits, it can be very useful to follow a regimented plan such as Tesco diets and the daily tracking of what you’ve eaten keeps you focused.
Having said that it is regimented, you can tailor your meal plans by choosing from a huge range of meals so you don’t have to stick to those they give you (although they allocate your recipes for the week based on the ingredients you need to buy to avoid waste). You can also save recipes and meal plans you have liked into your favourites and allocated them to future meal plans.
I think that it is also a very useful plan for busy working mums like myself who haven’t time to attend a weekly meeting and the ability to allocate certain meals and snacks to your meal plan each week helps when you know you haven’t a free choice of what or when you eat due to work commitments.
Altogether, I was very pleased with the method and results of this diet and would recommend it to focused, disciplined people with busy lives and who are happy using an internet based system.

I wanted to lose weight, so I tried Tesco diets and I don’t regret it!
I wanted a diet that was easy to follow, with the right sizes and ingredients catered to my every need, you might think that you need a professional dietician for that but with Tesco diets you do get this very same service delivered to your PC.
Although I have read a lot of negative reviews about the price, I don’t see the issue. The Tesco diets plan gives you something that works with all the advice you need for a reasonable price, you would no doubt spend a lot more on a professional dietician.
After 2 months of following the diet I have lost 1 stone,I will certainly continue my dieting plan and would strongly recommend to anyone!
