This company offers a number of purchase options to customers. One can buy food for up to six weeks at once. In many of the larger plans, one gets one week free after paying for the rest.

For potential customers, there is a three day sampler that one can try to see if these meals are right for them.

Not Too Good

I thought everything about this company was great, except for the food. But to me, that is the most important thing. It is hard for me to lose weight. I am always thinking about food and looking forward to my next meal. Here is a sample day on the PureFoods Fresh Start program:

PureFoods Denver Omelet

I thought the Omelet was flavorless. If there was any cheese in it, it melted out. There was an excessive amount of water at the bottom of the tray (see picture) after heating too.

The diced ham, onions, and peppers were okay but soggy from the water in the tray. The omelet reminded me of a microwave one you could get at a truck stop.

PureFoods Tomato Basil Pizza

I realize a microwave pizza is probably not going to be good, but I love pizza and it was on the menu, so I tried it. My suspicions proved to be correct. The crust is very soft, and boarder line mushy.

However, the tomato and basil had a nice flavor, which I really enjoyed, but there could have been a lot more cheese. The thick mushy crust doesn't do anything to make this a decent pizza.

PureFoods Stuffed Pepper

To make this diet they used a beef and turkey meat. Just okay. The rice was far from having any texture. Again, everything was mushy. The meat is not “stuffed” in a pepper, the peppers on the side.

There is a very strong flavor of vinegar, which wasn’t too good. I guess it was for the peppers but it contaminated the whole meal. I didn't expect diet food to be too good, and I was right. This program has very small portions that would be too hard for me to commit to for any extended period of time.

Most of These Meals I Never Finished

I expect diet food not to taste as good as regular food, and I expect smaller portion sizes. Overall, I found the portion sizes to be extremely small and unsatisfying. Many of the meals I tried had a vinegar flavor in them, which didn't taste good to me. Most of these meals I never finished.

PureFoods Chili Rubbed Beef Steak

This meal was included sweet potatoes and peppers. The portion size of the beef slices were very small and tough after I heated it in the microwave following the cooking instructions.

The peppers had strong vinegar taste which I didn't care for. The sweet potatoes were the best part of the meal, but I didn't find this meal to be enjoyable or satisfying.

PureFoods Southwestern Egg Skillet

To be honest,I didn't eat more than one forkful of this breakfast meal. It seemed like flavorless powered eggs, with diced potatoes, and black beans all mixed up into into one tray of food. It is as unappetizing in real life as it looks in the picture.

And it pretty much tasted just like it looks here. Flavorless and bland. I threw this out and had some instant oatmeal in order to stay on my diet plan.

PureFoods Turkey Bolognese

I found this to be another disappointing meal from the Fresh Start menu. I thought the taste was one of the best I tried from them, but I am also teacher, grading them on a scale.

The portion size is very small. There is barely enough pasta to get three mouthfuls. What does make your mouth is the same mushy texture you would find in a supermarket canned pasta. The sauce was okay and tasted better than it looked in the picture.

PureFoods Salisbury Steak

This is a very good meal. The Salisbury Steak tasted like it was made fresh. It was a little bland, and the portion size was small, but it restored my faith in the quality of these prepared meals.

There carrots were nothing special, and something you can find at the grocery store, but the potatoes were good. More gravy would be nice. I ate the whole meal.

PureFoods Roast Pork Loin

The pork tenderloin slices were the best part of this dish, and really the only thing I ate. However, you only get one slice of pork that measures three inches wide by two inches high.

The barley pilaf had no flavor at all and the roasted vegetables just didn't appeal to me. The tiny portion sizes are proving to be too difficult of a diet plan for me. I would much prefer a menu where I could pick out just the good meals.

PureFoods Grilled Beef Steak

To me, this seemed more like a piece of corned beef than a grilled steak. It tasted like that too. Again, the pilaf had a strong vinegar flavor which didn't work for my tastes.

The carrots looked homemade but also had a vinegar taste. The meat was really good, and there is nothing like a fresh prepared grilled beef, but one thin slice is hardly a meal in my book.

PureFoods Cheese Macaroni and Beef

I was looking to having this meal for lunch, but unfortunately, it was not that good. If there is cheese in this lunch, I couldn't find or taste any.

I was thinking mac and cheese with beef, but it is more like beef and macaroni. This meal also had a strong vinegar flavor, which I didn't care for. Like the other meals, the portion is small.

I can imagine chefs have a difficult time trying to make affordable weight loss meals that taste good, but the use of vinegar didn't work for me. When I add up what I actually ate on the Fresh Start plan, I paid a lot more than I thought I was going to.

Not Good Either

I didn't have as bad an experience has the previous poster, but my Pure Foods meals weren't too good either. There were some meals I did throw out, but a few were pretty okay. Most of my meals never heated up evenly and to get them all hot, parts of some meals were over done. I wish I found this website sooner.
