So what exactly does PersonalTrainerFood send you for 28 days? You do have the option to customize exactly what you want. While the PTF way of eating is pretty limited to a few food categories--meats, vegetables, eggs, cheese and nuts--they do a decent job at providing variety. Here is a sampling of the options available:

Week 1 of Personal Trainer Food is in the books! Overall I am feeling pretty good. And although they don't recommend jumping on the scale I couldn't resist--I had to know what progress I had made!

I have been now been on the PTF program 3 days! Here are my highs and lows:

The Good:

-The food is tasty! Yes, I wish I had more of it, but I am enjoying everything so far. I have been very hungry though--they say the first 3 days are the worst and then my hunger should subside (fingers crossed).

PINCHme!--Get Free Stuff!

this site is all about grabbing samples QUICK but for free. afterwards, you get the samples mailed to you and receive a quick survey about your opinions a few weeks later. it's a great site but the samples go fast so you need to respond ASAP when you get the email that new monthly samples have launched. i have scored many full size nail polishes, trial sized shampoos/conditioners, and k-cups.

overall, it's pretty effortless but you have to be fast because the site is catching on and they run out if you wait.

My PTF is here---48 lbs. of it! I must say shipping is super quick. I placed my order Tuesday afternoon and Saturday it is at my doorstep. (in fact I could have even chosen Friday for delivery). It was all still very frozen and packed with dry ice. The food categories were also layered within the box for easy sorting--meats on the bottom, then veggies, breakfasts and snacks on the top.

As I begin my 28 day Personal Trainer Food experience part of my requirement is to post 'before' pics---I was not looking forward to this! so I put on my yoga pants and smiled for the camera---here it is:

                                                                          

What is the Personal Trainer Food Diet?

So what exactly is the Personal Trainer Food Diet Program? Based on what I am reading, it is similar to the Paleo diet, meaning if cavemen didn't eat it, we shouldn't either. It largely consists of meats, eggs, non-starchy vegetables, and nuts. 

Their website sums it up quite succinctly:

 Just ask one simple question...”Is it a meat, vegetable or egg?” If so, then no worries. If it’s not, then avoid it.

Personal Trainer Food--my 28 day adventure begins!

I am very excited to begin a new diet delivery program called Personal Trainer Food! I have tried several other diet delivery programs in the past (Nutrisystem, Diet-To-Go, Medifast) with decent results and they were always my immediate go-to solution after gaining 60 lbs. from both my pregnancies. I had never heard of Personal Trainer Food but they approached me and I agreed to do an in depth review of their 28 day program (they provided me the food free of charge in exchange for my honest opinions).

Snap By Groupon Review

UPDATE! AS OF 3/1/16 SNAP INTRODUCED SOME MAJOR CHANGES. YOU NO LONGER EARN CASH BACK FOR ITEMS ON YOUR RECEIPT AND ANY REWARDS YOU HAVE ALREADY EARNED CAN ONLY BE USED TOWARDS GROUPON DEALS NOW. THE APP NOW OFFERS SOME COUPONS AND PROMOTIONS BUT THEY ARE OF NO INTEREST TO ME. I NO LONGER USE THE APP SINCE IT HAS CHANGED SO DRAMATICALLY. :(

https://snap.groupon.com/app

yes, yet another cash back shopping app has entered the arena! this one is called Snap and it's from Groupon. like checkout51, every retailer qualifies so that's a definite plus. the app is available for iOS and android devices and like the others, requires you to take a snapshot of your receipt and then check off the items you want to redeem.
