Mayo Clinic - Reviews and experiences

it helped me, though it's not flawless. I needed something after a year of flaky programs and chronic lower-back pain that made cooking and meal prep harder. The tracking actually keeps me on track and the meal planner removes the guessing — recipes are solid and realistic. A few things feel rigid and the price is a bit high, but overall it's useful and I keep coming back.

I opened it with hope while making lunch and left it on the counter all week. The tracker feels clunky. Daily logging is slow and the macros are still a bit of a puzzle — I don't really know which numbers to aim for. It does nudge me to eat more veggies, which I like, but my weekly meal plan keeps changing on its own and that messes with my shopping. The grocery list duplicates items so I ended up with extras and a bit of waste. Lost a bit of weight, but tracking has not been smooth.

signing up was easy, cancelling seemed confirmed, but follow‑up was poor. I'm frustrated and reluctant to try them again.

Sat with the box on my counter and thought this would be easy. It wasn’t. I tried to get someone on the phone about substitutions and they kept redirecting me to buy premade soup at a grocery, which I don’t have nearby and wasn’t going to do. The kit felt overpriced and parts didn’t suit how I cook. I had already told support I don’t open their emails or shopping lists, still got the same messages. Mildly annoyed; wouldn’t recommend unless you live near a decent store.

Halfway through the first week I realised why I needed a plan — moving and a sore lower back left me unable to cook much, so convenience mattered. The site itself is fine, ordering was simple, but the tracker won’t accept anything unless you type menu names exactly, which is annoying and slows me down. Customer support was polite and eventually helpful, though it took longer than I hoped to get a clear answer. Food-wise the portions leave me still hungry and the flavours are pretty flat, so I keep adding spices. They mention unlimited veg, but seriously, carrots can only do so much as a snack. Overall useful but could be more flexible and faster on support.

batch a few lunches to save time.
