After its founding in 2012 by Mike Starks, Personal Trainer Food (PTF) became a household name in the weight loss industry. Starks created this product after helping his wife lose a significant amount of weight by eating healthier foods. Today, Personal Trainer Food suggests that people can lose 20 pounds in just four weeks if they are willing to try following one of its healthy meal plans. Frozen meals can be ordered online and are easily stored in the freezer until it is time to eat.
Each weight loss program, or diet plan, has its own formula for weight loss. PTF focuses its weight loss plan 90 percent on food, and 10 percent on exercise. Its meals are high in protein and focused on introducing whole foods into your diet. Its menu options are broken down by breakfasts (mainly meat and eggs), entrees (meat and vegetables), vegetable sides, and snacks (nuts, seeds, meat, cheese, and shakes).
PTF has been reviewed and received press from a number of large media outlets including Forbes, Food Network, Fox News, CBS News, and more.
Do you find it hard to eat healthy because you don’t have the desire or knowledge to cook healthy foods? Personal Trainer Food has a number of options and features to help you successfully find and order food online that will help you maintain a healthier lifestyle.
Personal Trainer Food has over 75 different meal/snack options for you to choose from. The majority of foods provided by PTF are high in protein and should keep you full for longer periods of time than the majority of other foods. Food options are categorized into the following categories: breakfast, entrées, vegetables, and snacks.
If you are interested in investing in one of PTF’s weight loss plans, you will want to select the one that best adheres to your budget and your lifestyle. The following meal plan payment plans are currently available:
One challenge with a number of weight loss product providers is a lack of variety. PTF has been able to overcome this challenge by providing over 100 different meal options for customers. New items are being added regularly to ensure that customers do not grow tired of PTF meals.
Personal Trainer Food offers a number of discounts and coupons throughout the year. If you are looking for discounts, you may want to check on Groupon or Amazon as they both have PTF on their sites. Make sure that you check for discounts before checking out.
Many customers feel that having access to a weight loss coach during their time with PTF is helpful. They feel that they are able to ask hard questions and get qualified answers. Weight loss coaches also help keep people motivated to stick to their plan and avoid processed foods.
If you are interested in finding out more about these weight loss coaches, you can find more information online or talk to a customer service representative on the website’s chat bot. PTF also now offers an email coaching series with its founder Mike Starks.
Common challenges in the weight loss product industry include failed deliveries. Current customer reviews on the internet have mentioned frustration with deliveries being late or never coming at all. If you are concerned about this, you should work with customer service during the delivery period to ensure that your delivery is tracked to your door.
A couple of reviews have also mentioned that their deliveries were reported as “delivered” by the mailing service, but they never found the package at their home. Be aware that this could happen to you before you order.
Another frustration mentioned by customers in online reviews is faulty packaging. Customers have reported that packages have arrived at their homes with the ice being melted, food being defrosted, and packages of food being partially opened. Unfortunately, though customer service representatives said that the food would still be fine to eat, some customers report getting sick from eating the foods that had defrosted during the shipping process.
Though PTF has a money-back guarantee, a number of exceptions are specified in the terms and conditions. Make sure that you are aware of these if you begin to receive melted packages and defrosted foods.
Lastly, those who have not been eating very healthy foods have complained that the portions are very small. They do not feel like they are getting enough food and therefore they start to snack on other foods. Some have felt that the amount of food in each package is not always the same. Be sure to check for this when your food arrives to ensure that you are getting what you paid for. Also, if you feel that you need to supplement in other areas to ensure that you get enough food, consult your weight loss specialist for their recommendations for healthy snacks.
If you are looking to lose some weight and are willing to completely change your diet in the process, PTF may be a good option for you. Before trying it, we recommend that you try eating just vegetables and meat for a couple days to see how much energy you have and how you feel. Take advantage of online customer reviews before purchasing PTF products. This will help you know if it will be a good product for you.
