    I signed up for a one month program a week ago and I am just delighted with the food and the service provided by Zone Manhattan. The food is very good, fresh, varied, and well-balanced. I wanted both to lose a few pounds and eat more healthy and the meals are perfect to do both. Service has been great. There is a human being who answers the phone every time I call, including during the week-end, I did not have to spell my name after the first two phone calls - they just knew who I was - and all the kinks to be worked out at the beginning of the program were resolved quickly and easily (I wanted meals to be delivered at work during the week and at home over the week-ends - no problem; it turned out that my office does not accept deliveries at night - I did not get charged for the first meal which could not be delivered as a result; could I get an invoice for some of the meals so that I could expense them - yes, of course; please cancel and then reschedule the deliveries over next week-...

    I started this diet 2 1/2 months ago, was desperate for something to shed some weight and boy does it work. For all those posters who say that the positive reviews are fake, please contact me and I will attest that they are wrong. I not only have a food allergy but do not like chicken (I know!! Who doesn't like chicken?!?) and they have been amazingly accomodating to me. The meatballs and meatloaf are DELICIOUS!!!! The coffee mousse is to die for and they even let me have two sweet snacks a day instead of one sweet and one savory.

    Being a very health conscious person, I was always wary about delivery diets. I work out regularly, and eat healthily, however I managed to put on a few pounds over the last few months. A girlfriend of mine referred me to Zone Manhattan, saying it had worked wonder for her, so I thought "can't hurt". After some research, I found that they create fresh food, that is prepared and delivered daily (none of that frozen TV dinner stuff I had always assumed all delivery diets consisted of), and that they used no additives. I must say I was happily surprised with their food and service, and am happy to report that I am now at my goal weight.

    I am at the end of my 9th day on the diet. So far, I have lost 9.4 pounds. I signed up for a month, so who knows what awaits! I love the oatmeal with baked apple and the similar oatmeal with compote - each slightly different but each very filling and quite delicious. I love the crab meat salad! I love the little snack with mozzarella cheese. I love the coffee (I think it was coffee) mousse! I could go on but don't want to bore you. The only thing I don't like at all is the dependence on fat free yoghurt on a couple of snacks. Perhaps they could use plain Greek style instead? The portions are quite small as noted by others. But as you get used to it, they seem larger. And hey, the point is to eat better and LOSE WEIGHT! And vegetables are good for you! I am using up savings to be on this diet, and it is worth it.

    I knew I had to lose some of the weight I had put on during the winter season when I saw an article about Zone Manhattan in the N.Y. Times, which raved about it, so i figured what the heck, ill give it a try. I must say that I am so glad I did! I lost all the weight while enjoying the meals.

    I've just finished the 31 day program and lost 10 lbs! I'm so happy! I was able to lean to eat smaller portions (I used to over eat a lot because of stress.) It was so convenient to wakeup in the morning and my food was at my front door. All I have to do was heat the hot items up and no grocery shopping and no cooking. It was so helpful since I'm really busy at work and doing this program gave me one less thing to do. I'll renew once the Memorial weekend is over.

    As it get closer to the warm weather, I felt i needed to shed a few lbs but I couldn't seem to stick to whatever regiment I gave myself. I would find myself depriving myself of foods I loved for days on end, only to cave on a saturday night while out to dinner. Finally I tried Zone Manhattan and it was just what i needed! They gave me a sweet snack every day, so my sweet tooth could get it's fix and i wasn't tempted to cheat. also, the food kept me so full all day, so i didn't find myself snacking at 10pm. Absolutely Wonderful experience. I look and feel better and am now ready for memorial day!

    Just finished their 7 day plan. All the great reviews they've gotten must be fake because there's no way this program should get more than 2 stars. The food was really dry and bland - no spices or sauces are used. I understand that losing weight is about portion control but eating less is a lot easier when you are satisfied with what little they give you. At the end of the day, I was neither full (hence the weight loss) nor were my taste buds satisfied from the food. I agree with a previous review that they load you up on the vegetables. Expect a lot of salads. My advice - skip this program - just eat smaller portions and add some vegetables to your diet. Also, see this website: bit.ly/chi7Ih

    As a new mother, I was having trouble losing my baby weight and getting back to my old figure. A friend recommended Zone Manhattan to me, and as I was skeptical of all delivery diets I decided it was worth a shot and I couldn't be more glad that i did! It is brought to my home everyday, and there is no prep work for me to do. All I have to do is pop my meals in he microwave for a minute or two and its finished. I am back on track with my heath and just about back to my old size, while eating healthy/ would highly recommend Zone Manhattan to all.

    I am tired of cooking and still not getting what I need. I called up Zone Manhattan and was eating healthy in a little as 2 days. I had lobster, crab,shrimp, cauliflower, broccolli, salmon, monkfish, tilefish, wheat berries, muffins, smoothies, etc. It was all delicious. It arrived everyday at the same time and it was on time. I tried it for 7 days and before my 7 days were up, I called back and extended my deliveries for 31 days(at a cheaper price too). If want healthy food and you want something different everyday, call Zone Manhattan. .

    I had a great experience with Zone Mnahattan! I started off for a 7 day program, and soon upgraded to a 31 day ( which i just recently renewed). The food is so fresh, and comes right to my door every morning! It keeps me full so that I don't have to snack on my usual chips, and I have lost 7 lbs over my goal weight! I am so excited for summer now!

    Zone Manhattan is wonderful. It made it so easy to loose weight by delivering the food everyday, and allowing me to mkae changes to my food profile as well as my delivery schedule, to better suite my needs. I got to eat what I want, and still loose weight! I got lamb, lobster, and even STEAK! Bravo!

    Don't be fooled by the photos on their website. What they deliver is far different. Portion sizes are tiny. If you don't like veggies, you'll be screwed. About 75% of the food they serve is veggies. Each day, you get breakfast, lunch, dinner and 2 snacks (a mid-day snack & a dessert snack). Typical breakfast is a small (1-egg?) omelette. Typical lunch is some sort of salad. Mid-day snack is usually something small with vegetables. Dinner is a small piece of fish or chicken with a lot more vegetables. Dessert is very, very dry piece of cake where the only edible part is the frosting. If you only eat what they give you, you will most likely lose weight because it is so little food. However, the food is so bland that you will most likely have to go out and eat other food, which would defeat the purpose of paying all this money for such a terrible diet. I highly suspect all the positive reviews are fakes.

    First: Note that the positive reviews tend to be clustered around the same dates, time periods -- clearly not written by actual customers. This company has 16 complaints against them with the Better Business Bureau!! That says something. More to the point, the orders were screwed up, and the food was sub-par - I guess if you give small portions of lousy food, people will lose weight! Cancellation is made impossible, because the people that work there are either malicious or incompetent. There is no reasonable person working there, and they never followed through on what they said they would do. I've dealt with a lot of bad customer service in New York, but this was about the worst, unpleasant experience I have had. I wouldn't believe anything these people say, about their food or anything else. Stay away from this company if you're smart!

    Zone manhattan is great, works like a charm. I was looking to lose 15 pounds on the 31 plan and I did (Even though I did the plan during the holidays... the worst time for eating!!). 5 months later I haven't gained back any weight and have more energy than I had in years. Went from a size 8 to a 2/4. Very happy. Recommend it all the time and would do it again.

    This diet is the best! I signed on for a 7 day program just to try it out, and after 3 days i was hooked! They let me upgrade to a longer program, and I lost all the weight I needed. The food was there waiting for me when I woke up, and took no prep time. I only had to heat it for a few minutes, hardly enough time to cheat & ruin my day. I would reccomend this program to anyone, it seriously works!

    The best thing about the Zone Manhattan diet would have to be the food. I was so surprised to see that I was still able to eat foods I enjoy, I even received Lobster! I lost all the weight I needed, and am currently on a maintanence program, which allows me to easily keep the weight off. I love it!

    I just have to say that the Zone Manhattan program really works! I signed up for a 31 day program and lost 17Lbs! The food is always fresh and there I see actual results. Although I have finished my plan, I find myself making healthier eating decisions, and eating less. It is a great way to jumpstart your summer. I would absolutly reccomend it to anyone!

    I have never done a diet delivery service before, but I have to tell you this one actually works! Because it comes to your door everyday, I didn't even have to try. I was also able to have it delievered directly to work during the week, and to my home on weekends. It did the work for me! I lost 20 LBS and now I am ready for spring!

    I'm awful with diets but this company has really made it easy for me to loose weight. I don't have to worry about planning my meals or counting my calories. They do it for me. They deliver 3 meals and 2 snacks everyday. And when I say they deliver every day, I mean it. They even delivered in the Blizzard last week!

    As a long time customer of Zone Manhattan I must recommend you try it. Whether you are looking to loose weight, or just eat healthier they have a program for you. My husband and I joined about a year ago for a 14-day plan, hoping to loose a little weight for our anniversary and we haven't stopped yet!

    I loved it. This is my second time renewing. The food is great the service is flawless. It is like having a private chef cooking you meals. I would recommend this program to all. The seafood is fresh the vegetables are cooked well. Low sodium and low cholesterol. I feel great.

    I signed up for the 31 day program and have lost more then expected. After 21 days I have lost 15 LBs. When I first started the program I never expected to last more then 5 to 7 days. Here i am 21 day later and luven it. I feel great, I have more energy then ever and I love the food. This program has been a god send for me. The service and coneinance has been outstanding. Try it.

    I signed up for 60 days and only lasted 14. Food was ok but a bit on the boring side. Descriptions sound nice but overall boring. Lunches and eggs were below par. Biggest complaint is the cancellation policy which they do not make clear until AFTER u cancel. I am still trying to get my refund which they have yet to give me... 2 weeks later. I read about this before signing up and asked about it and they still did not make it clear and charging me an extra $100 to cancel. Although they still owe me $1000+ refund. Not worth the $$. And I would say the "fashionable" coolers are NOT fashionable or even nice. I would not say they were very clean either. Was kind of grossed out by them.

    When I first called to sign up, I was very skeptical since I am a vegetarian and I also do not eat seafood. I have tried other diets but the food just didn't cut it. I have been on the Zone Manhattan diet now for about 2 months I have loved it since day one. They really care about my allergies and the fact that I am a vegetarian. I love the mousses, the crepes and the salads. All of the food is delicious! I have recommended it my sisters and all of my friends.

    I must admit I was very reluctant to sign on when I did. What with the difficult economic times I definitely could not afford to do something that would be wasteful. However this program turned out to be one of the best things I have ever spent money on. The food was delicious I especially enjoyed the breakfast's. Who knew you could make pancakes and waffles healthy, I certainly didn't. The customer service really helped too. I would recommend it to anyone. I wanted to sign on to loose weight and I did I lost 5 pounds just after the first week. I just finished off my third week and I have lost 15 pounds!!!!!! That’s 5 pounds per week eating really delicious food. I would highly recommend this service, it truly is great!

    I was initially drawn to this service especially after a really bad experience with another service and I absolutely loved it. Besides the fact that I lost 20 pounds after trying this program for a month I also had excellently prepared meals delivered right to my doorstep. I was great I would reccomend it to anyone. The customer service is so helpful kind and informative I will continue my program for another month or so I cant wait to see the wonderful meals they have in store for me.

    I normaly don't comment on restaurants and products, however I really feel strongly about Zone Manhattan Com. I alway have had problems sticking to a diet program, even othere diet delivery programs. Zone Manhattan . Com made it easy to acheive my goal weight. The food was the freshest quality and absolutly delicious. I loved the fish and seafood. I recomend this program and I now use it as a maintenance program.

    A lot of the reviews for this service are a little too obviously not written by an actual consumer. I completed the 31 day program recently and while I did lose weight, there was basically no variety to my meals. While I didn't expect to receive lobster necessarily, I expected more variety than chicken almost everyday for lunch, and that I wouldn't have many many repeat meals and snacks during this limited time period. I'm not a picky eater, but overall the program was pretty disappointing for the money I spent.

    I love the variety! With dishes like sweet Maine lobster and black rice how can you complain. I have been on othere programs before and it always is the same Grilled Chicken and a peice of colared kale or a bran muffin and egg white omelet. This company has introduced me to a new way of eating. I have recieved a wide variety of fish, which I love. As well as a wide variety of well cooked vegetables. I have been pleased from day one, I have just renewed and will recomend this to my friends.

    I get the feeling that these other positive reviews were written by the company. This has NOT been my experience- far from it. I am giving this company two stars as opposed to only one, because yes, you can get them on the phone. But trust me, it makes no difference, because they can't keep your information straight. I put in my order and the dietitian called me within the day to take my food preferences. The next day they sent me something I told them I was allergic to. I called to complain and got a receptionist who could barely hold a conversation. The dietitian called me back, told me they couldn't find my records, and once again took my food preferences. Two days later, ANOTHER food I requested not be included was. This has happened FOUR TIMES IN ONE WEEK. Add to that the fact that they serve the same meals more or less over and over and the fact that they are BLAND and there you have Zone Manhattan. I'm only glad that I opted for the two week program. Oh- and they tell you that t... Read more

    I created this account just so I could write this review. I have never experienced such a great service before. Not only do I get 3 wonderful meals and 2 tasty snacks, but the customer service is great to boot!!! I signed on with one of the helpful customer service reps. who took all my info and within less than a day I spoke with a friendly dietician who listened to my concerns and worked with me to help me get started. The meals are excellent and well thought out and FRESH which is soo hard to come by and what makes this service number 1!!! I must admit that after reading a few of the reviews I was skeptical at first about joining, but I realized the good reviews out weighed the bad and I gave it a try and it was the best thing I ever did. I don't understand the member who said that she always received chicken or fruit salads. The meals are sent out based on the information we provide and they never send anything that you requests not to have. Perhaps she had so many dislikes that t... Read more

    I've been busting to tell someone about my experiance with ZoneManhattan com. I've been with the program for over a month and have almost reached my goal weight. I have never eaten so well. I live in Manhattan and am a softy for fast food, I hadn't seen a green vegetables since I left home. I almost forgot what they tasted like. Now for about what it costs for my fast food and chinesse fix I get Three fresh meal and two snacks filled with green tastey vegies for about the same price. I have lost over 19 pound and when I reach my goal weight I will start their maintenance program and try to maintain a good healthy weight while eating well. I luv it, I luv it, I luv it.

I am still a customer and will be until I reach my goal weight. Which is now with in my reach thanks to ZoneManhattan

    I have to agree with the review that was posted right before mine- if there was an option to give negative stars, this place would have earned it. Her situation seems similar to mine. My husband and I decided to try the program for 7days. So many things went wrong, but I will attempt to make this short. On two separate occasions they sent us food we specifically asked not to be sent (and we only asked not to be sent 3 items: pork, salmon or tuna fish salad-which we ended up recieving two out of three); each time they apologized- and then it happened again. So on day 2, I realized this was a mistake and asked to cancel our service via the phone number they list you can call. Low and behold, the lady who answered explained that I would have to write an email to cancel- that phone number doesn't connect to the customer service department; and furthermore, she claimed she did not even have a phone number to contact them. So I emailed them. They gave us the BS about how it ta... Read more

    If I could have used negative stars, I would have. This was the WORST program of any sort on the planet. This does not seem to be a very difficult program to administer, and my only dietary restriction was that I did not eat red meat or pork and wanted two sweet snacks instead of one sweet, one "savory" (whatever that means), yet on five out of seven days that I had the service before canceling, they screwed up my delivery and gave me red meat, and/or the wrong snack. In fact, on a day they gave me the "savory" snack, it was STEAK!! Worst of all, though, was the absolutely absent customer service. I emailed on the third day and requested that a manager call me with a plan for remedying the mess, and not only did I not hear from a manager, or even any employee for that matter, they screwed up AGAIN on that Friday, prompting me to call YET AGAIN! During this conversation, probably the third of its kind, I again requested to speak to a manager and was told I had to email the reques... Read more

I signed on for 14 days and i did not get any repeats in my food - everything was different every day. i highly recommend this service. Why?? they delivered to my office during the week and to my home on the weekends. the food is amazing and always fresh and has never disappointed me. (besides, i want to be able to eat what i want at the holidays not have to worry that i'm going off a diet if i "skip" a day -- it doesnt feel like a diet to me.

    I had beed bouncing around diet delivery programs until I found ZoneManhattanCom. I have been with them for over a year and have lost and kept off 53lb's. I love the simplisity of there program, the food is not to rich and the variaty is all you could ask for. The Black Rice Pilaf and Seared Scallops is my favorate. I have never felt better and find my self doing things I never thought I would be doing at my age. Like writing this review, I normally don't write these but in this case I am happy too.

    Zone Manhattan is my favorite diet delivery program (I've tried many other services). My delivery comes to my door every morning and the food is very fresh and delicious. I've been on the program for about month and have lost 15 lbs. They provide me with enough food so I don't get those dreaded cravings. I'm always full and satisfied. My friends and coworkers have seen me loose the weight and have been asking what I have done.I referred my friend and they gave me one free day. I highly recommend this program to my friends, family and to anyone interested in loosing weight or those who are looking to eat health.

    I read some of the negative reviews and thought I would give them a chance anyway. The price was so good I had to give it a shot. I didn't understand what the problem was. I found the variety very good, they were very friendly and willing to work with me on my likes and dislikes. Never any problem or issue. And, most of all, I lost about 37 pounds!!! I really think some people are just very high maintenence and hard to please. I mean, this is New York, the land of the neurotic. Especially when you are working with people who need to lose weight. I simply found the whole experience very pleasant and will recommend them to anyone.

    The online menu makes it look like there are lots of appetizing options, but in reality they keep serving the same food over and over. i got chicken salad for lunch literally every single day. The food is fresh and delivery is very reliable, but i also found it a bit bland and wish there would've been some more seasoning or different types of flavor profiles. Also, they constantly mess up on dietary restrictions as i've received several of the things i explicity asked them to exclude. they apologized after i emailed them, but still kept making mistakes. go with zone chefs instead, it's more expensive but worth it.
