Seattle Sutton

Seattle Sutton is the creator of a pre-packaged diet plan of fresh food that is provided twice a week. They have 2 levels, 1,000 calories that becomes 1,200 calories when you add 2 fat-free dairy products as recommended, or the 1,800 calorie plan with the same (or similar) recommendation. I've been doing the 1,200 calorie plan for 4 weeks. I'm going into my 5th week on Thursday. You start on Thursday when you pay and pick up your first set of meals. Then you return on Monday for the remainder of the week's meals.

Nutrition

They claim 64 grams of protein is provided per day. I don't think so. I've counted and some days you get 64, and some days you get 35. I asked about this, and they said it 'balances out for the week' (I'm not convinced, but I haven't calculated an entire week), and that you shouldn't eat too much protein anyway.

It is a calorie and fat controlled plan. But I don't think it's healthful as in 'health food' healthful. It is somewhat 'old fashioned' in that it's not low-carb at all. You don't get any choices, but they don't serve any beef, which was a plus for my taste. She offers way too many real sugar sweets (muffins, sweet breads), especially for breakfast. She also offers fruit juices, which I think are nutritionally not worth the calorie cost.

Fresh Fruit

She provides fresh fruit in some, not all meals, on average 1 piece of fresh fruit a day. The fruit is very small in size and almost never ripe. They don't wash it or wrap it. The first week, I got a fresh (unripe) kiwi with my processed turkey 'steak' sandwich, which included a whole grain bun, lettuce, and low fat mayo. The unwashed, unprotected kiwi had 'shed' kiwi 'fur' onto the turkey.

Summary

The food is rather bland (tuna noodle casserole) but she does try to make it interesting (the chicken fajita was good, but not spicy). Nothing is repeated in a month, altho in the 5th week, I've begun to seen repeated meals. It costs me $99 a week for the 1,000 calorie plan. Not sure what the bigger plan costs. That's an 'average' cost. In some areas it's cheaper, but not more expensive, I don't think. If you learn more an try it out click here.
