    Rather than pay anything my advice is to track your diet work out the calorie contents then decide if you are eating too much.

    This, eating clean is great but for weight loss the main thing is calories in, take a honest count of your intake then look at reducing.

    Also in the long run, it's easier to teach yourself what you like/dislike/what works well for your body because you won't be paying someone to give you a meal plan every week for the rest of your life. Once you lose the weight and stop getting the meal plans, many people go back to eating how/what they want and pile the weight back on. Take the time to teach yourself the basics of nutrition and you're set for life!

    Not qualified, so just my experience... A calorie is a calorie, and you just have to eat to a deficit to lose weight. My process, after a few years messing with fads, no bread, points etc was...

    1) Work out my maintenance calories (there was a link in a sticky somewhere)
    2) Take off 500 calories (some say 15% instead) to give target calories
    3) Use myfitnesspal to track intake - honestly and accurately. That means scales, prepping meals yourself, and at the very least realistic guestimates if eating out (i.e. don't take the lowest figure that myfitnesspal gives for something).
    4) Weight in weekly (same time, same day each week) and recalculate maintenance and calculate new target calories

    I honestly found no difference in what I ate, once I stuck to the target. I often had a bar in the early weeks/ months, if I had the calories to spare in the evening, and portion size/ control was much of my initial process. But my diet has changed a lot, but it's been a gradual process, and so far sustainable.
