Did I have my complaints? Yes. Do I think Sakara is still a good investment? Also yes, if you're willing to spend the money and commit to eating healthier. The nutrition behind it is sound, the foods are fresh, healthy, and delicious, and it takes the guessing out of the equation: you know you're getting whole, healthy food for every meal, which can be a big mental relief. If you work out often, it is worth it to ask yourself whether you're willing to shell out for the meal delivery and extra snacks in case you get hungry. Given my budget and frankly enormous appetite, I'm not sure Sakara would be enough for me on a regular basis. But the meals I tried were great, and despite the (potentially unrelated) bloating, my body did feel alert and energized.
I also appreciated the brand's emphasis on how the food makes you feel rather than look. Although some client testimonies mention weight loss, the focus is on improving your quality of life, feeling more energetic, helping your body function at its best. Sakara bills itself as a lifestyle, not a diet. I was wary of trusting my food (and body) to a meal plan, but that attitude, plus the brand's science-based food choices, helped me trust what I was getting myself into, even through the ups and downs.
Curious to try this Sakara ($255 starting at).
