Nutrisystem

Marie Osmond for Nutrisystem 

Nutrisystem is a diet plan that consists of pre-packaged meals delivered to your home. The food plan includes entrees, snacks and desserts. Users supply their own fresh fruits and vegetables. The diet is designed to help users control their appetite by eating low-glycemic foods that regulate the blood sugar and help curb cravings. Creaters of the Nutrisystem program claim that the eating plan is designed for dieters who don't have the time or inclination to choose and prepare their own meals. By having a ready-made meal delivered to their door, Nutrisystem users are more likely to make a healthy-eating choice at mealtime. Spokespersons for Nutrisystem, Inc. have included the popular entertainer, Marie Osmond, pictured at left.

Actual User Comments

"I have been on the Nutrisystem Plan for only 2 months and have lost 30lbs. ...Its a simple program, you see results fast which modivates you into staying with the program. I weigh less, feel healthier and have more energy than I have in over 20 years. TRY IT, IT REALLY WORKS!!" user comment amazon.com
"I think the only reason people lose weight on this plan is because they simply cannot keep the gross food down. I'd rather eat a live snake." user comment on epinions.com
"I tried the Nutrisystem program originally to debunk it. Several diet plans failed me. Once you leave the program, you revert back to the weight you were. In my case, Nutrisystem helped me to make lifestyle changes that everyone can apply whether you leave the program or not. I chose to stay, because I like the food and it's a convenient way to shop." user comment on amazon.com
"It worked for me. With the diet and exercise, I lost 120 lbs over 18 months." user comment amazon.com
"I decided to join Nutrisystem about a year and a half ago. I had a second child the previous year and had an extra 30 lbs to shed. I had convinced myself that I had "metabolism" problems. Eventhough it is expensive, my husband and I found the money for me to start. I had tried diet after diet before this. What I discovered to be the best part of Nutrisystem it really doesn't feel like a diet, more like a lifestyle/eating habit change. Well, 6 months later 35 lbs gone and back into single size clothes. Some of my clothes from high school were fitting. I was afraid to come off of the program. I was afraid eating habits would revert back and I would gain all the weight back. But, here I am over a year later and the weight plus some more is still off. It truly was a lifestyle change for me. I found eating smaller portions and being more aware of healthy foods became second nature. So, if you are ready... and only if you are ready... do it! My dad joined about 3 months after I started when they saw my body shrinking before their eyes and he lost 75 lbs (men stink!). If you aren't ready to 100% commit, you will be wasting your money. That means being ready to follow the program to the letter, crossing every "t" and dotting every "i." I knew if I paid that kind of money for something, I would commit to it. So,if you are ready to give it your all, go for it!" user comment amazon.com
"I have tried many diets to try and cut down on carbs. Nutrisystem is the first one that does not leave me hungry after meals. The best part is that Nutrisystem food actually tastes good. I eat like I want to and still lose weight. I have been on it for 4 months and am still not sick of it. I can see myself eating Nutrisystem forever." user comment on epinions.com
"This diet is the worst I have ever tried. The food tastes terrible with the exception of a few items. The portions required are so small I was hungry all the time. The first week I lost 3 lbs." user comment on epinions.com
"I loved Nutrisystem! I stuck to the program but, I still have treats on Halloween, Thanksgiving and so on. I lost an average of 10 pounds per month and on the months that I was consistent on work out sessions I lost 13 pounds. It is a great program and they send bears for every ten pounds that you lose, that was so much motivation. I would debate cheating but, I would see my bears that I earned so far and thought about how much I wanted that next bear, then I would not cheat. I lost a total of 60 pounds in 6 months." user comment on epinions.com
