The Nutrisystems Diet focus is on
eating foods that are nutritionally balanced, a decreased calorie
intake and regular exercise. One of the main goals that the company
wants to accomplish is educating people about healthy portion sizes. We
all know how hard it is to find and prepare the foods we need to eat to
lose weight and stay healthy. Nutrisystems diet has taken the guesswork
out of dieting by having well balanced prepackaged meals delivered
right to your door. The best part is you get a month’s supply that
never has to be refrigerated.
On this diet, you are still
responsible for buying about 50% of additional food items such as fresh
fruits, salads, low GI carbohydrates such as bread, eggs, and low or
nonfat cheeses and yogurts. While on the diet, you eat three meals a
day plus dessert and some snacks. There are lots of different meal
options to choose from. You have a choice from 16 difference
breakfasts, 30 lunches, 40 dinners, and 20 snacks to choose from in
order to make your eating experience pleasurable while you are losing
weight.
You pay for the food you will eat at a cost of
about $300/month in this membership program. The basic membership is
free and you always have complete access to their website where you
will receive online support and all sorts of informational resources to
pull from. The Nutrisystems Diet cost for some seems to be on the
expensive side but if you were to add up the cost to purchase each item
for meals individually, prep and cook time, you will find that the cost
is actually cheaper. The best part is you receive meals right to your
front door that are prepackaged, and are the right sized portions.
Some
critics say that being on the Nutrisystems Diet does not work for
long-term weight loss because of having to go back to a regular diet at
some point. However, you can combat this by using what you had been
eating as an example as the types of food you should continue to
prepare for your self along with the appropriate size portions. So this
negative can very well become a positive.
