NutriSystem Weight Loss Program —

I ordered Nutrisystem when I finally decided that being overweight and diabetic was not okay any more. I've tried a lot of other diet approaches from pills to shakes to programs and nothing has worked for me yet. Marie Osmond losing 45 pounds in four months intriqued me. I knew I probably wouldn't lose it that fast, but even 45 pounds in 8 months would work for me. Having the "big box" arrive on my doorstep automatically each month provides incentive in regard to not having to think or make excuses for not having what I need to stick to the program on hand. The cost seems a little expensive, but really isn't when I looked at how much I was spending to eat out each month in addition to my regular grocery shopping. You do have to add items such as salad, some dairy, and fruit, but I am buying those items for my family anyway. I liked the color coding, and appreciated the ability to adjust my order to my liking each month prior to shipping. Most of the food is okay. If you are someone who isn't into to cooking and are used to eating frozen or processed food, most of the choices will be fine with you. I hated the eggs, and found that the added fiber and soy does give you a lot of gas, which can become embarrassing. As a diabetic, I found my sugars stayed stable, and I wasn't hungry all the time. My diabetic nutritionist even gave me the thumbs up to using it after she researched it. I didn't lose very fast, and became discouraged. My nutritionist says diabetics won't lose fast, meaning no more than about a pound a week. That makes dieting feel like and endless process and caused me to give up and cheat a few times. It can be hard to cook for your family and then heat up a Nutrisystem meal for yourself, but with some self talk and will power you can stick to it. I would think that this program would work well for someone who is busy, doesn't have many food oriented social events, and is looking to not think too hard about weight loss.
