NutriSystem Weight Loss Program Review Summary

The NutriSystem Weight Loss Program gained mainstream attention when ads featuring popular entertainer Marie Osmond as their spokesperson were aired and printed. The premise behind the NutriSystem Weight Loss Program is to eat prepackaged meals that take the guesswork out of counting calories and getting proper nutrition that is necessary for weight loss. NutriSystem scores high with consumers because it works as long as they eat the food but most agree that the food does not taste as good as they wish it did. The NutriSystem Weight Loss Program is also expensive and dieters have trouble keeping the weight off when they wean off the diet and eat "regular" foods. This program is a good jump start to weight loss, say those who use the plan, but it's essential to learn proper eating habits to maintain the results you achieve while on the NutriSystem Weight Loss Program.

I started on the Nutrisystem plan in May of '06.  By July of '07, I had lost 90 pounds -- from 320 to 230.  I had set a goal of 170, but often thought I might change my goal to 160 so I could one day say that I had lost half of myself.

BUT.....then I started to eat a bit of this and a bit of that, so...

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... review »

I did Nutrisystem about 4 years ago and went from a size 24 to a size 2 in 18 months.  I kept the 140 pounds off for about 3 years, until medical issues made it impossible for me to exercise, and some medicines I was taking caused weight gain.  I have just started the program again and have lost 30 pounds in 10 weeks.  The program works if you stick with it 100 percent.  I don't cheat at all during the day, and I drink close to 100 ounces of water a day.  The motivation has to come from within.  Nutrisystem's greatest asset is that it teaches people portion control.  The biggest downside... review »

Terrible customer service.  They can't seem to get things right, and then they only want to give a partial refund even when the customer never received their order.  They don't want you to cancel, and as one customer service person said, "it normally takes 7 - 10 days to get the credit (partial refund)" after scores of calls about not receiving their order.  Don't try calling upper management.  Executives will not reply and lead supervisors are EXTREMELY rude.  They follow a script and no one THINKS.  You will be penalized if you cancel out of frustration because they make the same mistakes...

The Nutrisystem diet plan will make you lose weight.  I lost 10 lbs the first month I was on the plan, which I was very happy with.  The key to the plan is that you are eating about 1000 to 1200 calories a day.  Personally I would rather count my calories and lose the weight instead of subjecting myself to prepackaged, vacuum sealed foods that don't have to be refridgerated (I had a huge issue with meat that you stored in your cupboard).

By the second month I couldn't take the food anymore.  I will admit that I am a picky eater, but I can usually just pick out the things I don't like. ...

I tried NutriSystem a few months back and some of the food reminded me of that from a hospital or school cafeteria. It was helpful to have the meals already planned out and there is no guessing. It wasn't right for me. The advertisement with Marie Osmond just seems not totally truthfull, since if I recall correctly, she was on Dancing with the Stars part of the time she was on the diet. From what I have heard on the show, these celebrities spend hours and hours a day practicing, which is usually more exercise than the average person can get on a daily basis. You definitely can lose weight on... review »

The NutriSystem program is amazing! The food is convenient and if you follow the plan and exercise you will lose weight. However, the food is not good at all. I think the advertisements are misleading with the quantity and quality of the food. They show 2 helpings on one plate and the color is completely different, it actually does look good. But when you peel back the plastic cover over your meal you see something completely different. Losing weight does not have to taste bad. NutriSystem is a great platform in helping with weight loss, teaching you portion size and label reading. If you...

I started Nutrisystem 4 wks ago, and so far,with exercise, I've lost 18 lbs.  Most of the food taste okay, but some of it is not so tastey.  I'm glad I tried it, and lost the weight that I have lost.  I'm not going to buy it again, because of cost, but I do plan to stay with a similar diet of food I purchase from a grocery store.  It will cost me half as much.  I don't regret trying Nutrisystem, and I do recommend it for a good start to weight loss.  Good Luck!!

I really liked how this program works. It's great. The food tastes pretty good and you get to lose weight at the same time. You don't feel tired or hungry either. Their step process is easy to follow as well. I've told all my friends about the plan and they want to join now and start losing some weight. Great advice from people who really care about your health. Buy it now.

I have been on the Nutrisystem weight loss plan for almost 8 months and have lost over 50 pounds on it.  My husband has lost 64 pounds.

 We love the simplicity of the plan.  We get breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert entrees that do not require refrigeration and add our own additional protein/dairy, fruit, salad and vegetable items to it.

I used Nutrisystem to lose weight and it worked.  The food was good and everything seemed pretty easy.  The problem came in when I could no longer afford to purchase their food.  I was unprepared for the real world and quickly gained the weight back.  This is a pricey option for those looking to lose weight.

I tried Nutri System favorites for two months about a year ago.  Using the food brought my diabetic A1C down to a 5.  I did not try to use it as a diet, although I needed to diet too, but I don't like to keep track of what I eat.  Now my A1C is crawling up again to over 6.4 points so I decided to use Nutri System again.  This time I am determined to diet, but so far I have only eaten more food since I got the order. I don't know what to do with myself, so I guess I will have to try the counseling also.  I tried some last time, but I didn't want to do what they recommended, so it was my fault...

I had spent the previous two years trying all kinds of diets and exercise plans. I could keep my weight steady on them but never lost any. I had all but given up on diets until my mom showed me the Nutrisystem. I was on it for only two months and by four months I had lost 20 pounds. It is the greatest system. Most of the foods are good. The main thing that I liked the most about this program is that it teaches you how to eat so that when you eventually get off the plan (because you dont have to continue indefinatly) you dont gain all the weight back. This is amazing and I would reccommend it to...

I used Nutrisystem last year for about 4 mos. and lost 40 lbs.  Unfortunately, I have no self control and managed to lose it back over the next year, but have chosen to go back on Nutrisystem and am already down 10 again.  The food is not all great, but the program gives the flexibility to choose the items that you like.  If you don't like something, don't buy it.  As far as price, I think that it is very affordable if you stick at least 90% to the program.  If you start straying, you spend more.  Also, back to the "if you don't like it, don't buy it" statement, if you buy food you don't... review »

I have used Nutrisystem for a couple years now--at first religiously, now not so much. The food, which largely was good when I started (with the exception of the tuna casserole), has gotten even better. Its a bit pricey but there are good discounts for regular purchasers, and now there is a weekends-off version that is, of course, cheaper.

The program offers tasty food in controlled portions (portion control is often a huge problem for die-hard dieters). Most of it is really good. The chocolate is good but tastes vaguely vitamin-filled. The chocolate cake mix is amazing (I add a bit of extra water...
