There's no guess work or counting calories, they've done it all.

You pick what you like to eat and you're on your way to weight loss.

NutriSystem has also made it easier for you to transition into cooking again with the types of meals you'll eat.

The meals are based on meals you would normally fix yourself.

NutriSystem Program

The USDA Food Guide Pyramid and the Glycemic Index are used as the basis for this diet plan. It's loaded with complex carbohydrates and it's low in calories and fat.

The bad carbohydrates are replaced with good carbohydrates. It's healthier and leaves you feeling satisfied for longer periods of time.

Programs Offered by NutriSystem

They offer more than one weight loss program.

For the mature woman they offer Nourish Women's Over 60 intended to assist the more mature woman with weight loss. It's a low calorie, nutritional program that's high in fiber, protein and healthy fats.

The Women's program includes a meal plan that offers more than 120 prepackaged meals and desserts.

NutriSystem provides a program for Type II diabetics. It controls carbohydrate and calorie consumption to encourage losing weight safely. Seventy prepackaged meals are offered including desserts.

They also have an all Vegetarian Program which offers over 60 prepackaged meals for Vegetarians.

They didn't leave the men out... they have a Men's Program and a Men's Over 60 Program.

The over 60 programs include vitamins and minerals with the meal plans.

Food Choices

NutriSystem does focus on balanced meals and portion control. The plan includes meals and snacks. You eat more often in smaller quantities.

The prepackaged meals are convenient and eliminate meal planning. The average cost is approximately $300.00 per month. The prices are very comparable and more affordable than some programs that offer packaged food.

There are a variety of meals to choose from such as pasta, lasagna, macaroni and cheese, Thai noodles with peanut sauce, veggie chili, hearty beef stew and many more. They even have great desserts like peanut butter cookies!

The packaged meals are loaded with nutrition, require no refrigeration and you can add spices and herbs for your own personal taste.

Eating out is doable, they'll go through that with you on the types of foods you need to choose.

Do I Have to Exercise?

Yes! (Well... that's my personal answer!) But in all seriousness, they do promote fitness. That should become a part of your lifestyle change along with better eating habits.

NutriSystem services are available online with complete support around the clock. You can also access them through email or telephone.

Membership is free and includes support and counseling, motivational support, online classes and a newsletter.

They also provide a chat room where you can meet people and get more support and motivation. You will have a member profile and have access to a personal online diary.

Remember... it's a good way to get started, but no weight loss program is permanent. You'll need to transition into a healthy diet and implement an exercise plan.
