Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program Review

Diet and Fitness

Plans

Nutrisystem has several programs geared toward people with different needs and budgets. The meal plans are available for men, women, for vegetarians, and for people with type 2 diabetes. The plans come with a Turbo 13 plan, which is basically designed to help you lose up to 13 pounds and 7 inches in your first month. Once you sign up to the auto-delivery option, you will get deliveries every 4 weeks, unless you cancel.

Calorie Count

The Nutrisystem plans are packed with low carbs to help you lose pounds. The plan lets you eat 1000 calories per day during the first week to produce instant results. However, the low-calorie count is only for the first week. From the second week onwards, men will consume around 1,500 calories and women around 1,200 calories each day.

The Nutrisystem food calorie calculator follows the lower-glycemic program. 50% of the calories come from carbohydrates, 25% from protein and 25% from fat. The diet lets you consume less than 2,300 mgs of sodium per day.

The Right Plan

You can choose the right Nutrisystem plan for you based on your weight-loss goal. For example, if you want to lose 30 pounds by losing 1-2 pounds each week, this means you will need to be on the Nutrisystem diet for 15 weeks or approximately 3 – 4 months. You can choose the popular Core plan here to have a slow but steady growth throughout the course of 3 – 4 months.

Tracking Capabilities

The Nutrisystem plan comes with support services such as online tracking, meal plans, and guides for eating out. Members who choose the Core, Uniquely Yours, Uniquely Yours Plus or Vegetarian plan will also have access to the on-call counselors for a one-to-one conversation via phone, email or live chat. Most of the counselors come from backgrounds related to weight-loss such as health sciences, psychology, and other relevant fields. They also appoint Certified Diabetes Educators to support the members of the Diabetes program.

Prices

There are several different plans available at the site, including Nutrisystem for men, for customers with diabetes, and for those who are aspiring to be (or are already) vegetarian.

Comparison to Other Weight Loss Programs

Nutrisystem is very different from other weight loss programs, as it is a weight loss meal delivery service rather than a free weight loss program. There are other services, such as Thin Slim Foods, that will allow you to order healthy foods, but few of them offer such a comprehensive meal delivery service. Of course, the great advantage of this is that it requires very little work on your part, you do not have to read books such as Simply Keto, or follow programs such as the Lose Your Belly Diet, rather, you just have to eat the food that is delivered to your doorstep.

Conclusion

NutriSystem offers an excellent service that is perfect for those who need help improving their eating habits with the aim of losing weight. They offer an excellent choice of food with meal plans that cater to every need. While it is a more expensive option, it guarantees that you will be eating the correct goods and as a result, is an excellent option for those serious about losing weight.
