Complaints About Nutrisystem? Not If You Read This!

The Nutrisystem is marketed in magazines, newspapers, on television and on the internet, it is everywhere. In fact, many celebrities use the plan and act as spokespersons. Followers on average lose about 35 pounds and some people lose substantially more even more than 120 pounds.

This diet plan started by marketing only to women. Today, however, they offer plans for men, women, and seniors. In fact they’ve even branched out and now offer plans for diabetics and vegetarians.

The Nutrisystem Diet is based on the glycemic index and uses this system to help people lose weight. High glycemic index foods cause a spike in insulin production, which causes you to be more hungry after consuming these types of food. Low glycemic foods do not cause an insulin spike are digested, in general, more slowly and are more satisfying.

Nutrisystem is a food delivery plan. This means food is delivered to your doorstep every 4 weeks. The food is packaged so as to not require refrigeration. And each dish comes with easy to follow preparation instructions.

The food is proportioned to provide nutrients and low glycemic index foods. These “good carbs” cause rapid weight loss with very little effort. According to the commercials, those who use the plan say that the weight literally melted off of them.

The Nutrisystem Plan encourages participants to eat low fat milk, dairy, salads, and fruits to each prepackaged meal. The plan focuses on eliminating the bad carbs that most people gorge on everyday. This diet realizes that protein is protein but the primary reason people gain weight is because they overeat bad carbohydrates that are high glycemic foods. Processed carbs spike insulin in the blood while carbs derived from whole grains help stabilize insulin.

While the Nutrisystem Diet is designed to work without exercise, adding an exercise routine will only improve your results. Even adding a short walk, swim, run, or weight lifting routine to your health plan will yield astounding results when combined with the Nutrisystem Diet.

One criticism of the Nutrisystem Diet is that it is too expensive. However, most people do not realize just how much they spend on food. The Nutrisystem Diet completely replaces all of your meals and the costs associated therewith. So if you typically spend 200-400 on food per month (and be honest those $2 muffins and $3 coffees count) you’ll spend the same or less with Nutrisystem. And you’ll be losing weight just by eating!! Nutrisystem does not require record keeping. No calorie counting. No diet diaries. You just select your meals, add some healthy sides and eat!
