I have to say that this is the first time that I've watched an entire NutriSystem show on QVC. I loved Marie's gusto and honesty. If I hadn't just rejoined Weight Watchers, I would have ordered the system tonight. However, if you continue to let Marie be the spokesperson instead of the usual lady that you have on, you might have a convert!!!

I have one word for this food - NASTY! It doesn't remotely resemble what QVC shows on air. It has the most horrible aftertaste & the consistency of most of these meals is repulsive. I find it hard to believe that the celebrities who pitch NS actually eat this stuff behind closed doors. No way. QVC, I've always loved you, but you are losing your credibility with viewers by selling this swill. Certainly, some of your hosts have tried the stuff & know how misleading the segments are. I & my daughters are so disappointed in you. Please stop. We, your customers, deserve better. If you don't believe me & all the other dissatisfied consumers, have your executives try this nasty stuff for a week or two. Sickening!

I almost forgot to ask. Not that I am going to try it, but what is "artificially lightened" chicken salad?

She (Marie) was also doing Vegas shows requiring dancing there as well and she's probably got a trainer or at least a good exercise routine. Practically all the reviews are bad as for taste and frankly, you have to add so many extras like veggies, fruits,etc that it really ends up costing a fortune. No, I haven't tried it and I don't plan to since most say it tastes like cardboard except for the snack bars.

NS has a rep for tasting like garbage.

The chicken salad is actually one of the tastier items- but I added a cup of chopped up chicken to the mix. I'm not a mayo fan to begin with- but this seemed to be mayo with some chicken thrown in - rather than chicken!

Artifically lightened? Eek gads, what the heck was I putting into my body ?!! {#emotions_dlg.crying}

I don't like to cook, so I loved being on NS. I lost 25 lbs. in 2 months, the problem was the food was too expensive. Besides the NS food, I was spending $30 a week for veggies & dairy at the grocery store.

I tried the NutriSystem food for a month and quit because it was too expensive and the food tasted terrible! I ended up advertising the left over food on freecycle and gave it away. Never again!

Marie O lost her weight on DWTS I doubt very much she does nutrisystem. I too have had people tell me the food is like eating cardboard. Yuck

ITA Blondilocks!!! Weeks of intense dance practice, was the real weight loss system, NOT this so called "diet" system. What a crock. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

I feel so strongly about how bad that food is that I have to post again. Please don't fall for their hard sell. The food is awful. When I ordered it, I thought to myself, just two months on this program and that's it. I didn't last three weeks. Anyone that pushes this program has no integrity. There is no possible way they can say the food tastes good. It has a terrible after taste. Don't buy this terrible program. You lose the weight because you can't eat it. I'm wracking my brain for one meal I enjoyed. I can't think of one. I went back to WW, and lost what I needed. Don't do it. I would feel sorry for any host that has to push this program. I know they are only doing their job.

Maria Osmond dropped a lot of weight when she was on Dancing with the Stars. My grandmother tried Nutrisystem and said the food tasted terrible. Edited to add- I posted this before reading any of the other posts regarding the exercise Marie engaged in.

Marie Osmond lost her weight on Dancing with the Stars - not Nutrisystem - which doesn't work for most people. Totally overpriced, tasteless food and you can't stay on it very long. Celebrities will push any product to make lots of money.

I would love to try this, however, we live on Social Security and it is just too expensive for me.

yes, and thanks to somebody.....no raise last January and no raise this January, but make sure you pay your Medicare increase! {#emotions_dlg.angry}
