Nutrisystem Program

gazelle77 — Wed, 03 Sep 2014 16:41:04 GMT

This would be for someone with an addiction to junk type of foods... so much cake, cookies and such.... processed unhealthy food. I see they seem to focus on pizza and spaghetti etc.... once you go off of the program, you are still hooked on junk food? Makes NO sense to me......

Eating itty-bitty bad-tasting cookies would just set me off to bake a batch of real cookies.

I think you lose weight because it looks so un-appetizing.

I've never used it or any other weight-loss product, but I guess it's so people aren't feeling "deprived" and like they're on a diet. If they were only eating fish and vegetables, they may not stick to it.

It might be easier to stick with if you were payed MILLIONS$$$$$ like Marie Osmond.

It must work for some people -- people who have undiscerning taste buds. Really, that's the only thing that makes sense.

I know a few people who lost a lot of weight on this program. Unfortunately, as soon as they went back to eating regular foods, they put all the weight back on. But that could happen with any program. You have to be willing to make a lifestyle change or forget it.

Nothing replaces healthy food & exercise.

That said, my husband saw a couple from the neighborhood, they had the weight loss surgery maybe 5-7 years ago . . . and said they were back big as ever. Very sad. Especially for their children, one daughter is my daughters age and other is a year or two younger than my son. They too had weight issues over the years growing up and they both seem to work very, very hard at maintaining a healthy weight despite their environment . . . and running miles & miles around the neighborhood.

By law, she has to use the product at least some of the time. Years ago there was a blond actress stumping for hair color, and her "legal" use of the product was a strand of her hair at the back of her head.

I don't know if they still have it but the funniest thing was a dried hamburger that you put water on and it puffs up into a ""real"" burger.

I said OMG now not only am I fat evidently I am trying out to be an astronaut!

I did lose 30 pounds on NS but it was because I stopped eating most of the food.

My friend lost 100lbs on the program. At the time she was working alot of hours and liked that the meals were already thought out. She had a baby a year later and slowly gained it all back.

I think programs like this are OK for those struggling to lose weight IN THE SHORT TERM. The food is highly processed, and full of sodium, with little real nutritional value. But, if it jumpstarts someone into portion control, weight loss, and lifestyle change, then it probably isn't bad in the short term.

My mom ordered the food one time, and I thought it was very high in sodium and not really all that good. I could eat it, but it wasn't really enjoyable or good.

WOW! That is a lot of weight to lose. So sad she never really learned how to eat properly and gained it all back. She must have felt horrible. I think that is the problem with these programs giving you the food to eat... once you go on your own, you do not really have the tools to continue the portion control and such, and you go back to your old eatting patterns that got you in trouble in the first place.

Have you tried this? You can choose what you want and it's good.

Whether or not someone succeeds is a choice. If you want to win, you really have to work at it and sometimes life keeps you so busy, you end up on the back burner in tending to yourself. It is a job!

I don't understand any of these so called diets. All people have to do is cut out junk food, eat healthier food, and work out. Its that simple. There is no magic potion.
