Nutrisystem Good?

geegerbee — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 04:18:18 GMT

-Interested, but Rick is so hyper, I have to turn it off.

I have tried Nutrisystem before but the food was awful. Is this configuration better?

After reading all the responses, I was considering cancelling. To my surprise it has ALREADY shipped and will be arriving tomorrow. Wow!

I wouldn't eat the stuff. Junk ingredients.

I tried it before and I didn't like some of the food. Plus, I lost a few pounds and then got stuck. I had a counselor at Nutrisystem working with me, but never lost any more weight. I exercised and exercised again and again to no avail.

Processed food

Yes, some of their food is awful. Other items, like their pizza & lunch wraps are pretty good considering they're diet food. The pizza certainly isn't going to taste like one from a pizza resturaunt. But, eating that sort of thing is what made us all gain weight in the first place.

I wouldn't buy Nutrisystem from QVC because they send you a package of food that you can't choose yourself. Nutrisystem site also allows you to customize your plan for your needs, depending on your sex, age, if you have type 2 diabetes, or certain dietary restrictions. I know a lot of people don't like Nutrisystem. I don't think it's for everyone, but I lost 30 pounds on it 7 years ago. I used Nutrisystem to kickstart my healthy journey in life. After I lost the weight I transitioned to changing my previous unhealthy eating habits. I've been able to keep off 20 of the 30 pounds I lost. If someone just goes on Nutrisystem & thinks that's the end of it all when they reach their goal weight, they're mistaken. You simply can't go back to your previous eating habits or you'll gain the weight back.

I tried a few item a couple of years ago. I didn't really like anything. Nutrisystem doesn't really teach you how to eat. I've been doing WW and have lost almost 35 lbs. Real food and you learn how to eat for the rest of your life.

I did this back in 2018. I got it from QVC it was horrible! Mine didn't come with frozen meals so I don't know how those are. I remember after I ordered it about 4 months later I received a letter that some items were recalled, well that's alittle late.

Eat real food. There are about FORTY items in this packup that are snacks, cookies, "bars", cheese doodles,"shakes"...

Just buy real food. They tell you to add eggs, salads, sides like sweet potatoes, etc.....then fill up with this glop.

Read the description...decide for yourself. Also see my previous NS post about sizes of the products. TINY. If you REALLY need chips, doodles, bars, etc...just buy them in the store...

Like others said..this teaches you NOTHING about changing the eating habits you ahve that may now inspire you to buy this.

Me? I don't know how they get away with it. They COUNT on people not really looking at what's in the packages. Even Tuna Fish.Seriously...you can't make your own tuna salad?

Here's the list.

https://www.qvc.com/footers/fth/pdf/A636270_Jan24_TSV_WHATYOUGET.pdf

Count for yourself.

Sheesh

Real food people. In smaller portions, and get up and move. You know that's the way...you don't need this packaged fake stuff!!!!

It's packaged food. Preservatives and I wouldn't pay to eat this. Think of the fresh food you could purchase with this 299.98.

Fresh foods.

And seeing Marie, my heart sank. I looked at her and thought it was La Toya Jackson.

Looks like a sell out to her "natural health".

She even sounds nasal because her nose job is so small.

I generally like Marie but I'm sorry she's done this to her face. Once again, overkill

I tried to imagine if she went to herself underneath how classy she would look.

Does NS sell a vegetarian option?

Re: Nutrisystem Good?

scrapperlisa — Wed, 10 Jan 2024 15:50:02 GMT

I wish they had a gluten free option. And I don't like all those snack items and desserts. I'm not a snacker. That being said, I'm considering this TSV.

I haven't heard them say how many were sold. Do they have a limit? Is it possible for this to sell out?

Re: Nutrisystem Good?

Sweet Kitties — Wed, 10 Jan 2024 16:25:31 GMT

Sorry, but I find it hillarious that some responders are saying NS is processed food so they wouldn't eat it. Yet, I bet many of them buy frozen dinners, chips, artifical colored beverages, & bakery at the grocery store. Also resturants serve a lot of processed food. You're on a whole food diet? Where you cook everything from scratch? I bet not!

The food is nasty, no flavor, like eating cardboard. Couldn't watch Rick jumping around.

So, my husband is currently using Nutrisystem. He went with the cheapest plan available, so no "yummy" shakes, and he doesn't get to pick and choose his items. Personally, I couldn't care less about processed food. We eat a lot of that here. I only actually cook once a week. Hey, I don't like to cook.

That being said, he says the food is awful. He does supplement with salads. He has lost weight, but it does seem he has plateaued. However, we have been eating out more since he just can't stomach another one of those meals. He has claimed that he is stopping the program, but I won't know for sure until those big boxes stop showing up on the doorstep.

The reason behind all the snacks is Nutrisystem apparently believes you need to snack in between meals, probably to maintain blood sugar levels or something. I've seen other diet plans that do the same. All thoses snacks means the actual meals have to be very low in calories though. I can't even find frozen entrees as low in calories as the Nutrisystem meals. There was one brand of diet frozen entrees I was able to pick up one or two choices in the calorie range that was okay.

I think one of the reasons he has been trying to stick with it is their app that tracks everything. But, recently he found My Fitness Pal, and they have some new features since I used it several years ago. Had I thought MFP would be the answer, I would've mentioned it to him. It's just a tracking app, but one of the new features is he can take a picture of his food, put some info in, and it will approximate how many calories are in it. He took a pic of a salad at one of our haunts, and he thought it did a good job although he felt like it over-estimated the avocado in it.

Hopefully, using this app, he can get off of Nutrisystem and still continue his journey. I really woiuld've thought his cutting out alcohol would've affected his weight more than it did, but I'm thinking that could be because Nutrisystem is so restrictive that the low calories counteracted that move.

I bet so! I cook everyday. I grocery shop twice weekly. I follow a Mediterranean menu mostly with a lot of vegetables, greens, lean meats. I haven't eaten at a restaurant in 3 years, and don't eat drive thru ******, nor eat processed packaged frozen meals.

@katie1859 I thought the same thing when I saw her this morning with Mary . She appears to have had so much work done which I'm sure wasn't needed she was always pretty . Between the cheekbones, lips , eyes etc.

one thing though that really bothers me is I don't feel she's being genuine in that there is no way she lost weight only in the right places , I don't buy it for a second . She kept her chest , or got implants maybe , tiny , tiny waist , absolutely no hips ....just straight up and down and her face shows no sagging which you would most likely get with that type of weight lose. I've always thought of Marie as being very truthful and it's disappointing for her to hide that she has had lipo suction or surgeries, whatever to help her look better . Now I may be way off base, but I just don't feel this is all from Nutrisystem only .
