If you're searching for a good way to lose weight, you've undoubtedly come across Nutrisystem. One of the giants in the diet industry, Nutrisystem claims to have helped millions of people lose weight through a prepackaged food program and a litany of support services for members. The Nutrisystem site is loaded with success stories from people who have benefited from the diet program. They even offer rewards for those who manage to stay on track, lose the weight and keep it off. But there are certain factors that make the Nutrisystem diet not for everyone.
Expense of Food Plans
The Nutrisystem diet relies on a prepackaged food source. You buy your meals from Nutrisystem in a plan type of format. A monthly supply of Nutrisystem meals cost from $300 to $400, depending on your gender and whether you want a plan that is made up of member favorites or a custom plan.
Small Meal Sizes
It's been said that the Nutrisystem plan actually causes system shock to those who are unfamiliar with the sort of prepackaged dieting that Nutrisystem provides. Often times, the meals are not enough to satisfy the craving for food of your average dieter. One suggestion that may work, at least for the ladies, is to order the men's meals instead. The portions are bigger, but this is a diet--and that could be considered cheating.
Complaints About Taste of Food
This is another common complaint about the Nutrisystem diet. Because you buy prepackaged, frozen meals for every meal of the day, you aren't getting the freshness that you would if you bought the ingredients yourself and made the meals. A good, freshly prepared meal tastes a lot different than one that's been cooked a couple of months ahead of time and then stuck in the freezer.
