Nutrisystem is a diet delivery program for weight loss that combines Nutrisystem meals with foods that you purchase from the supermarket. Nutrisystem offers multiple plans for men and women including basic, vegetarian, diabetic and a silver plan for older adults. Before starting a Nutrisystem basic plan or any weight-loss diet, find out how it works and get your doctor's approval.
Background Information
The Nutrisystem diet basic plan for men or women includes your Nutrisystem meals, a 28-day meal planner, a personalized plan, private counseling and Nutrisystem community membership. Nutrisystem food is fresh-frozen and is ready to eat or be heated when you receive it. Nutrisystem claims that its diet can help you lose at least 1 to 2 lbs. per week, which is a healthy weight-loss goal.
Nutrisystem Meals
Once a week, Nutrisystem delivers meals to your home or office. You get a Nutrisystem breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert or snack every day, and when you order your food, you can either accept the default choices or select from more than 150 different Nutrisystem options. They come in single-serving sizes, so you can eat the whole container instead of counting calories or measuring your portions. Nutrisystem food is high in fiber and protein to decrease your hunger, and the carbohydrates are low-glycemic to help you regulate your blood sugar.
Grocery Foods
The Nutrisystem basic plans for men and women recommend eating grocery foods to supplement your Nutrisystem meals. Have low-fat dairy and dairy alternatives to get your calcium and lean meat and fish for high-quality protein. Beans and whole grains provide dietary fiber, and healthy fats are in avocados, peanut butter and almonds. You can have a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, and you may satisfy your hunger by eating as much as you want of low-calorie vegetables such as zucchini, radishes and watercress.
Support
Once you purchase your Nutrisystem basic plan, you can create a personal online account where you can track your progress, plan your meals and physical activity and maintain a blog. You can participate in discussions and challenges with other Nutrisystem community members, and you will gain access to Nutrisystem advice and tutorials. Nutrisystem's basic plan includes a 24-hour support system so that you can contact a Nutrisystem counselor, via live chat or telephone, whenever you have a question.
