Nutrisystem, A Quick Overview
A friend of mine recently signed up for Nutrisystem and over the last few weeks I have had a chance to take a good look at it (and Sally’s weight loss) and thought that today I would tell you a bit about the changes at Nutrisystem.
Nutrisystem has really changed over the last few years. Once criticized for small portions for men and food that was not up to gourmet flavor now has revamped their program and it has now become one of the hottest diets around for Hollywood celebrities who are use to eating well.
The Nutrisystem weight loss program has foods that include the low end of the glycemic index with protein and fiber. They want you to eat five times a day so that the hunger pangs won’t occur which will prevent you from overeating. The idea behind this is to keep your blood sugar level even. You combine one of their entrees plus some items from the supermarket and you are set.
It is designed so you don’t have to measure food or count calories or points. There are several different 28 day programs including specific ones for women, men, diabetics and vegetarians. Food is delivered to your home. They include free online support for both phone and web-based counseling and recommend people use it to get their questions answered.
The ratio they have is 55 percent of calories are low-glycemic carbs, 25 percent are protein and 20 percent are fat. Their meal plans have low sodium and very little trans fats and saturated
fats.
For those on the go, the pre-prepared meals they send do not require refrigeration or freezing so the diet can be useful in the work place.
If you have not look at Nutrisystem in the last year or so you should take a second look at their diet choices, food variety and their interactive support.
