NutriSystem Diet Review

NutriSystem Diet Program - Overview

NutriSystem started out as a weight loss center-based diet program, like Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig, but has now repositioned itself as an online weight-management program.

The NutriSystem promotes the consumption of pre-packaged meals based on balanced nutrition (60 percent carbs, 20 percent protein, 20 percent fat) which are convenient for controlling portion size, but not ideal when it comes to preparing the dieter for making healthful food choices once the diet ends. It also raises the cost of the diet program.

True, as you get closer to your goal, you are weaned off the nutrisystem diet foods and you start making your own meals, but you must pay close attention to this part of the NutriSystem diet program in order to maintain your weight loss in the long term.

The cost of the NutriSystem diet program is $68.74 per week and includes:

1 week of food
Once a week counseling
Online nutrition classes
Member newsletter
Online bulletin boards and chat rooms
All food is privately delivered to your door in 3-5 days

The cost.

NutriSystem - Summary

Not recommended for the average dieter, because of the cost.
However, if you have the money and are prepared to learn how to maintain your weight loss by making the right food and cooking choices once the diet program is over, then NutriSystem will work for you.
