So this week I’m taking a break from my meal preps. The whole house was sick and I just didn’t have the energy to prep my week of food on top of all the illness. So I bought a weeks work of Nutrisystem kick start. Figured it would be a good change up for my body anyways and might help push forward. Anyone try this ? How was it

Do you want my take? Not worth two hoots. I practice a bunch of added sugar avoidance on purpose due to necessary monitoring for my glucose regulation. You might've picked up one week at a big box store. I've looked at all of those meals and there's absolutely nothing magical about those dehydrated meals that will kick start or fix anything for long term weight stability.
You know how to cook and you want a break from meal preps. Start thinking of Grab N Go meals that won't take up so much of your time and give you that break. Enjoy the week because you paid for it but I surmise it might be the last one you'll want to do.8 -
Thanks for your advice !! It was a random grab 2 people have the flu in my house and I have a touch of something. It sounded good at the time. Ha ! I guess like you said just enjoy the week and move on :-)4

Yes, enjoy your break from cooking. Report back and tell all. I want to know what you think after one week. I don't want to rain on anyone's NutriSystem parade. Really. I had a roommate who lost 100 lbs with NS and rebounded back with every single one of them when all of the food delivery was said and done.
He was a male roommate and he get so depressed after returning to regular food with the weight stacking back on like a freight train that he started drinking Maker's Mark every evening and it turned into a total cluster.

He went through a lorra lorra Maker's Mark until he would pass out on the couch every single evening while playing Tracy Chapman over and over and over again. You got a fast car I got a fast car, I had a fast car.
He married a wonderful woman and I left there on two wheels while bounding around the corners.

To be fair, cooking usually drives me to drink too!6

Hi WW13, yes, I use NS as you describe when I need support for meal prep. I mean is it so delish I just can’t wait and go running home to indulge? No. Some of the meals are terrible. But some are good enough when I really need that help and keep me heading towards different habits. As someone else said, I also looked at the items & got ideas for quick items I could shop for (is that “grab & go”?), like “oh a burrito <250cals, oh ice cream cups <200 cals”. (FYI- Amy’s burrito’s & Market Pantry ice cream cups!) Good luck 🍀1

I haf liked at the five meal kit they sell at my store and Walmart and really contemplated it but realized it wasn’t a full week of meals and only covered 2 meals 2 snacks and I just need the portion control. However I think of it and realize I could do it with good food or even with lean cuisine or frozen meals they have now.0

I think nutrisystem could be a great place for some to begin. They have a wide variety of choices and food is color coded. Pick what you feel like eating and add veggies/fruit. For some where to begin can be overwhelming. This could be a tool to learn portions and also motivational when scale goes in the right direction. Baby steps if you will.0

I used NS last year and lost most of my weight doing so. It teaches you portion control, for one, which I think a lot of people need. It's not necessarily more expensive than say, buying a bunch of Lean Cuisines or other frozen/prepared meals at the grocery.2
