nutrisystem

I was on it .. maybe like a month .. it worked pretty well for me. It gets boring after a awhile eating the same food. I know they give you plenty of variety ..but still .. and most of the stuff is really just bland and gross. Like the eggs ..where you pour the water in and put in the microwave to cook .. it just taste like rubber. If you can make it work for you ..then that is great! I would do it again ..if I could afford it.

i always wanted to but i can't afford it....let me know how it works for you!

I wouldn't do it because I want to eat REAL food, not a chemical concoction.

I did it a few years ago and lost 30 pounds in 3 months. Once you figure out what food you like, it works! I was pretty pickey eater so my food choices were slim. I did gain some of the weight back over a year, that is what brought me here! Now I have learned to eat the right foods and make healthy choices on my own, and I do contribute NS for getting me started! It tought me portion control and got me started on veggies and getting off sugary foods and sodas. Once you lose the weight, the problem is maintaining it and learning to make healthy choices outside NS.
It also got me started on working out, now I do it everday!
Good Luck to you!

I ordered a one-month supply of it...and it's been 6 months and I'm still finishing it up. The first two weeks I followed it religiously - with great results. If you are strickly on it you will lose a lot of weight.

But to be honest, the food is not that great. Me, personally, I don't have a problem with portion size - I just cook more flavorful, ethnic, yet more fatty foods. So now I use nutrisystem foods about once a day to replace a meal that I would have usually cooked because my foods are usually high cal, high fat. It has helped me keep under my calorie goal. They also have a ton of fiber and protein. I am usually lacking in protein so this helps me a lot.

I think Nutrisystem serves it purpose for those that need guidance and will jump start a work out plan. However, I don't think you need to be on it religiously for a long period of time. You need to learn how to eat similar and keep total calories down while getting in a good balance of nutients, vitamins, etc.

I tried it also didn't like the food I went through about 3/4 of it. Threw it way and I had another months worth and ended up throwing that away so I wasted about 200 dollars. And I'm one who was taught never to waste food. Hence being over weight to not waste food, or money. Hope it works for you Good luck

Eat real food! This is a waste of money!

I did NS for a couple of months a few years ago; I lost a few pounds and found most of what I ordered to be, if not just edible, pretty good. But from a digestive standpoint? Holy carpoli... There's a reason people on the NS boards talk about the "Nutritoots." It got to be unbearable, so I quit.

Last year I tried Jenny Craig, and thought the food was far better. I'd still be on it if they hadn't kicked me out. LOL seriously, I went in to weigh one day and they fired me from the program. I had issues with the amount of soy in their food, and my consultant talked to their nutritionist...jist of it is that they didn't want to create a true food allergy in me, so they let me go, so to speak.

The Spouse Thingy still does JC and still likes it, even after 10 months. He also did NS and liked it, but prefers the JC food. He also prefers the accountability you get with JC, and having someone who can help him figure out where he's tripping up sometimes.

With either one, you learn better portion control, and if all you get out of it is being able to eat less and learning to be satisfied with that amount of food, it's worth it for a month or two, imnsho.

Please let me know if it helps you in terms of binge eating, I have the same problem.

Hi, I just stared Nutrisystem on 5/11 and so far I like it. I have lost 9 lbs in 9 days. not bad right.
So far I have no complaints.
