Food Programs

Hi, just wondering if anyone recommends a food program such as Nutrisystem or other pre-packaged meal plan. Cost isn't necessarily a factor, but I want something that works. I'm away at college but I want to start using something during the summer when I'm not on a mealplan at school. At school I have access to a full salad bar and all that so I know I can try to start utilizing that, but once I come home I gorge on all of the bad foods. Honestly, my grandmother wants to buy me this program because she thinks I need to lose weight. But I'm not going to make her buy Nutrisystem if there is something better. Thanks in advance, Bri.

    Don't buy any of that stuff. Just find your daily maintenance calories and and eat around 80-95% of those calories to lose weight, depending on how fast you want to drop the weight. Just make sure you get enough protein and fats, then fill the rest with carbs.

    Awesome! Thank you so much! Pretty sad my gradmom is telling me I need it. Since I'm on the food plan at school she wanted to wait until summer to buy it for me. Lets see what happens until then. Haha. Thanks again!
