    I had a friend who tried it, hated the food & offered the food to her dog, who sniffed it and walked away.

    Why not just eat food that you enjoy in a calorie deficit?

    It's..... not worth the money, honestly. It is well known for being the ultimate rip off system.

    Save your money and just use MFP. :)

    Nutra system is a company that weighs your food and counts calories so you don't have to do it. Nothing special. You can do the same with MFP app, eat food you actually like, and learn how to keep the weight off long term. Save your money for new clothes and use MFP instead :)

    What's the nutra system? I haven't heard of this..
    No doubt it's another 'quick fix', right?

    Why not just eat at a deficit, it's cheaper?

    I used it for a month. Over 300 dollars plus you had to buy vegetables about another 100 dollars. The food was dreadful, I couldn't give it away. It ended up in the trash.

    The food is nasty and overpriced.

    I want to hire someone who will pick the low calorie meals for me, im a very busy woman , don't have time to cook nor grocery shop, i always end up at fast food shops, so having a low calorie meal served to me and already cooked would be most helpful...

    Well, you can certainly try whatever you wish. Maybe you'd be a fan. But after reading this thread, don't say you weren't warned if you hate it and have lost the $.

    If you live in a large city there are private companies that do the same but with better quality food.

    MFP??

    My Fitness Pal.

    NutriSystem just puts women on a 1,200 calorie diet and men on a 1,500 calorie diet with their food.

    In my opinion, i'd rather just eat the stuff i like to eat and hit that calorie range. No reason for me to spend $$$$ for someone else to do everything for me. There are so many services that do this all over the world as well. Just my opinion.

    Just try it then , it seems it has the potential to be worth it for you. Not teaching you anuthing about food though and what will happen after you stop using them? What will stop you simply regaining the weight?

    Well, if i lose it, (and i will) , i certainly will not gain it back. Iv been a small person all of my life until i recently had a bundle of joy☺. now iv got about 15 pounds to lose before im back to my weight before the baby. Im losing weight now, but its not moving as fast as id like it to. Guess i just need to be patient. But you guys have giving me a lot to think about towards this nutra system and i now have a lot to consider about it

    OP...Have you tried just buying some frozen dinners? Lean Cuisine...Healthy Choice...etc...etc?

    I no longer eat them but when there are some that taste fairly good and would be a lot cheaper than NutriSystem...Jenny Craig...or some of the others.
