Overview

The NutriSystem diet plan gives you a simple approach to losing weight. It features more than 100 great-tasting prepackaged NutriSystem® Advanced™ meals and desserts that you purchase online and arrive at your doorstep, ready to go. In fact, all of the foods are either ready to eat immediately, or can be prepared in just a couple of minutes in the microwave or by adding hot water.

Meals are designed to include low-glycemic index carbohydrates and the right amounts of protein and fiber, yet still low in fat. Each one of them fits into the low-glycemic meal plan that’s very easy to follow. You just grab an entrée, add-in a few grocery items (like fresh fruits, vegetables and salads), and you’re ready to go. You eat five times a day, with meals and snacks about every 2-3 hours. And since all of the meals already provide the correct portion of food, there is no weighing, measuring or counting calories, points or carbs.

Pros

• Quick and simple meals are great for a busy schedule
• Portions and nutrition are perfectly balanced

Cons

• Prepackaged meals can feel restrictive

Conclusion

There is a reason NutriSystem has been around for so long. By taking the guess-work out, this program has helped thousands reach their weight loss goals through simple delivered meal plans.
