Nutrisystem has helped millions of people lose weight for more than 45 years. Scientifically backed by clinical studies, Nutrisystem’s is one of the most effective and safest diet programs in the world today.
The Nutrisystem diet is a delivered-to-your-door meal plan that includes well-designed and delicious shakes, protein bars, and pre-portioned meals for you to enjoy and lose weight on. In addition, Nutrisystem offers you the flexibility to include home-cooked meals based on their recommended guidelines.
In spite of its reputation, a lot of people still have their doubts that: (1) the diet is just an ineffective fad diet; (2) the food is not as good as they are claimed to be; and (3) the program is not easy to adhere to.
Well, we decided to see for ourselves and decided to give Nutrisystem a try and this is what we learned.
No Calorie Counting. One of the most annoying tasks of losing weight is when dieters need to count calories. It’s one of those must-do things but dieters really hate it. Personally, I hate it too. First of all, it’s time consuming. Secondly, it can be quite challenging as dieters need to study guidelines and use calculators to make this work.
When it comes to calorie-counting, Nutrisystem has simplified things for people who want to lose weight. You do not have to do any calorie counting. They have done the hard work for you.
Their meals have been designed by specially-trained nutritionists to make sure that you get the right balance of calories and nutrients in your pre-portioned meals. This to us, was a definite plus.

Easy To Stick With Program That Offers Flexibility. When it comes to the whole diet regimen, Nutrisystem has also simplified the whole program to help minimize all the planning and thinking that dieters usually have to do.
Although the program requires you to stick to a regimen of eating the whole day, they offer you a lot of variety and flexibility so that you can enjoy the whole experience and not feel that the experience is such a chore.
Nutrisystem will send you a monthly shipment of food that includes three meals and two snacks per day. There is no need to worry regarding meal preparation as all the meals are easy to prepare. Again, there is no need to do any calorie-counting or point-tracking.
Do You See Yourself Losing … Nutrisystem’s team designed and crafted these meals to be healthier versions of your favorite foods … and you thought you won’t be able to eat some of your favorite comfort foods, right?
To our surprise, their pizzas (and they have a lot of choices) were really good. The roasted turkey medallions blew our minds. The broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken breasts were simply delicious. They also have pastas, mac and cheese, meatballs, and various other customer favorites to choose from.
In fact, Nutrisystem’s FreshStart plan includes more than 160 tasty meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack time. Just a lot of variety.
These meals provide perfectly balanced nutrition that allows you to lose weight of up to 13 pounds and 7 inches overall on your first month.
These meals have:
- No artificial flavors or sweeteners
- No colors from artificial sources
- No high fructose corn syrup
- No transfat or partially hydrogenated oils
The meals kept us feeling full and allowed us to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.

Exercise Not Required. Does Nutrisystem require us to exercise to lose weight like most diet program? Not necessarily. I know a lot of people do not have time to go to the gym nor enjoy doing exercise at all.
With Nutrisystem, you can lose weight even without exercising. The program recommends that you do some light exercise sessions after the first week to help with the weight loss. However, have no fear as you don’t have to spend hours and hours sweating your butt in the gym to achieve your weight loss goals with Nutrisystem.
They do encourage people to incorporate exercise in their lives as studies have shown that exercise is good for us anyway.
Bottomline: Nutrisystem definitely exceeded our expectations. It simply works. I lost 7 pounds within the two weeks that I was on the program. I’m happy. 🙂
We definitely highly recommend this program to people who are in need of losing weight and want to get their health back safely while enjoying the whole weight loss journey.
