Some facts and opinions about the Nutrisystem program
Nutrisystem, for those who may have heard from television advertisements or other media, is a weight loss system based on pre-packaged meals along with a dietary plan that includes the consumption of Nutrisystem products.
The Nutrisystem company itself is a business that produces these weight loss products, and the Nutrisystem program entails the use of their products in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle and portion-controlled dieting. Pre-packaged, measured meal plans are available for those who subscribe to the Nutrisystem plan, and depending on age and sex, there are different Nutrisystem plans available depending on those factors (Basic, Silver, Diabetic and Vegetarian).
About Nutrisystem
Nutrisystem, Inc., is headquartered in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, where its mission and goal is to provide a weight loss program based on quality foods and a nutritionally-balanced meal plan. Nutrisystem offers individualized counseling, weight loss tips and weight loss tools, along with an online user community to help support customers’ weight loss efforts, their challenges, and other elements of their weight loss process. Nutrisystem stresses diet weight loss efforts should be undertaken in conjunction with some form of exercise.
What Does Nutrisystem Provide?
The Nutrisystem package offers more than one hundred ready-to-serve meals that can be selected as part of its daily plan (which also includes desserts). The variety of foods along with the easy preparation process and the reduced requirement to think about what foods need to be prepared assists in the success of the program, especially for those individuals who might be less qualified in the kitchen, but still wish to eat healthy meals, and lose weight at the same time. The Nutrisystem plan is definitely popular with those who do not like to cook, whether or not weight loss is a successful outcome of that living choice.
Multiple meals throughout the day reduces personal cravings, and again the readily prepared foods make selection dynamic and interesting, yet maintaining measure and control over intake, as per the Nutrisystem plan.
Nutrisystem Diet Plans
Nutrisystem offers a variety of meal plans customized for different age groups (over 60), sexes (male, female), and those with particular medical conditions or dietary requirements (diabetes, vegetarians). The variety in these meal plans makes the program more functional for different groups and different lifestyles.
Nutrisystem Meals:
With such a grand variety of pre-prepared meals, one must look more at the total system rather than individual recipes. The Nutrisystem plan is generated to produce a selection of “normal” healthy meals that an individual would eat in a normal healthy lifestyle, and the variety and selection keeps the program interesting for eaters who don’t wish to follow rigid diets that require the same foods day after day.
Succeeding with Nutrisystem
One of the keys to achieving success with the Nutrisystem plan is to establish a regular pattern of exercise, as diet alone is not sufficient to produce healthy change. While most weight loss systems agree that regular exercise along with healthy eating will produce the best results, Nutrisystem encourages a balance of eating their food products along with normal exercise routines.
Weight loss success is nearly as much mental as it is diet (and exercise), so along with a healthy physical routine, strong mental health will assist in achieving those weight loss goals, and Nutrisystem and other diet plans encourage healthy lifestyles to combine with their programs to produce positive results.
Nutrisystem Costs
It has been reported that the National Business Research Institute (NBRI) conducted a cost comparison of the first month on seven weight loss programs. NBRI found NutriSystem to be the lowest priced weight loss program, hundreds of dollars less than other weight loss programs. This study compared center-based programs, pre-packaged meal programs and self-managed programs. Based on data from the Official USDA Food Plans: “Cost of Food at Home at Four Levels, Liberal Food Plan, US average,” September 2008, the Nutrisystem program costs $55 less a month than many Americans’ food costs. To note, the cost of fresh grocery items were not included.
Forbes found that NutriSystem Inc. was the lowest priced of all of the popular and leading weight loss programs (as reported 2 years in a row), as found in their 1-2-08 and 12-23-08, “How Expensive Is Your Diet?” story. Both articles compared the first week costs of 7 popular weight loss programs and stated that, “At $74 for women and $82 for men, Nutrisystem was the cheapest option…” Several of the other programs were hundreds of dollars more expensive
Nutrisystem Price Comparisons
As stated above, in the United States, Canada, and now Japan, one will find that Nutrisystem is competively priced and one of the most affordable weight loss programs. Nutrisystem is able to achieve this because they are probably the largest of these companies, and because they produce and package their own meals and weight loss products . Some sources comparing Nutrisytem to programs such as Jenny Craig and WeightWatchers have shown that the Nutrisystem program is relatively cheaper and still fulfilling than others.
CONCLUSION
The Nutrisystem program succeeds because of strong marketing, a large variety of pre-selected foods, affordability, and a reasonable and logical approach to weight loss. Again, with the advice of normal, regular exercise, this portion-controlled weight loss program is a positive way for people to lose weight affordably, safely, and without radically changing the way people eat.
