NutriSystem comes up with a welcome kit, which contains the exercise DVDs, personalized meal planner, behavior modification guide (the mind makeover) and complete online account access and community guide.
NutriSystem was not developed from thin air. The entire system is based on scientific research and studies. The following factors can explain the base of this diet plan:
Glycemic advantage
There are basically two types of carbohydrates. First are those which break down slowly and gradually and second are those that break down instantaneously and cause blood sugar levels to spike. These spiked blood sugar levels further stimulate the secretion of a body hormone called insulin, which initiates the making and storing of fat in the body. The quality of these carbohydrates is determined by the Glycemic index, which is acknowledged by the World Health Organization (WHO). The first carbohydrate, which breaks down gradually, is usually rated lower in the Glycemic index, whereas the second carbohydrate rates higher. A disadvantage of high glycemic foods is that they make you hungry quicker. Since the consumed food is digested very quickly, it’s likely that you will feel hungry again as soon as it is digested.
NutriSystem utilizes this concept in their meal plans. Their diet is rich in low fat and the good carbohydrates. So this way, you can lose quite a bit of fat efficiently and at the same time, you will not suppress your hunger.
Omegasol
Omegasol is a mixture of special kinds of soluble fibers and Omega-3 fatty acids that makes the heart healthy. So NutriSystem not only makes you healthy, look good and lose weight, it also strengthens your heart. Their diet lunch usually contains about 3 grams of Omegasol.
Control Portions
The best advantage of NutriSystem is their portion controls. We are not designed by the Almighty to calculate calories in our food. We just cannot do it naturally. This is the work of the experts and NutriSystem. The common man can easily err while calculating his daily calories, so they do it for you to eliminate that degree of error. They complete all the calculations and deliver delicious meals to your doorstep. You can be certain that your food contains the right proportion of fats, carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins as need by your body. Nothing less, and definitely nothing more.
Fresh foods
Freshness can never be replaced. With NutriSystem you add green vegetables, salads and fruits to your meals. This makes the program completely balanced.
NutriSystem is becoming very popular. You can find thousand of success stories with NutriSystem. The advantage to their program is that their process to lose weight is completely natural. No machines to work with and no artificial heating and melting of abdominal fats. It’s completely natural, easy, scientifically sound, and most importantly, it works.
NutriSystem has become a well-recognized and easy to use diet plan. Completely healthy and portion controlled foods are prepared for you and even delivered to your doorstep. They do everything except eat the food for you. Who knows, they may find a way of doing that in the future! As of now, believe me, dieting and losing weight cannot get easier. So if you are ready to change your lifestyle and eating habits a little bit, NutriSystem is ready to give you the perfect shape you have been longing for.

I started Nutrisystem on August 11th. A friend of mine lost over 40lbs in a year of following the program. Back in 2005-2006 I lost 80lbs following the South Beach program overtime I drifted from those habits and gain back 70 of that in the last few years. I decided I should get back on a program since what I was doing wasn’t working.
I need things to be simple and easy to prepare and Nutrisystem is great for people who like convience. Everything is prepackaged and properly portioned. You supplement the program with Fruits and Veggies since that wouldn’t be very good prepackaged. You can either order the “Favorites” package or pick your own. I tried the “Favorites” package and found things that I definately like and also found stuff I will never order again. Everyone has their own preferences but if you are used to frozen meals from Lean Cuisine, Health Choice, etc you should have no trouble finding something you enjoy in NS.
In the 18 days that I have been on the program I have dropped 18.7 lbs doing some extra exercise on the side which is recommended but not required for success.
For those of you wanting to get an extra discount I can provide you a referral code at it will entitle you to $30 off your first order. If you are new to Nutrisystem it should work just fine. If you are coming back to the program and have been inactive for more than 4 months it should also work for you too. Here’s all that you need to do:
Email shawn_jumbo@yahoo.com and put in the memo NS Referral and I will send you a code within 24 hours. This should work if you do it online or call in your first order.
I was amazed at the number of people complaining about this program I just don’t understand why it is pretty easy to follow and I don’t feel hungry at all!
