Has Anyone Ever Tried Nutrisystem?

I have not, but my husband has been on it for about a month and a half. He has lost 12 lbs so far. He claims the food is pretty good. The idea of the plan is really to teach portion control, which most of us need these days in America. It also teaches you how to eat a balanced diet. Nutrisystem provides the entrees and some snacks, but you still have to buy your own fruits and veggies. The plan will tell you what you can eat for each meal and snack and how much. I may try the plan myself once I am no longer nursing my son. Good luck!

I am just finishing up the 28 day start up. I think it is a good way to start a diet. It has helped me to be more aware of my portions and I guess I just need rules. If there is a set structure (and I've paid for it) I will follow it. I wanted to lose 10 pound before a trip and I'm down 8. I won't renew with Nurtrisystem, but I feel well equipped to finish the job on my own. As for the food...well...for the most part it is unoffensive. It's hard not to eat the most attractive items first leaving the dregs for the end. There were a couple of chocolate bars included that were great! I would use Nutrisystem again in the future for a good jump start. Hope that helps.

The problem with it, is you are going to go right back to what you eat now and the weight will come back. I have done all of the diets in the past, from special foods to pills. No matter what the same result, I lose and then gained it all back plus some. I have now decided to make some healthy life choices and I cleanse so that I can still eat the foods I like, but not gain the weight back. I feel better than I have in years.

I haven't tried Nutrisystem. But I'm 10 lbs down in 5 weeks with jenny craig. The food isn't bad. I was going to try Nutrisystem but I've heard about the sodium levels being high, because of they way the food is stored. So if you have high blood pressure, Nutrisystem wouldn't be a good idea. I have about 24 lbs to go.
