NutriSystem DietWhat is The NutriSystem Diet?It is a "send you the food" diet plan operated by Nutri-System, Inc. of Horsham, Pennsylvania. The Diet is based on the Glycemic Index of Carbohydrates which is supposed to reduce hunger due to maintaining a constant blood glucose level.The company started out with multiple weight loss centers.In 1999, they became an internet only business, shipping meals direct to customers. It is easy to follow the diet as NutriSystem works by giving a person all the food they need in a simple menu. The food is pre-packaged, shipped and can be stored in the open air. The customer just has to open the sealed foods and prepare them accordingly.
You can email, call or chat online with the weight loss counselors for advice or support. The average customer stays on the program for 10 weeks. Many achieve the weight lost.
Also, their web site offers an online user-based community that includes chat rooms, discussion boards and personal web pages where users can connect with each other; users can track their daily diet and exercise and weight loss progress and to modify and place orders.
This diet is useful for short term weight loss as most packaged weight loss programs. As many people would not continue buying food like this for the rest of their life. However, taking into account that a growing portion size is a significant contributor to obesity, the diet can be very helpful for some people. Typical Food in The Diet
Breakfasts
Desserts and snacks
CriticismsThe program is based on providing prepackaged process meals which are typically high in sodium - to preserve shelf life, taste and texture of many foods, manufacturers use salt or other sodium containing compounds. Many customers are saying that the food is salty. There have also been stories of some foods being substituted when particular item is out of stock. While prepackaged meals is a convenience for some, there are better and healthier alternatives to weight loss.See AlsoNew Treatment For Diabetes TypesCure From Diabetes, Infantile Paralysis, and Impotence -Narration of a Cured Patient!
