NutriSystem Review: Does It Work?

Everybody is coming out with diet plans and weight loss information and then there are those that even have meal plans thrown in there for good measure.  One system that needs to be mentioned and discussed is NutriSystem.    Although NutriSystem has been around for many years, they are still one of the most popular diet/meal plans that are available today.  One unique aspect of their weight loss plan is that they promise results in as little as 28 days.

The big question that needs to be answered about whether or not you can lose weight on this plan can only be answered if a person were to be able to lose weight and then be able to keep that weight off for the long haul of life.  Sure there are celebrities that promote this plan and swear on national TV that it works but then nobody ever said those same celebrities were just not being paid to push that product.

If one were to look into the details of the NutriSystem plan it would be quickly noticed that it is broken down into 28 day meal plans and you pick the one that suits you the best.  There is the Woman’s Plan, the Men’s Plan, and the Silver for Woman Plan, the Silver for Men Plan, Type II Diabetic Plan and also the Vegetarian plan.  Whatever plan you decide to use you simply have the entire 28 days mailed to your home and there will be a meal planner included that you just follow along with on a daily basis.  You can always still add in some fresh favorites like fruits or vegetables but the main goal of the plan is to limit your intake of “bad” carbs while supplying you with “good” carbs.

Whether this system would work for you really depends on not only your personality, but also your lifestyle.  As with all diets or meal plans the end result will be a direct correlation that needs to tap directly into your motivation level.  The more motivated you are the better the plan will work.  The longer that motivation to lose weight is sustained, the longer you will be able to shed those unwanted pounds.

There are calorie plans that are built right into the program and through the use of the prepackaged meals; a person will be able to keep their calories under control on a daily basis.  The calorie plans include 1000, 1200 and also 1500 calories which helps those with a busy schedule save time by not needing to prepare portions.  Many people have been able to lose weight using the NutriSystem but the real question is if that weight will be able to be kept off for the rest of forever.

We all see Marie Osmond and her thin and smiling face on the ads proclaiming all the weight she lost but can we really believe that to be true?  First off it can be easily stated that she has alot more money than you do, yet she is not paying for her meals because she is getting paid to eat them.  Also, it can be surmised that she also has a personal trainer that runs her through her paces on a daily basis. Do you have a personal trainer?   I for one would not buy the product because some familiar face that does not even know I exist says that it works.

We do know real, everyday people that did use the product and one were named Bill L.  He too was able to lose weight and had really good results that lasted for almost the entire 56 days he was on the plan.  He ran into trouble as he grew tired of those little prepackaged portions and tended to get hungry often.  Once he ended the shipments he just gained all of the weight back again.

In conclusion, the NutriSystem is like all other diets and meal plans by the fact that it does work and yet it does not work.  It works in the fact that you will lose weight.  It does not work in the fact that the day will arrive when you want to live a normal life again and on that day you will grow bored with nothing but NutriSystem to eat.  When you leave the NutriSystem meal plan you will then gain back all of the weight that you were able to lose.

So if we had to render a final opinion we would have to say that if you were on a meal plan that you were not able to live on forever then it really does not work.  If you were in need of losing weight for a wedding or a vacation and only had three months to make it happen, then NutriSystem may be for you.
