Nutrisystem is a customized meal delivery service that helps users achieve their target weight goals by controlling what and how much they eat. It offers various programs catering to the needs of different types of customers such as men, women, diabetics, and vegetarians.

How does Nutrisystem Diet work?

To start Nutrisystem, you need to sign up for a specific program, select your meals and snacks from a menu, and wait for your meals and snacks to arrive. Then, if you’re on the Uniquely Yours program, for instance:

• The first week of your program is specially designed to jumpstart your weight loss. During this week, you'll have seven days of Nutrisystem breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, seven between-meal snacks aimed at curbing cravings and keeping you feeling full, and seven shakes packed with protein to help control hunger.

• After you complete your first week on the program, you’ll get to create Flex Meals. That includes creating two healthy breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks each week so you can practice healthy cooking to help prepare you for life after being on the Nutrisystem program. In addition to Flex Meals, the company says customers can enjoy Nutrisystem breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks of their choice, like a red velvet cupcake, at regular intervals, or five to six times per day.

Types of plans:

Nutrisystem for men offers three types of plans:

Basic: The most affordable option, this does not include a complete set of pre-made meals, so a person needs to make some meals and snacks.

Uniquely Yours: This has slightly more variety and includes frozen and non-frozen meals for 5 days a week.

Uniquely Yours Ultimate: This has the most variety and includes frozen and non-frozen meals for 7 days a week.

Regardless of the plan, however, a person does need to buy some fresh ingredients.

Combination plans are also available to suit more than one person in a household. And for an added cost, a person can add meals for the weekend.

There are also some personalized nutrition plans:

Vegetarian: This contains no meat products, but it is not suitable for vegans.

Men’s: This includes meals that the company says are more suited for male bodies, such as high protein options.

Partner plan: This is designed for two people.

Nutrition D: This contains foods that do not raise blood sugar levels rapidly and are suitable, the company says, for people with type 2 diabetes.

Why should everyone try Nutrisystem?

Nutrisystem is not just for those who are overweight. It’s suitable for those who want to eat in moderation, maintain their weight, or do not have the desire to cook and meal plan. More reasons include,

Restricted caloric meals – The calories in all Nutrisystem meals fit into any standard weight loss plan, bringing faster results.

Smart eating – Instead of starvation diet plans, Nutrisystem focuses on smart eating.

Controlled salt intake – Salt plays a major part in weight loss and weight gain. Nutrisystem meals contain only the standard salt dosage. By reducing salt intake, the risk of hypertension and other related diseases is reduced and weight loss is risk-averse.
