Nutrisystem is a dieting company whose goal is to help people lose weight.

Nutrisystem works by delivering prepared meal plans to dieters to control their calorie and dietary consumption.  Nutrisystem chooses what you eat, how much you eat and how many times a day you eat.

Nutrisystem proposes many different diet programs specially catered to each clients’ needs. There is a Nutrisystem diet for every kind of person, no matter what their dieting goal may be. There are gender-specific tracks for adults, seniors, diabetics and even vegetarians.

This program is very practical, especially for those who don’t have time to cook. Each day, you eat a Nutrisystem breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, which are all shipped to your door. You also need to shop for the mandatory fruits, veggies, protein and dairy products of your liking to supplement Nutrisystem’s packaged meals.

Nutrisystem is built around the glycemic index, a measure of how various carbs affect your blood sugar. The program is high in protein and emphasizes “good” carbs, such as many veggies and whole grains that are digested slowly. That keeps you feeling full longer and your blood sugar and metabolism from going out of whack.

While on the Nutrisystem plan, it is important you eat only what Nutrisystem sends you. It’s also recommended that you exercise three times a day for at least 10 minutes each time.

After your diet, there is a transition period, where Nutrisystem teaches you how to create your own program in order to maintain a healthy weight.

Subscribing to the Nutrisystem program will cost between USD$ 250 – 400 per month. The program is only available to residents of the United States.
