Nutrisystem Diet, Does It Work? And Other Weight Loss Tips!
This diet is ubiquitous, we’ve seen it everywhere on the television. One spokeswoman swears she’s lost weight more than once with the program. Some individuals have lost as few as 35 lbs and as much as 125 lbs with the system.
NutriSystem started off with most of its clients being women. Now, they offer a men’s plan and a senior adult plan for both men and women. Their website also states that they have plans for vegetarian dieters and those suffering from Type II diabetes.
The NutriSystem diet is based on the glycemic index. This number is based on the affect different foods have on the blood sugar. Foods with a high glycemic index cause more insulin to be secreted therefore causing hunger to return quicker when these particular foods are consumed. Foods with a lower glycemic index lead to a more stable blood sugar and energy throughout the day. There are no spikes in insulin levels so you are less hungry and more satisfied with your meals.
Every four weeks Nutrisystem delivers food to your home. The food can be easily prepared by following the handy included instructions. And best of all, no refrigeration is required because of the process used to package the foods.
The food is proportioned to provide nutrients and low glycemic index foods. These “good carbs” cause rapid weight loss with very little effort. According to the commercials, those who use the plan say that the weight literally melted off of them.
Nutrisystem does encourage participants to add low fat dairy, milk and salads, and fruits to each meal. The primary worry is the carbs that most people eat. Protein is protein, but carbohydrates are not the same. This is demonstrated by the varying glycemic index is assigned to different foods. Whole grains stabilize blood sugar but processed carbohydrates raise it.
The plan does not exclude exercise but it is designed to work without it. Exercise may improve the results of the program since they are already giving you foods that are optimal for you. Whether weight loss will increase with activity is unknown.
Having meals delivered is expensive, but you may qualify for a payment plan. If you choose this option you’ll be spending a few hundred dollars a month for this program and the same for each additional family member on the program. If you want to spend that type of dough this program might be for you. The upside, NutriSystem does not require recording of meals and counting calories. You choose a meal, add healthy extras, and chow down.
But if you don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars per month, per person and all you need is a quick, much cheaper alternative. You should try a safe, healthy cleanse. I’ve put together a plethora of information about this attractive option on my website. Please follow my links below and learn more about it.
