Welcome back where in this post I want to take a look at the value of the Nutrisystem meals themselves. Now any diet is only as good as the food that goes into it, so how good is the food that comprises the Nutrisystem diet? Let's take a closer look and see what we can find.
Well, according to the blurb, the Nutrisystem diet meals are meant to be low calorie, low GI, that glycemic index if you didn't know like you've been living under a rock for the last couple years, highly nutritious and balanced such as the ratio between carbs, proteins and fats. Well, that's what you need if you're going to lose weight and do it while keeping up a healthy body. Ok, lets take a random look at one of their daily menus to see what we have.
Breakfast comes to you in the form of rich, dense and filled with chips of semi-sweet chocolate that you can add some light yogurt to if you want to make a nice, light breakfast. Now that might not sound like an alternative to the massive plate of fried eggs and bacon with hash browns and pancakes that you;re used to , but remember you are trying to lose weight, so you got to get used to eating less, right?
Lunch is a beef vegetable soup which is a combination of beef and veggies that are said to be bursting with flavor and to which you may add a green salad.
Dinner is macaroni cheese comprising tender macaroni noodles swimming in a creamy cheddar sauce to which you may add some cooked broccoli. Sounds ok so far!
Dessert is a portion of crunchy, crisp and slightly salty pretzels, which they label as a great craving buster!
Your snack for the day, to have whenever you feel like you need it is light yogurt with fresh blueberries.
Now that's a day's menu that we have taken at random from the Nutrisystem meals they provide. If you check out the website, it comes with images and they actually look pretty nice! So that is what you can look forward to on at least one day and the rest of the diet food delivery meals are different and similarly appetizing.
What they most certainly are not... is big and overly filling, so you have to be prepared for that. Hey, you're on a freakin' diet remember? Sheesh, of course its gonna be less than what you're used to. That's how you lose weight, of course!

Are Nutrisystem Reviews Really Honest?
Welcome back, where I want to look at Nutrisystem reviews and how effective or even truthful they really are. That's because I hear of plenty people who are always asking, "Are Nutrisystem reviews really honest?" That's a pretty interesting question that gets you thinking on several aspects of the program and to whether it is as good as everyone says it is or if there are underlying factors that might be contrary to the popular belief.
Well, in one sense, the many reviews that are published on a multitude of websites out there in cyber space are generally no more than mere sales pitches designed to get visitors to click their links to buy the product without really giving any use value in the form of information. After all, a real review ought to provide the visitor with at least the rudiments of whether a product is good or bad and the reasons why they believe so.
People read product reviews because they want to research information about the product they are interested in buying or a service they are interested in signing up for. If the review is honest and unbiased, providing all the pros and cons of the product or service in an easy to read and understand manner, then they have done their job and the reader feels they have a better understanding of what they may be going into and can make an informed decision based on what they'd learned from the review.
But if all they get is a sales pitch expounding the virtues of the product or service without providing any background or information about any downside it may have, then the reader comes away feeling cheated and let down. Even worse if they fell for the sales pitch and headed straight for the product website, in this case the Nutrisystem diet program, and bought the product. Then they later found that it was not right for them as the review didn't inform them of its weaknesses and where it may not work for certain people.
So my beef here is most of the Nutrisystem reviews out there that are cheating their readers into signing up for the diet food delivery service without first being made aware that it does have its weaknesses for certain people and that it is not a cure all weight loss solution for everyone. There are a few that are honest and unbiased and those are in the minority, although you can read one of the better ones here: weightlossgo.com/lose-weight/nutrisystem-reviews, although you'll still see some ads for the diet program at least you'll get enough balanced information to make an informed decision for yourself.
