Nutrisystem Meals

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!
