DAY 1

Breakfast: Lemon Poppyseed Muffins – Nutrisystem Food
+ Coffee
+ String Cheese
+ Orange

These muffins look awfully small. They taste really dry almost like wheat. Not a very happy start. Fortunately they kept me full for a good 3 hours.

Lunch: Red Beans and Rice with Sausage – Nutrisystem Food
+ Salad
+ 2 slices of turkey

Very small portion. When heated in the microwave looks awfully dry. They tasted ok. A little spicy and the sausage wasn’t so bad.

Afternoon Snack: + Hard boiled egg
+ Banana

Dinner: Flatbread Pizza – Nutrisystem Food
+ Broccoli & Cauliflower
+ 2 slices of turkey
+ Orange

Worst deception so far. The so called “pizza” its nothing but a flat piece of bread the size and shape of a pop tart. The tomato sauce and the parmesan cheese comes in a little bag that you are supposed to spread on top of the bread. PLEASE don’t heat this up in the microwave. The dough will become very chewy and taste like cardboard. I had better lucky heating it up in the oven.

Snack/Dessert: Golden Pound Cake – Nutrisystem Food
Cheese Puffs - Nutrisystem Food

The pound cake is very dense but tasted ok. The cheese puffs are the best! As good as cheetos and in a pretty good serving size.

TOTAL CALORIES: 1346.2

END OF DAY: Not so happy with my meal choices but at least I did not feel overly hungry. The snacks were definitely the highest point of the day.

INTRODUCTIONS

Hello everyone! I’ve decided to create this blog to share my experience with the weight loss program NUTRISYSTEM. If you are in doubt and don’t know if this is the right program for you this blog might be helpful.

I’ve purchase a 14-day package under the weekly order, mainly because I did not want to risk my money on a 30-day supply that I wasn’t sure if I was going to like. To set the record straight I’m not an overweight person but wished to lose 10 lbs I’ve gained over the winter.

I placed my order on the weekend and got it in my house in 3 business days. Pretty good for standard shipping! I ordered the Woman’s Basic Plan, part of their new “advanced program”. I was really surprised to see that NOTHING in the advanced plan requires refrigeration. I began quite concerned about eating boxed food, preserved by chemicals, for 2 weeks. But anyways, I was still excited to start my program!

When you order Nutrisystem you received every main dish of each meal plus one snack/dessert a day. You are supposed to complement your diet with 2 servings of vegetables, 1 salad, 2 fruits, 1 serving of fat and 2 dairy or protein servings a day. They also have a good online tool to help you keep track of your food & water intakes, weight, body measurements and exercise. All the food in the Woman’s Plan should add up to 1.200 calories a day.
