New to Nutrisystem? Here’s a Guide to Getting Started
A healthy body fuels a healthy mind. And what does my body use as fuel (other than caffeine, of course!) – Food! Diet culture had me thinking I had to starve to lose weight, and what little I was allowed to eat was seasoned with barely-there pinches of salt and pepper. That sounded miserable and, fortunately, it could not be further from the truth.
I’ve discovered that it’s completely possible to lose weight while eating food that actually tastes good and helps keep you feeling full. That satiated feeling is a must for me because I’m definitely the type that gets hangry! The key is following a plan that’s tailored to my needs, and that’s where Nutrisystem comes in.
Kickstart Your Weight Loss with the “7 in 7” Plan
So, my first week on Nutrisystem? It was all about getting a quick win with their “7 pounds in 7 days” promise.* And let me tell you, it’s quite the boost to see those numbers on the scale drop so quickly! What really blew my mind was how these meals, shakes, and bars kept my hunger at bay – we’re talking 9 hours of hunger control throughout the day!*
Each day, I’d start with one of their belly fat burning shakes or bars, and I was honestly surprised at how full I felt. And it wasn’t just a fleeting thing; it lasted through most of my day. Usually, I’d be eyeing the kitchen by midday, but not this time.
And the results? Well, they speak for themselves. Not only did I hit that 7-pound goal, but I also felt this new kind of energy. No more mid-day crashes or raids on the pantry. It’s been a real eye-opener about how eating right isn’t about starving yourself – it’s about the right kind of fuel.
Delicious Meals Delivered, Including Surprises Like Pizza!
Nutrisystem isn’t just another diet program; it’s a tailored experience. After taking a quick quiz, I was matched with the Uniquely Yours Max+ Plan, likely because I stressed the importance of feeling full. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re male, female, over 55, or part of a couple.
Once you’ve selected your plan, meal delivery is a breeze. Choose your meals or opt for the Chef’s Choice for a delightful culinary surprise. I still can’t believe I got to enjoy dishes like Artichoke and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast and a savory Onion, Mushroom, and Turkey Sausage Pizza – foods you wouldn’t expect in a typical meal plan.
They were both delicious and they kept me feeling more satiated for hours. Everything is delivered already cooked so all I had to do was heat it up and enjoy.
NuMi App: Your Pocket Dietitian
A lot of meal plan brands will send you the food and then just leave you to your own devices, but not Nutrisystem. They’ve got this NuMi app and it’s like having a mini dietitian right in my pocket.
I can log everything I eat, keep an eye on my water intake, and the best part? This app is smart. It keeps up with how I’m doing and tweaks things to make sure I don’t hit a plateau. It’s like having a personal coach who’s always one step ahead, making sure I stay on track.
And if I’m ever unsure about what to eat or when, the app has got my back. It gives me specific suggestions, which is perfect for those days when I’m too busy or just too indecisive. It’s made the whole process a lot smoother and way more efficient. No more guessing games for me!
