NutriSystem
Diet
This diet has been all over
the television. There is even one spokeswoman who says that
she has lost weight twice with the program. People have lost
as few as thirty-five pounds and as much as 125 pounds with
the program.
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.
This is a meal delivery
plan. Food provided by NutriSystem is shipped to your home
every four weeks. The process used to package the foods means
that they do not need to be refrigerated. Easy to follow
instructions tell you how to prepare each dish.
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.
The plan does encourage
participants to add low fat milk and dairy, salads, and fruits
to each NutriSystem meal. The main concern is the
carbohydrates that we eat. Protein is protein, but
carbohydrates aren't all the same which is evidenced by the
numbers reached through the glycemic index. Processed
carbohydrates raise blood sugar, while those that are made of
whole grains stabilize it.
The plan doesn't shun
exercise but it is designed to work without it. Exercise can
only enhance this program since they are already giving you
foods that are optimal for you. Whether weight loss will
increase with activity is unknown.
The meal delivery program is
expensive, but you may qualify for a payment plan. If you can
afford to spend a few hundred dollars on yourself and then the
same amount on the rest of your family each month, this may be
the plan for you. NutriSystem requires no counting, recording
of meals, or anything else like that. You just choose your
meal, add some healthy extras, and
eat
