This program is everywhere. One t.v. spokeswoman says that she used the program twice to lose weight. People have lost as few as 35 pounds and as much as 125 pounds using the system.
NutriSystem had humble beginnings targeting only women. Presently they provide plans focused exclusively men, senior citizens, vegans, vegetarians, and people with Type II Diabetes.
The diet is based on the glycemic index. The glycemic index is a number that correlates with the effect foods have on blood sugar. For example, foods with a high glycemic index cause the body to secrete more insulin. This in turn causes hunger more quickly after these particular foods are consumed. Those foods with a lower glycemic index provide a more stable blood sugar. Resulting in more energy all day long. Insulin levels do not spike so people find themselves less hungry and more satisfied with their meals.
Nutrisystem is a food delivery program. They ship food to your home every four weeks. The food does require refrigeration because of the process used to package the foods. Each dish has easy to follow preparation instructions.
The food is proportioned to provide nutritious, low glycemic index foods. These are called “good carbs” and they cause fast fat loss without much work. According to the Nutrisystem, the weight and fat will just melt away.
The Nutrisystem plan urges participants to add fruits, salads, low fat milk and dairy to each meal. The primary focus of the diet is to change the carbohydrates that we eat. Protein is protein, but carbs are not. In fact, as discussed above, this 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 Nutrisystem Plan does not forbid 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.
But if you don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars per month, per person and all you need is a quick, much cheaper alternative. You should try a safe, healthy cleanse. I’ve put together a plethora of information about this attractive option on my website. Please follow my links below and learn more about it.
