| odumland's Full Review: NutriSystem Weight Loss Program |
God, I miss fried potatoes... heck, any kind of REAL potatoes would be nice. As everyone states in these reviews, the NutriSystem program is indeed convenient. My husband suggested we try NutriSystem after repeatedly seeing the commercials. I wasn't interested in eating cardboard and styrofoam, but eventually agreed to the challenge. (Whatever you do, don't be fooled by the pretty food shown on TV... it doesn't look quite the same in real life.)
It has been 12 days and we both have lost 5-6 lbs. I am happy to say that, thus far, I have dropped from a size 14 to 12 in my jeans. This alone makes me willing to continue the program. People I see regularly who do not know I'm dieting have already noticed that I've lost weight... hence, another motivating factor.
In general, the food is boring. I pour a little A-1 Sauce on everything that has beef in an attempt to disguise the Dinty Moore taste. Most of the dinners are mushy and bland. The NutriPeptide bars are like eating wax candles... YUM!
The diet works with discipline, the fear of failing and the thought of wasting money. It is now clear to me that we used to eat way too much food (large portions, second helpings, big desserts, snacks, etc.). Going forward, I intend to eat less food and smaller portions.
In closing, when I see that commercial with the woman saying "WOW, look at me! I'm a Size 2!" I can't help but wonder if she really has eaten the food she advertises. Regardless, her excitement is contagious. Good luck and enjoy the yuck!
