Any insight on N.S?

Basic culinary skill and basic understanding of nutrition and making your own meals will save you a lot of money and take you a lot farther as you aren't dependant on something that can get pretty expensive. Programs like NutriSystem try and target those who- 1. Feel they don't have the TIME to make their own meals (which is ridiculous) 2. Don't really understand healthy cooking or basic nutrition 3. The naive who feel that diet program food is "better" than regular food. You aren't really paying for the quality of the food, their spaghetti isn't magic spaghetti that is superior to regular spaghetti...you're paying more for the convenience of having everything nutritionally portioned.

People have given me mixed reviews as to the taste and portion of the foods, but if you have the money then it isn't bad but I really recommend you focus on just making common sense nutrition decisions and making/learning to make you own meals. Remember- losing weight takes a little bit of knowledge and a whole lot of discipline.

I tried NurtriSystem in the past, before I actually followed my own diet which incorporated some of Weight Watchers idea.

Honestly I hated NutriSystem. To me the food was bland, not good at all, and very tasteless. Some of the meals that were suppose to be "pasta" were like cardboard. Plus the "steak" even on the commercial looks like a meat patty, not even a steak.

Jenny Craig from what my mom told me- is that the food is better b than NutriSystem. It offers a more extensive and variety of food than NutriSystem. (NutriSystem has these chocolate things for desserts while Jenny Craig offers you a small sized chocolate cake).

Jenny Craig does cost more but I think it's a "You get what you pay for" type of situation. If you want try NutriSystem, see if you like it, and then maybe try Jenny Craig.

I wish you the best of luck on your weight loss journey.

If you can afford it, it works very well.
I have tried it before but it just got to
expensive. The food is great too. A little
bland sometimes but it is diet food! I
really liked it. :)
