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.
In the beginning Nutrisystem was sold only to women. Nowadays, they have diet plans for men, women, and seniors. As a matter of fact they even have a plan for vegetarians and diabetics.
The Nutrisystem Diet uses the glycemic index to help people lose weight. The glycemic index is a numerical system based on the fact that certain foods effect blood sugar in different ways. Foods with a high glycemic index cause an insulin spike in the blood where insulin floods the blood stream. This causes hunger to return more quickly after this type of food is eaten. Low glycemic index foods provide more stable insulin production, are burned more slowly, and provide energy for a longer period of time during the day. Low glycemic foods do not spike insulin and generally are more satisfying.
The Nutrisystem Diet plan is a food delivery plan. Food is shipped to your home every month. The food is packaged in such a way that it does not require refrigeration. Each meal comes with easy to follow preparation instructions.
The meals are proportioned to provide low glycemic index foods and just the right kinds of nutrients. The good carbs in the dishes cause very rapid weight loss with very little effort. The weight, according to the plan, just melts away.
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.
While the Nutrisystem Diet is designed to work without exercise, adding an exercise routine will only improve your results. Even adding a short walk, swim, run, or weight lifting routine to your health plan will yield astounding results when combined with the Nutrisystem Diet.
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.
