Unpacking Your Order

Your Nutrisystem Partner Plan order will include 2 weeks of Nutrisystem meals and snacks for 2 people. You both can order the same foods or each of you can select your own favorites.

Pro Tip: If you want to remember who ordered what, write down which foods each partner ordered as you customize your order. If the plan you chose includes frozen items, these will arrive in a separate shipment.

When you receive your order, team up with your partner to put your food away and get organized. Many partners find it helpful to write their initials on their own meals and snacks. You can also store them on separate shelves in the pantry and freezer for grab-and-go ease.

Getting Started

When you’re ready to get started with your plan, be sure to read the Starter Guide included in your order. This provides an overview of the meal plan at a glance. Next, scan the QR codes throughout the Starter Guide with your smart phone to access the Nutrisystem Program Guide and Grocery Guide PDFs. Print or bookmark these guides for easy access.

The Nutrisystem Complete plan includes 7 in 7 for the first week on the program. To learn more about this first week, check out the 7 in 7 Guide!

Flex Freedom

Throughout the week, you and your partner can have fun and get creative in the kitchen! Flex meals are meals and snacks that you will prepare yourself by following the guidelines we provide you.

If your plan includes 7 in 7 for your first week, you’ll start adding in Flex meals in week 2, unless you chose a plan with 7 days of Nutrisystem food each week.

Cook a meal together using our easy recipes here on The Leaf Weight Loss Blog or dine out at your favorite restaurant using our Dining Out Guide. You can select when to prepare your Flex meals and they do not have to be all on the same day.

Since you and your partner live in the same household, consider planning your Flex meals together and teaming up on your grocery shopping list. Combining your lists and buying larger quantities of certain items could help you save money in the long run.

Plus, cooking together is a great bonding experience! What’s more is that these are great healthy habits that will not only support your success now but also once you reach your goal.

Exercise Buddy

Nutrisystem recommends at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day. You can split this up into three 10-minute increments to make exercise more manageable in your busy schedule.

Exercise is better together, so you and your partner should support and encourage each other during your workouts. Go on a walk, try out hiking or biking, look up some partner exercises online and be sure to check out the Fitness section here on The Leaf Weight Loss Blog for more ideas!

NOTE: Vigorous physical activity is not recommended during 7 in 7 week. Consult with your doctor before engaging in any kind of physical activity.

Why it Works

How do you decide what to eat at each mealtime? If you live with others, it often depends on what others will be eating. If those around you have healthy diets, you are more likely to eat better and lose excess weight, according to research, published in the peer-reviewed journal PLoS One.

Researchers explain, “adoption of exercise or diet modifications in one individual is likely to spread to others, creating a social environment characterized by mutual reinforcement of healthy behavior.” We all have good days and bad days—your accountability partner picks you up when you’re feeling tempted to overindulge, and you do the same when your partner needs encouragement to stay on track. This is why weight loss is better together!

*Scientific literature shows better results among small groups compared to those who tried losing weight alone.
