7 Reasons Losing Weight is Easier with Nutrisystem

If you’ve ever tried to lose weight on your own (who hasn’t?), you know that to be successful, you need a plan. Without one, you’ll have slip-ups one after another, which will take you right back to the eating pattern you started with.

Why create your own meal plan when a weight loss plan like Nutrisystem already has one that’s nutritious, easy to follow and delicious?

Here are seven reasons why you should consider a simple weight loss plan from Nutrisystem to help you reach your goals.

1. Balanced Nutrition

It’s not a secret—it’s science! Whether you want to lose a lot of weight or just get a little healthier, Nutrisystem plans are dietitian-designed to provide the right nutrition, right from the start. They’re powered by a high-protein, lower-glycemic approach designed to control hunger and help manage your blood sugar levels. That way, you get what it takes to feel satisfied while losing weight.

Our ready-made meals are perfectly portioned, easy to make and expertly balanced with high-quality ingredients you’ll love. Your meal plan will provide powerful nutrition from lean proteins, healthy fats, and smart carbs combined with dietary fiber and vegetables.

2. No Thinking Required

Let’s face it, in our crazy-busy world, we have to make hundreds of decisions a day, often at lightning speed. Wouldn’t it be nice to let someone else do it for you some of the time?

Nutrisystem is easy and takes the work out of weight loss. It’s like having your own personal chef and the food literally shows up at your door. All you have to do is heat them up, and some require even less work. We’re talking about grab-and-go breakfast bars and sweet protein shakes!

Plus, all of the meals are labeled by meal occasion, so the only real thinking you have to do is decide if you’re in the mood for pasta or pizza. This convenience gives you a real weight loss edge.

3. Perfect Portions

Portion size is a key—maybe the key—factor in successful weight loss plan. Very few of us are good at estimating either calories or portions, particularly if we think a food is “healthy.” In one study, participants consistently underestimated the calories in foods they identified as “healthy” and promoting weight loss.

Nutrisystem’s carefully portioned servings eliminate all that faulty guesswork. Over time, you’ll learn easy ways to determine portion sizes. While using measuring tools is the foolproof way, you may also improve your ability to eyeball portions on your own.

4. You Never Go It Alone

Nutrisystem is always here for you. We provide endless support to help you navigate life while you achieve your goals. With our comprehensive guides, The Leaf blog and FREE NuMi tracking app always at your fingertips, you can access the information you need whenever you need it.

Not only that, you have insider access to our Weight Loss Coaches who can help you make better choices, bust through a plateau, or just offer an encouraging word. Don’t underestimate the value of support. A 2014 review of studies looking at the effects of behavioral counseling on weight loss plans found that people who had counseling were more likely to lose weight than those who didn’t.

5. You Can Choose Your Foods

Numerous scientific studies have shown that one of the best ways to gain weight is to diet. A review of long-term diet studies found that although most people lose five to 10 percent of their weight on a diet, for most, the weight comes back—and then some. Over four to five years, a third to two-thirds gain back more than they lost.

No, you’re not doomed, particularly if you know why people fail: It’s because they restrict themselves too much. No white foods. No carbs. No breakfast. No ice cream, chocolate or pizza. Too many “nos.” Deprivation can lead to binges.

On Nutrisystem, you can lose weight eating your favorite foods—pizza, burgers, mac and cheese, pasta, chocolate—so you don’t feel deprived and boomerang back to your old ways. You can customize your menu so you’re only getting foods you enjoy. After all, the best weight loss plan is the one you’ll actually stick to, right?

Feeling lazy? Don’t sweat the selection! We can send you Chef’s Choice menu which is full of our most popular meals and snacks. You can always customize your next shipment if you choose!

6. You’re Always Accountable

One of the top characteristics of the participants in the National Weight Control Registry—a long-term medical study of people who’ve lost 30 pounds or more and kept it off for more than a year—is that they weigh themselves regularly. It helps them stay accountable, not to mention able to get rid of any creeping weight gain while it’s still small and manageable.

With Nutrisystem, you not only have access to Weight Loss Coaches but you also have NuMi, an app that makes it a cinch to track everything you eat and drink, as well as your weight loss and workouts. You also have Nutrisystem’s official weight loss blog, The Leaf, which provides thousands of weight loss tips and healthy recipes.

It’s not the “food police,” but it’s still a super easy way to stay on track. The benefit? One study found that accountability was critical to the weight loss success of the women they studied—women who’d lost a significant amount of weight on an 18-week meal plan and exercise program. In fact, those who didn’t have at least one other person to be accountable to were more likely to regain the weight they lost.

Additionally, people who tracked what they ate were twice as likely to lose weight than those who did not. That’s why the NuMi app is so helpful on your weight loss journey.

7. You Learn Lifelong Skills

One of the biggest benefits of the Nutrisystem plan is that as you lose weight, you gain knowledge and confidence. If you stay connected with our Weight Loss Coaches and expert advice on The Leaf blog, you’ll pick up scientifically vetted tips to make weight loss—and, even more important, weight maintenance—easier. You’ll have a handle on dining out, snacking and how to get back on track when needed. Creating your own Flex meals following our simple guidelines will help make meal prep and planning second nature when you eventually leave the prepackaged meals behind.

Portion control? Easy-peasy. You’ve been studying and practicing it for weeks and months. Best of all, when you reach your goal weight, you’ll have all the assurance that victory brings with it. You’ll know with complete confidence that you’ve got this whole healthy living thing down… for life!
