Nutrisystem Reviews (2023) - Does This Weight Loss Program Work? Check Updated Meals & Price

Nutrisystem was one of the first companies to provide prepackaged diet meals. Nutrisystem's frozen and nonperishable meals, snacks, drinks, and desserts continue to help individuals lose weight today.

I joined Nutrisystem in order to test its goods, applications, and resources. Here's what I discovered.

What is Nutrisystem?

Nutrisystem is a popular weight loss diet for adults with demanding schedules. The program's flash-frozen and nonperishable meals just take a few minutes to make in the microwave. Clients can later in the program add their own home-cooked meals and healthful side dishes.

Lean protein, healthy fats, low-fat dairy products, nonstarchy vegetables, some fruits, and whole-wheat carbs are all permitted on the Nutrisystem diet. Sugary desserts, high-calorie meals, deep-fried foods, butter, starchy vegetables like potatoes, and sugary drinks are not encouraged.

According to Nutrisystem, women can lose up to 13 pounds, 7 inches total, and 1 to 2 pounds every week after that. Men can drop up to 15 pounds and 7 inches overall, and then lose 1 to 2 pounds every week on average.

How does Nutrisystem work?

Nutrisystem delivers prepackaged meals with daily recommended portions of fats, carbs, fiber and protein. The program includes eating the foods they provide and also making your own foods in the hope that you switch off of Nutrisystem after hitting your goal weight. Each meal is designed to keep you feeling full.

During Week 1 you will:

Drink 8 cups of water a day (this includes black coffee, unsweetened tea and seltzers)
Consume at least four servings of nonstarchy vegetables daily during meals or as snacks
Eat three daily prepackaged meals and two daily prepackaged snacks (one of which is a shake)
During Week 2 and beyond you will:

Continue with goals of Week 1

Have unlimited access to foods under 10 calories (pepper, salsa, hot sauce)
Enjoy up to three "extra" foods a day that contain 11 to 35 calories (popcorn, ketchup)
Eat three daily meals and three daily snacks
Have the option of eating a prepackaged Nutrisystem entree and a side of a vegetable or a lean protein or a healthy portion-controlled "Flex" meal from home

Nutrisystem meal plans

Before choosing a meal plan that works best with your palate and wallet, you will need to choose one of six categories to best represents you: Women's (for women), Men's (for men), Partner (for couples), Complete55 (for women 55 and older), Diabetes (for diabetics) and Vegetarian (for vegetarians). However, you can't choose more than one category. For example, if you and your partner are vegetarian, you will have to either choose the vegetarian option separately or the partner plan together.

Under each category, there are three meal plans to choose from:

Basic:

●   Fully prepared food for five days a week
●   Access to the NuMi app
●   Access to coaching
●   More than 100 menu choices
●   Essential nonperishable meals and snacks
●   Shipments every four weeks with free shipping

Uniquely Yours:

●   Fully prepared food for five days a week
●   Access to the NuMi app
●   Access to coaching
●   More than 150 menu choices
●   Frozen meals and snacks, including a standard variety of meals inspired by restaurant favorites
●   Essential nonperishable meals and snacks
●   Shipments every four weeks with free shipping

Uniquely Yours Max plus:

●   Access to the NuMi app

Coaching

You have three options when it comes to contacting Nutrisystem coaches:

Chat: a live chat box available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET, and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET

Email: get answers via email within 24 hours

Phone: talk one-on-one to a coach available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET, and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET

Unlike other popular weight loss programs like WW, Nutrisystem doesn't pair you with a personal coach.

NuMi: Nutrisystem's app

NuMi has mixed reviews on both the App Store and Google Play:

4.6 out of 5 stars on App Store
3.5 out of 5 stars on Google Play
However, I found the app easy to use and navigate. It's a great tool in aid of your weight-loss journey.

On NuMi you can:

●   Review your grocery guides
●   Join weight loss challenges
●   Log your food and activity
●   Find plenty of healthy recipes
●   Track water intake

Is Nutrisystem food any good?

I received both frozen and nonperishable meals in two shipments, a week apart. The two packages contained enough food for four weeks (three meals and three snacks a day, five days a week). My meal plan was Women's Uniquely Yours.

I'm not a professional food critic, but I put myself in the shoes of someone on the Nutrisystem diet. I made sure to pay special attention to taste, texture, nutritional value, portion sizes and the effort it took to prepare the meals.

Pricing

You can cancel your order within 14 days for your money-back guarantee. Each delivery contains enough meals for four weeks on Nutrisystem. Despite the category you choose, each meal plan is priced the same.

Basic: $10 per day ($280 total for one month)
Uniquely Yours: $11.79 per day ($330 total for one month)
Uniquely Yours Max Plus: $13.21 per day ($370 total for one month)

Although you can get your money back if you cancel within 14 days, if you cancel after the 14 days, but before the 28th day of your bill, you will still be charged a $125 auto-delivery early cancellation fee.

Is Nutrisystem for you?

Diet and weight loss programs are never one-size-fits-all. Finding the right program, exercise regimen and diet takes time. Nutrisystem is no exception. Just like any other low-calorie diet program, Nutrisystem's calorie restriction can lead to short-term weight loss for some. If you are looking to jumpstart your weight loss journey, then Nutrisystem may be for you.

You should try Nutrisystem if:

●   You don't mind the combination of the price tag and a grocery store bill
●   Your busy schedule doesn't allow time to cook healthy meals every day
●   You are looking to lose weight with a partner or need a vegetarian meal plan

You should seek other weight loss options if:

●   You are looking for fresh meals with whole ingredients
●   You require support from a personal, professionally trained coach
●   You have tried low-calorie diets before and have not been successful
