Nutrisystem: Meals the Easy and Quick Way

Posted: Oct 26, 2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 33 | Bookmark and Share

NutriSystem is the weight-loss plan that compliments even the most hectic of schedules. This online diet center will deliver healthy meals, and even dessert, right to your home. On the NutriSystem plan, you'll eat five times a day- three meals and two snacks. These meals combine a nutritious balance of carbs (55%), protein (25%) and finally fat (20%).

The NutriSystem program includes a meal plan with 120 delicious pre-packed options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and desserts! You select the foods you want online or over the phone and they are shipped right to your door, no cooking involved. All you have to do is add a few ingredients like fresh vegetables and fruits. After all, who has time to hunt down special ingredients for low-fat cooking, or to prepare one diet meal for yourself and something else for the rest of your family? All of the meals are perfectly portioned so there is no weighing, measuring, or counting calories or points. And if you have any questions, a counselor, nutritionist, and dietitian are a phone call or e-mail away.

The foods in the Nutrisystem program are designed based on the Glycemic Index. They are low in fat and include the right amounts of protein, fiber, and good carbohydrates. This balance of ingredients makes each of the meals easy for your body to digest and turn into energy, without spikes in your blood sugar that can lead to energy crashes. Instead, you get to eat tasty meals five times a day that help you stay full and provide constant energy levels so that you have plenty of motivation to workout. Best of all, the meals aren’t standard diet fare. You get to have burgers, lasagna, pizza, and even chocolate desserts! It’s much easier to stick to a diet when you get to eat the things you love without feeling guilty.

Macaroni and Cheese, Chicken Noodle Soup, Chicken Parmesan, tacos and tasty treats like almond biscotti and blueberry lemon bars are just a sampling of the more than 100 delicious meals you'll find online at NutriSystem. Each meal is pre-packaged and prepared to the appropriate portion size.

The NutriSystem Nourish plan's foundation is in eating Low Glycemic foods to meet the daily carbohydrate requirement. The body breaks down Low Glycemic foods slower than High Glycemic foods and maintains blood sugar, while High Glycemic foods result in sudden increases in insulin and break down quickly in the body. Foods high in protein and fiber are the best sources for Low Glycemic foods, which raise metabolism and maintain a feeling of fullness.

With six varied plans, NutriSystem can meet your individual needs. These plans include the Men's Program and Women's Program, Women Over 60 and Men Over 60, Type II Diabetic and All-Vegetarian program.
