Congrats on the grad school completion
 
I don't know a lot about nutrisystem other than the fact that every ad I see has small fine print disclaimers about how the results are not typical and weight was lost before product use, etc. Leads me to believe its all bullshit but it is great marketing though.

thank you.

i have noticed that results aren't typical in small print, i have wondered what exactly they meant by that as well.

I've tried it....I didn't get it to lose weight, I got it because I was so busy at the time and didn't have the time to eat healthy...It was pretty decent food though...

Never tried it, but it's not magic - simply eat less food. Buy a food scale (so you can portion your food), use a calorie calculator (google it) to estimate your caloric needs, subtract 500 calories (to lose 1 lb a week) and simply read the countless threads on here about nutrition and what to eat.

every model like that chick on cheers christy alley, looses the weight then gains it back in months. This is coming from a guy who has lost 125 lbs and have kept it off for a year and three months, change your way of eating to a high protein, low fat and low carb diet. The food tastes like shit at first but then you actually start to like to eat bland foods.After six months I really wanted a fatty cheese burger, I ate it and threw up.Now fatty foods taste gross to me.

i've tried it...its expensive and the food isn't that good.
 
my advice...
 
stick to ONLY
 
-salads with oil
-steak and chicken
-vegetables
-no desserts, potatoes, fried food, basically STAY FAR AWAY from carbs.
-run for 20 minutes on a treadmill 3 times a week.
-drink all water, all the time.
 
you will lose the weight and feel like a million bucks.

Me and wife tried it last year. We each lost about 25 Lbs in about a month in half. It's not cheap and you still have a costly food bill. (fruits vegetables etc.) I do have to say I've tried other diets that didnt work for me, so N.S. did work. The food isn't too bad, but I mainly remember filling up on salads at dinner time. Also I was constanly eating something during the day (wheat bread, cheese, fruit, yogart.) And water...a TON of water. Also something else that helped was placing your dinner on a plate opposed to eating it right out the microwave in the container. I think it was a mental thing, but it seemed as though you were getting more food with the salad, bread, nuts all on the plate.
 The main thing is it was very easy to put the weight back on if you don't change your diet after using N.S. I did find myself less hungry the longer I was on it though. Hope this helps.
