The Plan

So a while back, I told you all I was thinking about starting the NutriSystem plan right? Because after trying every diet plan under the sun known to God and man (yup, and that one too), I finally deduced that I could lose these last 20 pounds if someone would just buy my food, portion it, cook it and hand it to me to eat. Sounds simple right? Well, unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone willing to put their life aside to cater solely to me so I had to look at other options (I know, people right? And they call themselves my friends *rolling eyes*).

Enter NutriSystem. I mean, of course, I've seen the commercials, who hasn't? But do you really pay them any mind? I didn't, not for the longest time. But then, in my neverending search for the perfect body with the least amount of effort, I decided to see what the The Plan was all about. After a bit of research, I was actually pleasantly surprised to find that it was uncomplicated, affordable (relatively) and free of all the bells and whistles that normally accompany such a publicly advertised diet plan. I was intrigued, and then (with $100 in discounts) I was sold.

So I've been on The Plan for 6 weeks and am down an undisclosed number of pounds. I have not been 100% on plan and yet, I have continued the downward trend. I won't bore you with the semantics of it but suffice it to say, you get out what you put in. The plan is simple, easy to follow and i find the food quite palatable. I won't post my numbers here cos I have my good and bad days but I did take before pictures and plan to take after pictures and those I will post.

The food gets delivered every month and there's no contract so you can start and stop when you like. You get breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert and you supplement meals with fruits and veggies. Basically, it teaches you the way that you should eat (which we all know) and teaches you portion sizes (what? you mean I shouldn't eat the whole box of Entenmans in one sitting?).

Here's what the food looks like:

Breakfast



Lunch


Dinner


Dessert

So that's my thing for now. I figure I'll do it for 3-4 months, lose the weight and then hopefully continue the good habits I've learned to maintain my weightloss. We'll see though, we shall see...

I have always wanted to try it, but I heard the food is so nasty, you DON'T eat and THAT'S how you lose the weight! :) glad to hear it's working for you though...
