I read your critiques of the Nutri-System diet. I have been on the program for about 10 days now and have lost 10 lbs. I have been on many diets before and don't find it more expensive than say buying the Weight Wathcrs for instance and or their meals and supplements. I was alos on a program at a gym and the whey protenin powdersw and bars were tasteless and expensive.

I have found for the most part the food is better than comparable low calorie food such as Lean Cusine or South Beach Diet Particularly Lean cuisine is so loaded with garlic and other harsh spices to give the flavor that you don't get, because after all fat is flavor, that their foods to me are unpalatqble. By and large, so far, the meals though small, are as tasty as the competition in my humble opinion.

I started on the diet a few months. I have actually lost and kept off about 15 pounds. However, this whole program is misleading. You do not get all of the food you need to be on the program. You still have to buy the fruits, veggies and other items. Most of the food is awful and has them same aftertaste no matter what you may be eating. The commercials talking about the delicious meals are just wrong. I still have most of the lunch entrees in my pantry because they are pretty much inedible. Plus I noticed that some of the food causes a sharp increase in flatulence. A little extra bonus there. Bottom line, the lean cuisines, etc. taste better and probably cost about the same. Can't recommend this to anyone who remotely enjoys food.

None. Just fed up with false advertising.

I was convinvced by the sales ad on TV to try Nutrisystem as a weight loss alternative. I have had a triple heart bypass and the information regarding their salt content was not revealed until I received the merchandise. I have used their product now for two days and have noticed an uncomfortable feeling in my chest which reminds me of eating too much salt. I will be contacting my cardiologist today and seek his professional opinion on this diet plan.

The food is revolting. I have had to throw away food because of the taste and smell. Also, substitutes were items I did not like, either, because of taste or smell.

I have actually gained two to three pounds because of all of the water gain--probably from the high salt content.

No problems with the diet. Food is okay, convenient!
