I could not eat the food and called to get a return number and address to return it. The address was bogus; I sent it USPS. No one can find the package, and Nutrisystem says they didn't recieve the package or cannot tell me without a confirmation number. I gave them the only number the USPS gave me, and they said it has to be a 20 digit number. I don't know where the box is of the lousy food I couldn't eat! It made me feel light headed.  It cost 25.00 to send it back, but they say I will never get a refund.

I am out 299.00 plus shipping of 25.00. They gave me a bogus address to send it to in Kansas City, Kansas!

If you see the Nutrisystem meals, you would understand the complaints. When I called on my second month to place the cancellation (because I forgat to call earlier), the operator asked me the reason to cancel. I asked, "have you tried them?" And her answer was, "No, but I heard they are pretty bad." The TV dinners look like dog food but with a worse smell. Some of the snaks (150 calories) are ok but I can find similars in the grocery store with less calories (90) I am thinking about giving the box of meals to charity but the less fortunate may not like it eather.

When I received my order from Nutrisystem, more than 10% of the items I had custom-ordered had been substituted. The food they did send me was marginal at best, although I was not expecting gourmet food. I decided to send back my order because the cost of the program plus the cost of the extra groceries was just too expensive for the quality of the program. I called customer service to return my program and they gave me an RMA number to write both on the packaging slip and on the outside of the box, which I did. They gave me an address to send the package to, and told me to send it either UPS or USPS. I decided to send it through the USPS. I got delivery confirmation on the package and was notified that the company received the package on November 5.

I called customer service to see when I could expect credit to my account and was told to fax a copy of my receipt from the USPS and a list of all the food I returned. Blanch told me that since I sent my package with the USPS, my return would not be processed until I faxed these things. She said if I would have sent it UPS I would not have had to do this. Had they told me this I would have simply sent it UPS and saved this headache. If I had not called I do not know if I would have ever received a credit. Now I have to pay to fax these papers. The time, energy, and extra money it will cost me to receive a credit for a package that they already have at their warehouse is ridiculous.

I ordered 4 weeks of Nutrisystem and 1 week free. I asked if this was good for a diabetic; they said there is a special package for diabetics. I received order that said "diabetic menu"-- most lunches and dinners are over-spiced, some are completely inedible, and after 2 weeks have lost no weight. They claim that the food, in order to be preserved, has to have more sodium and spice. It's disgusting.

I received my food package and started the program 5 days ago. How I regret it. Most of the food is horrible. The breakfast and desert are not bad. As for the lunch and dinners, they are totally disgusting.  I believe this is probably because the food comes in a vaccum sealed package (not frozen) and thus needs too much preservatives.

I tried to keep going after my first day because I thought I would get used to it, but after the 3rd day I was I realized I can get the same amount of calories with Lean Cuisine and it tastes much better.
