Nutrisystem ComplaintsDoes Nutrisystem Work? Read My Week 4 Nutrisystem Review And Find Out
If I have any Nutrisystem complaints, it's that Nutrisystem doesn't supply non-fat, sugar-free condiments with Nutrisystem meals in their weight loss diet program. For instance, it's not always easy to find a good sugar-free syrup to go with the breakfast pancake mix. And, it would be nice to have packets of sugar-free mustard and relish for the turkey hot dogs, flame broiled hamburgers, and grilled chicken breasts. A fat-free butter alternative would also be nice. However, I was pleased to discover Becel® Topping & Cooking Spray at my local supermarket. This unique product is completely fat-free and contains zero calories, yet it adds a natural butter flavor to whatever you spray it on. I use it to garnish cooked vegetables and even dinner rolls. After lightly spraying it onto a frying pan, you can fry an egg in it to make a delicious protein snack; it makes the fried egg taste rich and buttery. This Becel® Topping & Cooking Spray is perfect for those times when you crave the taste of butter. Today I begin my 4th week of dieting on the Nutrisystem program. This morning's weigh-in revealed that so far I have lost exactly 12 pounds. I am very pleased, to say the least. That's an average weight loss of 3 pounds per week after 3 weeks of dieting! Initial Starting Weight = 242.6 lbs Week 4 Starting Weight = 230.6 lbs Weight Loss To Date = 12.0 lbs Wednesday, May 5Week 4: Nutrisystem ComplaintsBreakfast: Sweetened Os Cereal with 1 banana (fruit) sliced into the cereal.Morning Snack: Non-fat yogurt (dairy). Lunch: Pasta Parmesan with Broccoli. Afternoon Snack: 1/2 tin (1/4 cup) of tuna (protein) with 1 tablespoon fat-free Miracle Whip® salad dressing (extra), lettuce (veg), and 1 small whole wheat roll (carb) to make a sandwich. Dinner: Stroganoff Sauce with Beef & Noodles, 1 cup cooked asparagus (veg), and 1/2 cup cooked mixed vegetables (veg). Dessert: Chocolate Rainbow Delights. Remarks: The whole wheat roll (carb) and non-fat dressing (extra) were not on the afternoon snack dietary schedule, but I didn't have a carbohydrate for my lunch so I improvised. The tuna, lettuce, and whole wheat roll made a very satisfying sandwich. Non-fat salad dressings simply count as an extra in the Nutrisystem program, not a fat. Thursday, May 6Week 4: Nutrisystem ComplaintsBreakfast: Nutriflakes Cereal with 3/4 cup blueberries (fruit).Morning Snack: 2/3 cup non-fat cottage cheese (dairy) and 1 banana (fruit).

Dessert: Nacho Crisps. Remarks: I had an appointment in the city around noon, so the Nutrisystem Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar made a tasty lunch on the run. I compensated a little for the light lunch by having a more substantial morning snack than usual. Saturday, May 8Week 4: Nutrisystem ComplaintsBreakfast: Crispy Rice Cereal with 1 banana (fruit) sliced into the cereal.Morning Snack: 1/2 tin (1/4 cup) tuna (protein) mixed with vinegar and 1/4 chopped Spanish onion (veg). Lunch: Creamy Tomato Soup with 4 whole wheat crackers (carb) broke into the soup. Afternoon Snack: Non-fat yogurt (dairy). Dinner: Wedged Potatoes with Sliced Beef Steak and 1 slice homemade whole wheat bread (carb). Dessert: White Chocolate Chunk Cookie. Remarks: Some Nutrisystem meals like the Wedged Potatoes with Sliced Beef Stake come swimming in rich gravy and they make a delicious hot sandwich by pouring them over a slice of whole wheat bread. Very tasty! Sunday, May 9Week 4: Nutrisystem ComplaintsBreakfast: Apple Strudel Scone and a coffee with 2% milk (dairy).Morning Snack: None. Lunch: Fudge Graham Bar with 1 banana (fruit) and a coffee with 2% milk (dairy). Afternoon Snack: 1 small apple (fruit). Dinner: Oriental Steak with Green Peppers and Noodles with 1 cup cooked asparagus (veg), along with 1/4 cup Chinese noodles (carb) and 1/4 cup cooked Chinese vegetables (veg). Dessert: Cheese Puffs and a Tassimo cappuccino (dairy). Remarks: The Chinese noodles and cooked Chinese vegetables were not Nutrisystem foods. They were taken from a Chinese Dinner take-out meal. I simply couldn't resist a taste of Chinese food when our boys treated their mother to her favorite meal on Mother's Day, so I cheated a little. Hey, I'm only human! I compensated by drinking an extra glass or two of water.

I love the Astro® ZerO® Fat Free yogurt that comes in a variety of fruit flavors. It contains no fats, no sugar added, and no aspartame since they are sweetened with Splenda®. And the nice part is each 100 gram container only has 40 calories.I love yogurt, so I eat one small 100 gram container of yogurt for most snack times. Here's a little tip: Yogurt also makes a nice treat when slightly frozen, satisfying cravings for ice cream. This ends my Week 4 Nutrisystem Review. Tomorrow morning we'll discover exactly how much weight I have lost during the past seven days and the total number of pounds I have lost in the one month (4 weeks) since I began my Nutrisystem diet.
