Nutrisystem ProgramDoes Nutrisystem Work? Read My Week 5 Nutrisystem Review And Find Out
My review of the Nutrisystem program begins on a positive note after 4 weeks of weight loss dieting. This is the first time in 3 years that I've actually weighed less than 230 pounds! It's a milestone, and I am truly pleased with the results. That's an average weight loss of 3.85 pounds per week for the past month! Does Nutrisystem work? Judge for yourself. Here's the proof... Initial Starting Weight = 242.6 lbs Week 5 Starting Weight = 227.2 lbs Weight Loss To Date = 15.4 lbs Isn't that great? I'm 15.4 pounds lighter! My second Nutrisystem meals order arrived today and among the 140 meals received (each 28 day supply of food consists of 28 breakfasts, 28 lunches, 28 dinners, and 28 desserts; plus the 7 breakfasts, 7 lunches, 7 dinners, and 7 desserts in my free week of meals) there are some new foods that I haven't tried yet. There's lots of Nutrisystem meals to choose from. It'll be fun to decide which one to eat. Among them, Almond Biscotti. My new Tassimo beverage machine makes an amazing espresso, and I am looking forward to enjoying an almond biscotto and an espresso as an evening treat.

Concluding My Week 5 Review Of NutrisystemI'm not too pleased with myself. At the beginning of the week, I had planned to begin a daily exercise program using our Kettler Elliptical Crosstrainer, but I got sidetracked and it never got started. Plus, I was negligent in eating my veggies most days.By not eating the suggested amounts of vegetables (salads) and fruit, I've noticed that unlike the previous weeks, I found myself craving food between meals, especially in the afternoons and evenings, when I sometimes sneaked in an extra yogurt. Anyway, I've resolved to do better this coming week, and I'm hoping that I haven't hindered my weight loss efforts too much. I was consistent with my daily six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water, though, so that might help. Water is the dieter's friend. This ends Week 5 on the Nutrisystem program. Tomorrow morning we'll find out just how much weight I have (hopefully) lost during this past week and my total weight loss so far. Does Nutrisystem work? To find out, read my...
