Nutrisystem Review for 2025

Nutrisystem Review for 2025

By BDT staff 

Is Nutrisystem right for you? It depends!

If you need to lose some weight and do not like to cook then you may consider Nutrisystem. All meals, snacks, and desserts are prepackaged and easy to prepare.

Members pay for 28 days worth of meals at a time, and must add fruit, veggies and dairy from their supermarket. Nutrisystem has the largest selection of prepackaged meals out of all the diet food delivery programs, with over 150 food choices.

Only I Love This DietTM offers greater variety (300 frozen meal choices) that you can buy at your local supermarket or order online from a grocery delivery services..

Nutrisystem offers shelf-stable and frozen meals. Shelf-stable meals are very convenient as they do not need refrigeration. They're handy because you can keep them in your cupboard. 

Does Nutrisystem work? Yes, but...

A survey conducted by National Business Research Institute in 2009 found that Nutrisystem customers lost an average of 30 pounds over an average of 18 weeks compared to self-dieters who lost an average of 20 pounds over an average of 13.5 weeks.

If you can stick with eating the Nutrisystem food, you’ll lose weight. The problem is that most people can't. But, this is true for any diet plan.

Difficulty Level

This is a very easy diet to understand, and requires little cooking. You’ll be eating often throughout the day to prevent food cravings and keep your metabolism humming. And carb lovers will appreciate that no food group is deemed evil on this plan. In fact, Nutrisystem’s low-calorie pasta dinners and chocolate snacks can keep carb-lusters from falling off the diet wagon.

Support

While Nutrisystem does have online support and a toll free number available to members, it doesn’t have the in-person support. But if you do not have problems with emotional eating and you’d prefer to be a weight-loss lone wolf, you’ll enjoy the no-fuss system that requires little time commitment.

You may find that joining the site’s online community and accessing the online tools are all you need to stay on track. Most notable: their mobile app. 

The Bottom Line

If you’re short on time and want to lose weight without counting points or calories, Nutrisystem makes dieting automatic. There are no meetings or weigh-ins to attend, so busy dieters don’t have to slow down their lives to speed up their weight loss. 

At a glance: Is Nutrisystem the diet for me?

Yes, if:

•    You don’t want to spend time counting carbs, calories, or points.

•    You’re too time-crunched to attend meetings or counseling sessions.

•    You hate to cook.

•    You don’t want to eliminate any “naughty foods” from your life completely.

•    You’ve got special dietary needs (vegetarians, diabetics).

No, if:

•    You’re on a tight budget.

•    You’re a health newbie and could use peer support or a counselor.

•    You’ve never found a Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice frozen dinner that rubbed you the right way.
