NutriSystem® is a highly marketed weight loss system that uses home-delivered meals as a way to control calories and diet. The company promises users tasty, healthy food choices, but we did come across a number of negative reviews online that complained about the food—some even called it “disgusting.” We do feel that these bad reviews shed led on what contributed to the low scores this brand has received on consumer-driven websites that rate weight loss products and options.

Nuphedrine® -- Burn 500 More Calories per Day
Nuphedrine® is simply a crowd pleaser. They say that you will burn at least 500 more calories per day – and the customers back this up. Check out their positive blog ratings. Nuphedrine®’s formula contains only three primary ingredients: Real South African 20X Strength Hoodia, Advantra-Z® (30X Strength), and the patented appetite suppressant, Slimaluma®. This one is always neck and neck with Miracleburn® for customer satisfaction postings. The formulas are very similar, but Nuphedrine®’s is definitely stronger on the metabolism-boosting side. It uses a more potent form of the main ingredient, Advantra-Z®. This formula gives a powerful kick, and dieters will lose weight fast. Read a full Nuphedrine Review Here.

HoodiaP57 - Pure 20X Strength Certified Hoodia
This product is simply as good as Hoodia gets. It is 100% certified, pure Hoodia from South Africa. It also boasts 20X the strength. If any Hoodia product is going to suppress appetite, this is the one. We also like that HoodiaP57 contains nothing else except pure Hoodia -- no fillers and no stimulants. This means it is safe to take whenever you want – including close to bed time. There are hundreds of Hoodia products on the market now, but we don’t even bother to list them on this site, because 99% of them are just cheap imitation Hoodia that is not even from South Africa, where the P57 molecule is the most effective. We chose HoodiaP57 to be on DietBlogTalk because it is of the utmost quality. The maker even includes a certificate of origin from the South African government stating the Hoodia originates from there. This product has nearly a perfect ‘Thumbs Up’ score. Check this one out.

The really amazing part is that most of their customers come from word of mouth, and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular diet products available.

And when the stomach is full, the hypothalamus tells the brain to stop eating. Slimaluma™ sends a signal to the hypothalamus telling the brain that your stomach is full, which helps people eat much less.

Gaby: I was going to to Jenny Craig since Valerie Bertinelli lost all that weight but then I saw Marie Osmond endorsing Nutrisystem and I decided to go with this plan instead. I haven't had great luck so far logging in and using their system so I was just here hoping to find support and women who say thet have lost a significant amount using the food and this diet plan. Please be honest!

Leah: Nutrisystem is totally an outdated, terrible diet plan. I was having a little success but then I went on vacation with my family for two months and didn't have access to the food and the site and without constant guidance I was just lost. I really need to relearn to eat and this plan just holds your hand and feeds you with their supposedly healthy but totally tasteless prep-packaged food. This is not for me or any other woman I know! I want to do it right so the weight stays off. help!

Millie: I joined Nutrisystem two months ago and have yet to lose a single pound. Maybe I need to take a diet pill too? Just to get my metabolism going again... I don't want to cheat or anything but I just have got to get going or I am going to lose all motivation.

Helene: Here's a big question I have. Nutrisystem says you can add on to what they send you, you can buy extra fruit, veggies, salads and so forth...my question is, if you're going to go to the store anyway, why not just buy the frozen South Beach meals? Or the Lean Cuisine? Why is there's supposed to be so much better?

Josie: I see now that Nutrisystem has a weight loss program specifically for older women and I wonder if that will facilitate my strategy. I have to do something since my daughter is getting married in November and I seem to have put on about 50 pounds in the last few years. I have been so busy but now I am ready to make it happen. I look forward to hearing stories from women here since I trust your judgement.

LauraNewJersey: I'll tell you why Nutrisystem is so successful, it's because we Americans are called fat and lazy, so lazy infact that I feel we would even pay someone lot's of money to deliver some pre-packaged meals that not even my dog want to eat. I am sorry, but I am very dissapointed about my experience with this company. I just got my first delivery and the quality of the food was very very low. Again I am sorry, I love food, that's what got me here in the first place, I am 190 lbs when the Dr said I should be 115. But when I say I love food, I just don't eat burgers all day, I am more of a foodie, I love fresh and seasonal ingredients, so I just wanted to say that I find the whole Nutrisystem thing to be an insult to us over weight people who actually love food.

sarah: I signed up for the NutriSystem Advanced because its supposed to be low in glycemic index and have lots OMega-3 in it. I was disappoint to find that the foods were not as good as the last time i had done NutriSystem about 6 years ago. some of the stuff like the pizza is still good but i thought some of the other entrees, such as the green pepper steak with rice, was rather bland. For me it is important to have good taste in my meals. i wonder if its the omega 3 component that makes these meals so tasteless...

LadybirdTX: Nutrisystem works...sort of...I have been using a Hoodia supplement to help keep my appetite in check...that's not a bad thing...it's a plant and I have lost 10 pounds with it. I am very happy.

amelia: i felt like the low-glycemic index factor that they added into the NutriSystem Advanced made it more like all the other low-carb diets, and i was still hungry alot of the time. i ended up not finishing the program, unfortunately.

Rebecca: Dieting is difficult, no doubt about it. Nutrisystem is okay, it's what I am trying this time around. I did Weight Watchers int he 80's and might do it again if this doesn't work but they seem to have some good food choices and for me that is helpful because if I am around good food I will eat too much. I know it sounds weak but for now this is what I need. Let's just hope I can keep the weight off this time.

Andrea: I use NutriSystem because it seems like it makes dieting simple. Coming from a big farm family I am used to eating too much meat and too many carbs. We are a big, happy family. I want to go to college next year and want to look slender. There is no one here I can talk to about this so entering into an online program like this seems like my best hope. I am only on day three but you know what? I feel thinner already. :) The food is not that bad, not good but not bad.

joan: well, i thank NutriSystem for finally getting me down to my goal weight of 125 lbs. i joined the Silver program 6 mos. ago and i didn't think i was going to be able to do it. I usually have a terrible willpower. but between the counseling and the portion controlled meals i was able to do it. I am al little bit worried about maintenance and making sure i keep my weight under control, but i will just stay positive and remember what my counselor said and be grateful that i was abke to do this..

Kim: What's this Omega Sol stuff, and why are they putting it in the Nutri System foods? No wonder they taste weird...

Famke: I know it shouldn't matter since I am supposed to be on a diet and everything but the food that they offer is disgusting. I am thinking maybe I can do it myself and prepare healthy meals instead of continuing with NutriSystem which I am no longer a fan. I know that's harsh but I am just afraid I will slip since it tastes to bad.

Ivory: If I go to the store to try and do my own diet shopping I end up with double chocolate fudge ben and jerry's, and cookies, and maybe even a coconut cream pie, that's my husband's favorite, so obviously, I can't set foot in Von's! Having food delivered to the door makes me feel kind of special, kind of rich and luxurious to have all these boxes just ARRIVE! how cool is that? Unfortunately, NutriSystem has taken a giant nose dive from the last time I used it, and the food is awful! How did that happen? When I got my first delivery, I couldn't believe how bad it was, no taste, no seasonings except for a whole lot of basil on just about everything...I don't know, can you send it back? I really would. It's not a tasty product anymore, and I feel like I've been kinda ripped off...

candace: i am not a fan of NutriSystem Advanced...what this basically does is, it cuts your carbs but then it sneaks "soluble fibers" and omega 3s into your food to make you feel fuller. this often gave me a feeling of bloatingness but not real satisfaction bcs i rarely enjoyed the food. in my opinion there are enough 'low carb' diets out there nutri System does not need to jump on that Bandwagon especially since their foods were less than delicious to begin with. i found myself feeling deprived and thinking about eating decadent foods when i was suppose to be dieting. i think i need to find something that allows me to enjoy food a bit more.

Sheila: If I had known that Nutrisystem offered exercise DVDs I might not have quit the program. I ended up having success with Nia dancing and eating lots of salads but maybe I would have had more weight loss if I had stuck with the plan.

Lana: So far I am having a rather successful diet with NutriSystem. The food is nothing gourmet, far from it but I was prepared for that. what I was not prepared for was the hunger, even though you have prepared meals, the portions are just too small for me . I started talking hoodiaP57 with the nutrisystem and after a week I am really feeling good about the whole thing. I have 20 more lbs to loose . wish me luck :)

Jocelyn: I've been reading lots of articles lately that tell you that eating small portions several times a day is the best way to lose weight, and guess what? That's exactly what the Nutrisystem does! I love being able to eat sort of constantly, which is what I always did, obviously, to get to be 55 pounds overweight, but this is all healthy stuff and so my pattern isn't really breaking, just changing, and that makes this diet easier for me. Custom made you might say!

Ames: While working with a personal trainer and having gourmet meals delivered to your door would be nice but I live in the real world and I need some old fashioned dieting help. Nutrisystem is for real, working women who want to lose weight right.

julie: The Mindset Makeover behavioral guide was my favorite part about Nutri System....it helps me to identify the reasons for my food cravings and learn how to not give into them. This was more valuable to me than the rest of the program. The food, as many have expressed, was nothing special at all I will look into hoodia thx for recommending it.

Tanya: I thought NutriSystem was legitimate but I have paid my dues and I cannot ever log on to the website and I have not received the food that I ordered. I cannot believe Marie Osmond would be the face of a company as disreputable as this. Thumbs down for customer service.

Joy: I am STARVING on Nutrisystem! I just don't think this kind of plan is going to work for me, need to do my own cooking, at least it will taste good, and I can pick what I want if I can just manage to do it in a smart way. This stuff is pretty awful, putting it mildly and kindly. I wished I would have read up here before making such a big investment.

Jenna: i agree, the web based log-in is a nightmare...its a big hassle trying to get in there. I think i'm going to email the admin and tell them about it. I feel like it doesn't even matter what kind of great programs they have if you can't get to them. i am still going to keep trudging along, tho. I did get my food and i know what to eat and tat's the basic. But i do wish i had better access to what i am paying for, lol.

JenniferPhillips: I thought the NutriSystem counselors were snobby and not helpful. I felt really defensive and stupid talking to the girl I got, she didn't seem to care about WHY I was fat, she just wanted to sell me more products. Including Alli, under the table, "she uses it with it", which if you read about it, the side effects are disgusting, and who would use it? Anyway, I certainly did not feel like a cherished customer, but like a champion chump. Will not order again from them.

destiny: It seem's like a few of you are trying NutriSystem for the second or 3rd time. My concern is, if it works so well, why doesn't it work once and then that's that forever?

Ariana: I need to lose weight healthily. I am 55 years old and suffer from diabetes. My doctor says it is imperative that I lose about 40 pounds. Is NutriSystem good? I don't know if I should try it.

lisa: I thought that maybe i could do NutriSystem but I am a vegan and it turns out none of their options fit the needs of a vegan diet. I'm really disappointed, i thought this program was a little more modern.

Hannah: Don't waste your money on NutriSystem! The food is simply horrible. I just can't imagine Marie Osmond eating that crap, there is no way.

Edith C.: I feel nutriSystem is definitely not the most healthy way to diet and keep the weight off long term. I lost about 20 pounds initially but as soon as I started eating on my own I gained it all back and then some. Now I need to know what to do to do it right. Maybe a good supplement, plus fresh food and exercise? Sounds simple but I can't seem to make it happen.

grace: well the Omega Sol Fiber and omega blend in the NutriSystem Advanced foods gave me some major digestive issues and bloating. I'm all for Omega 3s, but i prefer not to have my food spiked with them. I think i'll just take a good Omega supplement...,if anybody knows of one that doesn't cause bloating, i'd love to hear about it.

Annie: I hated missing meals with my family. Nutrisystem and their food plan is not for me. I am okay with no dessert and smaller portions but I have to be able to break bread with my friends and family in order to feel like I am a participant in my life. That makes me happy. I know I will find a better more natural way.

Carole: I think there is nothing wrong with wanting to get in shape and lose weight, all of the western countries are doing it, not only us. I chose NutriSystem because of the convenience it offers and yes I agree the food is not the best, it's still food and when you work 12 hours a day your just happy you don't have to call Chinese takeout or go to the supermarket. It's here and ready to go. I was having some hunger issues which I fixed later on with a diet capsule and I am just loosing pounds all I want now is to loose those extra pounds I still have.

laurynP.: The" zesty cajun style chicken and sausage with brown rice" was the most craptacular meal i have ever had in my life. I almost gagged. no more Nutri System, not for me. I thought I was crazy, but the food I see really does not taste good.

Lea: The last time I used NutriSystem, it worked just fine for me, but maybe that's because I was younger, and it was the only real "system" around, but there are so many others now, and I think NutriSystem has dropped the ball on this...the food's no good, the web site's a mess...there are more choices now, and this one is not making the cut for me.

Vanessa: I already have a diet aid I like but now I am looking at a diet plan to support my efforts even more. Nutrisystem doesn't sound like the best but I don't know what else to do.

Kelly: All I could eat was the granola bars and the cereals the rest is just pure garbage, I am sorry i know some people don't have don't even have that too eat but I can't help thinking I give those people at NutriSystem a lot of money I should not be starving myself like that.

marisa: hey, I've also been taking Hoodia to help keep my appetite under control while doing NutriSystem, and it's really been helping me to make the most of this diet. Other times I've tried diets like this but had no willpower. The one i take is called Hoodia P57 www.hoodiap57.com/testimonials. I did a lot of looking around for the right one, and this one has the certification and it's definitely been working and I've lost 17 lbs on NutriSystem in 5 weeks.

Natalie: I'm thinking about doing NutriSystem, but my problem with these "portion control" diets is, a lot of the time, when i go off the diet, i dont know how to control my OWN portions very well. it gets me every time. For those of you who take Hoodia, does it help you control your eating even when you are NOT on a controlled diet? does that question make sense? i hope so. :)

Amanda: How many people think that Marie Osmond really lost weight with NutriSystem?

Marguerite: The NutriSystem food is not edible, sorry, it's just not. The rice tastes like it's the old instant stuff we used to buy, the vegs are overcooked, I cannot use this, sorry but this is my experience.

sarita: NutriSystem has gotten better with all of the different programs and resources that are available. i just do wish they could make the food a bit better. I know that for me, one important part of staying on a diet is not feeling deprived. Its not that the foods are *bad*, at least not to me, they are just really really bland. With these foods, I often find myself daydreaming about scarfing down an entire pizza. which is a pretty good indicator that i'm not too far away from doing so.

vivienne: Well, my sister is an entertainment lawyer in L.A., and according to her, a lot of these stars get offered these "spokesperson" contracts after they lost the weight some other way, god knows how. It's just another way for them to get some money and screen time. so yeah, I think Marie Osmond probably had some other assistance with her weight loss.

Nicolette: I'm kind of sluggish and lazy, I have to admit, and I don't like cooking, never have. So the idea of having food delivered to my door is quite divine, better than eating all the prepared stuff I usually get at Trader Joe's which after awhile all tastes the same, I mean how much green chili sauce can you spread around the world and expect it to be a new experience? And I'm about 40 over what I should be...the frozen enchilladas are supposed to be for four people but I always manage to eat the whole panful...and NutriSystem seems like a good alternative for me, I don't mind that the food isn't all that exciting, what I've been eating lately hasn't been that great, either, and at least this way I know it's healthy and the portions are for ONE person, and when it's gone, it's gone. So that's good for me, and I'm going to get through this first order, and if I can still make it, go for another two weeks. I'm losing weight, and that's all I'm after for right this minute. Taste will have to come later.

Lillian: I am week 2 of NutriSystem, I choose the Vegeterian option simply because meat sounds kind of scary out of a box. The diet is really hard for me, even though I do add things to it, I am still really hungry. I am thinking about ordering an appetite supplement I think it's the only way I can make it to the end. right I am loosing weight which is encouraging but I need to stop having that feeling of hunger all day long, it drives me crazy.

Dorianne: That is not food. I tried the program for my mother and myself. We have different needs but I thought NutriSystem would make life easier. I found out she wasn't eating anything and I was eating everything, sneaking food late at night. I need to eat real food and lose weight healthy. Glad to see I am not alone.

gina: The old "portion control" trick is as old as the hills: you let somebody else box up prepared portions for you and voila! no willpower needed. Well, let me tell you you DO need will power to stay thin, either now or later. when i went off NutriSystem, i tryed so hard to maintain. i even tryed my own methods of portion control. i.e., i got those 100 calorie packs of cookies or other snacks. but you know what i found myself doing? eating like 6 100 calorie packs in one day! That sort of defeats "portion Control." the only one who can really control your portions is YOu. that is why you do NOT need NutriSystem!

rose: well, i have been an shut-in for the past 5 yrs., i have had complications from diabetes and knee replacement surgery. i knew that i needed to loose weight but it was difficult, because i cannot go to a gym nor even run errands. i knew i had to loose this weight or i would die, i prayed for the strength to do this, even as lonely as i m here with no Motivation. i saw a commerical for NutriSystem and it made me feel that i could have hope, the meals were delivered to my door, they were simple to prepare and they did not leave me feeling very hungary. i think i am almost down to a weight (170) where i can begin to do some low-impact exercise. i am very proud of myself and i feel less winded when i walk up a set of stairs. thank you. Rose delanco, nj

tera: The whole Nutrisystem was not working for me at all. I mean the idea is good and all but it was not for me. even after getting over (sort of) the bad food and feeling like you are hungry all the time then the diet is over and you are happy you lost some weight, BUT THEN and boom it comes right back and you have to pay again. what I am doing right now is South beach diet which teaches me how to eat properly and it is a diet for life so no risk in getting the weight back and if you do then that's okay just go back to phase one. Of course also take a diet aid and I don't feel bad about it, it helps me big time.

Kay Hines: Dieting is really hard work, I'm here to tell you, God knows I've done enough of them! So NutriSystem seemed like the answer to a (fat) maiden's prayer, but in fact it was not. I mean, it was not a Hail Mary food moment for me when I opened the first box that showed up at my door. First, it was worrisome that there was something leaking onto my front porch, and Second, it was even more worrisome when I saw that it looked like the box had all ready been opened before I even got to it. Leaky, open=unsafe, so I took it all back to the post office, and am canceling the whole works. If I can't get the food delivered safely, what's the point? Thanks for all your comments and suggestions.

Beth: This plan has not worked for me. I'm actually okay with most of the food and have been following the plan diligently for over a week now. I know my body, and when I follow WW perfectly, I lose weight. This plan...I have GAINED weight. What the heck is that? My theory right now is that I'm not being given enough food to eat during the day and my metabolism is freaking out but that's just my guess right now. Im' glad to see I'm not the only person having trouble with this system.

linda: I bought the food and returned it in 4 days. It made me really sick and tasted awful. I did get my money back though.. still looking for a good plan.

Nadia: The thing I miss most with Nutrisystem is cooking meals for all of my family to sit down and enjoy. I can't cook for them and not want to eat right along with the, it's the nurturing thing, the mom thing, so I'm supposed to cook and then pop open a Nutrisystem package of gunk to eat by myself while they're eating my delicious pasta? That just isn't happening in my house. Want to lose weight, but want to love my husband and kids with my cooking! It's one of the ways I show them how much I care....

Nathalie: Nutrisystem sounded extremely convenient for me who has no time whatsoever to cook during the week. I am staring next week and really can't wait. Many of you have mentioned Weight Watchers and I can tell you that it didn't work for me. I will be back.

Anonymous: Hi, everyone - As a former employee of NutriSystem, I might be able to shed some light. As a NutriSystem weight loss counselor, I had to meet "performance benchmarks" -- which involved ensuring "client retention" and encouraging customers to buy AS MANY NUTRISYSTEM PRODUCTS AS POSSIBLE. the emphasis was totally on moving product, and keeping the clients paying, it really didn't matter whether they were losing weight. In fact, one of my coworkers used to joke that it was better to keep them doing just well enough to stay on the program, but not so well that they actually reached their goals. Believe me when I say- despite the commercials where they seem to have your best interest at heart- they do NOT. These people JOKE about you and taking your money. don't let them use you! good luck to all of you.

Alysha: So I am just beginning my second month of the Nutrisystem Advanced program for women, and, not as excited as I was at the beginning of last month. I am not ready to give up, its just, the food choices are getting boring already. And its hard to go to the grocery store to buy any extra items because I only have time to go after work. And that's when I'm hungry, and likely to load my cart with ice cream or soda, and not just the fruit & veggies I went in for. And, so far? oNly 2 lbs lost. I am stickiing it out another month & then, I will reassess.

Bobby: It's been 3 weeks since starting Nutrisystem. I have no major proplem with the food, I am terrible cook and I'm just happy I don't have to eat the food I make. What I have a problem with is how slow this is working. I only lost 2lbs in 3 weeks. Considering the money I am giving them I was hopping to have much quicker and better results than that.

sheryl K.: The meals were my biggest disappointment from NutriSystem. Foods like the beef pot roast and the green pepper steak were truly repulsive, with grayish, congealed looking gravy and bland chunks of meat with a rubbery texture. Plus, the portions were significantly smaller than they are on weight watchers, south Beach OR Jenny Craig. For me, food is important (obviously, or i wouldn't be in this situation) and it's important that any diet i am on include at least some enjoyable meals. NutriSystem, in my opinion, falls way short of its competitors in this regard.

vintage96: Wow, I felt like i'd been taken for a ride with nutrisystem, now i see i was right. i was on the program for a year, despite trying to quit 3 times. when the year came to close & i was still 42 lbs from my goal weight, i had enough. having more success on the south beach diet, which i shoulda done rihgt from the start.

annabanana: geez i'm surprised to see all the neg posts for nutrisystem, hasn't this been around a long time?? i was considering trying the vegetarian program but probably won't now. i read a review for NutriSystem on sensational.com/diet and wonder why so many people still join? glad i looked further into this before starting, thx.

Callie: I just wonder how did NutriSystem even get to be as big as it is??? All this time, i guess i assumed it had this reputation because it was a decent diet, but now that i have tried it, i just dont even get why it's well-known. The food is awful, not even fresh, its way too expensive for what you get, the weight loss takes forever and the counseling is mediocre. It doesn't make any sense that this company can even afford to make TV commercials. oh well, i guess fame isn't necessarily something you deserve or earn - look at Paris Hilton.

Marcia: Over priced, that is what Nutrisystem is. I just can't do it anymore especially considering the little result I was getting. I think I am going to try south beach, I have been reading some of the reviews and people seem to have great success with it.

Solange: Good point Callie. was wondering the same thing the first time I looked at my plate! Felt like I was eating at some gross cafeteria.

Sailorbar: I've about had it with NutriSystem. I've been on it for a month, have only lost 3 punds, I'm starving, the food is terrible. I really have nothing nice to say. Accept glad to see I'm not alone.

gena L.: UGH. I would not encourage anyone to do NutriSystem Vegetarian. Let's just say that tofu does not lend itself very well to the freeze-dried preparation method.

robert: "NUtriSystem Men" is supposed to provide heartier foods and more generous portions...if thats true i hate to see what you ladies get. i was hungry and deprived the whole time, the food tasted terrible. what a joke.

Marlo: The worst part about Nutrisystem, for me, is the lunches. All my co-workers go out for lunch together, and I stay behind microwaving my meals and catching up on emails while I eat. How depressing is that? I tell myself I'm saving money and eating healthy but, its driving me crazy. Plus, I don't even look any slimmer. I wonder, is there a way that I can still sort of "follow" this diet by letting myself free from it for one meal a day, or will it just all fall apart if I do that? Its been 3 months I just am losing my motivation, and some much-needed venting time with the folks at work.

Sancia: Can we talk about cost here for a minute? I could eat WAY better and cheaper than the NutriSystem plan, but I don't know how to cook the way they do so food has low calories, 'cause that's the trick, I like sour cream and butter and salt on just about every thing, so I guess I'm paying for their cooking trickery, but the trouble is the food tastes awful and half the time I end up throwing it away, so how can I succeed? It's all such a contradiction to me...maybe if I ate my own cooking but just tiny portions? Do you think that would work? And save me money? And I might get thin?

megan furlong: With all the great vegetarian protein sources there now are, i was really surprised to find that NutriSystem Vegetarian plan is practically all pasta. Practically all i was eating was carbs. The weight loss seemed like it was taking forever, and i was really missing my own healthy vegetairan recipes! it was insane, i couldn't continue.

Camilla: You guys, it takes time to loose weight, I mean what is the rush, do you want to loose it fast and then gain it right back? It took me 18 months to my 32 extra pounds and I feel very proud of myself for sticking to Nutrisystem advance woman, I could not have done it without them.

Char: Though I am not too fond of the meals either, I've found a way to make Nutrisystem a little easier. Around 3pm, instead of focusing on how hungry I am since the lunch didnt fill me up, I either take a 10-15 minute walk outdoors (if I can break away from the desk) or chew on a Hoodia Bites candy (no sugar! http://www.hoodiabites.com/mags/) Dinner isn't such a long way off this way!

jocelyn: DO you think it would be cheating to take an appetite suppressant with NutriSystem? This food's killing me, I'm dreaming of real pizza.....

Thalia: I just ate a Hershey Bar because all this NutriSystem talk has me so upset! I spent so much money on it, felt like I was at least eating healthy and following a program that would make me lose the 55 pounds I need to get rid of, but the food was awful, especially the vegetables, I mean, how can you make a frozen pea taste bad? And so I did a lot of slipping and sliding, not losing any weight to speak of, and I have feel so guilty because I have this freezer full of really noxious food, and maybe I'll give it to the dog and save on Alpo.Quesion is, what do I do next?

Frannie: I love Ellie Krierger from the food network, someone mentioned earlier that didn't know how to cook. She makes yummy healthy food. I cook a lot of her food since stopping Nutrisystem.

GoldFish: Appetite suppressants are a good idea, I never thought of it, thanks for mentioning it Jocelyn. Nutrisystem on it's own is just not fat enough, I think I need to eat less and not be too hungry.

Reema: How long has NutriSystem been around? Longer than Weight Watchers? Seems like they invented this kind of packaged food idea, but then got stuck with an awful product, others are better, especially South Beach, I tried one of their frozen dinners, the meatloaf, and it was delicious, not like NutriSystem's which tasted like processed cardboard, so I'm switching because I like the idea of not cooking and eating healthy, just not with NutriSystem, they need to catch up and modernize!

Taryn: well what really got me was the so called "snacks" on NutriSystem. See, my problem has always been the between meals snacking, and some of NutriSystem's snacks sounded pretty good on paper. Not so much in my mouth, though. I died a little inside when i ate the so-called "sour cream and onion soy chips." They actually tasted LIKE paper. my 3 pm temptation will soon be hitting, and it'll be worse than ever since i have no alternative.

Isabelle: The appeal of Nutrisystem for me was certainly the pre-packaged foods, thats a no-brainer. DOn't have to think about planning meals or cooking th
