"There is no silver bullet when it comes to losing weight, the
best plan is the one you can stick with," says Meghan Nichols, a registered dietitian and
member of Nutrisystem's Research & Development team. "We
are focused on three components when it comes to our menu – quality
nutrition, great taste and variety. Delivering all three increases
our customers' odds of successfully losing weight by helping them
eat healthy, fight cravings and manage hunger while still eating
the foods they enjoy – just healthier versions of those foods in
the right amount."
Nutrisystem uses science to solve the complex issue of weight
loss and maintenance. The Company's programs are based on low
Glycemic Index eating, delivering high protein, high fiber and
smart carbs for sustained energy and satiety that will keep dieters
feeling full throughout the day.
There are literally hundreds of Nutrisystem menu combinations,
including delicious frozen dishes as well as the convenience of
pantry-ready choices, which are easily storable and transportable
for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and dessert in the office or
on the road. Nutrisystem also offers tailored plans for
women, men, seniors, teens and vegetarians as well as the
Nutrisystem® D® program, specifically designed for people
with diabetes, as well as for those who are at risk for
diabetes.

"People think being on a diet means denying yourself or starving
yourself. The opposite is true on Nutrisystem," notes Marie Osmond, long-time Nutrisystem spokesperson
who has lost a total of 50 pounds* to date on the diet. "I think
it's important to be able to eat the foods you love when you are
dieting – but just eat better, more nutritionally balanced versions
of your favorites. And that's what you get with Nutrisystem. I'm
looking forward to trying everything on the list of favorites and
to taking Nutrisystem with me when I'm on tour next year."
Dieters who stay on the Nutrisystem® SUCCESS® program can expect
to lose between 1-2 pounds per week*. Initial weight loss may
be more. Importantly, clinically meaningful weight loss can take
place in as little as a month, with reductions in the waistline and
other markers of health.
