The nutrisystem diet… let's see, how can I put this?
It's tough to find words bad enough to describe this ridiculous diet plan and waste of money.
Horrible. Unhealthy. Processed foods. Tastes like dog food.
What else can I say?
That's all you need to read to know you should not try this diet plan. Just don't. Save your money and your health.
What Are You Really Looking For In The Nutrisystem Diet?
You're probably looking to lose weight quickly, right? You want to shed the pounds. You want to see the number on the scale dwindle down. Am I right?
If you follow the Nutrisystem diet plan, you'll lose weight. You will. I'm not saying you won't.
So what's my problem you might be thinking? What's wrong with you Josh? Why do you hate Nutrisystem so much?
I'm sick of these companies with too much money simply trying to make more money off of people with no concern or care for their well being.
I'm truly sick of seeing garbage like this. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!! Agghhhhh!!! (Pulling my hair out).
And I've lost tons of respect for the celebrities promoting this product just for the money.
It's ridiculous. The world proves once more that everything revolves around money and caring for others is low priority.
Here's What You REALLY Get with Nutrisytem…
You get weight loss. The number on the scale goes down.
But guess what?
Most of the body weight that you lose comes in the form of muscle mass. It's true. And why is that important?
When you lose muscle mass, the number on the scale goes down BUT you're actually getting fatter. You now have a higher percentage of body fat and lower percentage of muscle mass.
You might think this isn't important… But take a second to think about this.
What's really important to you?
- You probably want to look better
- You probably want to feel better
- You probably want to be healthier
I'm going to assume that you want the above when starting a diet plan like Nutrisystem. Surely I'm right with this assumption. If not, you must be crazy — or you just like to torture yourself =)
See the 3 things I've listed above? Well, you get none of that with Nutrisystem. Nothing. Nada. No benefits at all.
Does the Nutrisystem Diet Help You Look Better?
No. It does not.
Anyone can make before and after pictures look good with different lighting. I have a trained eye for body improvements. I can see that the people who have used Nutrisystem simply have lost a ton of muscle mass.
Losing muscle instead of body fat does not help you look better. Muscle mass looks great. Why would you want to lose it? Trust me, you don't.
Muscle mass is active tissue that works for you. You use it every day. In order to use muscle mass, you need energy. Muscle burns calories for you so you can eat more food throughout the day without getting fat.
Lose muscle and you'll gain fat later at an even faster rate.
WARNING…
Use Nutrisystem and lose muscle mass fast. Get fatter. Look worse. Period.
Does Nutrisystem Help You Feel Better?
Of course not.
The food is processed. The diet plan is very low calorie. It's not an exercise plan. The food tastes like crap. You lose active tissue in the form of muscle mass. You get fatter.
Why in the world do you think you're going to feel better using Nutrisystem? Do you think you're going to feel better because your body weight will be lighter?
You might be lighter, but your lighter because of less muscle mass. This actually makes your life harder.
You have less energy throughout the day because you're eating horrible sources of food. You need energy to feel great. The only way to get that is to eat the best sources of food — and that's definitely not what you're doing with the Nutrisystem Diet.
Does Nutrisystem Improve Your Health?
The concept is good. The idea is good. Lose weight and you become healthier, right? WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.
Eating processed foods, eating fewer calories, not exercising… Is that going to make you healthier? Nope. Not at all.
Again, weight loss does not always come in the form of body fat. Weight loss on the Nutrisystem diet comes in the form of muscle mass. Lose muscle and get unhealthy. Lose body fat and become healthier.
All Nutrisystem is doing for you is making you fatter. Fatter is not healthier.
You might look smaller in the mirror but that's because you lost muscle tissue — active tissue that helps you.
What Are You Supposed To Do Then? You Thought Nutrisystem Might be the Answer…
Hopefully, I've talked you out of the Nutrisystem diet. Don't waste your money. Don't waste your time.
What you need is a COMPLETE exercise plan. Using the plans I've already made for you on this website will lead to the 3 things that you truly want…
- A great looking body that's lean and muscular and one that makes you proud.
- A great feeling body with amazing energy levels that allows you to do what you want every day.
- A healthier body that adds years to your life so you can spend more of it with your friends and family.
Here's what you need to do instead of the dog food Nutrisystem diet…
Take up a weight lifting program to build muscle and keep muscle while you lose body fat.
Start a balanced and healthy diet that controls your fat loss results.
Perform aerobic exercise to burn body fat quickly.
Make the right choice today. Stop looking for a quick fix. Nutrisystem may give you pre packaged meals that you don't have to prepare, but…
— The meals taste like dog food.
— The meals are unhealthy.
— The diet plan is low calorie leading to muscle loss and more fat.
— Your energy levels will be lower.
— And you end up fatter.
Now get started doing everything right with the WLC System. No more excuses. You now know the way.
Bea says
Yeah, sorry bud, but the results speak for themselves. I’ve lost about 4% body fat so far on nutrisystem, and I keep my weekly workout routine. The first week is difficult but after that you will see results. I doubt you’ve ever even tried nutrisystem.
You’re just a lonely man on the internet. Get over yourself.
Josh, President of WLC says
Bea,
Yes, you are right. Keep using Nutrisystem, and you will look like Dan Marino (or other celebrity insert here). Keep up the great work. This is a very old article that I wrote, and you appear to be very knowledgeable. Maybe you could write a new article for me so we can get this right.
And yes, you are right. I am a very lonely man who tries to make everyone mad by telling them lies about Nutrisystem’s healthy and fresh food that tastes great and doesn’t look like dog food. It’s definitely not made in a factory where heavy metals and other nasty ingredients are leached into the food. There’s no way it’s the lowest quality food available that you put in your body. It’s all picked fresh from the farms and is packed with nutrients unlike real food. There’s no way it’s hurting your health.
You are on it today. Right on everything. Great work Bea. Thanks for setting this lonely man straight. What would I do without people like you? I am so happy you stopped by here today. I would be lost.

Pat says
Fast Five is the worst of it. I’m on Day 5 and it’s 4 am and am so hungry I’m getting a headache. The first week comes in a small box. Last nights dinner was some horrible tortilini w meat sauce. I ate each bite slowly but did not enjoy any of it. I would have preferred something else but the first week is chosen and I did not pick these. I had to get out of bed and eat a few bites of a nectarine just so I could sleep.
Melissa says
I tried it for three days. It was like eating cardboard . I felt like crap all day long for those three days. And my stomach went into revolt for almost three months after having eaten that crap.
Food should be eaten fresh, not packaged.
Teresa Frith says
it is full of protein, so no way in hell you can lose muscle! Each item has extra protein in it. That is laughable.
Josh says
Teresa, sounds like you think the only factor in losing muscle is if a food has protein in it. If you’re losing weight and aren’t lifting weights progressively, you will lose muscle. If you are eating cardboard food with little nutrients, then you’ll lose even more muscle.
