Weight Loss/Maintenance

If Nutri-System works for for you then great. I agree with one of the other posters. Make sure you find a way to transition out of the diet and back onto other healthy food when you are done with Nutri-System. I have struggled a long time with my weight. I think I have finally found what works for me. I have added a ton of vegetables to my diet. I add asparagus and bell peppers to my eggs. I eat a salad before lunch and dinner. I have a bowl of mixed fruits and vegetables for a snack. It helps to fill me up so that I don't eat as much bread, pasta, rice, and junk food. If I have a craving for something like candy or cookies, I allow myself to have some, but I watch my portion size and I eat it with my meal so I feel full and the protein, and vegetable in my meal help make sure that the candy or cookies don't make my blood sugar spike. I'm trying to change the way I feel about food. I try to look at the food I eat as a way to give my body the nutrients and energy it needs. I have a gene that puts me at risk of breast and ovarian cancer, so I view vegetables as a way to prevent cancer. Also, I try not to freak out if I give into a craving and eat something sweet. If I make sure the majority of food I eat is nutritious then a small sweet treat every once and a while is not going to hurt me. I have lost 30 lbs in 5 months. Whatever program you try, just remember why you are doing it. You are worth it. Love yourself. Commit to loving yourself enough to take care of yourself. And also love yourself enough not to beat yourself up if you slip and eat something you're not suppose to. No guilt. Just start fresh the next day. Good luck.
