Nutrisystem Diet FoodThe Nutrisystem diet food is based on the low Glycemic Index. What this means is that foods contain "good" and "bad" carbs. The foods for the Nutrisystem programs are high in the "good" carbs, which take longer to digest and help keep your blood sugar levels stable. They are also high in protein, and low in calories and saturated fats so that they meet the requirements of the American Heart Association. They are prepared by dieticians and tested in the Nutrisystem labs. When they arrive to your door, they are prepackaged in just the right portions for a meal. Nutrisystem offers different programs depending on your age and medical needs. There is a program for those with diabetes, as well as programs for men and women over 60. These are the Silver programs. There are also regular diet programs for men and women as well as a special program for vegetarians. Thus, there is no one diet food that meets everyone's needs. When you join this program, you can order your food from the website and have it delivered right to your door. Since you do have to buy other foods to supplement your diet, the meal planner you receive also includes a weekly shopping list. There are also guidelines for what you should add to each meal and tips for preparing some recipes of your own. On this program, you should eat five times a day. For breakfast, you choose one of the breakfast entrees, and add a protein serving and a fruit serving. For lunch, again there is a lunch entre, but you can add a dairy or protein serving along with s salad with low fat dressing. For dinner, choose an entre and add two vegetables, a salad or fruit and one fat serving. The diet food consists of prepackaged entrees, powders, bars, and snacks. Some of the different types of foods you can enjoy include green pepper steak with rice, scrambled eggs, and sausage with wild rice. The foods don't need any special storage, so you can keep them in your cupboard. |
