Nutrisystem Update Week 18: Mythbusting Edition

taste myth

We’ve been so busy enjoying our food and progress on Nutrisystem, that we hadn’t even noticed that there are some big-time myths and misconceptions floating around out there about the program.

I only discovered this because I was on YouTube today checking out some of the videos other people have done to show off their weight loss success stories and saw a new one called Nutrisystem Mythbusting. I guess the hubby and I are also Nutrisystem Mythbusters, since we’ve been living the program for over 4 months now and sharing weekly updates with you about our experiences!

Here are just some of the myths the video exposes:

Myth: You can’t enjoy the foods you love on Nutrisystem.
Truth: There are 150+ foods to choose from including pizza, pasta, cheesecake and more.

Myth: Nutrisystem food is too expensive
Truth: You can save over 25% versus eating on your own.

Myth: The people in Nutrisystem ads are paid actors.
Truth: The ads only feature people who have truly found weight loss success using Nutrisystem.

Myth: Nutrisystem doesn’t offer one-on-one counseling or support.
Truth: Nutrisystem has trained weight loss counselors, nutritionists and diabetes educators.

Nutrisystem Valentines Treat

Valentine’s Day is coming, and since the hubby and I are doing the Nutrisystem program together, we’ve been planning ahead for how to celebrate while still staying on track with our weight loss.

Dieting might not seem like the most romantic topic for a Valentine’s Day post, but one of the things we love about being on the plan is that we’re doing it together and we’re having fun with it! Instead of our usual update, we’ve put together a special list of some of our favorite Nutrisystem foods and desserts to plan the perfect day of romantic meals:

Breakfast in Bed

Ham And Cheese Omelet

Hubby’s favorite is the Turkey Bam & Cheese omelet, while mine is the Garden Veggie one. We get both with our frozen food order, so we trade off. Instead of Mimosas, make fancy glasses of sparkling water with just a splash of fresh squeezed OJ for a low-cal cocktail and enjoy breakfast in bed!

Spicy Kung Pao Noodles for Lunch

Spice things up for lunch with Nutrisystem’s new Kung Pao Noodles! I like to make a side of steamed baby bok choy with just a tiny bit of hoisin sauce and crushed peanuts on top to make the meal feel extra special. Using chopsticks is fun and helps you to eat more slowly, too.

Comfort Food for Dinner

For most men, one sure way to win their heart is with good old-fashioned comfort food! The hubs is no exception, so I’m planning to make  Nutrisystem’s Chicken Pot Pie. I’m still trying to decide on the perfect side to go along with it so let me know if you have a suggestion. I’m thinking roasted brussels sprouts since we both love those, or maybe a fancy salad with strawberries and spinach.
