This post is brought to you in partnership with Nutrisystem. <\/em><\/p>\n

Losing weight isn\u2019t easy, but keeping it off is even harder. So if you\u2019re looking for a program that helps you shed unwanted pounds and turns healthy changes into permanent habits, look no further than Nutrisystem<\/a>. \u201cNutrisystem is a reduced calorie program that\u2019s high in protein and fiber to help keep you feeling full throughout the day,\u201d says Courtney McCormick, MPH, RDN, LDN, corporate dietitian for Nutrisystem.<\/p>\n

Nutrisystem offers three different meal plans: At the basic level, you\u2019ll receive pre-selected, ready-to-eat meals. Upgrade to the core program, and you\u2019ll get access to nutrition counseling and tools and trackers to help you stay accountable. Want more? Try the Uniquely Yours plan, which gives you everything from the core program, plus unlimited frozen foods.<\/p>\n

If you have a busy schedule and don\u2019t have time for meal prep<\/a>, why not make Nutrisystem your personal chef? All of your meals and snacks come right to your door, so all you have to do is click order. Interested in learning more? Here are five more reasons the program works, and why you should sign up today.<\/p>\n

1. You get healthy, well-balanced meals.<\/h3>\n

No matter which Nutrisystem plan<\/a> you sign up for, you\u2019ll get healthy, balanced meals with just the right portion<\/a> of protein, fiber, carbohydrates and fat.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile you\u2019re losing weight, you\u2019re also learning how to recognize appropriate portion sizes, which is an important component of keeping the weight off once you\u2019ve met your goal,\u201d McCormick says. With your first Nutrisystem order, you\u2019ll receive a four-week plan that includes delicious meals and snacks, plus guidance on how to incorporate flexibility into your meal plan<\/a> through the addition of one flex breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack each week. You prepare these flex meals at home to help set you on the right path to clean eating<\/a>. \u201cWe provide guidance on what these meals should look like to ensure you\u2019re learning how to make healthier choices,\u201d McCormick says.<\/p>\n

2. You won\u2019t feel deprived.<\/h3>\n

Pasta, pizza, chocolate cake. You can have it all \u2014 just in moderation and with the right portion sizes, of course. \u201cWe make sure you\u2019re getting healthier versions of your favorite foods, while ensuring they\u2019re made with whole grains, fiber and protein,\u201d McCormick says. The program aligns with the USDA dietary guidelines and limits added sugars to less than 10 percent of your daily calories. If you\u2019re a snacker, Nutrisystem offers a selection of bars and shakes, but you can also prepare your own flex snack at home. \u201cYou incorporate three snacks into your day. These can be Nutrisystem snacks or grocery food add-ins, like fruit, low-fat dairy and lean proteins,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

3. You don\u2019t have to count calories.<\/h3>\n

Since Nutrisystem<\/a> is a reduced calorie program, your daily meal plan will have a 1,000-1,500 calorie range. All meal plans will meet this calorie requirement, so you don\u2019t have to think about what you can and can\u2019t enjoy. Have an allergy or dietary restriction? \u201cWe have a staff of trained weight loss counselors and dietary service representatives that can help people customize plans for certain dietary restrictions,\u201d McCormick says. People also have the option to customize their meal plan to a 1,500 mg per day sodium plan if they\u2019re watching their salt intake, she says.<\/p>\n

4. Your family can enjoy Nutrisystem meals, too.<\/h3>\n

Good news: You don\u2019t have to be a short-order cook. Thanks to flex meals, you can enjoy dinner out or prepare a healthy one at home. Nutrisystem has a helpful weight loss blog, The Leaf<\/a>, that\u2019s home to hundreds of healthy recipes that fit with their weight loss plans so you never have to go it alone. The Leaf also has a Dining Out Guide that breaks down how to enjoy dinners out with your family and friends without falling off track.<\/p>\n

Nutrisystem<\/a> also offers foods a la carte if you want to purchase additional meals for your significant other and kids. And the foods look and taste a lot like what you\u2019re accustomed to \u2015 no cardboard diet food here. So if the gang wants lasagna for dinner, you can make the usual dish and then pop your Nutrisystem lasagna entr\u00e9e in your microwave. That way, you can all enjoy a lasagna dinner together. \u201cThe great thing is that it doesn\u2019t require a lot of additional work to enjoy a similar food with your family,\u201d McCormick says.<\/p>\n

5. You\u2019ll get support even after you\u2019ve reached your goal. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your journey to better health doesn\u2019t end at the scale. Keeping the pounds off is a challenge itself. That\u2019s why Nutrisystem offers a variety of transition and maintenance plans to help you prepare your own healthy, homemade meals. \u201cFor example, we have a \u2018Just Lunches and Snacks\u2019 plan that provides lunches and snacks, and guides the customer on how to incorporate their own perfectly portioned breakfasts and dinners,\u201d McCormick says. You can also reach out to weight loss counselors via phone or email. McCormick adds, \u201cThe counselors can offer individualized support to help customers overcome a weight loss plateau.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nutrisystem also has a free tracking app, NuMi, that helps hold users accountable during and after their weight loss journey. With NuMi, you can log your food, weight, water and activity every day. Plus, you\u2019ll get fresh weight loss tips and recipes tailored to you, so you\u2019ll never fall off the wagon.<\/p>\n
