First and formost I want you to know I am recieving no money from any of these programs this is strictly my thoughts and opinions from my own personal experience. I have researched several of the programs where you buy prepackaged foods such as Jenny Criag or Nutrisystem I personally don't recomend them. Don't get me wrong for all intense purposes I would have to say they work and if you follow the program you will see results....But in my opinion its really exspensive and not very practical. the price is around what I spent for a family of three for a whole month and it only feeds one person. When I mentioned that to the representative they said well once you are eating our products you won't need to conitue to buy groceries. And that I should look at it as switching my grocery bill from the grocery store to them.
The only problem with that was unless I allow my childern to starve then yes I would still have to buy groceries. I was just not able to spend that kind of money on just enough food for me. But I do realize that is not an issue for everyone. Unfortunatly that isn't the only problem I found with them most of there meals are frozen dinners which takes up a large amount of space in your freezer so unless you have a deep freeze your going to have a problem. I mean who has that kind of room in there freezer right? And the portion sizes are very small not to say that you won't have to get use to smaller portions but there are programs that are quite as bad. And personally that was an issue for me I do not want to feel deprived.
As for Nutrisystem, I had the benifit of actually being able to speak to someone who did the Nutrisystem program and there are some thing that if they are true are very distrubing to me so much so that even though I am unsure if they are true I still feel justified in bring them up just so any of you who are considering this particular program can keep it in mind and are perpared to ask plenty of questions about it before agreeing to anything. Now what I am speaking of is she claimed that they are constantly trying to sell you supplements and that they are very very good at making it seem like you are wasting your time if you don't buy them.
Now just between me, you and my Doctor, most if not all of these types of thing are completely unnecessary. According to my Doctor nothing more than a good multi vitamin (that you can buy for yourself at your local Dept. store) should be required with any healthy diet program. But by all means don't take my word for it discussing it with your own Doctor it is something I strongly suggest for anyone starting a new weight loss program anyway.And from what I was told these supplements are very exspensive. But they have that cover as well they offer a credit card to supposedly help you out with that. Well the lady I spoke to claimed to have gotten into thousands of dollars of debt before she realized the credit card had an interest rate that, well to be blunt damn near broke her before she had a clue
Always listen to what your common sence tells you. If something does seem right then more times then not it isn't. And my thoughts on those types of situations are its better to be safe than sorry....There are ton's of get thin quick scams out there I am sure your aware of. So I'm sure you know to stay away from programs that tell you all you have to do is take a pill or aply some cream and it will turn you slim and trim in no time...(Along with a healthy well balanced diet and exercise routine...lol)...That your better off to go with the program that actually emphasizes the healthy diet and exercise rountine since that is the only real way to lose wieght and keep it off.
And yes even if you get them from your doctor. I did the perscription diet pills and "yes" I lost wieght but they were exspensive and the min I stopped talking them I started gaining the pounds back and they brought some firends with them so I actually ended up bigger than I had been before hand. So just keep that in mind cause it is the same story from everyone I have spoken to who ever went that route. Well I hope you have found some of this helpful and I wish you all the luck...........You'll be hearing from me again soon
