I am now on day 12…down 6 pounds. I have LOVED this diet so far and loved the food. I had oatmeal yesterday and I found it to be good! I think a diet is what you make of it and how bad you want to actually do it. This is a DIET…don’t give up. Tell yourself that you CAN do it!

Nutrisystems apparently doesn’t feel responsible for their advertising copy but says their internal policy takes precedence. Their guarantee says unequivocally “must return at least two weeks of food for full refund.” Their customer service responds that their policy is different,all but one week.

After wading through voicemail trees six times,I have asked for someone who doesn’t speak from a script to return my call, never to receive a return call. They’ve finally wore me down. Customer service is not a feature of any concern unless it means stacking the revenue.

That is unfortunate. I agree, how can you mess up oatmeal? Too bad, because I know people lose weight with the program. I wonder if all the celebrities get the same meals as us regular folk.

DON’T GO ON NUTRI SYSTEM — BEWARE SEIZURE PATIENTS!!! I went on nutri System D in hopes of losing weight & reducing my blood sugar levels. Three weeks into the program I had HEART PALPITATIONS, GRAND MAL SEIZURE AND SERVERAL SMALLER SEIZURE TO FOLLOW. Before the health problems started, I did lose some weight. However, if I could do it all over again, I would just get a reduce calorie meal plan and work with it to lose weight. THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE FOOD THAT AGGRAVATED MY (5YRS.)CONTROLLED SEIZURES. After being admitted to the hospital for seizures and cardiac issues I ended up with over $30K in medical bills, (HEART CATH, EEGS & ANY OTHER TEST U CAN THINK OF). Is this pain and suffering or what? I have appealed to Nutri System for reimbursement of the money spent on products and at least 20% of medical bill fees, and guess what, they couldn’d care less. They have continued to give me the run-around. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

Good luck to you. NutriSystem works for many people. It was just a disaster for me.

i have been on the program for a week, i have only come across 1 thing that was bad, but because i have committed to this program financailly and mentally, i am determined to eat what is there. the hearty beef stew was pretty bad, yet, i ate it, not because i wanted to but because it was the only thing i had brought with me to work, it was edible, but nothing to look forward to. today i had the fajitas, they were very good, i added some fresh corn and 1 oz of shredded cheese, yum.

I actually thought that NutriSystem was a pretty good plan. The problem is not the food it is their total disregard for the folks and they only care about their profit. They should make a profit. Unfortunately my experience is that they disrespect the elderly and disabled. When I complained about a delivery, They ignored me. I am sure they have done the same with others

I just started NS 4 days ago. I love it because not only do I not have to cook, I like the food. I thought it wsa going to taste like those cheap soup dishes. I love the black beans and rice and the red bean and I think it came with rice. I also love the double chocolate chip pudding. Yeah the oatmeal is a loose-loose situation, but I like the apple oatmeal bars on the go in the car and the apple scone was a real treat this weekend. Where can you get a pastry type entre on a diet? I woke up this morning and after 4 days had lost 3 pounds. I recommend this program to anyone, even if it just gets you going to find the right foods to eat for you. It’s the only thing that got me to exercise. It’s so easy to do. You have so many different kinds of exercise to do: walking, the DVD it comes with, the exercise pamphlet, etc. Give it a try!

I couldn’t agree with you more, James. Back in July I finally made a long-term commitment and joined Weight Watchers. I eat real food, and I’m committed to changing my bad habits and making a lifestyle change. So far I’ve lost 20 pounds, and I see light at the end of the long tunnel of a lifetime of worrying about my weight. Good luck to you.

Just about all of the NS food is terrible. I was on it for a month and am convinced most of my weight loss was because I could not eat the food. I got sick (literally) when I opened up the entrees. My advice is to get off of this program until the food is changed.
