What Is the Nutrisystem Diet
"Nutrisystem is a low-calorie weight loss program that offers balanced, easy-to-prepare meals, and controls calories by making the meal portions small," says Molly Kimball, RD, a sports dietitian at the Ochsner Health System's Elmwood Fitness Center in New Orleans. How Does Nutrisystem Work
Nutrisystem meals are premade and engineered to deliver only a certain amount of calories per day based on your sex and age. Carbohydrates, which make up much of the diet, are mostly low-glycemic. That means they are the type of carbohydrates that break down slowly and help control your appetite.

Certain people, like busy moms and professionals, may appreciate the prepped food as one less thing to think about during the day. What’s more, though you get prepackaged meals, you’re encouraged to add healthy fresh foods into the mix, and adding more fruits and veggies will expand the range of nutrients and fill-you-up fiber you’re consuming every day.

Are There Any Risks to Following Nutrisystem
While there aren’t necessarily health risks, there are negatives. While Nutrisystem's menu offerings sound delicious, not everyone is going to enjoy the taste of a mostly packaged food diet indefinitely, and as a rule of thumb, whole, fresh foods are generally healthier than those that come in a paper box or plastic wrapping.More on Weight Loss

The reality: maybe not. Remember that you’re eating lower-calorie versions of favorite foods, and these items as they exist in the real world — burgers, muffins, pancakes — don’t come with the built-in portion- and calorie-control of prepackaged meals.

Nutrisystem Short- and Long-Term Effects
You may lose weight in the short term, but long term, it’s not clear if you will be able to maintain those results. Says Kimball: “Nutrisystem is a good quick fix for weight loss, but not a substitute for a long-term healthy diet plan. Eventually you need to educate yourself about nutrition and understand how to make your own healthy choices."
How to Get Started on Nutrisystem
