Advertisement: Does the Nutrisystem Diet Work? Yes, you should lose weight because of lower calories. Most diets such as Nutrisystem work short term and usually work well. According to a 2015 study by Johns Hopkins Medicine, commercial diets have little reliable evidence that they will work long term. According to the study, commercial diets offer no benefits over a 12 month period. Nutrisystem Diet Positives: Lose weight Eat healthier Delivered to your door Almost no prep Very little planning Convenient Nutrisystem Diet Negatives: Cost may be a concern for some. Eating out is difficult. You do not learn proper weight loss skills and habits. Long term results are dismal. Once you stop, the weight is likely to return. Advertisement:  Conclusion: For some of us, losing weight is often triggered by a feeling of desperation. Nutrisystem will help you to lose weight, but your long term outlook is poor. My opinion is that you have many other choices that might suit you better. I do not give the Nutrisystem Diet a thumbs down, but since it may be expensive for some folks and lacks long term success and long term training to get you off Nutrisystem and on your own, I do not recommend that you add it to your list of weight loss options. Thank you for reading, my friends. I wish you success on your weight loss journey. Kind regards, George Pierce Founder Win At Losing Weight  Advertisement: Collagen Powder |
