Becoming a mom has been the greatest experience of my life so far. Who knew that raising a tiny little being could bring such indescribable joy? And while I’ve certainly loved every second with my new little girl, I have to admit that I didn’t expect certain changes to take place. I thought being a SAHM would be fun all the time and relatively easy, but, man, was I so wrong.
I started to feel that I had completely let myself go once I began craving easy-to-eat junk, which kept my baby weight around longer than I would’ve liked. Try as I might, I just couldn’t get back into my normal routine of cooking made-from-scratch meals and staying relatively trim.
So, this gal turned to Nutrisystem to save the day. Here, I’ll share my experience with Nutrisystem and how it got me back on track with my diet and my life.
Flavorful & filling meals
First things first – I needed a meal plan that wouldn’t sacrifice flavor for fat loss. I wanted to follow a plan that would allow me to eat some of my favorite foods while losing weight. I was relieved to find out that Nutrisystem offers tons of delicious meals that have balanced macronutrient profiles and taste just like classic favorites. The Hearty Inspirations® meals are big and filling and control hunger for hours. From yummy breakfasts like Savory Maple Womelet to filling dinners like Grain-Crusted Pollock with Vegetables, I was eating way better than I was before Nutrisystem!
Better yet, there were dozens of delicious options to choose from for each meal. And the cherry on top was that I didn’t have to worry about calories or macros, as each meal contained no more than 450 calories and offered a generous amount of protein and carbs with minimal fat.
The process
Once I ordered my box, it came to my home within a matter of days. I received both a box of non-perishables and an eco-friendly cooler containing frozen meals. Everything is easy to prepare. And in most cases, meals were ready to eat in 10 minutes or less. Some meals, including many breakfasts and snacks, were ready to eat directly out of the package. Talk about convenience!
My current meal plan consists of 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner, and 1 snack each day, and I haven’t been hungry at all. I’m also able to pair my meal plan with NuMi®, Nutrisystem's top-rated weight loss app, so that I can record my daily food and activity while tracking my progress – a major plus!
Gone are the days of struggling to buy individual ingredients at the store and having to throw a full meal together. Now I can rely on my meals being shipped to my house every 4 weeks fully cooked, and ready to heat. I can’t tell you how much time this has saved me over the last few weeks – I’ve used this extra time to tidy up my house, get that quick shower in, and even throw in some 15-minute workouts at home as well.
My results
I’m ecstatic at how quickly I’ve begun to lose the extra weight I had gained a few months post-birth and I’m starting to feel like my old self again. A lot of us new moms want to bounce back as quickly as possible, but I wanted to do this in a healthy and sustainable way, so I chose Nutrisystem. Since that start date, I’ve lost around 10 pounds and counting. Nutrisystem has helped me streamline my life and I couldn't be more thankful that Nutrisystem lets me focus on both my daughter and my self-care!
