When it comes to our nutrition goals, my husband and I couldn’t be more different. He’s a carnivore who loves his high-intensity CrossFit workouts. I’m a flexitarian who enjoys a soothing yoga or Pilates workout… but mostly my favorite activity is channel-surfing! Finding a meal plan that would meet both of our nutritional needs was a nightmare – until we tried Nutrisystem.
Surprisingly, this is the first diet where we both agree on many things. For starters, my husband is obsessed with how easy it is to plan his daily meals. He really enjoys that he can eat a ton of different foods, knowing he’s meeting his nutritional needs.
On my end, the Nutrisystem meal plan felt like a gift sent from the diet fairy. I could mix and match different meals and didn’t have to worry about cooking two separate dishes. I love a small, simple dinner, whereas my husband prefers something more elaborate. Now, instead of cooking two dinners, he can choose his meals, and I pick mine! Here’s how Nutrisystem is helping my husband and I align our meals, all while enjoying real-deal weight loss.
No more grocery shopping
It can become overwhelming to buy groceries for two different meal plans–I was exhausted from going to the grocery store every other day. With Nutrisystem, we can get our meals, snacks, and protein shakes delivered to our doorstep. We each lead really busy lives, so having these meals show up at our home is pretty fantastic.
Guided dieting is life-changing
We’ve tried diets and meal plans, but nothing compares to Nutrisystem. Having home-delivered meals and snacks with convenient color-coded packaging was seriously life-changing. Thanks to the guidance and tips available in the NuMi® weight loss app, we felt this was a comprehensive plan that also helped us to better understand our eating habits!
According to Nutrisystem, you can get a full month of meals for less than you would spend at a grocery store. In fact, plans start around $10 a day per person. You can even get their Hearty Inspirations® meals: They’re big, filling and control hunger for hours. Some of my favorites include the Asian-Style Salmon, creamy Pasta Parmesan with Chicken, and delectable snacks like Orange Cream Bars. Yum!
Chef-like meals in minutes
We both want to emphasize how blown away we are by the flavor of these meals. After trying so many different diet plans and meal-delivery services, Nutrisystem really takes the cake. Each meal was surprisingly delicious, from breakfast to dinner (and everything in between). We even found a new line of meals that we can enjoy together. They’re called Made for Two meals. We get two portions in one convenient package, which is great on nights when we are short on time. Less mess, less waste and less prep for us both!
My husband kept talking about our “at-home restaurant” because it genuinely felt like we had ordered takeout most days! It was interesting to try each meal because they truly are restaurant-like, so we never felt deprived. My husband was over the moon when he saw we had chocolate popsicles and ice cream sandwiches in our plan!
The ultimate diet plan for both of us
I had no idea what to expect with Nutrisystem, but it blew me and my husband’s expectations out of the water! We were surprised that we never felt hungry while following the plan… the meals really are perfectly portioned! My husband also really appreciated the app’s SmartAdapt feature, so he was confident he was getting the necessary calories and macros, without having to keep track.
In the end, the endless array of options tailored to our individual needs made Nutrisystem a slam dunk for both of us. Even after a couple of days of following the diet plan, we both felt lighter, with no more bloating and no more arguing over what to eat. Of course, my husband (like many men) immediately lost his first two pounds! As for me, I don’t feel as tight in my favorite jeans as before.
Eating healthier really showed us the value of putting ourselves first. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on takeout and feeling like crap after overindulging, we can now follow a healthier lifestyle with delicious, ready-to-eat meals that taste just as good (if not better) than takeout. We both agree that Nutrisystem is a more-than-a-diet life hack–I already got my mom and dad to sign up! They can thank me later!
