Anyone ever been on the Nutrisystem diet?

I have read some strategies recently; one was geared toward eating 35g of fiber daily... Another is the "Clean Eating" concept, which is basically eating fresh whole foods very often and staying far away from artificial ingredients including artificial sweeteners. Tosca Reno has put out several books & there is a magazine. There are recipes & healthy substitutions for common "bad" ingredients. I like the plan but the down side is all organic fresh foods can get a pricey, some ingredients can't be found locally but I have found some on Amazon & order in bulk. As noted in previous post for shift workers and staff nurses, grazing is a luxury.

I started Nutrisystem on August 11th. A friend of mine lost over 40lbs in a year of following the program. Back in 2005-2006 I lost 80lbs following the South Beach program overtime I drifted from those habits and gain back 70 of that in the last few years. I decided I should get back on a program since what I was doing wasn’t working.
I need things to be simple and easy to prepare and Nutrisystem is great for people who like convience. Everything is prepackaged and properly portioned. You supplement the program with Fruits and Veggies since that wouldn’t be very good prepackaged. You can either order the “Favorites” package or pick your own. I tried the “Favorites” package and found things that I definately like and also found stuff I will never order again. Everyone has their own preferences but if you are used to frozen meals from Lean Cuisine, Health Choice, etc you should have no trouble finding something you enjoy in NS.
In the 18 days that I have been on the program I have dropped 18.7 lbs doing some extra exercise on the side which is recommended but not required for success.
For those of you wanting to get an extra discount I can provide you a referral code at it will entitle you to $30 off your first order. If you are new to Nutrisystem it should work just fine. If you are coming back to the program and have been inactive for more than 4 months it should also work for you too. Here’s all that you need to do:
Email shawn_jumbo@yahoo.com and put in the memo NS Referral and I will send you a code within 24 hours. If you have more than 1 person signing up and need more than one code please let me know. This should work if you do it online or call in your first order.
I was amazed at the number of people complaining about this program I just don’t understand why it is pretty easy to follow and I don’t feel hungry at all!

Nutri System is the most discusting food I have EVER ate. It was so bad that I would rather NOT eat. I would only eat that food if I was on a deserted Island with no other alternative or starving! I ended up sending back the food. The guy at the UPS office said that they get LOTS of returns EVERY week so I know I wasn't the only one.

I didn't care for NS....lost one pound and the food tasted so bad
