A truly balanced food plan doesn’t have to feel—or taste—like a diet
Nutrisystem Success is the result of decades of weight loss research. Designed using the nutritional guidelines of national health organizations and supported by leading experts in obesity, Nutrisystem Success is the perfect balance of structure and convenience.
The foundation of all Nutrisystem programs is healthy, portion-controlled foods. Nutrisystem meal plans provide approximately 55-60% of the calories from low-glycemic carbohydrates; 20-25% of the calories from protein; and 20-25% of the calories from fat.
All Nutrisystem Success meal plans include 4 essential elements for a streamlined, powered up nutritional profile for ultimate satisfaction and hunger control:
- Low glycemic index—foods with a low glycemic index are digested slowly and play an important role in stabilizing blood sugar. They also promote satiety (fullness) and help your body burn calories more efficiently.
- Protein rich—protein is an essential nutrient for retaining muscle mass, which is critical for optimal calorie burning. It also helps you feel fuller longer after eating and in between meals.
- SmartCarbs—low-glycemic, nutrient-rich carbohydrates that help you feel satisfied longer. They provide you with essential vitamins, minerals, fiber and other important nutrients.
- PowerFuels—high-quality proteins with essential amino acids and healthy fats derived from nuts. They’re digested slowly to help you fight hunger and promote good muscle tone.
Along with your deliciously healthy Nutrisystem meals, you’ll incorporate your own fresh grocery foods from four easy-to-follow categories to complete a well-rounded diet. These include:
- Non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, and tomatoes.
- SmartCarbs like whole grain rice, pasta, and cereals, fresh fruit, and starchy vegetables such as beans, peas, corn and potatoes.
- PowerFuels like eggs, lean meats, fish, shellfish, fat-free milk, low-fat yogurt, and nuts.
- Extras like salt-free spices and seasonings, low-sodium broths, calorie-free beverages, and air popped popcorn.
