Is It Possible To Lose 100 Pounds On Nutrisystem
I often hear from people who ask me questions meant to ascertain if nutrisystem would be a good diet for them given their particular circumstances. Sometimes those circumstances are personal preferences (like for people who are vegetarians.) And sometimes they are related to health (like for people who have diabetes.) Other times, people ask me about a certain situation as it relates to their weight loss.
I recently heard from someone who asked in part: "according to my calculations, I have around 125 pounds to lose. I don't want to do anything drastic and I want to lose this weight at a healthy, lasting pace with only diet and exercise. But I'm not sure how realistic this is. Would nutrisystem be good for me or is it designed only for people who need to lose a little bit of weight?"
To my knowledge, there are no weight ranges or limitations on nutrisystem. In other words, it can work for someone who has to lose only five pounds to lose and it works the same way for someone who needs to lose 100 pounds. Granted, the more weight you have to lose, the longer you can expect to be on the diet. But whether you have a little to lose or a lot, the diet works in the same way. You're eating 5 small meals per day. You're taking in around 1200 - 1500 calories. And you are eating meals that are modified to be "glycemic friendly." What this means is that the foods are low in carbohydrates but high in protein and fiber. This makes you feel full faster and for longer periods of time and encourages your body to burn fat instead of the carbs that you are limiting.
The idea is that all of this hopefully adds up to sustained weight loss. Most estimates place the ranges at 2 - 3 pounds per week. That doesn't change depending on your weight when you start. It's the same for every one. So smaller folks aren't just automatically assumed to lose more and larger folks aren't assumed to lose less or vice verse. And, as long as you remain on the diet, you should continue to have results. (Hitting plateaus are not uncommon, but this is often just a temporary set back with your normal pace resuming relatively quickly.)
As you can imagine, it takes a while to lose 100 pounds and this is probably true no matter what diet you chose. If you were on the high range and lost an average of 3 pounds per week, you are looking at around 9 months to meet your goals. The good news is that you're not doing any thing drastic that isn't sustainable for the long term. And that's not so long to wait for an entirely new body. Plus, at least with nutrisystem, you're getting to eat foods that don't always make you feel like you're dieting, like pizza, wraps, paninis, ice cream sundaes, pancakes, and chocolate cake to name only a few. And if you just keep putting one step in front of the other week after week, your results should add up to eventually meet your goal.
