Can We Talk About Diet Programs? By S.C. Wynne
Morning everyone!
I'm going to GRL this year and I feel pressure to be my very best. I've been looking at diet plans out of curiosity. I've always been someone who kind of did it on my own. I love juicing, it gives me lots of energy and it is effective at losing pounds. But it gets a little monotonous after a while. I've been juicing for a long time now so I'm ready to try something new.
I was looking at Nutrisystem or maybe the South Beach diet meal delivery services. I think what I love about both plans is obviously the convenience. I don't want to think about or be consumed with thoughts of food. I just want to have something to eat that is good for me and low calorie without having to weigh stuff, count calories or cook something. Yes, I'm lazy in that way. lol Mostly because I am always busy. Mostly.
I like the idea that the South Beach diet is lower carb. I feel better when I don't eat carbs, or at least too many carbs. Nutrisystem assures it's customers it uses smart carbs. Not sure if that's true or not, but that's what they say.
I think I lean toward the Nutrisystem program over South Beach because the foods are more regular. The snacks are things like low calorie popcorn or cheese puffs. I think that when your calories are hugely restricted, as they will be on either of these plans, you crave those familiar comfort foods like popcorn and pizzas. So long as the program controls the fat and portions, I figure it's a win, win. I'll get the flavor but not the fat.
One thing I don't like about Nutrisystem is I feel like they try to trick you on pricing. A lot of review sites have affiliate links. The blogs sort of mislead consumers. They show the plans and break out the pricing per day, but then they say "Hey, use my link and save 40%." Sounds awesome, but the truth is the price they already told you WAS with the 40%. I find that shifty. Why not say here is the pricing after the 40% has been applied? That would be more on the up and up. But even with that, I will say there is a LOT of positive stuff about Nutrisystem out there on the net. There's lots of negative too. But they've been around for 40 years, so they must be doing something right. Or... they're the best PR machine in the world?
All that being said, I did try buying one of the plans today and their site was so screwed up it wouldn't go through. Is that a sign? Is the universe trying to tell me not to go with them? I guess I'll see if thing work tomorrow. If not, I will probably consider that an omen and stay away! lol
