The Truth About NutriSystem

NutriSystem is a diet and weight loss program that claims like many others before it to be the easiest way to lose weight, it also claims to be different from any other weight loss program because it focuses on the Glycemic Index, which for people like you and me means sugar in the blood.

Some Carbohydrates contain sugars that break down slowly in the bloodstream and others contain sugars that break down fast, The NutriSystem Program believes that the sugars in your bloodstream that breakdown too quickly are bad for you and they cause a spike in the levels of your bodies Insulin levels and they cause your body to store fat, and they make you feel hungry soon after eating.

Slower burning sugars keep your blood sugar levels even and this helps to break down fats, it also helps to beat off the feeling of hunger.

The NutriSystem is based around The slower burning sugars, it is a low Glycemic diet topped up with protiens and fiber which is low fat and it provides all of your nutritional needs.

Recently there have been a few complaints about NutriSystem, but not because people have not lost weight, the complaints were centered on the food packs, mainly stating that the foods were bland, that there was very little flavour and that there is very little variety in the choice of foodstuffs provided in the packs.The complaints also stated that the foods tasted very salty.
