Water is extremely important for weight loss, yet no one really talks about it. You should have 32 oz of water a day. And just water — that doesn’t count soda, coffee, juice, etc. Just water. When you first start drinking that much, you will find that you are visiting the men’s room an awful lot! And then it gets better. The trick it to make it habitual. Buy a water bottle that holds 32 oz, fill it up at the beginning of the day and carry it with you.

A lot of people skip or skimp on breakfast, saying “It’s not for me.” Yet it’s really is the most important meal of the day! I’ve never been a big breakfast eater myself, but with Nutrisystem I’ve had what seems like huge breakfasts! I’ve found that I’m less hungry for lunch or dinner and, therefore, eat much less.

Yogurt is also very important too. Recent studies have shown that dairy is very important to a diet and yogurt is like a concentrated dairy serving. Yogurt also contains important enzymes that you need to keep your digestion system regulated. I typically eat 1-2 servings of yogurt a day (for breakfast and then as a morning snack with an apple or some other fruit).

My wife and I have been doing Nutrisystem for about 5-6 weeks and love it! She’s lost 22 lbs and I’ve lost 20 and both of us feel great! You tend to eat smaller meals more often and a lot of fruits and vegetables with their food along with it.

Their food is a bit pricey but we found great deals on eBay and Craigslist (people who started and stopped, but still had all the food). And, with a few exceptions, the food has been very good!
