NutriSystem for Men
The Gist: This plan aims to get you to eat four or five small meals per day by delivering pre-packaged, pre-portioned meals that contain low-glycemic-index carbs that produce small vs. large fluctuations in blood glucose and insulin levels. Average weight loss is about one to two pounds per week.
Pros: Snacking throughout the day is encouraged — and you get ice cream sandwiches. Meal plans are tailored to different age groups and those who are vegetarians or have diabetes. There’s no counting, weighing, measuring or meeting involved — and there’s a money-back guarantee within the first week. Also, if you need advice, you can get a counselor on the phone at no additional cost.
Cons: Do you like lean TV dinners and plastic-wrapped entrees? Because that’s mostly what you’re eating — for nearly $300 a month. Spontaneity is low to nil. Dining out often isn’t productive. You pick all your meals in advance and your snack from a recommended list of grocery items. Also, if you’re anti-carbs or allergic to gluten, this isn’t for you.
