My Nutrisystem Journey and Review

A self-described serial dieter tries Nutrisystem for the first time. This is my daily journal where I document the entire experience from evaluating the plan, to purchasing the product and journey of at least the first 30 days (and maybe longer). I will be photographing all the foods and detailing my daily intake, activities, my successes and hopefully not too many failures. I hope this review will be helpful for those considering this eating plan.

Diet Day 245

Day 245 Summary

Friday April 21, 2017
Total Steps 12,120 (gym + walk)
Total Calories: 898
Water Intake: 60 oz
Weight Loss: +.2 (-27.1 lb loss total to date)

Diet Day 245 Breakfast

I had considered not starting Nutrisystem boot camp until Monday, well that is until I weighed this morning. I hopped back on the wagon first thing. Today I had a Nutrisystem Cinnamon Streusel Muffin and black coffee. Then off to the gym I went.

Diet Day 245 Morning Snack

The gym was hard as usual. I took a very small walk after. When I got back I had the scheduled Nutrisystem TurboShake in my favorite flavor, chocolate.

Diet Day 245 Lunch

The shake is decently filling but I was ready for lunch by noon. I fixed a Nutrisystem Three Cheese Chicken entree, which is a product you reconstitute with water and heat in the microwave. I had this before, it tastes pretty good when you're hungry. I need to stock up on vegetables so for now I had a few grape tomatoes with a little Bolthouse Greek Yogurt blue cheese dressing. The dressing is not really on the boot camp week plan but I have to keep this regime doable.

Diet Day 245 Afternoon Snack

The nice thing about boot camp week is there are not a lot of choices to make. This makes the process easy. My afternoon snack everyday this week will be the Nutrisystem NutriCrush Peanut Butter Chocolate Bar. I do like the flavor but the texture is odd, like little crushed bugs. A few of the Nutrisystem bars have that texture. It does hit the spot with a glass of water or coffee. I did take another walk before my snack.

Diet Day 245 Dinner

I had seven dinner meals to choose from, all MRE's, mostly my least favorite of the Nutrisystem meals. I had selected one but read the reviews so I changed my mind and put that one aside. I heated a Nutrisystem Rotini and Meatball entree. I made a quick salad with some chopped red cabbage and Belgium endive, a little, salt, pepper and less than a tablespoon of the Bolthouse Greek Yogurt blue cheese dressing. I topped my pasta with some chopped parsley and about 2 teaspoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese (not suggested for the 1st week).

Diet Day 245 Dessert/Snack

No desserts/snacks on the 7 day boot camp.

Diet Day 245 Wrap Up

I got over my 10k step goal. I was a little hungry at times but nothing serious. The calories for this week will be around 900 - 1000 a day. I got almost all my water in, 60 out of 64 ounces, so close. Nutrisystem suggests you lay low on exercise this first week but I'll strive towards 10k steps. I'll let you know how hungry I am in the morning.
