6. You’re Always Accountable
One of the top characteristics of the participants in the National Weight Control Registry—a long-term medical study of people who’ve lost 30 pounds or more and kept it off for more than a year—is that they weigh themselves regularly. It helps them stay accountable, not to mention able to get rid of any creeping weight gain while it’s still small and manageable. With Nutrisystem, you not only have your personal counselor, you have NuMi, an app that makes it a cinch to track everything you eat and drink, as well as your weight loss and workouts. You also have Nutrisystem’s official weight loss blog, The Leaf, which provides hundreds of scientifically vetted tips for safe weight loss.
It’s not the “food police,” but it’s still a super easy way to stay on track. The benefit: One study found that accountability was critical to the success of the women they studied—women who’d lost a significant amount of weight on an 18-week diet and exercise program. In fact, those who didn’t have at least one other person to be accountable to were more likely to regain the weight they lost.
7. You Learn Lifelong Skills
One of the biggest benefits of the Nutrisystem® meal plan is that as you lose weight, you gain knowledge and confidence. If you stay connected with your weight loss counselors and visit the official weight loss blog regularly, you’ll pick up scientifically vetted tips to make weight loss—and, even more important, weight maintenance—easier. You’ll have a handle on eating out, snacking and how to get back on track after a “bad diet day.” Creating your own “Flex Meals” following Nutrisystem guidelines will help make meal planning and prep second nature when you eventually leave the prepackaged meals behind. Portion control? Easy-peasy. You’ve been studying and practicing it for weeks and months. Best of all, when you reach your goal weight, you’ll have all the confidence that victory brings with it. Your fight chant? “I’ve got this!”
