I guess if you look at it in terms of pounds lost, smaller
clothing worn, and lifestyle changes, most would consider my Nutrisystem
journey to be a success. I have lost most of the weight that I wanted
to lose and have kept it off. And, I'm reasonably confident that I will
be able to maintain this and not regain the weight. I also look at food
in a much more healthy and less obsessive way.
So, the other day, a coworker asked me what my secret was. Because, she knew someone else who had been on this diet who had not had the same sort of lasting success. I think that she suspected that I skipped meals or didn't add in the sides with each meal or was exercising in a way that was dangerous or unhealthy. None of these things was true. There might be a few things that have helped contribute to my success. I'll let you decide if you want to call them "secrets" or not. But, I'll share them in the following article.
Is The "Friendly Glycemic Index" The Secret To Nutrisystem?: Most experts will tell you that this diet is mostly effective because the carb to calorie to protein ratio of the foods that they give you are such that they encourage ketosis. This makes your body burn more fat for fuel since it doesn't have free reign on continuous carbs (that you likely had been providing previously.)
