The program is easy to follow: You’ll receive a printed guide in your first shipment that shows you exactly what and when to eat! You can also download the FREE, easy-to-use NuMi® Weight Loss App or go to NuMi.com to take your Nutrisystem meal plan with you, wherever you go.

On Nutrisystem, you can lose weight eating the foods you love, made healthier. So what does that mean?

The Nutrisystem program meets, or in many cases exceeds, most of the recommendations set forth by the government in the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Our plans are designed to include:

  • The right mix of nutrients to fuel your body
  • Plenty of healthy, lean protein
  • High fiber to help keep you feeling fuller, longer
  • Low-glycemic carbs to stabilize blood sugar
  • No artificial sweeteners or flavors

Regular physical activity is an important component to lifelong weight management and overall health. Even if you don’t live an active lifestyle, Nutrisystem makes it easy to incorporate light exercise into your daily routine.

We recommend starting with 3 quick, 10-minute activity sessions per day. Yes, walking counts! That way, you can reap the benefits of regular exercise without making a 30-minute commitment all at once.

Sneak 10 minutes of activity before work, 10 minutes at lunch and 10 minutes after work. Or, if it works better with your schedule, spread your activity sessions throughout the evening—whatever works for you!

Note: Vigorous physical activity is not recommended during your first week. Consult with your doctor before engaging in any kind of physical activity.

Clinical studies of the Nutrisystem program show that the average customer loses about 1-2 pounds per week. This is considered healthy and sustainable weight loss, which is exactly what you want. However, general science says that even losing a half a pound per week is good!

Typically, weight loss is quicker in the beginning as the body adjusts to reduced calories. Over time, your body wants to fight back.

Remember, our bodies like to stay in balance and that can make it more challenging to lose weight the longer you are on the plan. That doesn’t mean you should give up or that the plan isn’t working anymore. That’s exactly what your body wants you to think! It just means you recognize it and need to make some adjustments.

That’s why your plan is powered by NuMi SmartAdapt®: The science-based app tool that optimizes your daily calorie goals based on your progress and your metabolism. There’s even a “plateau-buster” mode designed to help you identify and avoid weight loss plateaus.
