I order 1 set of meals. Didnt request to be set on auto order. When I cancel I was told I still will be charged $150 for the cancellation. When I told them I didnt request it I was told, "Well that is why you got a discount" which is not true. I got the discount because I was a new member. Well at least thats what it was suppose to be. Then they said, "Look. We are going to charge you 150. Why not order more and will charge you 50 more." Now I have to do this long review in order to get my point across...

I signed up for Nutrisystem and absolutely cannot stomach the food. Some of it is actually revolting and had to throw away several items of the cans I opened. I called to complain and cancel. The support person on the phone ignored the fact that I said that the food tastes terrible and started asking me on how much weight I have lost! I calmly reminded him all I wanted was to complain that the food tastes terrible, send it back within the 30 day window, and cancel my account. He countered that if I do not order a second month's supply, Nutrisystem will charge me a $125 cancellation fee.
I told him how can I order another $300+ month's supply when I called to complain that I cannot possibly eat their food? He cancelled my account and promptly charged me $125 to cancel! Shame on you, Nutrisystem. All you operate is a scam and I can't believe you've been tricking people this long! I will be pursuing this with the FTC and the Pennsylvania Attorney General. Buyer beware!

I still would like to see the autoship information in larger display.
Original Review: Jan. 31, 2018
I ordered Nutrisystem last week, part of the shipment was sent first. I called Nutrisystem because they had not informed me of receiving 2 shipments and I wanted to know why since I took the day off from work to be home to put it away. I expected the 1 shipment and no others until I had a notification. 4 days later there were going to be 2 shipments.
I called Nutrisystem customer service right away to find out why the 2 shipments, I was then informed I would have another shipment in 28 days that would be over $400 on the auto ship program. WHAT! Customer service said I could cancel but I would have to pay $125. I told them I did not know there was auto ship or I would NEVER have ordered this, then they hung up on me! I already spent $364 for this initial shipment. Now I need to either order $200 of food or send back all the nonfrozen food. This company should be avoided, terrible practice of very poor disclosure. It obviously is near fraud to entice people to buy their product then charge them extravagant amounts of money that the product is NOT worth.

I took advantage of the Turbo 13, 4-week program. I received my order on Jan. 3, 2018. I called three times after that day about some products that arrived opened. During each conversation, I was told that I needed to call back by the 22nd of January to make any changes or to delay my next order. Each time I asked, "or to cancel?", and they replied yes. I called on Jan. 19 to cancel and now they're telling me that I have to take another four-week shipment. I've called them several times since and am met with resistance and arguments each time. I won't accept any future orders, nor will I be responsible for any future purchases with Nutrisystem.

I started my Nutrisystem order online January 30th 2018. I ordered the Basic Plan for 199.00 plus the shakes for 39.99, I was very concerned about the deal being on auto delivery so I called the # to the side and spoke with a rep named Candace. I asked her about my concern and she reassured me and said that it was only required for 2 months (the auto delivery). I am always concerned about things like that because companies are so dang dishonest with their ads and promotions and they NEVER tell you everything (learned that the hard way). I am on a monthly budget and it's very important for me to be careful with our money. Now, I asked her 3 or 4 times was the number I called to reach her at the same number I would call to cancel when I was ready to do so. I could tell she didn't really want to answer that question but nevertheless did and said, "No you have to call this number," and proceeded to give it to me.
When she had explained a few more things and had answered some more of my questions we go to tally up and she informs me that she is even going to take $5.00 more off the price and I say, "Thank you," and she says, "Your total is 238.98," and then tells me that someone from their counselor dept would be calling me about my kidney disease, so thinking my order was 238.98 and feeling good about things we hang up. Soon after get a call from someone I believe named Bob (he was speaking sooo fast I'm not sure on that). He needs my Kidney Dr's name and Phone #. I give it to him and he says he will get back with me on whether or not I can continue with the diet.
We hang up and I go check my email and what do I see? A charge from Nutrisystem not for 238.98 as Candace had said (I also had added it) but for ORDER: #** YOUR PLAN: Basic Plan: Women, Favorites Pack; SUMMARY: "A total of $318.97 will be charged to your CARD ending in...", WELL I was fuming. Talk about thieves and liars they are... FOR SURE! I called back and asked to speak to Candace 3 different times even left a message asking why she told me 238.98 (which was correct) but charged me 318.97. I NEVER got a callback and last time I called I spoke to the rep and asked her if she could tell me why? She informs me my order had been canceled because of my health and that my money would be back in my account in 2 to 3 days (didn't take three days for them to get it). Now they canceled the order NOT ME, let's see if they try and keep the 125.00 for canceling early. They had better hope not.
I have already told this and posted at several places, I will tell as many as I can what they did to me (and it's fine they canceled because of my health). How they LIED and tried to CHEAT me on my credit card is NOT! This is the very reason I have the app on my phone called ACR all calls recorded. I went through the same thing with Dish Network and having this app and calling the BBB and another got me back over 400.00 they cheated me out of when they had received back the equipment but never checked it in and blamed me and charged my card. I sincerely try and deal with people on the up and up, Hell, I guess it's asking for too much to expect the same. Shame on you Nutrisystem!!!

I found my second most annoying problem with the new NuMi application: Serving size! For nearly all the foods I enter, why is the entry for Serving Size... Serving? Not helpful at all. I would like to know what NuMi thinks a serving is: 1 tsp, 1 Tbsp, 28 grams, 3 oz, 8 fl oz.... you get the idea.

I don't cook so I'm not really that picky about food but the Nutrisystem food is absolutely awful. I don't know what those who think it's good are eating, but I just ended up giving a hamburger patty to my dogs. It smelled like dog poo and tasted like dog food smells. They loved it. The packaged foods are so overly processed, any pasta is nearly liquefied and there is an over-abundance of red-sauce entrees loaded with chemicals. Yes, I've lost weight because I haven't been eating much of anything. Thankfully, I bought it through QVC on a one-time order so I'm not stuck with auto-shipments or being overcharged for hidden or small print or cancellation. If you're not sure about it, buy it at Walmart or QVC and try it. That way you won't be snookered into giving up your life savings for this garbage they call food.

If your food description had been on your original order website It would have saved us both time and money. Type 2 diabetes is controlled by cutting out of carbs, not insulin. Type 1 can eat ice cream and increase their insulin. Type 2 must control the sugar intake. All of your meals had pastas, sugar coated rolls, and carb intense snacks, as well as high salt. Both bad for Type 2. When you make brown rice, veggie noodles and low salt contact me and I will sign up again. Thanks.

I was having issues with Nutrisystem's food not agreeing with me. I paid the $125 penalty fee and was sure I would be stuck with almost a month of food I could not eat. With the help of Sara in Consumer Experiences she notified me that I was under the time allowed and I would get my penalty fee returned plus the money back for the food that I could not eat. She was professional and eager to help and I truly appreciated it. They made it right and for that I am doing another review... Not all programs work for everyone's body so I was grateful to not be out all that money and that all worked out in the end. Thank you Sara!!!
Original Review: Jan. 23, 2018
I was on my 6th day... and my stomach became increasingly irritated. Very gassy and just felt like crap. The additives and sweeteners that your company uses did not work with my body... I then read several articles and others have had this too. So to be fair some of your stuff tasted decent but the preservatives and sugar replacements are not healthy. I also had no idea I was obligated to a 2nd box... I must have not read the fine print. I had no idea. But I knew that I did not want a 2nd box so I paid the penalty fee. I was not happy about that but knew I was trapped in a way... and didn't want a 2nd box wasted when others can use the food. That is my truth. Thank you. Not all plans work for all people.

They do seem to want to help and please and that is great, I have talked with two women and they have been super nice.
I'm sticking with the program, today eating foods that I chose has been great.
Original Review: Jan. 22, 2018
I'm really disappointed with Nutrisystem sending me food of their choosing for the first Turbo week. You do not get to choose foods you like, they just send you a turbo box in your dry food order. The turbo box food, most of it, is food I never would have ordered. This first week has been the toughest week I have ever had on a diet. For one, I'm very hungry and then having to heat up something that I really don't care for has been difficult. After 4 days, I decided to try the food I ordered. This has been a much better day getting to eat foods I actually like. Tonight I had the frozen mushroom stuffed chicken breast and it was very tasty. My mom is trying Nutrisystem at the same time as me and she agrees it's bad they don't let you pick your first week of food. So 3 days of food will probably go in the trash which is such a waste and shorts me the full program.
Another thing is I don't eat nuts anymore as they make my mouth sore. When ordering online I was able to stay away from them. In the turbo box, a cereal has nuts in it but the biggest thing is I cannot eat the peanut butter Nutricurb bar which you're supposed to eat one a day. I have to substitute, but it sure would be nice to get that chocolate treat in the afternoon. I had to call a counselor to ask what I could use as a substitute (it's not chocolate), she was very nice and gave me some helpful tips. She did say, "You need to call to order if you have any allergies." These first 4 days have been harder than they should have been. I don't know why Nutrisystem chooses your food the first week, I'm sure they could give a list and let you choose. For these reasons I'm giving an early two star review.

I received order and was disappointed that NutriPro shakes contained caffeine, emailed 9/18 for list of items that contained caffeine. Email was returned and list was at best incomplete. Called counselor, he said if I had special dietetic needs I should have called and talked w nutritionist prior to ordering. He tried to connect me to one but they were busy and he said one would return my call, usually within 15-20 minutes, 2 hours and 56 minutes later I received a call, my phone rang twice and when I picked up nobody was there, caller ID showed it was from your company.
I immediately called back but of course I received the automated system and since I didn't have another 10-15 minutes to waste before someone said they would again return my call I did not proceed and no one bothered to try again. All I need is a list of items that have SIGNIFICANT caffeine content, chocolate cupcakes and cookies are not significant, I have no other dietetic restrictions.

I needed to determine which items had stevia since I had an allergic reaction to one of the foods on the plan. I called the counselor support line and within minutes, the counselor sent me a list of all the foods that contain stevia and all the stevia derivatives. I then sent an email about replacing the items that were in my first order. I could change my upcoming order, but was left with several items I couldn't eat. They responded and instructed me the line to call and option to choose. It then took only a few minutes for the gentleman on the phone to help me choose my replacement items and provide me with the office to send back the items I was exchanging.
Every time I spoke or wrote the counselors, they were extremely responsive, made me feel like they genuinely cared about my issues and helping me resolve them. I've tried several other weight loss solutions and have never received the service from them as I have from Nutrisystem. It's clear why this place has been in business for so many years.

I ordered my first 4 week auto delivery 3 days ago and it has not shipped yet! In the days of Amazon 2 day shipping for almost anything, I can't believe this company takes more than two days to even get your order together to ship!

Having used the Weight Watchers app before, I find it disappointing that your NuMi app does not have the basic information in it that you already provide in other pdfs such as the grocery guide. Simple search for "fresh apple" can't tell me if that is a power fuel or a smart carb. Seems pretty basic to me. I went from really liking how easy it is to use your foods and follow the diet, to being fairly confused and afraid to each anything since I don't know how to classify it. That makes me more hungry than the first week, and more cranky.

No real instructions leaves me. Set up for failure. Had to go to NuMe app just to get an idea of what to do. NuMi app doesn’t have my plan so it really doesn’t work.

After posting a challenging experience regarding a service cancellation, Beth, a Nutrisystem counselor called me the next day. She listened to my story with no agenda, offered comfort and promptly resolved my issue. The entire amount was refunded, Thank you!
Original Review: Jan. 16, 2018
Because I had a very good experience with Nutrisystem in 2011, I decided to use them again. Unfortunately, the menu items and their structure changed and could not digest most of the meals. The stomach cramps and other issues were too unbearable to continue. I did make that dreaded "cancel" call, and boy, it was not pleasant. Without going into details, I was not allowed to stop because I enrolled in an auto-delivery. So, if I wanted to quit after January, I would have to pay for February as well. How was I to know that the products would change this much to upset my digestive system? At this point, I am sending back the food I have and will wait what the CC statement will say. Nevertheless, I will never ever work with this company again. They will love you as long as you keep on buying. They will do anything to punish you when you don't. Keep this in mind.

Food was good and actually helped me to lose and maintain my weight. Huge issue was delivery service. My meals rarely arrived as scheduled. 80% of shipments arrived damaged and melted, even when I repeatedly asked not to overpack boxes and pack additional dry ice. It caused constant disruptions in my diet and inconvenience of waiting for re-ordered deliveries when my schedule calls for frequent travel.

I received a frozen order two months ago (my first order) and it was completely melted on arrival. I requested a replacement and received it in around six business days but it was still frozen so problem solved. I again received a melted frozen order three weeks ago and requested a replacement. They blamed the shipping provider stating it was melted because it sat on the truck too long (even though the shipment was received within the 7-10 day shipping that Nutrisystem pays for so it’s their fault for not packing enough dry ice to keep items frozen for the duration of shipment). They said they would send a replacement but I never received it. I called back to check the status of my replacement and they said the replacement order was “cancelled due to a warehouse error”. Whatever that means.
So they said they would send yet another replacement (third attempt) two days ago and expedite shipping that day but I just checked the order status and it STILL has not shipped. I’ve been out of food for three days and am gaining weight due to being forced off the diet for lack of food. When I asked the rep what I should do about being out of food I was told I should go out to eat and refer to the eating out guidelines. When asked if they could upgrade to a faster shipping option I was told no by two different supervisors (both of which have prolonged the issue rather than resolving it). DO NOT TRY NUTRISYSTEM. They will force you to break their diet and also pay for non-Nutrisystem food because they are too cheap to pay for appropriate shipping.

I just finished the Turbo week and I have to say, while it's great to have lost 3 lb in one week, I much preferred the program I first did, where I went on the regular diet immediately and lost 1lb per week.

Far better to spend 3 weeks, fully satisfied by the amount of food, and losing 1 lb per week than to "crash" into the program with turbo.

Original Review: Jan. 10, 2018
Just starting with Nutrisystem, and it's not getting off to a good start. When joining, they offered 7 days of free products for all new customers starting on an auto-delivery 4-week plan. When my shipment arrived, I got 3 weeks of meals plus my "free" products for the first week. When I called I was told I got my 4 weeks and my free products. Never mind the math, she had no clue and said "I don't know what to tell you."
They really should be more forthcoming with your 4 week plan being only 3 weeks for the first month, and that the "free" products aren't really free since they are technically the 1st week of the initial "4 week plan." Also, when you download their NuMi app you are suppose to get a free food sampler. Doesn't mention anywhere that you actually have to pay $8 for shipping. Technically they're correct that the product itself is free, but their ads should note somewhere in the fine print that shipping is not included. Anyway, started day one of my diet today so we'll see if things get better.

I used this plan 4 years ago and the cost was considerably less than today's prices. And, now there is less food per day and fewer days of food provided.

When I tried to return them I held for 27 minutes to get an operator who was new and put me on hold with every question I asked.
I asked about web chat, he said there was none and the box popped up online. I held almost 30 minutes for web chat and then was told the shakes have to be canceled and the price doubles after the first shipment. The return policy is EXTREMELY poor customer service.

On 12/7/17 I used the chat function to take advantage of a Numi free offer that I was having problems with. I chatted first with Gabriel and then with Leo. Leo indicated, once I had successfully accessed the offer in the Numi system, that he could either send the offer as an a la carte order and I would be charged shipping or he could add it to my auto order for 12/25/17. I opted for him to add it to my auto order so I would not have to pay $10.49 for shipping what was offered as a freebie.
When my order came over the holidays, it did not include anything but the regular order that I paid for. I called just now and spoke with Dominque who told me that since the offer is over, she could not help me except to send me a free snack assortment. I declined. I do not need more snacks. She suggested that next time I call and get a live person instead of chatting on-line. This seems contrary to the direction Nutrisystem is pushing me to do more things online. This is the second time I have had an issue with a Numi offer. I also emailed about a bug in one of my Apple Streusel Bars and asked for a replacement. That did not happen either. I kept the video of the bug in the packaging if you want it.
I am not going to quit over this because the system is working and I have lost 50 pounds, but it is disappointing to have these issues. I see that an email today about using the Numi system will result in more offers in 2018, but it makes me reluctant to expect anything when it has been just a time waster so far. I have spent more than two hours on the phone or chatting over these "free" offers only to get no satisfaction. I also do not like the changes made to Numi in November.

Original Review: Dec. 30, 2017
Nutrisystem has the worst customer service ever. I had called about cancelling my plan, when I called they are like, "You have to pay 125$ cancellation fees." I asked them, "What this is for." They said that, "You have to order the 2nd time for not paying the fees." I am like, "This was not there when I ordered the food." I told them I was a returning customer and I had to go out of the country for like 6-8 months. Now the person on the phone asked me to go as a new customer through like 3-4 pages and then he showed me some small link which is called autodelivery where it states (remember it is for new customers he said and not for returning customers). I asked him why in the hell didn't they put the text in bold when you order, he is like, "It is there in that small stupid link on the 3-4 page."
I was like, "What the hell. How can you expect a customer to see this stupid link." They didn't agree to anything and charged me 125$ for cancellation fees. This was the worst customer service experience I have ever had. Also I am never going to recommend Nutrisystem to anyone. Also I have had experiences like this before with them but I still came back as it was convenient to order food. But this was the last straw. I am never coming back to Nutrisystem as they are RIP offs when it comes to this. Thanks.

I had the same issue that a lot of people seem to have- I wanted to use Nutrisystem for one month to kick start my dieting, but found myself in a position where I was going to have to either spend the money and order a second month or pay $125 cancellation fee. Once I wrote my initial review on CA, the company did respond and the issue was resolved. It just took me screaming into the abyss to get someone to hear me out.
Again, I think if you understand what you're signing up for, Nutrisystem is a great option.
Original Review: Dec. 21, 2017
I'm 14 days into my first month and am definitely pleased with the results. My intent was to only do one month to kickstart my weight loss, so I just called to cancel. Like many people below, I was rattled to find out that I had been given some sort of discount on my initial purchase that required me to sign up for [at least] one additional month. I signed up over the phone initially, and I am almost positive this was not clearly communicated to me. Had this been explained to me, I would have found another weight loss program. $400 is a pretty big investment for me, and $800 I just can't afford right now.
When I explained this to the lady on the phone during my cancellation call, she said my initial call had been recorded so there was no getting around either accepting my second order or paying $125 cancellation fee. I asked her to send me the recording, and if I agreed I would gladly pay the fee. She refused. She then told me that I still had weight to lose, so I would be foolish to quit now. Greedy companies like Nutrisystem, that rely on cheap tricks to steal money from hard working people that are looking to better themselves, are a disgrace. Like I said, it really is a shame, because I'm overall pleased with the food and the results I'm seeing. BUYER BEWARE THAT YOU ARE PROBABLY BEING SWINDLED.

Basically I signed up before I was really ready to start. Unfortunately, the next order comes on a schedule, not when the first order runs out. Now canceling requires jumping through hoops much greater than required to signup. Unimpressed by the whole experience. If the food had been really good or the program really easy to follow, I'd have a different opinion. But the food is strictly average to poor and the plan no easier to follow than other programs (like HMR). HMR food is generally better and certainly an organization more committed to customers/patients than Nutrisystem is.

I'm upset with Nutrisystem for a couple of reasons. First is related to the program itself: It's not easy to follow or figure out, is an overwhelming amount of information, the website is hard to search on, and aside from all the recommendations of veggies for sides, all the food is processed. I'm increasingly uncomfortable with processed foods... I can't believe a healthy diet program would have so much of it. Most of it tastes very processed — either like cardboard or, with most of the heated dishes, in order to make up for the lack of sugar/fat flavor, they are overloaded with spices.
Plus, it's VERY expensive when you consider you're getting only the main entree. You still have to buy veggies, fruits, proteins, beverages... My monthly food bill has increased by probably one third. And I have noticed a tendency towards flatulence with some of the foods. I did lose about six pounds the first month, but because that was immediately followed by the holidays, I couldn’t keep it all off. I’m probably net three down… :-(
Secondly is their business practices. It has taken an act of congress to cancel the program. I was told after the first month that I “agreed to” (it was never something made obvious to me) at least two months. I could not cancel after one month! I had to buy another $200 worth of their processed food or else pay a $125 cancellation fee!! This is insane! So I went ahead and ordered another month of snack type foods. Both my husband and I were on the program, so I had to order a shipment for each of us. Lo and behold, a month later, my husband’s order was automatically renewed. I tried calling them to tell them I had cancelled, but they insisted that I’d only cancelled MINE. And the only way my husband’s could be cancelled was if HE called and did it. Because his order had a “privacy setting” on it. Well, we didn’t place the privacy setting! They did!
Despite my trying to tell them that because I had ordered the food and had placed it on MY credit card, I was entitled to cancel it, they wouldn’t budge. My husband had to call them. This is not something either one of us has time for in our busy working days!! Why would a business make it so hard to cancel?? This business is a rip off. They are not interested in truly helping people with weight loss. They are simply a commercial business that cares only about the bottom line and cannot find it within their corporate values to work with a customer’s individual situation. I would never recommend this program to anyone!!
Barbara,
We apologize that you found it difficult to cancel your program and that the program was hard to understand. We will be having someone reach out to you. Have a good one!

When signing up for auto delivery, they do not send a reminder when your order is being processed and charge you $125 for cancellation. Customer service is scripted to keep you in the service and when I gave a reason to cancel, they repeated the same script. I was able to sign up after business hours, I should have been able to cancel my order after business hours as well. My credit card company alerted me to the order. Not happy. Customer service said that I was able to stop payment in time but not avoid the $125 charge.

I was getting a pretty good discount but I decided I can afford it and all the dinners tasted gross so when I tried to switch to a plan that the website made me believe was going to be cheaper and didn’t have dinners on it. Didn’t tell me that my discount wouldn’t be applied anymore and now my plan is more expensive. When I’ve tired talking to customer service reps they just tell me “good luck”. They don’t really seem to care about their customers and I can’t support a company like that. I work in sales too but I’ll do anything I can to get my customers the best deal possible so they leave happy and I thought this company would do the same. I guess I was wrong.

Mike decided to postpone my order till 1-1-18, when I requested it be delayed till 12-8-17. I am on a diet, why would he postpone my order being processed for nearly a month after I requested? The only reason I can come up with is to keep me on the diet an extra month as I would likely gain weight during that delay. It is very annoying to have someone change my dates, the customer, for whatever reason. Fortunately I found the email and was able to correct. I would have stopped Nutrisystem immediately and gone to another diet had I had to wait on the delay Mike initiated.

I had success with this program. It taught me the importance of portion control. I remain more than satisfied with the breakfast and lunch options. I have yet to find a dinner option that I enjoy. Personally, I believe the foods that are packaged dry and reconstituted have a more desirable flavor and texture. I would stay with the program if the breakfast/lunch/snack option was more reasonably priced. Being only $25 lower than the 3-meal per day package seems unfair to customers so I am leaving the program.

Second the menus they gave me had so many items that I had to buy that I will never use again. Plus the menus were so bad to me that I am rethinking just dying fat! Plus they gave me menus for 4. I am only one so that didn't help either. For breakfast, out of 20 options they gave 3 cereal and 2 oatmeal which left 2 days for something different. BAD. To be honest, I really was really disappointed that I paid $45 for the box, over $50 for additional items and was unhappy for the whole week. I loved the shakes.

Working with NS for 2 weeks now. Just some feedback on food containers. Plastic tubs with metal "peel off" lids don't work very well. When you lift the ring and press to pull back, quite a bit of food squishes out through the lid... messy and wasteful. The paper tubs are fine, but a little more clearance inside would be great to prevent boiling over. Huge mess in the microwave. Enjoying the food! Please bring back the lemon blueberry bar (circa 2008-2009) that is similar to the apple strudel bar you have now!! Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback about the foods.
For the metal lids, feel free to try a can opener. We have found that sometime this is a useful tool to help get them open without all of the spill over.
For the paper cups, feel free to add the recommended amount of water, then transfer it to a larger microwavable same bowl. This will give it some more room to boil without all of the wastefulness of the boil-over.
And we will certainly pass along your feedback for the lemon blueberry bar. It sure was tasty!

I won't be using the new Numi app. The changes are horrible!!! I was using the 1500 calorie Uniquely Yours plan, which is no longer available. WHY? What happened to it?? Also, you should have consulted people who were actually using the app when you were making changes. Did any of the designers actually try to use it for a couple days??? They would have realized it was a real pain in the neck to use! My comments...
* Good that you removed many of the ones no longer available.
* However, now there are many, many, many missing.
* Some people may appreciate the red marks in the journal when you go over the meal plan --- I find them demeaning and demoralizing.
* It takes Forever for the app to load and much more time to use. Why did you mess with a good thing???
This change completely derailed my plan this past week. I'll be looking for a new app to use to track my eating. VERY disappointed!!!

I am happy to provide you with my impressions. I also explained this in a recorded phone call to your customer service department on Monday 11/6/17 when I saw they were charging me for another $311.21 without me placing an order, or being asked what foods I may like to order. I received an email at work approximately 10/9 or 10/10/17 from what I thought was an employer (HCSC- also known as BCBS TX, IL, MT, NM, OK) based promotion for 40% off and free shipping for a one-month trial on Nutrisystem's program. This was a good opportunity to try Nutrisystem which I have thought about for a long time because of what I thought was a one-month 40% discount and free shipping period.
I was surprised when I was not asked what foods that I would like to order, but that the month of foods would be auto-shipped. I did not see, nor did anyone email me or verbally review the disclaimer that a second month of food would be auto-shipped and charged if you did not cancel within 14 days. I did not understand that at all in my review of the initial information and would be a good thing to really assure your customers understand the terms of your agreement. Your confirmation email says to "take a minute to review the terms", however, I assure you it takes more than a minute to truly read and understand your terms of agreement.
I received notice of another shipment and charge on 11/6/17, and my initial payment on 311.21 was 10/11/17 and did not receive delivery until late afternoon of 10/18/17, boxes unpacked that evening and started the program on 10/19/17. I did not want or need another order as still had 2 weeks food left. I am sure it is complicated to assure timely delivery to your many customers, but to bill folks $622 in one months' time - no thank you. That is beyond my budget and understanding.
At this time, I do plan to dispute any additional charges on my credit card and verbally advised that I am not authorize any additional charges beyond the initial payment of $311.21 that I did agree to pay for my one month trial. If I had really understood that I would have to pay the discount, I never would have signed up, because I believe that is deceptive, and will let my employer group know that people who are considering Nutrisystem really need to read, review and understand the terms carefully. One question I do have… does the 14 days start when you are billed or the date you actually receive the food? It does make a difference. I appreciate the opportunity to share my impressions and concerns with you.

Updated review: Dec. 15, 2017
I had been using the previous iteration of the NuMi app (for iOS) since June as part of my weight-loss program with Nutrisystem. I have lost 30 pounds. However, about a month ago, Nutrisystem updated the app with very little advance notice. For me, I used the old version one day for breakfast in the morning, but when I went to fill-in my data for lunch, there was a whole new app staring at me. Even as a long-time and well-experience computer professional, I had a very difficult time "decoding" the app. It was so difficult, that I just ceased to use it.
I contacted Nutrisystem, but the response was basically a "canned", form-letter style, which ticked me off. I tried again and again, no substantive assistance. Hence, I turned to Consumer Affairs. THAT got their attention. Once their Customer Service read my very detailed report, they began to address the issues and explain several of my concerns. We have had some positive back-and-forth correspondence and I believe, that with the changes recently made in the software and the overall program, not only have they helped me, I am sure that they have helped many other users who also had experienced difficulties in using the app. Nutrisystem has displayed a strong willingness to address the concerns of its clients and assist them with virtually any difficulty they experience with any part of the program.
Original Review: Nov. 15, 2017
I am writing to express my utter disappointment with your latest version of NuMi. I found the app that was a vital tool in my loss of over 30 pounds since last June, has now become some developer’s personal game at frustrating users. I have been working with, on, building and repairing computers since 1981. I installed, used and taught thousands of software programs over these years. I’ve been using application-based cell phones since the first Blackberry. Even today, I am a consultant to small businesses and consumers on both hardware and software, from computers to cell phones. Yet, even I am utterly puzzled as to the developer’s plan.
Coding is poorly explained and something as simple as keeping the alphabetical order of one’s “Favorites” is gone. Now, the user is required to scroll through the entire library of that category to find a particular item. I’ve used NuMi on my iPhone since the day my first order was delivered and through this past Friday, when I was at a 3-day conference away from home. However, upon my arrival home after a two hour drive, I opened NuMi to register my breakfast and lunch, only to find this new, useless app. I would rather use a 3x5 note card for each meal, snack, water, etc., than use your new app. I urge you to provide the latest revision of the old NuMi to your loyal members, for those who wish to continue using! As pleased as my wife and I have been overall with our Nutrisystem® experience since June, this leaves us with a very sour taste.

I very excitedly signed up online to begin my Nutrisystem weight loss program. The food and all the information pamphlets arrived in a timely manner and I began the program. Almost 2 weeks into the program I began experiencing stomach cramping and diarrhea. I thought I had picked up a bug and continued with the Nutrisystem. My condition continued and became a bit worse. I went off the packaged meals for a day and began feeling better. Upon resuming my program, the symptoms returned. I decided it must be something in the meals. I called Nutrisystem and the representative I spoke with said they were aware of the fact that some of the additives they had to use did cause some people problems.
She offered to upgrade my program for no additional fee, but since I did not know exactly what ingredient was causing my problem, I declined. I couldn’t justify spending another $300 when I didn’t know if that would take care of the problem. When I told her I just wanted to cancel, I was told it would cost $125 to do so. She said it was in the information I had looked at on the online site. I honestly do not remember seeing that, I could have just been excited about joining. I just feel that if there is a known problem with their product, I should not be penalized because of their problem. This has left me with a very negative feeling towards Nutrisystem.

I subscribed to the weight loss program and must admit that I couldn't follow it right away as we had visitors from out of the country. Once they left early October, I got back on the program and followed it closely and did not lose weight, but actually gained weight! I called Customer Service and we refined my program a bit and I followed it daily and used my tracker. Another woman in my office is on the program and has had success with it.
When I complained that not only was I NOT losing weight, but had actually gained 2 pounds, she couldn't figure out the reason. After a while, I finally lost 2 pounds for my total weight loss. I am really, really disappointed. It's difficult to stay on track and when you are disciplining yourself to remain faithful with no cheats, the reward of no weight loss is HUGE. I gave up today and will return to Jenny Craig in a week or two. I actually lost weight on that program 10 years ago and wish I wouldn't have wasted the 2 months I spent on Nutrisystem this time.

I thought the Nutrisystem worked wonders on me. I just ran out of money, and I feel very guilty using money when my husband is the only one working. But it was more than I thought it would be. I don't get hungry. The food is very good, and the plan worked for me. I still have lots more to lose, but someday I will reach it, and it's due in part to Nutrisystem!

There are several cautions that I want to raise:
1. Nutrisystem has a sneaky penalty for subscribers: If you purchase a 28-day supply using their discounted subscription pricing, you effectively commit to receiving at least one more order from them, or face having a $125 penalty assessed for cancelling before the second order is processed. I realized this as my order was being placed online… and that’s certainly not when you want to learn about a hidden cost.
2. Nutrisystem now advertises and sells what they call a 28 day plan, but the reality is that they only send meals for 24 days, not 28. Why is this, you might ask? The answer is what they call a Flex Meal. Here’s what they say: “While on Nutrisystem, you’ll get to enjoy flex meals and snacks – one breakfast, one lunch, one dinner and two snacks each week on your own.” That’s an inconvenient way to describe how they short your order for 4 days worth of food on that 28-day meal plan (and yes, they are truly shorting your order – see my next point).
3. Prices for Nutrisystem have gone way, way up and they deliver a lot less at the same time. Because I was a recurring customer starting in 2008 I have access to the orders I placed then, and can compare them to what I’m purchasing now. Here’s a comparison: Nov 2008: 4 weeks + 1 week free, male $277.99 (no discount); Nov 2011: 35 day program, male $259.99 (no discount); Aug 2013: 4 weeks + 1 week free, male $259.99 ($65 discount); Sep 2017: 4 weeks (technically 24 days), male $384.29 ($133.07 discount); Oct 2017: 4 weeks (technically 24 days), male $414.29 ($103.07 discount). That “discount” is a complete joke, because their prices have gone from roughly $7.94 per day for meals in 2008, to $17.26 per day for meals in 2017… and that’s not including the pre discounted price. That’s a 217% increase in cost.
4. Order processing is late; often later than you’d expect. My first recent order took 1 week to process. My second recent order (keep in mind that it was a subscription/automatic order) was supposed to process 5 days ago, and is still unprocessed. At this point I will have a gap in the Nutrisystem diet because I’ve effectively run out of food from the first order. Keep in mind that my prior orders in 2008, 2011 and 2013 always processed in one day. According to their customer service, their official processing and shipping time is now 4-10 business days.
5. Customer Service is a soothe-sayer, and they aren’t great at placating. That problem you’re contacting them about isn’t really a problem; it’s a feature of the program, or it’s their interpretation. As an example, when I contacted them about the late second order I was told “With the way our auto-delivery system works, we weren’t scheduled to begin processing you(r) order until [order date].” Silly me. I thought that with the order in their system for weeks, they could actually have planned to ship the order on the date indicated.
6.You have to call to cancel their Auto-Delivery program. Even though you can order, delay and edit your order online, the one thing you can’t do is cancel the service online… which only makes sense if you’re going to talk someone out of cancelling the service. According to forum support topics, "How do I cancel my plan?" and "Can I customize, cancel or delay my auto-delivery order?" You MUST call to cancel the auto-delivery service. The best part? If you already paid and are due a refund, they take their sweet time (up to 8 weeks) to refund your money.
Once my second order finally ships, I’m placing the call to cancel any future auto-delivery with Nutrisystem. Yes I’ve lost weight; but the problems of cost/value, bad customer practices and poor customer service are enough to leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I am sorry to say the food did not taste good at all. It all had a certain smell and flavor that was very unappealing. I did see that the frozen got good reviews. I may try that ala carte but must say what I got I would not eat. I am throwing it out. Oh the bars were pretty good.

I enjoy the food and it’s easy to stay on track, but when I try to eat normal food for the flex meals, my stomach won’t tolerate it. Makes it hard to attempt eating out. Is this normal?? 5 months and down 35 lbs so it does work!

I signed my wife and I up for Nutrisystem 2 months ago, she only joined to help support my weight loss and get me started. The problem started when I went to cancel her account, Nutrisystem has you create an account with your email and a password but only allows you to cancel by phone. When I called to cancel her account, an account I created for her on-line with our credit card, the service rep would not cancel her account without talking to her, stating it was for security reasons. This was not true, remember I had to create an account with a password so you should be able to cancel your account after logging onto Nutrisystem with that password!
The reason my wife was forced to get on the phone with Customer Service was so they could pressure her into continuing with the program. I was so angry that I cancelled my account as well! But only after having to explain to the rep 4 times why. Nutrisystem, you have a good product, you don't need the high pressure tactics. You lost out on a long term customer! I still have @80 lbs to lose and now I'm looking for a new company to do business with! If you use this company just be prepared to argue and fight with the customer service rep when it's time to stop.
Hello Jeff,
