Both Mike when I called in to asked questions and then Lucrecia from the counseling team were extremely helpful and went out of their way to make sure I understand the program. I'll be checking with my doctor as recommend to see if it is safe for me with my medical condition. Great Job. Thanks!

The order was canceled and a new order was done to correct the shipping charge error. I have been on Nutrisystem for over 6 months and enjoy the food. Was not very thrilled to get the email saying free shipping and then I was charged shipping. I have been charged the same about then it changed and I am on auto-delivery. One phone call took care of the issue, which I was very pleased. Todd figured it out and corrected the issue. I just hope this does not happen again and my charge card is not charged double.

My wife signed up in my behalf because, frankly I'm overweight, having gained 40 or so pounds over the past year. Partly due to being diabetic. So the Nutrisystem D (for diabetes) seemed the perfect solution - we both were looking forward to getting on the program. So the box arrived, and looking at the snacks and meals everyone had sugar - 9g; 12g; and none were "No sugar added" or mentioning anything like Splenda. Calling Nutrisystem I come to learn the "D" program is the same as the regular weight loss - only without two items such as cheesecake and something else. That's totally unacceptable as a diabetic/weight loss program - no doctor would say "ok" to such high sugar content.
Final - I sent the box back for a full refund and will go make myself a salad for lunch - this program is all hype. Good TV commercials but not at all a healthy plan for "D" - and still, nothing fresh - everything like you'd get in a vending machine - only more expensive. Costco to the rescue - eat fresh, exercise and don't buy cookies with sugar - see, free advice can save you hundreds of dollars.

My order took 14 days to receive due to a flooded warehouse in Reno, NV. After taking the Nutrisystem food for 5 days, I got a terrible yeast infection, come to find out, all the food had heavy content of sugar. When I tried to return the food, I was told I had 14 days to return the Nutrisystem food. When I told billing at the Nutrisystem billing office I didn't even get the food for 14 days, she told me she was sorry but that was their policy. I disputed the charge with my card holder who eventually credited my account back the initial food charge. Beware, the food does not taste good, it is loaded with sugar and you only have 14 days to return your order from the initial day of your order, yucky stuff. Went to Weight Watchers and lost 16 lbs. in 25 days. AVOID NUTRISYSTEM FOOD, TOO EXPENSIVE AND TASTE HORRIBLE.

On the way to my appointment I tried to call again and once answered I was asked my name and address over and over and I responded repeatedly and then was disconnected. Once again I called and Cynthia answered. I explained that I had received an email about auto deliveries and I wanted to make it clear that I would never request or agree to auto delivery. We are retired and on a fixed income and trying Nutrisystem for a month is all I'd agreed to. We were able to do this month because of the Costco discount. At that point she told me that there would be a cancellation charge of $125. I said that was completely unacceptable and that I would not pay a cancellation charge. I requested she speak with a manager and then continued to my appointment. As you can see, there were numerous frustrating "PR" experiences that could be remedied for future goodwill and customer service.

Order was cancelled on May 4th and I still received notification of another shipment being shipped. The food is terrible even when using the program to the letter. I only lost 3 lbs - when I called they advised me I have to pay a cancellation fee - even though I cancelled well ahead of the shipment date. I used Nutrisystem probably 30-35 years ago and was very satisfied. This program however the program is not at all what it used to be and appears to just be a con that won't allow you to cancel.

When I got my first order, the guy that took my order promised me that all of my orders will be the same price as the first. This is all recorded, look into it. Not only did you not honor that deal, my second order was about ready to ship when I saw the price jump from $328.14 to $420. Had I not review that would have been the charge.

I called into your support center on 5/4/17 and was treated so horribly. I have literally NEVER been treated in such a way. Not only was I transferred approximately 7 times back and forth between the customer service team and weight loss team, I was made to verify who I was every single time. The first weight loss representative, Krystal, was the catalyst for me asking to speak to a supervisor because of her less than apathetic attitude and general disinterest in assisting me. I was feeling very overwhelmed and inundated with Nutrisystem literature. I just wanted some guidance. I was laughed at, hung up on, and denied the opportunity to speak with ANY supervisor. I was eventually promised that a supervisor named Brittany would call me back at approximately 3:30 pm on 5/4/17. I am still waiting.
I called back yesterday and spoke with Rick who stated he placed $40 coupon on my account (which I have been unable to locate) for all my troubles, and that a supervisor would be calling me back around 4 pm 5.5.17. No call came. I wrote an email to the customer service department and was advised the issue I experienced was most likely a "technical issue". WHAT?!? I don't want a coupon, I want to speak to someone with some authority to address the way your abysmal customer service and weight loss counseling reps treated me. I cannot believe the standard of treatment that is acceptable with your company. I want you to make this right.

My first order was fine. My second order is inedible. The frozen order can in that white Styrofoam box with dry ice... completely undamaged. The same cannot be said for the food. Several packages were already open and food was loose in the brown box. Some black plastic containers are broken, the plastic is ripped and the food is exposed. Frozen waffles and pancakes are broken and almost crushed. I've only opened a few things and everyone has been damaged in some way! I assume the entire frozen order is compromised. I've already sent some images but I'll do so again.

The food was ok. They require you to purchase a lot of your own food to follow the plan. It really didn't work for me and when I cancelled my next order I was hit with a $125 CHARGE!

Why not alphabetical listing of all topics in NuMi. I got another item yesterday that was new and not listed and I had to call for help to find out calories in order to log it.

You hide behind e-mail as the phone number given me was not yours. Why don't you answer my questions???
I pay for good customer service and you DO NOT provide it to me. Maybe you cannot correct your list to put in alphabetical order. Just say so then try to hire someone from Microsoft, Apple.

Best customer service I have ever had, will definitely do business again with Nutrisystem.
Original Review: May 3, 2017
I order on Thur of last week and added the $14.99 for priority procession. The last time I order and used the priority. The shipment went out the next day. This time I ordered on a Thursday and the shipping didn't go out until the following Monday. I called and ask the $14.99 be credit back to my credit card because of the slow shipping and I was told they couldn't do that even though I explained that The Nutrisystem Counseling Team sent me to him with this email, "Thank you for your response. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. If the $14.99 credit on your next auto delivery will not suffice please contact us at 1 800 585 5483 then choose option 1. A representative will be able to help you with getting the $14.99 credited back on your credit card."
The rep on the line refused to listen to anything I said so I canceled the order. But the first part of the order was sent out. So I have to pay for shipping back to your company, ($39.00) and he said Nutrisystem would deduct another $25 from my refund of $363 for the shipping also. I will never deal with your company again and I'm for sure tell all of my friends and co-workers about my experience with Nutrisystem as a whole.
Updated on 05/17/2017: I was contacted twice by the Consumers Dept. of Nutrisystem and was completely compensated for all my charges and shipping. It was very clear the team member handling this case went above and beyond her job to satisfy my wants and needs on this case.

You have to talk to a Nutrisystem's adviser and if it is not enough days, which is what I did online. They said they will still charge me $175.00 to cancel.

Nutrisystem refunded all but 19.99 of the original 336.05 I paid after I returned the original order, with no cancellation fee. Their customer service is excellent, it's the food that was really disappointing. The ingredient labels show a shocking amount additives and preservatives. I didn't taste the food, so I can't comment on that aspect of their program, but when the ingredient label is "red flag" as to what's inside, I think Nutrisystem needs to investigate healthier alternatives to the food options they offer. I believe that even using "Nutri" in the marketing of this program is misleading, suggesting the foods they offer are nutritious. To me, building a weight loss program on over-engineered, dubious quality food is like building a skyscraper on a swamp.

Contacted Nutrisystem to cancel my order after receiving 1st shipment. I was told there was a $125 cancellation fee if I did not not receive a second order. This was not made clear on the website at the time of the order. I was shocked by the poor quality of the food as many of the prepared foods contained unnecessary chemical additives. The food provided by Nutrisystem does not promote healthy eating choices, but rather relies on overly-processed, low quality food that reinforces dietary choices that are unhealthy. The consumer is responsible for locally purchasing the only truly healthy foods that support the Nutrisystem program, fresh fruits and vegetables. Very disappointed with the whole experience. I was looking forward to food that was not over-engineered with genetically modified ingredients.

Last month we did our monthly order with Nutrisystem. When we order somehow we thought the order didn't go through so we went back through the ordering process again. Next week one large came.

First I must say the week of food I purchased at Walmart really sold me on this program. I then ordered the basic plan which I was told to obtain a discount I had to agree to 2 month supply. The box was delivered to the wrong address & I had to pay someone to bring to me since I could not lift it. I received the menu's guide & had to wait another 10 days to get the correction. When it finally arrived it was unclear so I spoke to someone who did not have knowledge of the program & have not lost any additional weight. Frustrated, I have tried to speak to a counselor & have been on hold a minimum of 15+ minutes. Tried different days & times. Is there a resolution to any & all of the above, I cannot believe other people aren't as unhappy as I. How can they sell bogus claims.

I was initially impressed with how quickly someone got back to me when I asked about an onion allergy menu. It did significantly reduce my choices and to select those custom items that won't make me sick costs me an additional $20/month but I figured since I only had 10 lbs to lose a month should do it... then I discovered the auto delivery in my account. This should be made a separate box you check. I would not have signed up for this since I should only need a month on the plan.
I also got my husband to sign up w/ the $30 incentive. I do not see that credit on the order for next month. We haven't even gotten our order yet and I'm already disappointed due to the shadiness. Ya, ya, I agreed to the terms and service. But a more ethical practice would to put the auto delivery as an option in a separate check box. I'm to blame for my husband's too since he has dyslexia and he could have no way spotted that. I guess if I lose my 10lbs and/or find the food gross I will donate to the food bank and take the tax write-off. Sounds like when I can cancel I have to do so by phone... awesome. Look up vocal cord dysfunction, what does it say about talking on the phone? Just great. :/

Not too happy with NS lately. Counselors are not like they used to. They are in hurry to get you off the phone ASAP. The last one was the worse. She answered few Q but then she did not want to. When I asked more question instead of answering me she said "I can't stay on the phone. I'll email you the page you read it." I've already got what she is sending me. I don't understand it that is why I called. She was also cutting me off a lot, rushing me, she was talking too fast in a hurry, she did not know what FAVA beans is! With every question I had without knowing what I was going to ask she acted as if she knows it but she had no idea and I had to explain my question again and that made us stay on the phone longer, which should matter.
The wait time for talking with counselors is also has changed from the past. I have been N/S customer for nearly 7 years. I see how N/S going from the best to worse. Makes me feel like I should leave the program. Some counselors are rude and have very little knowledge of what the program IS ABOUT. Another thing that get me confuse is that each counselor give a different answer for the same question and I get more confused and wonder why I cannot lose the weight even though I'm on it religiously. In the past I was told something totally different from what they tell me now. Example, I was told green beans are starchy but now they tell me, "It's ok. Eat all you want." Not sure what to believe any more. It keeps changing.
I have lost and got to my goal but I never learned how to do it without N/S. That is why I keep gaining the weight back when I'm on my own. Any time I asked them how to do it on my own, they would not teach me. They want me to stay with N/S forever. Eventually I have to get off the N/S and learn how to handle it by myself. I thought that was the whole things to teach us how to do it on your own. I guess not.

My experience, first time around for 2 months, was a definite positive one. My almost second experience was truly a non-caring one, not by your representative, but by guidelines set up for repeat customers. Prices quoted are all different. I ended going to QVC and will see what happens. If someone is on your program for months and wants to extend that why is the price not continued??? Quite frustrating and reinforces the business mentality instead of caring if customers can afford it for one more month. Thank you for your response to my letter.

I understood I was signing up for a ONE month trial. When I decided to cancel after the first month I learned that Nutrisystem's "fine print" says you cannot cancel until you have paid for two shipments (over $625) or pay a $125 penalty. So it's not a one month trial, it's a two month trial with a cost of OVER $625! Nutrisystem is being dishonest (or at best, tricky) in its presentation of the program. Who wants to work on weight loss with a company you cannot trust?

My issue with this company has been resolved amicably between both parties. I still feel there are a lot of things that could be done better and with better transparency as well as more options made available besides the ones they have right now as each person has a different issue for what they want and how they would like to handle their weight loss. However, I have to say they got in touch with me and listened to my issues and suggestions and as I said above the problem was taken care of.
Original Review: April 27, 2017
When you buy something you should get what you pay for. You do not get this with these plans. You order a specific amount of product it should add up to what you receive. They tell me you get success containers with this plan, Just Lunches and Snacks, and I am not sure exactly what that is but if they are talking about the plastic serving size containers you can buy them every day at Bed Bath and Beyond for $5.99 when they are not on sale. Wondering if I got ripped off on the $300+ order I got originally now. As far as the counseling and help they say it is part of the dollar amount. For the price of these plans it shouldn't count towards the price of the product. You either get the product dollar amount you pay for or you don't. Any which way around it this is a bad way to do business. Definitely would not recommend this plan or the company in any way, shape or form. There are much better plans out there that give you what you pay for.

Nutrisystems responded in a timely manner. I was satisfied with their resolution. I have used the diet in the past, about 8 years ago and did lose weight and kept it off.
Original Review: April 24, 2017
I called to sign up for Nutrisystem. I received the 30 days worth of food, frozen and shelf food. I am not a big gluten eater but thought what the heck, try it since it is so measured out on nutrients, fat, protein etc. I found most of the food is bread and pasta and requires a microwave. All of the things that I don't normally do. When I called to cancel... of course I am out of the 30 day guarantee and now have to pay $125 to cancel. When you call in the first time and order, they rattle off terms along with too much information, you don't realize it or maybe I never was told anyway about the $125 cancellation.
When I called in to defer the next order, since I felt it was too close to just receiving the order that took forever to receive, they never mentioned the window of opportunity for satisfaction and the cancellation fee. But then I waited forever on the phone so we all were rushed when I said, I want to defer because I haven't had time to try it out. I was transferred to a second person who then tried to transfer me a third time because of what I was asking about figuring it out. Should have gone to the third employee to figure out their scam of the cancellation fee. I am a healthy eater so processed food for all meals just doesn't work.
I am so disappointed in Nutrisystem and their forced business policies. When I looked online to see reviews thinking I should have researched more and maybe I would see this challenge, there are only good reviews. So my conclusion, Nutrisystem is big business with dedicated employees to monitor the Internet for any not almost perfect reviews. Calling in is a HUGE wait so of course there is not transparency. This is big business, not the kind of business for caring about people losing weight. I am SO DISAPPOINTED in you Nutrisystem... you big corporation with profits at the forefront of all you do. At least when people talk about it I can tell them the truth.

I strongly recommend not using Nutrisystem. I thought I bought a 28 day plan. Turns out if you cancel and don't buy the second month there is a $125 charge. I feel ripped off, as the details about this portion of it weren't on any web page, but are instead on a pop-up so that unless you catch them, you are stuck as I was. The company was totally inflexible when I called to cancel and charged me the $125 even though I called several days before my standard non-customized order was to ship. If I'm ever asked about Nutrisystem I'll be telling people to stay away.

When signing up for Nutrisystem I first started with the regular 28 day program (custom). I was excited to see that there was all kinds of meal variety (lots of egg options for breakfast). I then decided that 28 days would be too much, especially since I am busy on the weekends and opted for the Weekends My Way option which is 20 days. Well, when I went to choose my food I noticed that for this plan they greatly reduced the options for all meals! I am not certain if it was because I used a Groupon or because it's the type of plan but I think it's not appropriate. The choices should be the same regardless of how much you pay!

The good - The program works as it is based upon portion control and weight loss is inevitable. As long as you adjust your lifestyle and eating habits during the program there is no reason why you need to stay on this system unless you need the meals made for you in which case it's good to do. The bad - we were on the program for 2 months and decided to stop the program as we no longer needed it. The cancellation policy is terrible and not friendly for customers. The only option to cancel is to call and we were bounced from two different departments. The process literally took 2 hours.
The alternative is that Nutrisystem continues to auto pay every month from your account. In the year 2017 there is no reason why an organization should not allow the ability to cancel membership online as most other companies provide the option with a click of the box. Buyer beware with this and plan on spending extensive amounts of time trying to cancel your membership when you are done if you go with Nutrisystem.

If I pay for it I'd better do it right and not waste the money. At this point, I'd like to return the unused food but will stick with it. I just hope you will make your food healthier in the future. You should be changing bad habits, not encouraging them.

I started the program with Nutrisystem shipping all my meals every 28 days. My goal was to lose 40 lbs. I am happy to say in just a little over 2 months I have reached my goal. I love the Nutrisystem plan! It really works! I feel so much better about myself. The food is really good, you have a lot of different choices and the cost of the food is definitely acceptable. The plan is easy to follow and I would recommend this to anyone who is ready to lose weight.

If you are not good at preparing your own meals and on the go, this diet plan is perfect. A bit expensive and I prefer the frozen meals but if you follow according to plan and exercise you will lose a significant amount of weight. I have always enjoyed this plan and go back as required. Nutrisystem is great.

I ordered over the phone just one month, was very specific that I had never tried them and was skeptical. After first month I called to cancel, found out that if you cancel before two full deliveries they charge you 99.00. Which was never disclosed even after asking. Then it took talking to 5 very rude reps, to get order cancelled. I also had to return the package they sent (after I cancelled) to find out two weeks later that they tried to charge me again. So I got my bank involved and stop that payment but they still owe me 137.14. I have contacted our local news and going social media, to let people know that this is not a reputable company. To add insult to injury the food for dinners are gross.

I signed up for this program with high hopes. Received my food and began to try it. The word 'food' is inappropriate here, but I slogged through countless awful meals thinking the next one might be better. Finally, I called to cancel further orders. Was told that I was free to cancel but because I had (inadvertently) signed up for an autoship, I would be charged $125. To NOT get any more food that I hate! I'm sure all of these rules are in the small print somewhere, but I sure never saw that. When I said I would not pay this fee, they threatened to bill me anyway and send it to collection. A good company does not have to strong-arm their customers. A good company stands behind its product. And believe me, I wanted to succeed with this! Did I lose weight? I probably lost one or two pounds, but that was literally from giving my nasty meals to the dog instead of eating them. Buyer beware!

I ordered Nutrisystem and completed a month and only lost 5 lbs. I canceled my auto ship but they shipped anyway and stated that they had no record of me canceling the shipment. They wouldn't do anything about it so I am stuck with paying for another month's supply. On top of that, they did not put dry ice in the 2nd order (they did in the first) and everything was melted. I called to complain and they still would not refund me. Instead, they stated that they would reship the frozen order again. My reason for canceling in the first place was the quality of the food, too many chemicals (processed), too much salt, gluten and high in carbs.

See photo below. I think it speaks for itself! Poor quality control. I contacted Nutrisystem about it and was told a $15 coupon would be applied to my next order.

If I could give ZERO stars I would. Part of my dissatisfaction is my fault for not researching. I don't mind that packaging is really small, I get this is a portion control program. What does bother me is the claim the crap is "healthy." NO, it is not. Everything is loaded with sodium and sugar. Another problem, everything needs to be microwaved - I don't own a microwave and don't plan on ever owning one. I called to discontinue future deliveries and was informed that I was obligated to another month because I received my order at a "discount" - this program is NOT cheap even at the "discount" price. I told the representative that I do not cook w/ a microwave so this program is pretty inconvenient. Obviously I can figure out how to warm the meals; however, that does take some of the convenience away.
The representative told me that there were stove-top directions on all the meals packaging. NOT TRUE. I hadn't seen one meal at the time that had stove-top directions. BUT, there are a few that do have stove-top directions, but definitely NOT all. I emailed Nutrisystem my concerns because the phone call I made to Nutrisystem only made me upset. I never received a reply so they clearly do NOT care about customer satisfaction. I also felt manipulated into the obligated second month. They DO NOT make that clear when ordering. YES, I should have paid better attention. So some of the fault certainly is mine. But the program sucks and now I'm stuck with two months of really ** food (anyone that says the food is good, clearly has terrible taste). And I'm positive that Marie Osmond is NOT eating this dog food. Nutrisystem super sucks.

I find the practice of automatic reorders by Nutrisystem to be very unfair and is just there to assure more money is spent by the consumer. My wife ordered the 1st month supply not realizing that buried somewhere in the terms and conditions that automatic reorders would occur. When she found out that a reorder was about to be shipped (more than a weeks supply was yet to be used) she called Nutrisystem to tell them she did not want anymore. She received a cancellation confirmation but Nutrisystem delivered the order anyway. We immediately returned the unopened box.
When we called Nutrisystem to tell them what happened the representative told us we would have to pay them $200 to return the $417 order they had just charged us. This is grossly unfair business practice that should be stopped immediately. People should have to make a positive affirmation that they want automatic reorders... not have it buried in the terms and conditions somewhere. We are protesting the $416.96 charge to our credit card.
UPDATED ON 04/15/2017: I previously posted about Nutrisystem's unfair automatic re-order process. I received no call from them about anything but today I received a credit on our credit card for $269.99 regarding the $416.96 charged for the order that had been cancelled & acknowledged by them in an e-mail. Their food was returned and accepted back by them. But now they want a payment of $147 for the return. We think that is ridiculous under the circumstances but are willing to pay $50 to settle the issue.

Nutrisystem has been nothing shy of a blessing from God for me. I have tried I think all of the others and the food is really good.

The diet was delicious. Who would not want nice sweet bars for breakfast and snacks? But one thing the plan does not take into consideration is your age. At 76, the meals suggested were much too high in calories. Your metabolism slows with age, and although this diet may be good for younger women, it was completely unsuitable for a woman my age. When you sign up, you are asked for your age, so this was not a matter of not being aware of my nutritional requirements. It was a downright money grab. I paid almost CDN$500 (with the exchange rate), but I will be reimbursed only US$90 to ship back the remainder of the bars, snacks, and non-perishable food. This more than pays for what I used.
At US$90, Nutrisystem is still making money. What I am returning is not worth half that much. The frozen meals that Costco sells for less than $1 each taste better than the frozen meals supplied by Nutrisystem. 'Pizza' was a piece of cardboard on which you add sauce and cheese. The other meals were mushy pasta. I was taken in. It appears I was not the only one taken in.

Hello Nutrisystem team. I am writing as I have never in my life been talked to by a customer service rep the way Chante from your customer service line spoke to me. I will take blame in the fact that I am super emotional and upset about how long it is taking to get my order that I placed. But the snotty attitude by this gal has me over the edge. Nutrisystem should be embarrassed to have people on your customer service line that don't know how to deal with people. As you should know, weight loss is a very sensitive subject. People are emotional when it comes to weight loss and when you make the decision to spend this kind of money and order something like this you should not leave so much time for buyer's remorse. I am sad that one person on the other side of the phone caused me to cancel my Nutrisystem order and has now cost you a customer.
Although I am just one missed opportunity for you, I will ensure social media is aware of the treatment I received. I hope you take this as feedback to better train your employees and help them understand how to be patient with people who may have a weight problem and are emotional.

I am an on-the-go person who does not like to cook or have lots of time to shop. I typically ate all my meals at fast food places or I ate frozen convenience foods heated at home. Egg muffins for breakfast, bagels or burgers for lunch, pasta or pizza for dinner, and chips as snacks were my favourite foods. That takeout fast food I was eating was full of addictive ingredients that never made me feel full. When I stepped on the scale and was the heaviest I have ever been, I was upset. My closet of beautiful clothes no longer fit. I had trouble walking up stairs and I was worried about my health. I did not have much energy to do anything. I knew it was time to change the way I eat.
I saw the Nutrisystem ad on TV with Marie Osmond and she looked great. Her success convinced me to try this diet. It was really exciting getting my first giant box of food! So many choices and it was fun to pick out my meals each day. The NuMi phone app to track my food/water intake, and weight loss progress is also very helpful. Nutrisystem has definitely helped me to kick my craving for fast food. On the Nutrisystem diet, I get to eat healthy versions of my favourite foods packed with protein and fiber. I have learned portion control. I have lost 23 lbs so far in 6 weeks, and have another 52 lbs to go. People are noticing changes, they say I look bright and energetic. I now feel like exercising, taking long walks with my dog.
I admit, the first week of not eating takeout fast food was hard. I was really tempted to cheat. But if you can promise yourself to stick with Nutrisystem + not eat that unhealthy fast food for 2 weeks, you will discover your cravings for it will disappear. In fact, you will be excited to step on the scale each day and see the pounds drop. When someone offers you some unhealthy fast food, you will say, "No thanks, I am not going down that road again!" You will be excited to shop for healthy fresh foods, fruits and vegetables. Nutrisystem will teach you portion control, to eat more protein, drink more water, and enjoy fruits and vegetables. I tried other diets and failed because I didn't like my diet food, I didn't have time to cook, and I was too tempted to buy high-calorie convenience foods.
Nutrisystem is working for me because it tastes good and is convenient. I don't have to do much shopping or cooking. I can avoid buying the convenient frozen foods at the supermarket by shopping at my local fruit and vegetable market. I enjoy the Nutrisystem foods so much, that I will continue to include some in my daily meal plans once I reach my ideal weight goal. I especially like the chocolate muffins for breakfast! I never thought I could eat chips when on a diet, I love the Nutrisystem BBQ and Creamy Ranch flavoured protein chips for a snack.

I tried to stick it out and see what the results would be, but I just couldn't take it anymore. Then they charged me 99.00 for canceling my order which I was not aware of. After 2 months I still have food leftover that I cannot eat that I paid a lot of money for.

I would like to follow up and say there has been a huge improvement in response times. The last few weeks I have had to call Nutrisystem to deal with not receving the correct items in my order. They were prompt, friendly and did mmediately ship out the correct items to me. Great improvement!

All in all I don't mind the program. The food is ok but good enough that you can eat it for weight loss and not be miserable. Some things are very tasty, others not so much. But you can customize your menu. My main issue is the wait times on the phone. I have waited 20 mins and hung up more than once. Online chat is helpful but a few times I needed to speak to someone on the phone. Due to this, I am thinking of canceling. It is unfortunate, as a customer from Canada who is paying a premium of the program with the exchange rate, and for all other customers it is good business practice to not put customers on hold for so long. Happy with program but not with the long wait times to call.

During the first week of the program (Turbo Takeoff), the shakes and bars are to be eaten with regular Nutrisystem breakfast, lunch, and dinners. The shipment included only 3 weeks of food and 1 week of the presumed FREE shakes and bars. The shakes and bars are not a substitute for regular meals, yet, I was charged as if I had purchased a full 28 days (a Nutrisystem month). What am I supposed to eat on week 4?

I started Nutrisystem, after the last five years of gaining weight as a result of a broken leg. I kept putting on the weight, and I am not normally a big woman. My top weight was 206 and it was quite uncomfortable for me to get this big. Anyway, I kept seeing Marie Osmond. Beautiful face and her achievement that I finally decided to go ahead and try it out. The first week I lost 8.5 pounds, starting with the shakes and crush bars. I was amazed, so I said okay I am in this to win. I joined the gym, and I reached my one month mark, and have not deviated from the program because I wanted to give it and me a fair shot.
I weighed in yesterday and I am down 19 pounds in the first month. At this rate I hope to be ready for a bathing suit this summer. Thank you to the Nutrisystem company and all the people that support a healthy lifestyle. I am going to keep moving forward to my weight loss goal of losing another 38 pounds to get me to the weight I feel good at. 150 is my goal and I am well on my way!!!

Your shrink-wrapped startup packet didn't include the Turbo Takeoff information. So I didn't have the information I needed to properly use your plan until 3 days in when I found the Turbo Takeoff Booklet while flattening the box for recycling. The booklet was under the bottom box flap of the box that contained the dry foods. My mother who purchased a 4 week plan a couple of weeks before me didn't get a Takeoff book at all, so like her I assumed the Start Guide was exactly what it claimed to be.
The documentation as it was provided was slightly confusing, you really should consider renaming "Quick Start" to something like "Week Two" as the meals described in Quick Start are not the starting point for the plan. Since the Takeoff booklet seems to be packed separately, renaming it "Week Two" would alert the recipient that there were other plan materials in the box that weren't inside the shrink-wrapped packet.
On week 2 the recommended calorie intake of 1200 cal on NuMi app is ALWAYS WAY over 1200 (usually 350 to 400 calories over) when you log the vegetables, Powerfuels, and Smartcarb as shown in the "Quick Start Guide". Are the recommended calories week 2 and beyond supposed to be that much? It's discouraging to always show I'm over on calories when I am following exactly what it says to do in the "Quick Start Guide".
The startup materials should be online, either archived on Leaf or made available under "My Account". I really couldn't believe how poorly the materials were packed and the lack of proper online documentation. It is inconvenient for me because of my work to use chat or call. Based on the appearance of your website for the public I really thought the actual user account would be better. The diet plan is good once you figure out Quick Start isn't the start of the plan and find the loose, packed takeoff booklet if you are lucky enough to get one. I am happy with the weight I've lost so far, this review is only about the plan materials and lack thereof on the website.

To put my review in context: I'm a 32 year old male that is about 15-20 lbs. overweight. I've had trouble with self discipline, which has led to bad habits that contributed to my weight. I have a degree in biology, was a former personal trainer, infantryman in the US army and college athlete. That being said, Nutrisystem is glorified MRE's and gas station food. The portions are small, which in effect, puts you in a very low calorie diet, with little in terms of true nutritional value. If you are the kind of person who is significantly overweight and can stick to a plan religiously, it will certainly work due to calorie restriction. But if you're looking for a healthy discipline, look elsewhere. Also, if you don't read the fine print, beware. Customer service is not your friend if you want to cancel your food subscription after receiving a "promotional discount". Cancellation fees will apply.

Nutrisystem worked well for me. I lost 40 lbs in 6 months. For the short term, I found the food selections and options (shelf or frozen) to be satisfying and quite tasty. Of course, I didn't like everything! Although the cost is substantial over a period of time, I found it to be well worth the cost to not have to spend a great deal of time planning meals for just me. Grabbing a selection of lunch items and taking them to work with me was well worth the money! Good experience.

Unfortunately, I have to say that I am not happy with the service provided by NutriSystem. Initially it took a long time to place my first order. Then, it did not include the activity tracker. After that, I decided to use the chat option. While the individual was able to help me I had to start from the beginning because she said the link was incorrect – so she sent me the correct link via the chat option (that was helpful). After placing my order I requested to have delivery delayed 1 week as I was out of the country. I was told absolutely not (really, I thought - why not?). It was 10 seconds after order was placed. I eventually received the package after arriving home and of course it sat outside for some time (I won't get into that).
Then, I decided this program is not for me. When I went to cancel my subscription they (NutriSystem) charged me $125.00 to get out of the program (glad I got out now – probably goes up more every day to get out). Personally, I recommend staying away from this company as they are very inflexible and were unable to provide acceptable customer service to me.

I have a lot of issues with the program, the website, and helpfulness of Nutrisystem. First issue is the food is terrible. With just a few exceptions it is not good. And it is not nutritious. Too much pasta, too many gooey poor tasting sauces, too much sugar, too much salt. The website is problematic. Printed items were missing from my first box. I went to the website to find them only to find there is no search function. I had to do a lot of grousing around but still could not find them. There were no sample menus so it took me a while to figure out how to put together a decent meal. Which brings up another issue. Nutrisystem gets its low calories per meal not by choosing low-calorie foods but by restricting portion sizes. This does not help me learn how to put together a low cal meal. I could go on but that is enough. One good thing was that it was easy to change the items in my auto-delivery box and delivery was timely.

While the food and program is effective the customer service is absolutely the worst experience. Specifically after you reach your goal trying to cancel the service is a nightmare. You cannot cancel via chat, when they tell you to send an email that doesn't work, if you call expect a hold time of greater than 30 mins. Having done all that expect an additional order and charges to show up. Then it's your responsibility to ship the canceled order back. Good program, terrible people.

I am beginning my second month of Nutrisystem, and while I have had success on the plan, processing and delivery of their products is less than acceptable. I called customer service this evening to inquire the status of my order and after waiting approximately 10 minutes, I was connected to an agent. After I explained the reason for my call, I was put on hold. After another 20 minutes (and yes, I timed it) I hung up. I later called again and was told my food would be delivered within 4-10 "business" days after the date of order processing. 10 businesses days could equate to 3 weeks! If your business is to sell a dietary product, why would you want your customer not to consume your product? Very disappointed. Not sure if I will continue after this month. Not worth the frustration.

I found Peggy to be helpful, knowledgeable, pleasant, and easygoing. She was able to answer my questions, clarify my interpretation of the program and sent me the tracker I needed. I would have no problem calling back to ask a question knowing you have people like her there. Thank you.

On Friday March 10, 2017 I placed an order on the Nutrisystem website. When I clicked Submit My Order I received an error. I have uploaded the error message as I took a screen shot of the error. The next day I noticed my debit card was charged. I placed 6 calls to Nutrisystem customer support and they will not help me because they said they cannot find an order in the system tied to my account. I explained the issue and explained they charged my card $311.21 and the fact that the charge is not tied to my account IS THE ISSUE. They told me I have to cancel the charge with my bank. I called my bank. My bank will not remove the charge because it is not considered fraud since I know how the charge got there. They said I would have to cancel my debit card and get a new one and even then they may not be able to remove the charge.
All of my online bill payments come off of this card. It would be a nightmare going through all of that when the Nutrisystem website is at fault. I was told never to use a debit and always use a credit card and now I know why. I asked each representative to please forward my issue to their IT department or put me through to them so I could explain everything to help them track down my charge and create an order. 6 days later I have gotten nowhere. They have my money that I paid them for an order I will never receive. I am out over $300 and they would not budge to give refund the money. 2 of the representatives got very rude when I asked for a manager and said they are not going to help me any more than they did.
This was a surprise for my wife's birthday. Not only did I miss getting the gift here for her. I also cannot place an order because they have my money I saved up and will not refund my money. So in a nutshell, their website caused the issue during the transaction, my card was charged and the order never finalized. How is that my fault and why would they tell me that I have to handle the error with my bank? I work in IT and I know how easy it is to review the logs and find the issue especially when I know the exact time and date for the to research it. Here I am trying to give them my business and they will do absolutely nothing to help me. All they wanted to do was get off of the phone.
As I type this, I waited on hold for over 41 minutes waiting for a customer service representative to pick up. The hold music stopped and I could hear someone rustling papers and then they hung up on me. I noticed if I click the new order option when calling they pick right up but won't help me. I just tried the cancel order option now and this was my experience. This is call number 7. I tried yesterday and their office was closed due to a snow storm.
This is very sad that a company would treat a new customer this way. I guess I am just a small fish in a big pond to them and my business does not matter. As it looks now, I will never get my order, my money returned to me or my wife's birthday present. The only thing I have is my online bank statement showing the charge and no order to tie it to. I don't even know what to do at this point. $311 may not be a lot of money but it sure is to me. It's not right. I did nothing wrong and this is the service I received.

I started Nutrisystem in late February, the 20th to be exact. To this day, March 15th, I have lost 7 lbs... I was ok with this. Last week I called on the last day of orders to change my order for this coming month... I called today, and have been told, that my order was cancelled and a new one was not placed. I am SO MAD right now. How can a company who is supposed to have a counselling centre NOT follow up on why an order wasn't placed? I can't sit here now, I am in Canada, and wait 10 days for food... This diet may work for people who may get service delivered quicker, but I DO NOT recommend this to any serious people who really want the help to lose weight. I am waiting to hear back from counselling to see what it is I have to do to cancel this disaster I signed up for. What a waste of time.

I started out in early January with a weight of 216 pounds and a desire to lose at least 25 pounds after two months. This was a very aggressive goal, but I was determined. This a legitimate chance to succeed. Month plan the first week of March and I weighed 190 pounds, so I met my goal and more. I loved the food on this diet and only found the first week very difficult. The food was delicious and plentiful during weeks two to eight. I would recommend this diet to anyone interested in quick weight loss. The hard work however begins now, when I am on my own, but I have two other very supportive people in our household to remind me when I desire something that I shouldn't have.

I had tried and tried to manage my auto delivery a la carte order and I was not able to customize my order. After several failed attempts and emails to customer service, it was still not possible for me to customize my order so I called your customer service. The customer service representative on the phone was so professional and although she was not able to customize my order either, she was very kind. When I asked her to cancel my order so that I could start over when I was ready she did so without hassle. It was a very positive experience. I just hope the website gets fixed so that the a la carte can be customized from month to month. Thank you!

Thank you, Nutrisystem for your reply. I understand the your reps are just following company protocols, but what made me angry was the 'too bad, so sad' attitude , as well as the rep hanging up on me. I did use the word '****' when i discovered i was going to be charged $125 when i canceled. The word was an exclamation and not directed at the rep, who then tried to tell me what words I was allowed to use. Needless to say that pissed me off even more, and he hung up before i was allowed to respond to his demand and that left me fuming.
Anyway, it is unfortunate that i had to go through consumer affairs to get some satisfaction, and I'm sure you lost at least one customer and maybe more out of the 15 people who read my review and found it helpful.
What was also unfortunate was that I actually liked the food, and wanted to continue. So I give you that back, Nutrisystem. I am just watching my calorie intake and exercising and might start on the program again in the near future. I really wanted that tracker, so if I see that come up again I will probably give you another try.
Original Review: March 13, 2017
I had been contemplating NS for some time and finally decided to do it. The promotion was for $25 off a month and a fitness tracker. After completing the online form I noticed that I never saw a place to put the code for the $25 off. I immediately (not even more than 2 min) called and was told there was nothing they could do and that I would get $25 off my NEXT order. I was mad but I let it go. When my order arrived the 'fitness tracker' was nowhere to be seen. I called them and again was given the "too bad so sad we'll give you money off your NEXT purchase."
There was a time limit to place the order and I placed my order before it ended. This is a typical thing I have seen with big companies who think they can screw people and get away with it. I will be going to their competition next time (South Beach Diet). This was your classic bait and switch. Nutrisystem is dishonest and I do not recommend them.
I may be just 1 little guy, but I know that enough people will read my review and go elsewhere. And cost them a lot more than the $100 or so they took me for. I don't see how they think that I will do business with a company that has been dishonest with me. They must be from the school of trump ripoffs. Don't be a sucker and patronize Nutrisystem. I'm a very loyal customer when a company is fair with me. CYA, Nutrisystem. Yelp, here I come!

My experience with the program was great until I went to cancel. No mention on the website. No easy way to get out of the program. There is nothing I despise more than a business that tries to lock me in by making it difficult to quit. You might have had an advocate for your program but now I will spend all of my energy telling people to stay away. I will never buy from you again. I lodged a complaint with the BBB and will rate you on every social site I can find with poor ratings. I will also use my skills as someone with 30 years of advertising and marketing to get this message out.
