Nutrisystem Reviews

So many products had tomatoes as the base to their sauce and after 6 months on the program, there just was not enough choices anymore and we lost heart in being on the diet. My wife is now headed for stomach surgery to help her lose weight and since I only need to lose another 30, I am left with trying to find a way to reduce the size of my stomach so I can eat less right along with her as she follows the doctor's plan for her.

The program was very helpful in redefining portion control. I also enjoy reminders of what to eat at what times. The food was good and there was a great variety to choose from. Good results!

To try to make a long story as short as I can, I went on a short trip with my daughter to Chicago with my daughter to her nurse convention. We were given wrong information on getting to our hotel. We ended up having to walk almost two miles. While walking, half of my face went numb. When we got back home, all kinds of test were done but thank the Lord nothing was found wrong with me. My doctor told me I had a warning sign and I have got to lose weight. A member of my family had lost weight with Nutrisystem, so I knew it was a safe diet plan. Nutrisystem has proven to be the best thing that happened to me!

Nutrisystem has proved to be a positive experience for me. Really, I wasn't sure I'd like the food so I bought a 5-day trial at WallyWorld and gave it a try. I loved all of it, some more than others, and opted to sign up for the Men's Basic Plan. My starting weight on 01/26/13 was 205 lbs and I set what I thought was a very optimistic goal of 180 lbs. Sheezam! On 04/08/13, I hit 180 lbs! My most recent weigh-in on 05/11/13 was 173 lbs and I'm holding steady right there. I closely followed the program with few substitutions and added the recommended vegetables and fluids. I did no regular structured exercise but did walk or ride my bicycle 2-3 times a week. A+ Nutrisystem! I knew if Terry Bradshaw could do it, I could do it.

The portion control is a big help in beginning a new way of eating for many who tend to over indulge. There are enough choices that most can find something that will fit their diet, schedule and tastes. If in the beginning one is pretty strict, it helps to motivate you. However, as time goes on, it is somewhat helpful to eat your own food for a few meals during the week so that you learn that you will be able to do this when you get to your goal without being totally dependent on Nutrisystem food forever. I have lost 40 lbs, am a size 6 (down from a 12/14) and smaller than I have ever been, even back in high school.

I started on Nutrisystem (NS) in late November 2012, right at the start of the two holidays with probably the most eating. I have lost 25 lbs as of late April. I then went on a 1-week cruise and am now back on NS, on my way to losing more and surpassing my initial goal. That may not be a lot in that time frame, but the way I see it and from past experience, the slower it comes off, the more likely it will stay off. The plan just works and while I also lost some weight on another plan many years ago (WW), I believe the important differences between these two that are a part of NS are what you eat when and convenience.

Following the plan as directed, I used both a standard menu and then created an a la carte menu of my favorite meals. It took me approximately 200 days to lose the 20 lbs of unnecessary weight to attain my goal of 157 lbs. I am over 60 years old and I am just under 5 feet 10 inches tall. I am very pleased with the success and the ways I have learned to change my eating habits and calorie intake. I am already recommending Nutrisystem to anyone who wants a fast and easy way to carefully and safely take off pounds of unhealthy weight.

All good

I was complaining the other day about not being able to return the product due to the ingredient, Maltitol, that made me ill. This a.m., I spoke with customer service and the rep was very helpful and I can return the unused food items for a refund! My confidence in doing business with the company has gone up considerably. I now understand that if you are like me, sensitive to Maltitol, your counselor can help you select foods without. Thank you, Nutrisystem!

Last year, I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes and placed directly on insulin injections. I turned to Nutrisystem to learn a better and healthier way of eating in hopes of getting my blood sugar under better control. A little more than a year later, I've lost 79 pounds and my nurse practitioner has taken me off the insulin completely. I find the plan easy to follow and the food is tasty. Nutrisystem worked so well for me that I continue to eat their food even though I am at my goal weight now.

I lost over 35 pounds on the program. It's so simple and easy to follow. Upgraded to the Select food and it was delicious. Highly recommend it!

There is no flavor in anything, even the popcorn. I bought the one week sample plan and so far have thrown away six items after one bite. I did like the ham and beans soup. I was expecting far better taste and texture from all the raves I hear. This food is not worth the money I paid, even at discount. My husband won't eat it either and he eats everything.

My work schedule often results in long days and I am too tired to cook or even think about what I want to eat for dinner when I get home. Nutrisystem has made it very easy for me to select from a healthy, interesting and tasty variety of meals with just a little prep time for some steamed veggies to accompany the entrees. I found myself looking forward to dinner with the variety of choices. It is almost like dining out every night, choosing from a restaurant menu. I have achieved my goal weight but am continuing with Nutrisystem to maintain it for the same reasons it worked to lose the weight. It works well for my lifestyle.

I knew I had reached a point in my life where I had to do something about my weight or be miserable the rest of my life. I had been unhappy for years about it, but continued to eat; food was my best friend. I decided to try Nutrisystem because I did not have to make a big deal out of preparing meals. That attracted me the most. I had done another weight loss program but did not like counting points and planning what to cook everyday. This plan works. The food is very good. There are a few items that I did not care for but only a few. I just removed them from my plan the next month and replaced them with something I knew I liked.

I ordered the packaged meal from Nutrisystem in March 2013. I only ate 10% of meals due to the taste was not pleasing nor fresh (packaged food). I tried to cancel my order to prevent the 2nd food shipment arriving since I did not eat the first. The sales representative was not very nice, and because I cancel the order, she said I would be penalized by having to pay $82.00. I told her I did not know this and she said it’s part of the contract. They automatically debit my account! Such a freaking scam.

I became a member 5 weeks ago. I ordered the family plan for me and my husband. His order shipped out the same day. My order, I had to call, email, call, email. Customer service is horrible. I've never been treated so poorly. One lady, Margaurite, is the only nice one there. Here we are, month #2, and same problem. I've called, emailed, called, emailed and now 5 days after I've been charged my order, I am being told it's in the warehouse. Mind you, that's where it was 5 days ago too. So, of course, they have their money and I have nothing but a headache. Do not fall for this like I did. Save your money and the stress. I will never recommend Nutrisystem to anyone. I will definitely let everyone know of the hassle I've been through and the nasty customer service received. And yes, minimum of 30 minutes on hold every time!

I would tell anyone to do this program. I have lost 21.3 pounds in 14 weeks. It is so easy and the food is great. I'm so proud of myself! I have gotten my sister-in-law and my aunt to join and they are doing great too. This program has given me a life I never thought I would have and a body I never dreamed I could have! Thank you, Nutrisystem!

My husband and I started on Nutrisystem on Feb. 27, 2012. He has lost 80 pounds and I have lost 95! We were both ready for a lifestyle change. It took us about a week to get into the Nutrisystem routine and to learn which foods we could have and when. There have only been a few items on the menu that we didn't like but with so many choices, it's not a problem. One of the lessons I have learned is that it takes time and planning to eat healthy. If we are going out to eat, I check the restaurant menu beforehand so I have an idea of what my best choice is.

I have been very happy with the Nutrisystem food and the weight I and my wife have lost. However, I am not at all pleased with the software that we have to use. The problem is that it will not work when we go to order our food. It took us two orders before we figured out that our orders had been wrong for three months. Problem is every time you put in a change in an order, it says that it is saving and moving to another meal. Then when you try to finish your order and save, it locks up and never saves your order, and then your order comes incorrect.

My weight management journey has been a roller coaster of successes and failures, but mostly failures. I tried to make up for my growing waistline by living a happy, fulfilling life, yet, when I was completely honest with myself, my obesity always undermined my ultimate happiness. I just wasn't happy in my own body and nothing I could do really solved that problem. Having tried other weight loss programs unsuccessfully only added to my feeling of failure; I felt as if I was destined to be overweight for the rest of my life! Feeling trapped and eating more to combat the stress of life, I began to feel the negative health effects of my eating and lifestyle choices. Things weren't getting better; they were getting worse!

I have found Nutrisystem easy to follow, the food very tasty, and comprehensive in its scope for weight loss and control. I am thrilled with the program and even more so with my results.

Lost 52+ pounds on Nutrisystem - I have Type 1 Diabetes with complications of peripheral neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, high blood pressure and hypothyroid disease. Before I started Nutrisystem, I was struggling terribly with my health. I was starting to become depressed because I couldn't do anything. It hurt too bad to walk or stand for more than a few minutes at a time. My diabetes was in a higher range than it should be; I just was so miserable. Once I started Nutrisystem, I knew I wasn't going to break off this plan because my health was in jeopardy and my life was in jeopardy. I needed an easy plan, a plan that was going to be easy to follow and one that I can live with the rest of my life.

On my 46th birthday, I was 240 pounds. I made a decision to lose weight and to live a healthy life. I chose Nutrisystem. I learned portion sizes and I also learned to love vegetables. Small portions are great. Don't worry though, you'll eat again in a few hours. It's a great plan.

What impressed me most is that the food was good the first time I was on the plan, however, the second time around the food has gotten even better. Makes it easy to stick with my goals. I have gotten numerous compliments and each time I recommend Nutrisystem.

Realizing that both my wife and I were overweight, eating unhealthy fattening foods, not knowing anything about dieting, I continued to procrastinate until a doctor's warning made us realize that our unhealthy lifestyle would shorten our lives! We concluded that we must immediately take control of our lives if we wanted to live longer, see our four grandchildren of various ages grow up, get married and live to become great grandparents! Not knowing anything about dieting, I decided that whatever program I started with had to be easy to learn, provided telephone assistance whenever I need it, not require cooking skills, attendance at meetings or keeping track of calories and points. These requirements were important to me since my wife is partially disabled and I prepare all meals and snacks.

I set out to lose 35 lbs. and, along the way, figure out what proportion sizes should be for someone my age and size. It was an excellent learning experience. The food was good, and the weight loss achieved. I would recommend it, especially for its educational value in learning, not just learning about the appropriate quantities.

I successfully lost 30 pounds in three months and have kept, during the last two years, 25 of them off! Following the instructions is crucial, but if done with excuses, it does not exist for the lost weight!

This program has been great for me. I lost 25 pounds (my goal) in 6 months and have kept it off for 8 months now. I love being able to take my food with me anywhere because I travel a lot, and I’m always on the go. I also love being able to eat unlimited quantities of veggies. It’s very important to me because I have a history of diverticulitis so I need a high fiber diet. Overall, it’s the best diet plan I have ever tried. I can see myself staying on this forever. Oh, the food tastes great!

I am 5' 5" tall, and I weighed 180 lbs. My doctor was constantly telling me I was in danger of developing diabetes if I didn't get my weight down. I went on Nutrisystem and started losing a couple of pounds each month. I have attained my goal weight and continue to maintain it with Nutrisystem and exercise. I walk a mile almost every day. I had to give all my 38" waist pants away because I am now 4" thinner; I bought new pants and shorts. I had a family member tell me how hard it is to cook healthy food, and I thought I eat healthy food and don't sweat over a stove cooking. I just use the microwave and eat raw vegetables and fruit. The trouble with most people is they lack discipline and you do need that to succeed in losing weight. If you have discipline, you can with Nutrisystem.

I lost weight but gained half back. I've had bumps in the road. I'm trying to straighten out - loss of my brother, then boyfriend left, had an accident and recovered from that, and then hit with the flu down 2 months. I'm not giving up. I know I can recover and lose the weight again. Take one day at a time. Life is full of bumps in the road.

I had never really had a problem with my weight before turning 50, having gone through menopause and having quit smoking. I was 50 pounds overweight (the most I had ever weighed in my life) and did not have a clue as to how to start dieting. I decided to try Nutrisystem after having seen the TV commercials and checking the website out. It took me about one year to lose the weight, and it was the easiest thing I had ever done. The first thing I learned is that it is not a diet, but a lifestyle change, portion control and healthy choices being a huge part of it. I had taken nutrition classes, but it took doing the Nutrisystem program to get me to eat breakfast (can't imagine a day without it now) and to eat fruits and veggies.

The food tastes good. I liked how you can pick your menu. The diet is very easy to stay on. However, I wish the diet would have more fruit rather than vegetables.

One year ago, my husband & I both realized it was time to go on a diet. I had tried Nutrisystem in the past and knew it worked. We started on the plan in early 2012. One year later, he has lost 85 pounds and I am down 67! We joined a gym and exercise at least 6 days a week. We are now in transition - weekends on our own. So far we are maintaining our weight loss.

I LOVE the Nutrisystem plan and am thankful everyday that I finally took the plunge to "try it". I've been maintaining a 60-pound weight loss for over a year and plan to continue using what I've learned to eat this way for the rest of my life. I've always kept an eye on my weight but once I reached the age of 50, the pounds kept piling on, and ways I'd used to lose in the past weren't working anymore. I weighed more than I ever had and was miserable. I looked at Nutrisystem as my last chance and gave it my all, following it to the letter. I participated in the support forums, which are invaluable, and added moderate exercise. I FELT better after just a couple of days of eating right and just knew it was going to work. It was, and is, the simplest way to eat healthy and keep those unwanted pounds from creeping on. Thank you, Nutrisystem!

I had a wonderful experience and have recommended Nutrisystem to family and friends! It was so convenient and the meals were tasty! I learned a lot about portion size. If I had to choose again, I would definitely choose Nutrisystem!

My husband and I started Nutrisystem in October of 2012. Our goal was to lose 50+ lbs each and we committed to doing the program for one year. I'm happy to report it only took six months for both of us to hit our goal. Together, we lost 110 lbs, nearly the weight of our teenage son! Thank you, Nutrisystem! It's been over a year and we've maintained our weight loss. Nutrisystem helped break bad habits, taught us to eat smaller portions throughout the day and to drink often! After my 50 lb weight loss, I have started an exercise program and set a new goal, to ride 180 miles in the Trek across Maine. I completed my first Trek and plan to do it again in June 2013. We're the healthiest we've been in years!

I love Nutrisystem because of the portion-sized meals! Even now after reaching my goal (losing 30 pounds), I don't want to give up the convenience (and deliciousness) of my Nutrisystem meals! I am maintaining my goal weight by continuing to eat mostly Nutrisystem meals but allowing myself some occasional meals out or some additional snacks or treats. Nutrisystem was a great weight-loss program and continues to be a great way of life for me.

I lost more than 200 pounds, thanks to Nutrisystem. The program really helped me turn my life around for the better. I love how structured it is. It's very easy to follow.

I needed to lose 30 pounds and I have a busy schedule, so I wanted it to be relatively simple. Nutrisystem makes it pretty easy to stay on the diet because of all the choices within fairly defined categories. The food is tasty and I eat often enough that I am rarely hungry. I lost consistently about 1-2 pounds per week for the first 6 months and then I leveled out. Now, I still follow the diet but not quite as strictly and I am not gaining and I still feel satisfied. One of the biggest things I have learned is portion control. I can have most any food but in smaller quantities. I also have learned how to choose types of food to eat that maintains a healthy balance of protein, carbohydrate and vegetables. I am very happy to be weighing what I weighed when I got married 38 years ago! My husband loves it too.

I had serious doubts and was pretty skeptical going in to trying Nutrisystem, but it just seemed like such a simple plan. I hoped that it would take the thought out of trying to lose weight. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food tasted and it SERIOUSLY worked. I lost almost 90 pounds and dropped 8 sizes in under a year! I have never been a size 4 EVER. Now I have the tools in place to stay the NEW ME forever. I owe it all to Nutrisystem.

I started my journey with Nutrisystem in July 2010, weighing in at 170.5 pounds! My goal was to lose 40 pounds, which I did in 5 and 1/2 months. Then from stepping up my exercise routine, I lost another 13 pounds in 2 months and have maintained my weight loss ever since! I went from a size 14 to a size 4! It was EASY!!! The food was great and I never felt like I was on a diet. In fact, I still order the food because it is so convenient and I love it! I am 60 years old and feel so amazing. I am so proud of what I have accomplished. People always are telling me how amazing I look and I have had 12 people join Nutrisystem because of my results.

Before starting on the Nutrisystem program, I had tried a number of ways to reduce my weight, which ranged between 190 and 200 pounds. Some of these programs even worked (at one point I had lost about 25 pounds), but only for a limited period of time. Within six months, I always regained all the weight I had lost and then some. I started on Nutrisysem 7 or 8 years ago. Within 8-10 months from the start date, I lost about 30 pounds. I’m down to 165 pounds, and I am still there today. For the last several years, I have relaxed the regimen, and I am on what I would call a "maintenance program". I place my order with Nutrisystem every other month (+/-), instead of once a month, and that enables me to stay where I have been for the past several years. The food is good, with lots of choices, and not expensive. I can only say: "Thanks Nutrisystem"!

Nutrisystems is a good way to lose a lot of weight! I reduced my weight from 260 to 210 pounds in 6 months!!! Problem now is to keep the weight off.

My experience with Nutrisystem has been exceptional. I was determined to lose weight with the announcement of my son's wedding. I had been overweight since his birth. The stresses and sadness in my life had continued to add more and more weight on. I had tried every diet imaginable with little success, only to give up after a short while or stop and gain it all back plus more. I had really come to the conclusion that weight loss was impossible for me, and that a heavy person is who I had to be. I didn't like doing anything in public, even with family, because I hated what I looked like and felt even worse. I despised clothes shopping. I had a year to lose 90 pounds, and although I wanted to lose it, I truly had no idea how.

I found the Nutrisystem to be the perfect solution for me. I started the program the first week of November 2012. As of the end of April 2013, I've lost 45 pounds. The program is easy to follow and the food is good. The online help really can be of assistance. I never felt hungry and learned many useful tips to help when buying groceries and when eating out.

I lost about 85 pounds, and I think the portion control provided by Nutrisystem was a big factor in my success. The meals were tasty enough, especially the Chef’s table frozen dinners and the frozen breakfast choices.

Nutrisystem changed everything for me. I have tried many diets and all never really help me get to my weight lost goals. This diet was so easy and so good. I just had to stick with it. After losing 35 pounds, I truly am speechless. I love the food and the program. Now, I am conducting the insanity workout program with Nutrisystem and the fat is just melting away. I love it! Thanks Nutrisystem!

I struggled my entire life with being overweight, besides a brief period in my teens. I’ve tried every fad diet, from a shake to cabbage soup, and bad health as well. In June of 2010, I joined Nutrisystem. I was amazed at how delicious and convenient the food is. I never have the feeling of being deprived or hungry! I lost 61 lbs. I am now thin, healthy and happy! I highly recommend the Nutisystem plan.

My wife and I went on the program in late August. I wanted to lose 10 lbs. and set a goal of 20. She wanted to lose more. Neither of us looked all that heavy but we needed to lose. In December, I had lost 37 lbs. and she had lost about 30 lbs. My doctor told me not to lose anymore but was thrilled with my new physique. My wife had lost about 25 lbs. by then, and I had lost just short of 40 lbs by now. It is an easy program. Our kids are long gone so it is just the two of us. I travel as a business owner, and I can do fine with it on the road. We know portion size, when to eat, and it is a breeze. We highly recommended it. No brain damage trying to count calories, etc. Most of the food is good to great, and we eat tons of vegetables, etc. Thanks. The new wardrobe is a welcome expense!

After years of failed diet attempts, yo-yo dieting, starvation dieting, and binge eating, I finally listened to my husband and ordered Nutrisystem. He had no connection whatsoever with Nutrisystem other than what he had seen on advertisements and thought it was worth a try. At that point, I was miserable, gaining weight and was beginning to feel like "this is just what the 40’s look like". I agreed to try Nutrisystem as a last ditch effort at weight loss. If I failed at this last attempt, I honestly believe I would have thrown the towel in entirely on dieting and my health and just continued to progressively gain more and more weight as I continued to age.

It’s extremely easy to follow. They have great food. I lost 30 lbs. in 4 months while training for a marathon. I never felt weak. In fact, I felt as I never did before in 4 years of long distance running.

I have been using Nutrisystem for almost two years and have lost about 70 lbs. Overall, I am very satisfied, especially with customer service. The biggest complaint would have to be the way they handled changing the Advance to Success. So many ready-to-go foods were discontinued and NOTHING to replace them with for almost a year. The attention changed to frozen. The program taught us portion control! Wow, that was a big one for us. It got us eating even more vegetables and fruits and really learning to balance our eating with exercise. Maintenance could use a little more help, like some online weekly tips of the variety they use for the first 13 weeks on the program.

Nutrisystem has worked very well for me. I did get down to my goal weight, and now I am trying to maintain it. I had extra dinners since I go out several times a week, so I delayed the deliveries. During this time, I have tried to find comparable foods in the grocery stores, but I find that even the diet foods do not make me full and so I eat more. Having gained back several pounds, I am looking forward to my Nutrisystem delivery so I can actually get back on track! Thank you for this fantastic system!

I highly recommend Nutrisystem for weight loss. I am on the dietary program, have lost the weight and brought my sugar intake down. I am extremely happy that I was able to control my sugar intake without medication. The food tastes very good and the portion is just enough for me.

I am physically limited and unable to exercise. Nutrisystem is perfect for me because it is portion controlled and balanced. I have lost 46 pounds and have reached my goal weight. I continue with the program, and I am slowly moving towards adding table foods.

I started the Nutrisystem program in June 2010. I found that I was able to lose more than 20 pounds in a few months. I went off the program after that. To my surprise, I was able to go right back on a few months later. I have never been able to go back on any diet program a second time, but Nutrisystem made that possible because the food is satisfying and there is so much variety. It doesn't feel like a great sacrifice to return after a vacation or a holiday. I have done this several times, bringing my weight lower each time. Recently, I reached a total weight loss of 64 pounds, well beyond my original goal. At age 63, I feel healthier and stronger, and my doctor has lowered or discontinued several medications. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that my life expectancy has probably been extended by Nutrisystem.

It felt like the pounds were melting off. The tracker is easy to use and a big help! I have stayed on the plan and maintained my weight.

To date, I have lost 51 lbs. I am very pleased with my progress. I have delayed my shipment for two months. I have not gained any weight. I have been able to maintain my weight loss to date. I have a great fear of gaining my weight back. My shipment is due to arrive in the next two weeks. My fear is that when I stop Nutrisystem, I will gain my weight back. I find it difficult to program a daily menu with my family.

Generally, I am pleased with my Nutrisystem experience. It helped me reach my goal and taught me concepts that should help me maintain my weight. After three months into my experience, I was no longer able to customize my order online. Several calls to customer service over several months failed to make any progress in resolving the issue. They said I should delete my cookies. I could not make changes from four different computers using two different browsers on each computer. "We can change your order for you," they said. That's not the point; I wanted to change it. I should be able to change it because it’s designed to be user maintainable using the web, so fix it. I will tell my friends that the program works, but if you need customer service, you are screwed. They just don't care about that aspect. I'll also tell them about your substitutions of food that I don't like for what I ordered because you have shortages (e.g. months without Chef's entree's and other subs). If I had not lost the weight I wanted to lose, I would be irate. Instead, I'm just disappointed you failed to measure up on customer service when it would have been relatively easy to succeed.

I am extremely pleased with Nutrisystem and its results. I hit my goal weight a few months ago and remained on the program. I am a busy business owner, mom and non-cook, so needless to say, I need something that is easy and no muss, no fuss. Nutrisystem is it! It's easy to stick to the program and it gives you enough variance to make it work. You need to follow the rules, though, or I suspect your results might not happen as you expect. As a middle-aged woman who has been stagnant at the same weight for literally 20+ years, Nutrisystem is the easy, structured program to get my metabolism off its proverbial dime. I highly recommend Nutrisystem. Thank you, Marie Osmond and Jillian Barberie, for your inspiration!

I like Nutrisystem because they make making meal choices easy. The food is not that bad and again, it's easy to make a daily selection. The only thing I would change is not everyone likes mushrooms, peppers and Latino type food. I see nothing that is for the plain taste bud person... or of maybe, Polish-tasting food. Therefore, sometimes it is difficult to make good choices when they stay within certain ethnic tasting foods.

Nutrisystem sent us a free week of food and finally sent us the full order.

It is good quality, excellent service, reasonable price and effective! I have recommended to friends who also have had good results plus I would get a discount for the recommendation.

After being on Nutrisystem for 15 months, I have lost a significant amount of weight - over 60 pounds - and have been maintaining that loss for several months. The areas of the program that were most beneficial to me were the online support and the re-thinking about the meaning of food - when it is eaten, if there are triggers associated with overeating, what food meant and means to me. For me, this was a process that took some time but during that time, I was consistently losing weight and feeling healthier and happier.

I have cancelled my order as well as any future food orders. I'm very disappointed with service. My food was shipped to the wrong address. I will take the blame for wrong zip the first time, but reorder was shipped to same wrong address after numerous calls and emails.

I posted a concern on here on April 24th and Nutrisystem emailed me saying they are giving me a full refund and returning the auto ship $80+ fee as well. Although Nutrisystem is not for me for my weight loss management, I am very pleased with their refund and them considering my situation. I am also very happy it works for so many out there. Thank you again for hearing my concerns and the refund!

I bought the $44.95 starter kit from Wal-Mart at the end of March. I had two purposes in mind when I decided to try it: First, about three years ago, I lost 40 lbs but have gained back about half of that and I felt that trying something new would help maintain my interest in losing weight; and second, my wife was going to be out of town for 5 days and this would enable me to easily prepare balanced meals while she was gone. I made the mistake of providing my contact info on their website, which appears to be a requirement in order for you to download a more detailed list of the additional food you must add to the contents of the kit.

I was moving and having surgery. I called customer service and I received a "no problem" response. I sent an email just in case. I received, "We will get back with you within 72 hours." No one did. I received a ship notice on the order. I called customer service and was on hold for 45 minutes, and got a hang up. I called customer service as soon as I was able after my procedure, one business day later. I was told the delivery was already made. I was on the phone this time for about 40 minutes, most of which was spent on hold. Rep told me if they can retrieve the order, I should receive notification within the next 15 days. I asked for a code of some sort to ensure this was being attended to. No such thing.

I joined Nutrisystem on March 17th, 2013 and I would like to say I am sorry to hear some of these things being said about Nutrisystem. I have called for help many times since I joined and I continue to always get help in the same positive and helpful manner from all NS counselors anytime I call or email. I let NS handle my first order because I wasn't really sure how. So when my first order came, I wasn't really happy with the choices. On my 2nd order, I did my own and picked what I liked which made all the difference in the world. It's a wonderful, workable program for anyone with a mind to lose weight and learn how to continue on a healthy lifestyle w/o NS. Nutrisystem, you're the best. Thanks.

They don't give you much info, even after you order. One size does not fit all! The program works great for a lot of people, I would say over 60%. You do have to exercise which they say you don't! You do have to plan out your meals and go shopping and find and plan all the "extras" that go with their food. It's very misleading. When you call the dietitian for help, all you get are canned answers, "Oh, you will lose it, just keep it up," or "Try this instead," which doesn't work or makes you gain weight. You keep calling back, and it's the same thing - so frustrating! It's great for the masses though, if you have enough money although it is not the healthiest ever with too much sugar and flour and corn.

I am very pleased with the response to my complaint. It was resolved to my satisfaction with a very polite response. Thank you Nutrisystem for checking into the complaint so quickly and efficiently.

I'm sad to see all these negative reviews, as I have so many positive things to say about Nutrisystem so far. I actually think the food (I do not get frozen food) is pretty darn good so far. I've had a few stinkers (some canned pasta taste like SpaghettiOs! ick) and I called customer service a few days ago and they exchanged them all for me, for items I like instead. I was also very concerned about the portions being so small, as before this diet I was eating a whole lot more but I feel full and satisfied when I'm done eating the meals they provide, as well as the suggested add-ins. Granted I'm only a week into the diet; I look forward to my meals. I'm learning to plan what I eat as opposed to just "wing it" like I normally do and I've already lost 4 lbs.

I'm curious as to why a 5 star rating from 9 months ago is listed at the top. Also, is there any screening to prevent Nutrisystem employees from submitting the good ratings? I noticed most reviewers are not very happy. Be aware that if you sign up, the price may drop afterwards. You can sign up in good faith, and then get an email two weeks later that the program is now offered at $60 less, $30 each for 2 months. The $60 may not mean a lot to many folks, including the customer service representative at Nutrisystem, but it is a lot to me. I don't like companies that make me feel I got cheated. Also, I don't expect to have to read fine print in order to not get screwed. Thank goodness not every company is not like this one.

Nutrisystem will say that they will give you some incentives to go on their auto payment, renewal, and reward you with buddy bucks. They do not honor this agreement. Don't be fooled by their empty promises.

I have been on the program for 3 days - the food is okay at best. I have not been able to be in the site to track things since on two of the three days. I have let the company know through FB and they gave me an email to complain to - no response to my email. I'm sick of trying to work a system that is pricey and doesn't do anything for me. I honestly have lost almost 2 pounds for three days of eating the food, but still. I want answers.

I used the Walmart $44.95 Nutrisystem plan and it was so salty. I thought the food was okay and would have stuck with it, but I don't really eat that much salt. It caused such a fluctuation in weight because of the salt that I couldn't get a handle on it. There should be something better. It is not worth the money.

I had to jump in here, and I am glad I didn't see this site before trying the diet or perhaps I wouldn't have. First off, people are saying that it is full of preservatives. Well yes, that is true for the stock food (unrefrigerated entrees). If there were no preservatives, it would rot before it got there; much as well last you for 28 days. Did you think that you could sign up for a program where they send you convenient food that lasts a month that is sugar free, gluten free, pure vegetarian, preservative free, and prepared at your feet? If companies could do that, all companies would have awesome shelf food with no preservatives, and we would be happier for it. Seriously, if you want 100% preservative free, do the wheat grass diet; you take vitamins in the morning and drink a small dixie cup of wheatgrass three times a day. I guarantee you will lose 4 lbs a week, and it is 100% natural and preservative free.

I called to get information and somehow, they got my work info and have been calling me non-stop. Talk about pushy! After reading the crappy reviews about the food, there is no way I would buy from this company. They seem desperate to make a sale and hopefully, they will go out of business.

This food is so bad for a person. It is full of junk, additives and preservatives. The pictures of the food is false advertising. What you see is food before it is frozen. The celebrities should feel ashamed of promoting something that is useless!

When I received my first shipment, I was very excited. That was until I opened the box, then I began to get sick. I had no idea what I had gotten myself into, but I just could not believe the garbage I was looking at that was called food. The stuff arrived in a three-tier box. The fist tier was full of Breakfast foods, or what was supposed to be food, muffins, donuts, and basically candy bars. The sugar and preservative contents were off the charts and the calories 175-200 per item, which was not a very healthily selection for any diet. Lunches were not much better - an assortment of meals in foil pouches and tin cans, noodles (just add water), peanut butter and jelly sandwiches disguised as candy bars. Again, the preservatives and sugar content were enough to raise the dead. Finally, dinner meals - dehydrated hamburgers with no buns, meals in trays, and not one frozen item.

Somewhere in their long terms and conditions list, it indicates an additional charge for cancelling early, but it does not say specifically how much you will be charged. It was also not clear that an order required auto-delivery. One of my food packages had opened during shipment, I assume, and there was onion/cheese powder all over everything. I later found a package with an attached "dust bunny" - complete with a dead bug. The food is edible but does produce gas often and diarrhea sometimes. The diet works and you will still feel hungry, but the company business method is unsatisfactory and the product is not worth the money. I cancelled my credit card to avoid issues with them.

I wanted to lose about 30 lbs. With my busy schedule, I wanted to use an organized program. The program is organized, but the food is a big disappointment; very high in carbohydrates and mostly junk. The entrées are very bland, all of this while they restrict you to 1500 calories a day for men and 1200 calories a day for women. After I phoned Nutrisystem (you cannot cancel online as they don't want you to) and cancelled, they decided to charge me an additional $107.00 saying it was for shipping. I would not recommend this diet. You can get the same results and eat much healthier and better food by just exercising 30 minutes a day and restricting your calorie intake.

I joined Nutrisystem because, being a very busy person, I wanted a convenient weight loss plan. I signed up for the auto ship after reading their money-back guarantee. After seeing my shipment of food, my mother who is diabetic decided to sign up for their diabetic program. First, let me say that I didn't expect the food to be great but I did expect it to be edible! Most of it was awful! The worst part is that it gave me terrible gas and upset my stomach! My mother's blood sugar, after being on the diabetic program, shot way up! Their food contains way too many carbohydrates for anyone who is diabetic.

Nutrisystem is running ads claiming you can lock into last year’s prices. I used Nutrisystem for about five months last year and paid $259.99 per month (last year’s price). I went to reorder this year, but the same plan now costs $279 and does not include the shakes as per last year. Shakes are an additional $30. So, the total same plan I used last year would cost me $309 this year. Maybe I have the math wrong, but $50 more for the same plan as last year is not getting last year’s prices! If that’s not false advertising, I’m not sure what is.

I spent more than $300 for a month's supply of what looked like delicious meals. In fact, they were shown in photos and on TV before they were freeze dried. Most of them came in small packets that resembled the food used by astronauts. Awful. At the very least, the practices they use are deceptive. The photos of the food are nothing like what is sent to you in a small cardboard box. I lost no weight and it was due to the fact that the food was unpalatable. Sure, celebrities can tout it. They get $50K. I hope they lose their license to advertise.

I bought it from Walmart and they are starter kits and, thank goodness, I did because two boxes unopened are going back and the opened one is going in the garbage. The food is horrible and scary. I was on this diet for four days and, by the end of the third day, I was nauseated to just think of the next meal I had to force down. The food is so bad and the lasagna was actually greasy. Ugh! When I think of the taste, I get sick. I had no energy whatsoever and I became very worried because when I diet, I am filled with energy even more since I am making healthy choices for my meals.

I read the disclaimers, received and paid for two deliveries as required. I called to cancel and planned to "eat" the cost of the unused product. The representative told me I could return the unused product for a refund within three weeks. So, after spending $40 to FedEx the box back, I waited. Three weeks came and went with no refund. When I called customer service to inquire about the refund, I was told the refund required manager approval, which could take another week and may not be approved. I'm really pissed about this. It seems like a bait and switch to get their unused meals back to resell to another sucker. There's nothing I dislike more than shady people and shady companies. From my experience, NutriSystem clearly falls in that category.

I won't complain about the Nutrisystem program being misleading. I knew I had to take 2 months of shipment to get the discounted price. And I didn't really expect the food to be delicious as claimed by all the stars getting paid millions to lie. But the food was worse than awful, particularly the ready to eat (aka irradiated) meals. The only flavoring they seem to use is red pepper; most of the dishes are pasta or noodle based - that sure doesn't help me control my Italian cravings - and the texture of the food is nauseating. I suffered through it for a full 30 days and stuck to the program. I didn't lose a pound and decided I couldn't suffer another 30 days for nothing and pay an additional $320 when I could bail out for $100.00.

Read the fine print. You will be charged for canceling the program before your two-month agreement has ended. Worse, this is the poorest quality food I've ever eaten in my life. And in college, I ate most of my meals from vending machines, cheap frozen pizza boxes and instant noodle soup packages. Every meal tasted like canned food marketed to children in the 1960s. Even the desserts were awful. Your favorite television documentary would probably call this a compilation of ingredients to avoid. Before you buy into this glitzy ad campaign, do yourself a favor and read every one of the consumer complaints on this site. Read the list of ingredients for each package of food you think you want to try (click on the food item, and you can get nutrition info for each one). And instead of looking over the pictures of prepared and professionally photographed food on the site, picture your food in a paper soup cup or in air-locked plastic wrap. Save yourself the time, the hassle and the money that pays for mass television and print advertising. This is inferior food accompanied by a seriously misleading money-back guarantee.

I have been struggling to eat the nasty food that was sent to me by Nutrisystem. Yes, I've lost about 20 pounds in about 1.5 months. I literally starved myself. When I went off the diet and resumed eating regular food, I put the 20 plus 10 pounds right back on. If you want to lose weight, do it the healthy way by eating regular food and exercise. I cannot afford to continue this diet. I have tried numerous times to cancel my order but the company keeps on billing my account. I did what a previous complainant did and cancelled my credit card. It is a shame that I had to revert to this drastic measure. One would think that a company like this would honor their product. I'm sure that there have been moviestars who endorsed this product that have never been on Nutrisystem and gone to a fat camp to lose their weight. Shame on them!

Contrary to what is mentioned or not about cancelling an order, I personally talked to a representative in PA when I placed my order, and he literally informed me that there was no charge for an early cancellation. I did not fill out any information or check any block on the Nutrisystem website when I ordered. Needless to say, I was charged anyway for an early cancellation. Maria Osmond and the over tanned chick in a bikini and heels need to reexamine their endorsement of this product along with Terry Bradshaw. I guess they all need the money they get paid. So consumer, beware and save your money and don't get involved with this company.

I have been on this program for 3 weeks. I called support just to ask questions about my plan and others. I hung up then got VM and email stating my account was cancelled. They will charge me $61.50 and should expect that in 5 to 10 days! Seriously? When I called angry, they said, "We offer our apologies." Wow, really?! Who cares if my account is overdrawn too. That's my problem. Wow! Never again!

Be certain you read the disclaimers, etc. before signing up. I thought I was buying a one month program, but I ended up being told that I was on the auto-delivery program, and that it would cost me $107 to cancel. I went back and found that there was a statement to the fact that I was accepting the auto program. It was one of those small disclaimer listings that one seldom reads. I just figured that such a large company would be an honest one. Stay away from them and just eat less. Let the buyer (me) beware.

I recently purchased the Nutrisystem $319 program. After being on it for 2 weeks, I decided to cancel. When I called Nutrisystem to do this, I had to wait approximately 15 minutes for someone to come to the line. It took me at least 5 minutes to cancel, and the lady wouldn't be quiet long enough for me to talk. Anyway, in the end, I managed to cancel my next order only to find out that I would be charged an extra $99 for my first order shipping charges. When I told the lady that I wasn't told this would happen, she said it was on the contract. What contract? You mean to tell me that it cost Nutrisystem $99 to ship me an order?

I called to cancel the program after trying for several months. Really terrible food. Mostly freeze dried and frozen meals. Terrible. Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice are much better tasting. The new Chef's Choice in Nutrisystem is the worst yet. Very rarely do you even get what you asked for with frequent substitutions. In addition, trying to cancel was unbelievable. Someone named Thanaria, who kept calling me ma'am although I am a man, insisted I must discuss my weight loss with her before they could cancel the program. It took 20 minutes of me repeatedly telling her I did not want to discuss this and her repeatedly putting me on hold before she finally cancelled it. She then, in an extremely sarcastic voice, remarked good luck with your 68 pound weight loss before hanging up. Marie Osmond should be ashamed to represent a company with such shoddy business practices.

After reading the comments posted here, I see I am not the only one being lied to, ripped off, and victimized! Cancelling the whole thing is a big mess. They will charge you for something that did not exist ($107), and then they will tell you they cancelled it, and a month later, you will get another charge again. Let this be a lesson to me to check online whether there are any complaints about the company I will do business with. Hopefully, it is not too late for you. Save yourself a big headache and a few hundred dollars. It's really bad food and lying customer service reps.

My biggest complaint is that cancelling is a pain. You have to call customer service which is really the sales department and explain exactly why you want to cancel. (Yes, the message being played over and over while on hold is enough to make Mother Theresa lose it.) I told them that I was allergic to practically everything and that still wasn't good enough! After going back and forth for about 10 minutes and me saying "I want to cancel the order" about 30 times, the sales guy got very irate and cancelled it. I did get an email confirming that the auto-shipment was cancelled. What really made me mad though was he kept asking me how much weight I lost, what I weighed now, etc. I thought that was extremely rude. I was sitting at my desk at work, trying to handle this discreetly. Not cool.

I just started the diet a month ago, and I have to admit, there is room for improvement. I consider myself a foodie. My large Italian has approximately eight chefs who cook amazingly delicious restaurant-quality foods. So, yes, I am disappointed in Nutrisystem's food quality, but I didn't expect gourmet foods, either. On the plus side, it's quick and easy when you use the microwave to cook the foods. The on-the-go meals, such as the breakfast and lunch bars, are scrumptious. The waffles and French toast are delicious. The frozen desserts are yummy; the chocolate covered pretzels are my favorite; and they teach you how to portion your food and incorporate fruits/vegetables with your meals.

I went to cancel as the food was horrible and such small portions you would starve. They insisted I had to pay for another month. The website is complicated and does not give you any info on canceling. You have to spend forever searching. I would not recommend anyone try this program. You can do this program on your own by cutting portions you now eat in half. Do not waste your time and money on this program!

Most of the food was horrible. Anything with chicken in it was gross. I would never have signed up for this if I had realized I would be charged ninety dollars to cancel. I will tell everyone I know about this. I will recommend to anyone who will listen to never sign up with Nutrisystem.

I'm actually not angry at Nutrisystem. I tried them! I knew that if I cancelled after the first month, I would be charged an ungodly amount of money! I figured I would give it a go for 2 months. After all, it can't be that bad. I can do anything for 2 months. The food came very quickly, in a ginormous box. I was excited to not have to put thought into what I would be eating for the next 2 months. I'd just grab something out of my "diet box" and run! I gave it an honest try for one week. After one week, I knew I couldn't do it anymore. I did lose 7 pounds. If you follow the diet exactly, you will lose weight - because your poor body is starving to death because the food is horrible! It's absolutely disgusting.

Today, I received my fresh frozen food order of my 10 dinner selections. All 10 were substituted! Most of which I would never have ordered. The shipment was also short a snack. Was I certain of that? Of course I was. My freezer's compressor died in the hurricane and this is the only food in the freezer. They graciously credited my account with the "selection" option fee and $40.00 for the food I did not want. I was more than happy to have them pick up the selections but this was not an option. The cost of this food is not cheap and to receive foods you did not order is not right! Although I have never complained before, this is not the first time they made substitutions. I am considering other diet options for the future.

I ordered a NutriSystem diet package. When the box of food got to my home, it was huge and overwhelming. I was surprised to learn that none of the food required refrigeration or freezer. It looked more like Army Ration food in the packages and boxes. Some of the "noodle-type" foods and soups required microwaving to heat them up. There are measuring spoons and "drink shake" container that came with the package. The so-called shakes are nothing but a container of chocolate or vanilla powder that you add water and ice to, and shake up. The food was nasty. The portions were so small. I only did the plan for a couple of days because I was starting to get light headed and think about food constantly. You do have to go out and buy fruit and vegetables to eat in between meals so you don't completely starve. I was so unhappy and miserable. I would rather be overweight than feel deprived and depressed. Their ads are a joke.

First of all, the food made me sick, nauseous, produced headaches, and diarrhea. Than I asked company to cancel future shipments. I was told I could not cancel since I enrolled under a discount program. I said I wanted to cancel the program and cancel any future shipments. They were very rude and insistent, and charged my account eighty-some dollars as we spoke on the phone. Do not under any circumstances order Nutrisystem. On top of everything else, after one month on the "program", I didn't lose weight; I actually gained weight on the "system."

My husband and I joined, then decided it was not for us. Truthfully, the food was not bad and the selection was pretty good. However, the cancellation process has turned us off to this company forever. It took 30 minutes on the phone to cancel our account and then they claimed we only cancelled my husband's and not mine. Two weeks later they tried to ship my food. We refused the shipment, got the credit card company to credit the charge to our account but now Nutrisystem is saying we have to pay a second cancellation fee for my account. Really?! Shysters is the only word for this organization.

The food is plastic; it tastes like plastic. My skin got nasty with wrinkles I never had before. The portions are a joke; I mean the equivalent of a can of tune. No wonder, you lose weight. They do not look at all like in the pictures. This system does not work. You can get better results by eating well simple meals. If a friend of yours have some of their food, try it and you will see.

Beware of Nutrisystem’s cancelation fees! I was so excited about losing weight and starting a new program that I didn't read the fine print. In essence, I was charged nearly $100 in back discounts and delivery charges to cancel my membership. That, in my humble opinion, is shady.

The business survives not on its product, but on their overwhelming advertising and getting your approval for automatic charges to your credit card. Their ads are false - you do have to buy regular food and weigh and count and measure. After the first week, the food got boring and (believe me) you starve.

My husband ordered this Nutrisystem food to help him lose weight. I told him he is eating poison. Believe it or not, check the ingredients for yourself. Big money for poison food! The ingredients are so bad: high fructose corn syrup, cotton seeds oil, GMO, MSG, you name it. We are so disappointed with this highly processed food we bought. And they taste disgusting!

Last month, I ordered Nutrisystem D for my father. When the food arrived, we quickly realized the food was horrible. My dad did not stick to the diet more than 3 weeks as the food was horrible he said. When he stopped the diet, we decided to eat the stuff that was left over. I learned quickly the food gave you a ton of gas. When I say a ton, I mean overload. After reading posts of other former customers, I am not surprised at that and consider myself lucky. Finally when I thought it was done and over with, yesterday I got an email saying the next shipment is on its way. I never signed up for more than one month. They automatically charged his card and shipped it.

After many years of seeing ads on television and QVC, I decided that this is something that could work for me. I don't like to cook and most diets require a great deal of cooking. The prepackaged food was an attractive option for me. Also, since QVC had it on air and I have always had a good experience with QVC, I decided to do this. I prepared for this before my large box of food came. I cleared out my pantry of all the "bad" food; really committed to working the program. The box came and I sorted out all the meals, breakfast, snacks, lunch, snack, dinner, and desert.

I am so disappointed with the Nutrisystem program. I ordered the Silver Woman's, and due to a number of issues, I give the program zero stars. Those issues include receipt of multiple incorrect food items, long phone waits for customer service, and change to bank account on incorrect date.

This is not my first experience with the product but the last time. I was younger and my metabolism was different. This time, I only tried it because of the discounted price. It didn't work and they charged me almost $90 to cancel. What a terrible and greedy business practice. Shame on you and shame on those who speak for you. Read up, Marie Osmond.

I have no problem with the products or the plan. My problem is that their business model is apparently built on duping or cajoling you into continuing to receive shipments (and pay for them) after you no longer want them. For one thing, they make it easy to sign up online, but you can't cancel online. You have to call and listen to a long sales pitch about why you shouldn't cancel and so on.

I received an unsolicited email from Nutrisystem offering a discount to "try" their program. The offer stated there was no commitment required. I purchased a 1-month trial basis and found that not only was the food way over-processed, it was also difficult to digest. I phoned the company to cancel my account and end all emails from them. Nutrisystem then charged me an additional $87.49 that was the discount they had already offered to begin with. So even though their customer was not satisfied with the product and their customer purchased on good faith, Nutrisystem did not honor their promise and ripped off their customer. I would love to talk to an attorney about my complaint. There must be a way to stop Nutrisystem from victimizing consumers!

First if you stick to the plan, you will lose weight but after a couple of months, it gets a little tedious and what food is palatable, gets boring. My husband and I both were on Nutrisystem and we paid the "up charge" to be able to pick our own frozen food rather than have Nutrisystem pick for us. That bugged me. Then, the items that we liked tended to become "low inventory" where you couldn't order any and had to pick something else. My husband finally got ticked and said he had enough. If he can't order the stuff he did like, he wasn't going to continue paying that kind of money for it and told me to cancel. I feel if you can sign up online to begin the program, you should be able to go online to cancel the program but alas, that is not the case and the reason it isn't the case is because they don't want you to cancel so they have these individuals in place to talk you out of cancelling.

I ordered Nutrisystem for myself and a friend. A second order that I had not requested for each of us was delivered to my condo, but I was able to halt the FedEx delivery that was returned to the company unopened. Then I discovered my Visa had been debited for both orders a 2nd time for $489.00. Nutrisystem has not and apparently does not intend to return my money which I want and need. These are dishonest people.

I ordered a one time men's package. They auto-shopped another the following month. I did not accept the delivery (per NutriSystem). The package went back unopened. They will not refund my money even though their website states they will and informed me on the phone that they would issue a refund. I've had American Express involved for 6 weeks and they're getting the runaround as well. Be advised, these people are dishonest with their shipping and refund policies.

I started Nutrisystem because of the pre-prepared meals in an effort to cut back on time taken to cook. While some of the meals were fast, I was spending as much time measuring substitutes as I was previously cooking. This wasn't a problem. I dropped 11 pounds my first week and couldn't stand longer than 5 minutes without getting pass-out dizzy. I was 6'3" and 225 lbs. at the start of the diet and I lifted 3 times a week and ran on the days in between. After 3 days of eating their food, I couldn't lift and by the end of the week, I was so tired I was sleeping 12-plus hours a day. Their food is not substantial as during this time I was eating twice the amount of "power fuels" and "smart carbs" that they recommended. So my first complaint is that the food is not safe. This is not a diet that anyone should ever put themselves through regardless of the reason.

Sure I picked what I wanted to eat. Nonetheless, the day my food came, it was full of substitutions (which they did say could happen). But really, beans, beans and more beans! Fake tomato sauce and more things smothered in tomato sauce (red), and oatmeal. Really! Everything I am allergic to, beans and red sauce, and the thought of the texture of oatmeal. Eww, yuck. I went with them because they say "Eat what you like." Well, that is not what I like or ordered. I think they sent me the cheapest food! And glycemic food index, really. Everything I got was loaded with carbs! I did email and let them them know I'm allergic to carbs and red tomato sauce to no avail. So, I sent everything back within my refund period!

I saw all the negative comments on here and thought I'd share my quick thoughts. First of all, the program works. There is no question. I had very bad eating habits and have been nearly 40lbs overweight for the past 10 years. I started Nutrisytem around mid-February and I am now 28lbs lighter (it's now July, but I've been at my current weight since May or so). I'll share a few points that I think are important for folks to know:

Wonderful products, pick the foods you like. Nutrisystem is the best diet out there. I lost 95lbs, lost the weight very quickly, stuck to the diet plan and never felt better. 10 stars in my book! I am doing it again.

I tried Nutrisystem knowingly that it serves processed foods and processed foods are no good for you. The ease of not having to prepare the food was what motivated me since I am 51 and raising an 8 year old and a 15 year old. As time went on into the 28-day plan, I read the blogs. I began to look up some of the ingredients. Bad news. From the quantity of sodium to the use of aspartame products, to usage of soy. Not to mention, most of the foods contain white processed starch, which has always been a health no-no in dieting. False advertising as well when they would describe protein in the foods. More like meat bits unless it was a soy protein, which your were given plenty of that.

I did not want to continue using Nutrisystem after my 28 days so I called to cancel and now am being charged $89 more for cancelling? I am a senior and retired and I was not informed about this charge. It seems funny to me that when you offer to let us send back the order after 14 days if not satisfied, that it will be for free to send it back. Then when I tried it for the 28 days and it wasn't working for me that I am charged another $89 for stopping the plan? Well, since I wasn't informed of this, I am going to pass the word along to all my Facebook friends and email all my friends telling them to beware. I am also going to let a very famous person know as well. Thanks, Nutrisystem, for getting an old lady riled up.

It worked for me! I read the fine print and had no problem cancelling after 2 shipments. In 2 months, I lost a total of 15 lbs. I did load up on as much fresh healthy foods, fruits, veggies and lean protein that you're supposed to be eating along with your NS meals. I opted with the program that allows you to choose your entire menu. The food is not bad, of course some items taste better than the others. For me, NS was just a way for me to kick start my weight loss and healthier lifestyle. By no means would I stay on this for more than 3 months because (no surprise) the food is processed, full of sodium and artificial ingredients. After cancelling, I started cooking healthy organic meals and felt amazing resulting in another 15 lbs. loss in 2 months.

I ordered Nutrisystem online in April 2012. I had no issues with my order and received everything that I ordered. The website made it very clear about the penalties if I cancelled my order before my second order. I did not need to cancel because the program worked. The food is good, yes it's processed, but that's normally what I eat anyway. I'm never hungry and in 12 weeks, I've lost 35 pounds. Nutrisystem allows me to delay each of my orders for 60 days with no penalties, which is great for me, so I can add in non-Nutrisystem meals along the way and stretch out my deliveries to cut costs. I recommend this system to anyone who is looking for an easy food remedy while dieting. There isn't much to think about or plan, grab your food and go.

The food is high in cholesterol and fat and tasted awful. I canceled my second automatic delivery and they are charging me a $79.99 cancellation fee. This was not stated to me and I want others to know what to expect if they cancel. nuMeasure is a much better company to work with and their food is fresh and tastes good. It was easy to stay with their food because it filled me up. Not so much with Nutrisystem, or maybe they should rename it ScamSystem.

I called on a Friday to ask a few questions. I told the rep I would call to join over the weekend. She gave me her name and extension and asked if I would please call her as she would get credit for the order. I called on Sunday at 9am and she answered immediately. She advised me of the 2-week return policy and also told me that I had to do at least 2 consecutive months. I got my order on Tuesday and everything looks to be there, no substitutes and food I didn't want. I'm excited to give this a go. I'm curious as to the people getting violently ill from the food. Do you have pre-existing health issues? I'm starting tomorrow and will post my experience further in!

I like the plan. I need to lose 60 lbs. But, I'm diabetic so it's challenging. I think Nutrisystem is a plan and product that will work for those who follow it religiously and don't have any problems that require contacting customer service, which I refer to as their "Counter Customer Unit." I wasn't getting enough carbs on the diet and my blood sugar readings were consistently below 90. I called to see if I could modify the diet or if I should cancel it. It was the 15th day after I had ordered based on a promotion offering a full refund within 14 days. When I called, I selected the customer service option to discuss my options. The agent on the phone assumed I wanted a refund and informed me that the 14-day period had lapsed. I was okay with that. And, I clearly understood by her demeanor that there was no grace available. What I wasn't okay with was her next statement that I would be charged an additional $97 for cancelling. No literature and no agent I talked to ever mentioned that part of the deal.

Come on, people. It clearly states on Nutrisystem's website that you will be charged the difference of the non-discounted meal plan when you cancel before receiving two consecutive auto deliveries. And, it's not in fine print, either. If you blindly ordered off a television commercial, then suck it up!

They screwed up my second order. I contacted the CS so many times that I gave up and gave the "wrong food" away. Screwed up my third order, so I decided to cancel my membership since I only wanted to lose a few pounds and did with sensible eating and lots of exercise. I have been on hold for a total of 2.5 hours so far this week and have sent 3 emails in three days, left 3 contact phone numbers so they can reach me and still not a word from them. They send the food they have a surplus of and don't bother reading your order list. Then they torture you with hours of Marie Osmond screaming on the phone and so many commercials that you hang up, which is what they want.

I just wanted to say that every company has some big celebrity as their statue, and I just want to say you are not thinking about the people who don't have thousands, and millions of dollars. I am a normal person who is low income and who has been trying for so long to lose the weight. I wanted to be on Nutrisystem but your prices are not for someone of my caliber. It's for people with big money and I just wanted to say you all need to look at the bigger picture. I am not Janet Jackson but I still would love to look nice and feel good about myself as well. So you should think about the people who are less fortunate but want a chance to change their life, too. Thank you.

I just want to let people know that Nutrisystem does work. Yes, it's processed food but who hasn't eaten processed foods? It's not bad; in fact, I have some favorites. If you follow the plan as written, I am positive you will lose weight. I did! I started on Dec. 19, 2011 and have lost 44 lbs without starving. You are allowed unlimited veggies (certain veggies, of course) and also powerfuels and smartcarbs as listed in your food planner/website! I love My Nutrisystem Plan and it's not only a diet but my new family I made in the NS chat room is just awesome. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Also, the customer service and counselors are very knowledgeable and professional. That's just my opinion! I'm happy. What works for one may not work for the next. I'm just saying, "Woot, Nutrisystem!"

I joined Nutrisystem on May 6, 2012 during my membership call. I explained to the lady that I wanted to pay with my debit card. She told me Nutrisystem doesn't take debit cards and that there was another option in which I can pay and that option was to apply for a loan at Bill Me Later. As she signed me up, she did not tell me that Bill Me Later charged a 19.99 percent rate and didn't take a debit card as payment either. Right before signing up, I had my bank account hacked into; and on Bill Me Later, they wanted me to give them my routing number and checking account number. I said no way.

I cancelled any future orders due to medical reason and they charged me $87.49 for the first shipment's shipping charges and 20% for food. It was never disclosed that they would charge you these fees if you cancel. They advertise all over the TV, paper, radio to take advantage of the 40% off and they catch you with these bogus charges if you cancel and I was not told this when I first ordered.

After almost 3 weeks on Nutrisytem, my husband rushed me to the local ER. I was experiencing acute abdominal pains. After giving a complete history, numerous vials of blood, and undergoing an ultrasound, CT scan and MRI, and spending 3 days in the hospital, the final diagnosis was acute pancreatitis due to the Nutrisystem. My pancreatic enzymes were 500 times the normal limit; my liver enzymes were also elevated. My gall bladder was filled with sludge. It took me several months to decide on a diet, and I wanted something that was sustainable - not a fad. As a scientist, I reviewed prior to purchasing, but I was not prepared for the surprise that I got. I did not think I was putting 3 of my major organs in jeopardy. I came home from the hospital today, and the first thing I did was to throw out all the Nutrisystem. Please, heed the experience - if a scientist can be scammed, so can you. Just like me, you, too, may have an unexpected trip to the ER if you choose Nutyrisystem. It would have been the responsible thing for Nutrisystem to list adverse effects or offer some cautions.

Last month, when I ordered for me and my husband, my order arrived on time. My husband's did not. I had to talk with a supervisor to get it right. This month, when I ordered for me and my husband, my order arrived on time. My husband's did not again! I had to talk with a supervisor to get it set up right again! We are doing this together. How can that work when we can't seem to get it sent out correctly?

I am extremely happy with Nutrisystem. After researching and reading through their offers and menu items, I contacted a live representative via internet. They were extremely helpful with answering all my questions. I then spoke with a live person to finish my order. Everything arrived on time. The food is fabulous. I am an extremely busy business person working most 7 days a week and have become so burnt out on having to buy and prepare food for the week, usually eating the same things over and over again. I simply don't have the time nor want to take the time. With Nutrisystem, I am able to grab my food items and literally run.

I decided to give Nutrisystem a try with the 40% discount. But when I received the food, it did not look or taste good. I decided to keep it anyway but when I tried to cancel, I wouldn't get any replies and when I finally did, they claimed they have to charge $97 for cancellation. This was not disclosed when I signed up or else I wouldn't have. What a ripoff!

Reading the guarantee of cancellation for any reasons, my wife and I saw that I have to call their phone number described online on the Nutrisystem program. One day after the delivery of the first shipment, we realized that it was a health hazard for us and we cancelled the program on 3/20/2012 by email. I received back an email that while we subscribed online, they are not willing to accept cancellations online and I would have to call their phone number.

Frankly, I love the program. You follow the program - you will lose weight. My complaint here is that I bit into a meatball "sandwich" only to find a substantially sized rock! Not hardened chicken or something - literally a rock. I suppose these things happen but still is quite a shock on your teeth. I called Nutrisystem and they offered to replace with some additional meals but did not seem too concerned. "I" had to ask them if they wanted me to send it in for analysis. What toxins if any might I have been exposed to? They said I can throw it (!) or or send it in - whatever I like.

I spoke with a representative and explained that I wish to have the auto delivery cancelled before even placing a one month only order. They assured me that this will not occur and that my one month order will be in satisfactory order with me. I thought all was great until I see the auto order bill my card.

A week after cancelling the program, my credit card was charged a very high fee. After being on hold for nearly an hour, I was told they charged me shipping and took away my discount for cancelling. I was not informed about this when I cancelled. They were very rude and said they would not reimburse me for the charge. I will never recommend this diet or ever try it again!

I was trying to terminate the food delivery. I didn't care for the food. But that isn't the complaint. I wasn't expecting great food. After all it's a diet. However, after my second delivery, I attempted to end the auto delivery and am still having difficulty. You can not do it online. At least, it's so difficult that I have not found the manner or link to do it on their webpage. I have been on hold with customer service for over 10 minutes waiting for a customer service representative listening to commercials. Can this get any more frustrating? I don't even care how bad the food was. I just want to cut my losses and get out. Is it legal to make it that difficult?

My fiance's mother started Nutrisystem a short while ago and we had to take her to the hospital last night because she had been complaining of a burning sensation in her stomach, along with nausea and tightening of the abdomen/stomach. In the emergency room, we read some reviews on this program and after taking the time to read what everyone else is going through, I am horrified for the battle we have ahead of us. I will personally make sure that none of my friends or family ever use this program or eat this poison they call food ever again!

I don't really know what to think of Nutrisystem. I read the fine print and knew that I would be charged to cancel my order. I think that paying $104 is ridiculous, but I'd rather pay that than receive another order of food. From the beginning, the food upset my stomach. I read that this was normal and that people called it the "nutri-toots" AKA: It is your body getting used to these new high fiber foods. According to my doctor, this is incorrect. This was my body's way of letting me know that I was allergic to something in the extremely long list of artificial ingredients and chemicals that laden the Nutrisystem food. What the hell does "artificially lightened" mean on the chicken salad? Seriously?

I found some of the items in my order inedible. I tried to have them replaced and called customer service but they refused because it has been 38 days since I received my order. Apparently you have to complain within 30 days. After reading some of the other comments on this website, I feel lucky. Nevertheless, I certainly won't be using Nutrisystem again and will warn my friends as well. One would think a company would do a little more to ensure customer satisfaction.

NutriSystems did not honor 14-day risk-free trial. I ordered the 28-day meal plan and received the boxes to my home at 7 pm on March 1, 2012. On March 15, 2012, I called to say I wanted to cancel the auto shipment and any other shipments. They said it was past the 14-day trial even though I did not receive the product until the evening of March 1st, the 1st actually counted as the companies first day so they could not refund my money. That is okay but they then proceeded to charge me nearly $100 to cancel saying I had received discounts in shipping of my first order. So it was not risk free. In fact, it cost me another $100 to cancel!

Customer service reps were horrible. I asked not to have the card I first used billed again, what did those lousy people do? Bill that same card again. What made it so bad, the card wasn't mine. They lied to me twice about when I would receive my delivery. I am very upset with these people. The food is lousy. I'd rather stay fat than eat that stuff.

Hotdogs, why were they removed from the menu?

Without making this too long, I cancelled my account on February 14, 2012 because twice my orders went to a different address and I have not received any orders from your company due to your incompetency. I have been calling for weeks and talking to some very rude people and asking that my money, which is $239, be deposited back into my account. They all have called FedEx who confirmed that the orders did go to the incorrect address and they have all assured me that my money would be put back into my account. However, the money has not been deposited yet. I am very disappointed and angry in your company and their way of doing business. I am a nurse and if I did my job like you do, I would be fired. I want my money deposited into my account. Your people have lied to me. Thank you and please make sure that they cancelled my account and don't take anymore money from me. You have my money and I have nothing.

I chose Nutrisystem because it advertised the convenience of online ordering, tracking and delivery. However, I didn't know that meant no customer service. I contacted the company via email 8 times with only one response. The one response I got was email me personally with questions. Then no response after that. I even went so far as to send my requests to all 4 email addresses I could find, social space, consumer complaint board, and the Better Business Bureau. These were questions with my order and yet they did not respond and they expect you to have an auto renewal. They claim to be an online program yet will not contact you back. I refuse to sit on the phone for an hour waiting for someone to pick up (yes my first call in I was on hold for a ridiculous amount of time) because they falsely advertise and improperly charge. And they do not respond to their errors or consumers questions.

The operator ran the credit card 3 times and charged double. When I called, they would not give a straight answer and want me to wait 7 days before doing anything. Getting a supervisor is almost impossible and then you get a story about people working part time and not there. I would never deal with them again. I wasted 2 hours trying to get this sorted out but still no resolution. The people really need to be taught customer service.

This is not a complaint at all. I love Nutrisystem. Granted it is processed foods, but it has helped me lose weight. I am not starving and that is because I fill up on veggies which is unlimited on this program and suggested to do so. Some of the of the complaints that I read are that food is just processed. I know that we all have eaten at fast restaurant before and that is exactly what got us to need a weight loss program.

I wondered if anyone has had a complaint about eating the Nutrisystem items. I started eating them and my face broke out very bad. It seemed strange that it would do that but I let my mom try some and believe it or not, her face also broke out. We are now both on antibiotics.

I signed up for Nutrisystem after hearing about some others’ success on the program. Within the first month, I lost only about 4 lbs. which I was totally fine with. After that, my girlfriend decided she would sign up as well so we could do it together. Well, we stayed on it for about 4 months without going off plan and we also worked out on a daily basis. We only lost a small amount of weight but that's not my problem.

I was very interested in joining Nutrisystem. I called and spoke with a representative named Larry. He gave me the information about joining, and due to the cost, I told him that I would like to discuss it with my husband before I made my final commitment. He said no problem and if he may call me tomorrow and follow up. I said yes and gave him my number I could be reached at.

I ordered Nutrisystem end of November 2011. I decided I wanted to either start after the holidays or cancel the order. After talking with a gentleman at Nutrisystem, they allow a one-time delay of auto delivery so I chose to take this opportunity. The gentleman said try the product and if you don't like it, cancel and you can send the rest of the food back. I tried Nutrisystem for 2 weeks and don't like the food. It contains too much sugar and it really is all processed food. I called on Jan. 20th to cancel my order and the lady I spoke with said they will charge me $50 for the difference in auto-delivery price and that I could send back the rest of the food.

After receiving my initial order, I was displeased. The frozen entrees were fine but the old Nutrisystem entrees are awful. I called to cancel and was switched to the Cancellation Department. I was on the phone for almost ten minutes and repeatedly told the very rude representative that I was unhappy with the food. He was told to cancel my next order ten different times but would not accept my cancellation.

I ordered Nutrisystem, but after my order, I saw that it was wrong, so I called in to change my order. The customer service representative said he canceled my order. Yet, the order went through, and my debit card was charged $259.99 and the order was shipped. Also, then after having to cancel the order a second time, another $87.49 charge went through my debit card. I again tried to clear this up with Nutrisystem. Their policy clearly states on their website "at Nutrisystem, we expect you to be fully satisfied, or we'll give you your money back, period". They have refused to refund my money (I sent back their shipment as "refused, return to sender"), and I now had to go into my bank and file a fraud charge on my debits. My letter to Nutrisystem, which they have ignored, says:

Nope, this isn't a complaint. I just wanted to let people know that this system does work! I've been on NS for over 4 months and have lost 74 pounds. I'm half way to goal.

The food isn't too bad. However, when you're starving, you'll eat just about anything. It was helpful when I could pick my meals because then I could choose the lesser of the evils. Also, I've had my meals less than 1 year and all of the dinners have gone bad. I wouldn't recommend it or go back on it.

As a birthday present, I asked for gift cards from my sister and husband to Nutrisystem. What a disappointment. Nothing but processed foods, and after just one of their snacks, I broke out some rashes and hives. I called them up, and because I did not want to hassle with shipping the order back, I was charged an additional $50.28 after losing my investment of $238.00.

Read the terms and conditions carefully! If you sign up for automatic delivery, and then decide after the first shipment the food tastes horrible (which it does) they will charge you $54 to cancel since you promised to accept a second order from them. This is such a scam. These guys are all about the money and not about the person who is trying to lose weight. Stay clear of this program!

I volunteer at a food pantry. We are always getting Nutrisystem food donated to us. It's now getting to the point where we can't even give the stuff away! If you want to lose weight and get healthy, here's what you do. I think you will find this way more convenient than what you've already been through. Go to SparkPeople's site and join. It's always 100% free. There are tons of tools for you to use at your leisure. And SparkPeople will set you up a calorie budget. You can choose convenience foods from your local supermarket like weight watchers or lean cuisine. Personal trainers, coaches, and nutritionists are always ready to answer your questions on message boards. The support is amazing! I have tried Nutrisystem foods and all I can say is gross! To avoid further charges on your credit card by NS, simply call the bank that issued you the card and report it lost. They'll send you a new card with a new number. And when Nutrisystem tries to charge your card a cancellation fee or for more shipments, the charge won't go through and they are out of luck.

When I signed up, I was told that I can make a 100% refund if I am not satisfied. I received my first shipment and some items are missing, and most of the items they've sent were not my choice. I attempted to contact them 3 times, by email and by phone but nothing was ever done. So, I decided to cancel it, and I ended up paying another $53 to get out of the plan, which was never brought up when I placed the order.

In reply to Dave of Chicago, IL. Dave, it's nice to know that Nutrisystem has their own people to counter post here, but you need to get your facts straight. Nutrisystem offers a trial, which if you feel that it's not working in their specified time, you have the option of returning the item to them and then they will not bill you for the item. Well, this is not what happens. What happens is NS either charges your credit card, debit's your debit card and then denies that they ever received the item back. There are 1000's of people that have posted and complained about this. NS uses a third party to handle their claims and they say they'll take care of it, but never do. Now in my humble opinion, this is theft and Nutrisystem is guilty of theft! So go back to your 9-5 and continue to post lies about how good they are and I'll continue to post the reality, that they are thieves and should be prosecuted for theft.

I had been a member for 4 months. Then, when my mother got sick, I canceled the food. Last month, I decided to try again. The food I did try I threw away. So, I decided to return the rest. I did not try most of the food and only received $174 of the $299.99 that I paid. Granted I did have to pay for the one week of frozen I received, but that certainly didn't cost over $100. They are a rip off. Buyer, beware!

On May 05, 2011, we signed up for a ONE MONTH deal with Nutrisystem. We were told by a sales person that they were having a special for any new customers. The "special" was that we would get the one month for half off which came out to be approximately $165.00 with tax included. I had made it clear to the sales person that we were only wanting to try the product for one month and if we liked it, I would call back and purchase a second month with them. So the transaction was confirmed and the delivery came in.

I signed up for in February; nowhere during the sign up process was I told that this was an auto shipment that I would have to pay to cancel. Each month, I have to delay my order because they will not cancel it. My husband lost his job and this is a luxury that we cannot (and do not WANT) afford. I called to delay and the "counselor" I was forced to speak with treated me like a child. After being scolded for 5 minutes, I hung up and called back to speak with a supervisor. I was told how sorry they are that my husband lost his job, but I would have to pay to cancel this. I am now forced to call every month to delay the order as I cannot afford to pay the cancellation fee.

I ordered one month of Nutrisystem for my daughter on her birthday. The following month, I called and delayed my order until the following month so I would not receive any for the month of June. It was confirmed by the representative that anything was all set. I came home two days later, and there in the hot sun and a 90-degree weather, sat a box of food -- no ice packs.

When I joined, I was told via phone that at any time I could cancel with a full refund that will be applied immediately upon receipt of returned food package. When I called to have my autoship cancelled, this was again confirmed and they cancelled the order from within. The UPS driver stopped, but read the package was marked for return and I have the receipt showing it reached Nutrisystem the next day. After many unanswered emails and phone calls where I was actually hung up on, I've now been told that the Nutrisystem policy is to refund within 15 days of a returned item. When that date passed, I again called and was reminded that as of that date, it would be another 10 days before I would get a refund. My return was dated by UPS as 5/10/11.

On four separate occasions, I found objects in my plate of food that I ordered from Nutrisystem. The objects include a piece of thick blue plastic, a brown rubber band, a twig, and a thin piece of blue plastic. On at least three occasions, I actually phoned Nutrisystem to alert them of the problem. And I know they made detailed notes of my complaint. My complaints were not taken seriously; their response was to simply send me a replacement item of food. They continue to tell me that this rarely happens and that they have millions of customers who have not experienced this problem. However, in a span of 1 year, this has happened to me at least 4 times that I can recall.

I called to inquire about the NutriSystem plan and food. After getting my contact information, I received several marketing phone calls and emails. One morning, I received a call that they were offering a plan for half price, for the first time. I was told that I would receive 28 days of food and if I did not like it and canceled within 7 days there would be no cost to me at all. If I did not cancel, I would automatically receive a second shipment at full price. The food arrived, there were mistakes of what I ordered.

I returned a product after following directions and have yet to receive a refund. The product was returned in November 2010. Not only was I billed for the product, I had to pay for the shipping return. No one was able to help me at customer service. I have my shipping receipt. This company needs to be sued by a group of people for their unethical practices and terrible food.

I would like to give a warning to others about NutriSystem. I signed up for NutriSystem three months ago and found out that their practice is to be bait and switch. First of all, it's not clear that you have to buy fruits and vegetables in addition to their food. Secondly, after canceling my order for the second month, they are charging my credit card $60.00 for the cancellation. Instead of $289.99 for 28 days of food, they are charging me $349.99 for 28 days of food. This practice is purposely confusing and deceptive. I would not recommend this company to any of my friends based on this experience. Pass the word of warning to others who consider them before falling into their trap.

I ordered Nutrisystem for my wife and I and have been dissatisfied since day 1. I tried to cancel, and they want to charge the original discount, and shipping back to me, $80+ for each of us, over $160 to just quit receiving their bad products. This is wrong, I don't care if it's on their website, I don't recall them telling me this.

Ordered, didn't like it the food was awful. I even found a staple in a packet. When I told them about it, they just ignored me. They also don't tell you that you have to buy your fruits and vegetables in addition to their food.

I signed up for Nutrisystem two months ago. I figured I would give it a shot but when my first shipment arrived, I knew I had made a mistake. The shelf stable food is disgusting. Most of it is made with mystery meat, overcooked vegetables, and way too much sauce on everything. I could only imagine what kind of chemicals are in the food. My favorite was the chicken salad, on the package it states "artificially lightened". Whats does that mean? They took the worst parts of the chicken and bleached them so they looked like white meat?

This is to all the ** who complain about Nutrisystems' return policy. It clearly gives you the option when you sign up to either select a 1 month plan or a multi- month plan (2 months or more). If you sign up for the multi-month plan, you get discounts. If you do not agree to the terms and cancel before 2 months, they charge you the difference between the regular rate and the discounted rate.

Try before you buy. A tip for those who are considering the Nutrisystem Plan: Go to your local Big Lots Store. They sell Nutrisystem foods. The boxed dinners sell for $3, and the lunch cups sell for $1, period. If you are considering the Nutrisystem membership plan, this is the way to go. Try the meals at a minimal cost to see if you like them. For those of us who have used the plan, this really puts you in control. You can purchase only the meals that you like, avoid shipping costs, etc. And if your state does not charge sales tax on food items, you pay only the price of the item. In other words, this is the most cost effective way to go! If your local Big Lots Store doesn't stock the Nutrisystem meals, ask them if they can get them for you. I have used the plan off and on for the past two years, and have lost over 30 lbs. The plan does work, by the way, if you are willing to follow it! Happy weight loss!

I received a promotional offer from Nutrisystem in the mail for "1 week free," prompting me to check out their website. On the normal website, the price listed for a 4-week program was $239, but I couldn't find a way to enter the promotion code for the free week. Looking closer at the offer, it gave a Web address that took me straight to the promotional offer for "1 week free." The pricing on this separate page was $299.

In January of 2011, I signed my husband and I up for Nutrisystem. The ad claimed that we would get a week free and if we chose a certain plan, we would receive a deal. I never realized that you had to order 2 months of the food to receive the deal. I received an email today that my auto-ship would be sent on Feb 7 and if I needed to change anything, that I would need to call prior to Feb 6. I called to cancel both my husband's and mine. I haven't lost any weight and my husband lost 5 pounds but that's it. When I called to cancel they told me that there would be a charge. One charge for the shipping and handling of the this month's order and for the 10% discount on the first month's orders. I had absolutely no idea. They said it was in the terms and conditions and that when I ordered I had to have read it.

I am not complaining! I have lost 45 pounds on this diet and it is easy! The food is okay. What do people expect the food to taste like when they are on a diet? Food cooked without a lot of fat isn't going to taste like food that makes you fat! This diet works and the people complaining about it are not serious about weight loss! Without a doubt, I can say that this diet works with very little hassle! How serious are you about losing weight? I feel good about myself after losing 45 pounds. Nutrisystem rocks!

All of the food is absolutely horrible - breakfast, lunch and dinner. The pasta turns to mush when microwaved. The so called desserts taste like cheap vending machine food. Products are loaded with sodium and are extremely high in fat and calories. I was very surprised to learn how unhealthy this food is. The only healthy part of the plan was the veggies and fruit I had to buy to supplement their food.

I purchased Nutrisystem. I bit into a White Chocolate Chuck Cookie and broke my tooth. My cap came right off, I almost swallowed it.

I returned, after 5 days, the Nutrisystem products. It weighed 22 pounds with 55 products. I got a refund for $6.95 cents. Really?

I signed in to Nutrisystem to get info for a friend, but he didn't care for the program. Now because I signed in using my email, I am being hounded by them with emails for the past 3 months. I have hit the "unsubscribed" button on each email but that doesn't do anything. I went to their site and emailed them. I now have been emailed back 4 times that they have removed me, but this is a lie. We need a "do not email" system like the "do not call" system for these harassing emails. If they can't do a simple thing like this, I can't imagine how they can do anything else of value.

I wrote the review dated August 5th, 2010. I was pleased to receive a phone call a few weeks ago from a company representative that had read my complaint on this website. He apologized for my experience trying to cancel, and said that he was refunding the 54 dollar fee. I just looked today and the credit posted to my bank account. I appreciate that someone took the time to read my complaint and resolve the issue.

I tried this system. You need to buy their food, plus lots of other food as well. I couldn't eat the food because it has too much sugar, as I have type two diabetes. I can't eat the diabetic plan because it contains aspertane, which gives me migraines. This was not explained to me before I started, they just wanted to get me to buy into their program. I had to receive the two shipments, then they would not give me a full refund for the second shipment. This whole program is nothing but a scam.

Nutrisystem gave me Pantry Moths! These moths are nearly impossible to get rid of! I ordered the basic menu from Nutrisystem online. It arrived in a single large box. I put all of the food in one small pantry with a solid wooden door. Shortly thereafter, I found small flying moths. I didn't know what they were but I knew they had come with the Nutrisystem food. I removed everything, cleaned everything off, cleaned the pantry and put the food back. I have the same complaints as other people about the food, it all tastes the same and is awful. When the small moths continued, I threw out the remainder of the food, cleaned the pantry and replaced it with grocery store food. Then I noticed the white worms on my ceiling! I looked them up on the internet, Pantry Moths! I have thrown out all of the grocery store food that they infected! When their representative called to check up on my progress, I complained to no avail! Don't buy this product.

I have previously been on Nutrisystem without problems, even though the food is not great. I ordered it again and the Nutrisystem advanced plan was sent now. I started and stomach pain started. I thought maybe my system was just getting use to the change/diet. The pain persisted and then I decided to go off the plan to see if that could be the problem. I went off for 2 days without stomach problems and then back on the plan. The first day I went back on the plan, I had such a pain in my stomach. I thought I would have to go to the hospital.

After reading your site, I decided to write also. I had the worst experience with Nutrisystem also. I joined with QVC to get Nutrisystem. The food was horrible! The worst. I called them to tell them that I had diabetes, that I could not eat all these sweets they were sending, and that I was allergic to soy. They kept sending me all kinds of soy nuts and soy products. I called constantly and no response back and or there was nothing they could do. I had so many foods I couldn't eat and I wanted to send them back. They finally said they would issue a credit when I returned it. I did but never had a refund to this date and a few years have passed. The customer service was terrible. No one cared about my health or what food I was getting. They kept sending it all the time. I was hungry because I couldn’t eat what they sent most of the times. One person is right, food was spicy and salty, each one that was sent.

My 83-year-old mother signed up for Nutrisystem. She told me the food was horrible and was mainly pasta and soups. She cancelled immediately and had no problem doing so. As bad as the food was, her main complaint was that it came with no directions about how to incorporate the bars into the food plan. She told me the representative she spoke to told her to go online and look it up.

Marie ****** should be ashamed to be spokesperson for Nutrisystem. The only decent foods you eat on this program are the vegetables and fruits that you must buy yourself. Not only are the Nutrisystem food items appallingly inadequate, they are over the top in sodium and generally taste horrible. Oh yes, try to cancel! It isn't easy nor inexpensive.

I have been on this system for 6 weeks now. I have lost over 15 pounds. The food is tasty, albeit small portion, granted not all the food is good. I was able to choose the better food for my second order and I am very happy. I agree that the tuna and hamburger, as well as the hot dog, is bad. And the black bean soup didn't cook up well. I don't feel that the product is too salty. Results are worth it. True - convenience is primary in this diet. However, I don't see it that different from Weight Watchers (spent 4 years on that program). It does teach you how little food is needed. And our portion sizes are too big in America. Frankly, it hasn't been any more costly than if I went to the grocery store. And the food I buy my family is lasting a lot longer - now that I am not eating it!

Actually, I did lose 30 pounds on the program. It took two months as I lost close to 5 lbs. per week. The food was not that great and I experienced a great deal of gas. Too much stuff with beans. Also, they charged my credit card with a second month so I had no choice but to take it again. As I said, I did lose weight but the food was not so good. I just tolerated it because I really wanted to lose the weight.

After ordering the Nutra System Diet, I was very surprised to see that the food was not fresh form the kitchen as advertised. The food was pre-packaged and obviously been sitting in a warehouse for months. Nevertheless, I contacted Nutra System to find out information on how to return my order; they informed me that I would be refunded with my money but will be charged the shipping fee of $18.95 that was originally free. When I inquired why I would be charged, they claimed that because the food is being returned, I would be responsible for the fee. I never agreed to those terms, and furthermore it was not explained to me that I would be charged a shipping fee.

Unlike many of the complaints on here, I do not have a problem with the food. I do not like to cook, so NutriSystem was perfect for me, and the food was decent. I lost 16 pounds in a month, and the few times I went to a restaurant, I found that I was eating much smaller portions.
