I get a lot of questions about the NutriSystem that start with the words “how long does it take to…”. People want to know how long it will be until they start to see results, lose 20 pounds, or can put on a bikini. , etc. Basically, most people have an end result in mind and want to know how long they will have to wait or stay afloat until they reach this goal. For example, people want to look good for a wedding, shine for a class reunion, or not be ashamed to walk on the beach. In the following article, I will try to help you find a time frame and give you an idea of ​​what to expect.

NutriSystem typical weekly weight loss: The official company statement states that 2-3 pounds per week is typical. I think this is an attempt on their part to keep your expectations low. Sure, at 3lbs a week, I would lose 12lbs in a month and over 70lbs in 6 months. (At that rate, he would lose 140 pounds in a year.) These are respectable results by anyone’s standards. But, there are a decent number of people who are in the 4-5 pound range as well, especially those who start heavier or are willing to move more.

Accelerate NutriSystem Results: Lose More Weight Faster: Many people get impatient and want to lose as much weight as possible in the shortest possible time. Some people tell me that the obvious choice is to skip meals. After all, they want you to eat a whopping five meals a day AND they want you to add healthy side dishes to each meal. Some people will look at this and see places where they can cut out food and therefore cut out more calories, carbs and fat.

This is a big mistake. I promise. First, all diet meals are very low in calories, carbohydrates, and fat. So cutting out one or two meals will only save you a handful of calories. Second, you need to eat regularly and frequently for ketosis (fat burning) to occur. If you slow down your food intake, you will only slow down your metabolism and therefore your results. Finally, you need fresh supplements to make sure your body is getting the nutritional support it needs to burn fat and calories.

Counseling, education and moving don’t have to be a chore: The company gives you exercise videos with your food orders. (These are free.) They also give you free nutritional advice and support. All of this is there for the taking at no additional cost to you. In short, they are giving you the tools, education, and emotional support to do it. You just need to take advantage of what is offered. I find that many people do not take full advantage of these gifts and I am always surprised and disappointed.

It’s not too hard to figure out that moving more is a fast way to burn more fat and calories. This doesn’t have to be a chore. You can play with your children. You can go for a bike ride with your husband. You can dance or do nonsense with your family. Anything you find fun that gets your heart rate up (even just a little), try incorporating it into your day. Little efforts like this can get you into the next weekly group and can also make your body look more toned and lean. This, in turn, will make you see results and changes in your body much faster.
