Does Nutrisystem Sell icy Foods at the Grocery Store? I'll Tell You

The other day, I received an email from man who said that she'd just spent a large estimate of time trying to locate Nutrisystem products in the icy food aisle of the grocery store. She'd seen the lean cuisine section, the weight watchers section, and the "smart ones" selections, but, no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find what she was looking for.  She asked: "am I wrong in thinking that Nutrisystem sells icy meals?  If they do offer these, where can I buy them?"  I'll retort this question in the following article.

Coupons For Lean Cuisine

The company Does Offer A icy Food Line, It's Called Nutrisystem Select:  Many of this diet's foods are prepackaged but not frozen.  However, the company does have a new line of icy meals out.  These meals are touted as being "restaurant quality" and they are decent tasting and pretty convenient.  However, these meals are not sold in grocery stores.  Like all of the diet plan's products, you have to order this choice online also.  But, this isn't as bad as it sounds.  They regularly have the food to you in only a few days and sometimes they do offer free shipping if you can find the precise coupon.

Cost Of And Choices On Nutrisystem Select:  This plan is just slightly more costly than the company's regular plan which does not consist of the icy foods.  For example, the monthly cost of the basic regular agenda is 9.  For the make your mind up program, you'll pay about 9 instead.  However, both of these plans regularly offer coupons that will bring this price down.  And many habitancy feel that the extra cost is worth it because many find that the foods taste a bit better.

They also give you a lot of choices with this plan. A few of the examples of the offerings for breakfast are french toast, egg sandwich, vegetable frittata strata, and pancakes. (You are also allowed to have some of the regular choices too, like the oatmeal, muffins, scones, cereal, etc.)

For lunch and dinner, just a few examples are chicken and shrimp Alfredo, ravioli, margarita pizza, chicken fajitas, steak and cheese melt, ham and cheese panini, Asian beef, and beef with portabella mushrooms.

The desserts consist of apple and peach crisp, a fudge sundae, an ice cream sandwich, a chocolate bar, and blueberry parfait, to name a few.  Whether you feel that these icy entrees are worth the extra money is going to be an individual choice.  They are quite convenient requiring only rewarming, or in the case of the ice creams, just taking off the wrapper.

I'm sometimes asked what is the discrepancy between going with the Nutrisystem icy foods or just buying some of the icy foods in the grocery aisle like lean cuisine.  There's admittedly a noticeable discrepancy in the cusine and carb / protein content.  Your Nutrisystem results and success is based on your body getting into a metabolic state called ketosis.  In order to get there, you have to consume higher amounts of protein and lower amounts of carbs.  If you look at the carb article in icy foods like lean cuisine, you'll see that the protein article often is not high sufficient to get you into ketosis.  Also, they tend to have a much higher salt and carbohydrate content. 

So, sure, you may be eating a low estimate of calories, but that's not all you need to do (at least for most people) to get the results that you want. The protein, carbohydrate, and fiber article must be satisfactory to get into ketosis and most of the grocery store offerings just don't fit the bill.
