Quote: I'm following nutrisystem diet meal plan. NutriSystems Advanced Diet is about 1100-1500 calorie a day of pre-packaged meals. I'm 5'8 1/2" 20 year old female that's probably around 190-195ish lbs. I am shooting for 145-150 pounds by late july-mid august. I also work as a server at a sports bar type restaurant, so I do a fair amount of walking 4-5 days a week for about 4-8 hours a shift (no breaks). I just want to know if you think it's reasonable too.

Answer: Rapid weight loss can pay a toll on the body. Even though NutriSystem Advanced is ideal to loosing weight gradually, losing 50 pounds in only 2 - 3 months can pay a big toll on the body since this would average 4 - 5 pounds per week. Permanent Damage can occur to the body if the body undergoes such a large change and can lead to permanent damage such as Gallstones.

It is recommended to eat high nutrient density foods like kale, broccoli, turnip greens so our body can feel satisfied, easing our cravings and having us eat less. NutriSystems Diet Meal Plan does exactly this and takes the calorie counting and assembling of our diet meal out of our hands. Personally I am a big fan of NutriSystem and its effectiveness.







Fats due more than add weight around our waste line. Good fats are absolutely essential to our health and well-being. Almonds are low in saturated fats and contain many protective nutrients that can aid in our digestive system and metabolism.

- Almonds offers more magnesium than Oatmeal or Spinach. Who would have thought?
- Reduce Heart Attack Risk, Lower Cholesterol, Lower Risk of Osteoporosis.
- 20-25 almonds (approx. 1oz) contains as much calcium as 1/4 cup of milk.

Almonds appear to not only decrease after-meal rises in blood sugar, but also provide antioxidants to mop up the smaller amounts of free radicals that still result. (Jenkins DJ, Kendall CW, Journal of Nutrition)

Next time, you want to help your body, grab a satisfying on-the-go snack.
