NutriSystem Weight Loss Program

Fruits with Antioxidant

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 07:48:50 +0000

You know that on the NutriSystem program, one tasty benefit is that you get to eat lots and lots of fruit. But did you ever wonder which are best for you? Have you ever thought about whether blueberries or cherries are best for your body? Oranges or strawberries?

We all know that fruits give us plenty of Vitamin C. However, a key to unlocking the benefits of fruit could be knowing how high it scores on the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbent Capacity) chart, which calculates its antioxidant power; the higher, the better. Summer fruits, such as blueberries, strawberries and raspberries (which are crammed with phytonutrients, nutrients found in the skins of fruits and vegetables), have very high ORAC scores, which means that including them in your diet could help preserve your body and brain longer.

The added beauty of these findings? Because their sugars are naturally occurring, most high-antioxidant fruits are also low glycemic! That means that if you have a serving size of your favorite berries every day, you could very well be helping your long-term health while all the while staying on program! And there’s nothing like the real thing: since such fruits also give you much-needed fiber, you’re better off eating that delicious orange than drinking orange juice.

Family Low Carb Meals

Now that you’re losing weight with Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program and gaining confidence, chances are you’re starting to think about ways to get your body in shape. That’s great! But instead of just developing an individual fitness routine, why not include the whole family in your planning?

Think about it: family fitness really is a win-win thing. You get in shape; the kids get in shape, and the whole family gets to spend time together. Plus, family fitness has never been more important than it is now. With TV, computers and video games part of almost every household, children tend to be more sedentary than ever. Junk foods and fast foods are both popular and prevalent, and obesity rates in adults and kids have climbed to an all-time high.

Maybe you’ve thought about this but can’t imagine what to do or where to start. No problem! We’ve got six ways you can start today to enjoy fitness in your family.

1. Let the kids decide
Before you go in with charts and whistles, why not sit down with everyone in the family and ask the kids what kinds of things they really like to do? Encourage them to think about games or activities that might be fun for all of you. Take notes, watch everyone’s reactions, let the discussion be free-wheeling and open. Chances are you’ll be able to find something the whole family will enjoy.

Maybe it’s a weekly game of putt-putt or a family night at the bowling alley. If you’ve got a skate-boarder in your family, consider an hour at the local skate park each week, or, in winter, go ice-skating. If everyone has bikes, dust them off and take them out. Many cities now have wonderful bike roads, banned from traffic. Or do a search for Rails and Trails in your area. These are old railroad tracks that have been covered over and turned into multi-use roads just perfect for biking and walking.

2. Get outside
Sometimes you can get the whole family moving, if you just suggest that everyone go outside. Get an inexpensive ball or two, or maybe a glove and initiate a ball toss. Head to the park. Throw in a jump rope, a hula-hoop or two. Pick up a Frisbee and even the dog can get involved.

If nothing else, you can always take a walk. That’s a perfect thing for the whole family to do. If you’re walking around the neighborhood, you’ll be surprised at how differently you see the area. And all of you (as well as the dog) will be moving!

3. Game on
If your family’s a little more competitive, that’s great, too. Initiate a game of touch football or set up the volleyball or badminton net. Play freeze-tag. If the weather’s nasty, try indoor hide-n-seek or a scavenger hunt. Smaller families can find a local tennis court and play.

Rainy days don’t have to be inactive ones. Most kids love Twister, and it can be fun for parents to also get tangled up in the mix. Even charades can be turned into exercise—customize the game to have all the words be verbs. Then, as parents and kids are acting them out, they’ll be moving their bodies.

4. Support a good cause
There’s nothing much more satisfying than supporting a favorite cause, and a wonderful way to do that is through a charity walk. It doesn’t have to be a marathon; pick a short walk, and then schedule specific times for all of you to train. Your kids will get the satisfaction of giving back to the community and helping those in need, while they’re getting into shape.

5. Make chores fun
Let’s face it: do not top the list of “fun.” Mention sweeping the floor to any kid, and watch the reaction. But you can easily change all that. If there’s work to do inside like cleaning the kitchen or dusting the downstairs, crank up the music.

Take frequent dance breaks. Ask the kids what kinds of dances they’re doing, and you can show them the dances you did when you were their ages…back in the “old” days!

6. Change is good
If you’ve found one activity the whole family enjoys, that’s great. But you don’t have to stop there. Keep that initial list you made somewhere convenient, and periodically pull it out and try something new and different. Maybe it will be a hit, maybe not. But the last thing you want is for your exercise fun to become a colossal bore.

You don’t have to do all the exercises in this story or even most of them, but the point is to do something. Not only will you be helping your children get fit now, you’ll be increasing family unity and helping your children develop healthy habits for a lifetime.

Protein Foods and Your Diet

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 06:50:50 +0000

In combination of the Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program and exercising frequently or involved in a strength training program, you may want to think about adding a few more calories—in the form of protein—to your diet. This will help repair and build up muscles.

When it comes to adding protein, you have a couple of choices about how to do it. You can either add high-protein items to your meal plan (which will increase calories slightly, but may not affect weight loss) or you can simply make a couple of replacements.

Before you do either, we suggest you talk about any meal plan changes with your counselor. He or she can answer any questions you have and make sure that you have the most effective program possible. Here are some of the ideas you can discuss to boost your protein intake:

1. Bump up breakfast. At breakfast, you can replace the fruit serving with a protein serving—one egg, three egg whites, or ½ cup of Egg Beaters. Just be sure to get the other two fruit servings in during the day for recommended fiber and vitamins.

2. Trade out the milk. By replacing your milk servings with higher protein choices, you can get more protein with the same or less calories. We use the limit of 100 calories for a milk replacement, since most light yogurts are about this amount. Try substituting in things like water-packed tuna (1/4 cup), an NS Chicken Pattie, 3 egg whites, low-fat cottage cheese (1 oz.), imitation crabmeat (2 oz.), tofu (3 oz.), or deli roast beef (1 oz.). Some lean protein replacements don't have as many carbohydrates as milk does, so you may actually get more protein for fewer calories. Just be sure to take your calcium supplement if the protein replacement is not a good source of calcium.

3. Cheese it up. If you can afford a few additional calories, sprinkle one Tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese on any of your entrees or salads (23 calories, 2 grams protein). Or, add one slice of fat-free cheese to the hamburger or chicken sandwich (25 calories, 4 grams protein). You can also try sprinkling 1 oz. of grated, fat-free mozzarella on any of the entrees (40 calories, 9 grams protein).

4. Make it a super salad. A plain old bowl of greens can easily be made into a muscle-building protein powerhouse by simply adding the egg white (chopped) of one hard-boiled egg. You will get almost four more grams of protein, with only 17 more calories. Another choice is to add a few nuts to your salad and count them as your fat serving. You'll get the fats you need plus a little extra protein to boot.

5. Make good carbohydrate choices. If you have carbohydrate servings in your meal plan, you can have 1/3 cup cooked dried beans (kidney, pinto, navy) for each serving. This will give you extra protein and keep you within your calorie limits.

6. Check the food store and food labels. And of course, you can review the Nutrition Facts for any NutriSystem food item in our website's food store. Just click on the name of the food to see its food label, and begin incorporating the ones with higher protein amounts into your plan. If you can find the time to do this, it's a great way to fine-tune your plan.

NutriSystem Dessert

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 06:42:28 +0000

There’s no need to even limit the comfort when you’ve got an assortment of NutriSystem desserts. Creamy foods are a kids’ favorite, and they seem to be universally soothing. Here, Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program has Chocolate Chocolate Chip Pudding. It gives you that creamy, comfort sense with a little sophistication.

For some people, chocolate is like a pacifier, and NutriSystem has enough chocolate desserts to satisfy almost every taste. Love it combined with peanut butter? Try the Chocolate Peanut Butter Dessert Bar. Or for something more basic, open a bag of NutriChocolates and treat yourself. You can even enjoy chocolate cake in just minutes—Microwavable Chocolate Cake ready in just minutes and great, warm from the oven!

If you have coffee bar taste, brew a pot of your favorite herbal tea or decaf coffee, sit back, and enjoy a crisp, delicious biscotti. Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program has two flavors, Almond and Chocolate Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut. Keep both on hand, so you can choose, depending on the drink you choose or the mood you’re in.

And speaking of drinks, maybe you’d just like to end the day on a simple note with a steaming mug of Hot Cocoa. Chances are by the time you finish sipping, it will seem like summer again in your soul.

NutriSystem Dinner

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 06:40:51 +0000

One of the greatest ways to make your weight loss more productive is to find a partner or a buddy to share your journey with you on the Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program.

The first and most obvious question should be, “How do I go about finding a buddy?” That’s easy! There are so many people already looking to lose weight (or even people who are already on NutriSystem).

To help get you started on your buddy quest, here are five great ways that you can go about searching for fellow Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program companions.

1. Online. First and foremost, have you visited the member section of Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program? If not, you’re missing an amazing support group of people just like you who are losing weight with this program. In addition to keeping up with the latest news as well as keeping your weight loss information up to date, it’s a great place to meet people. In addition to chat rooms, there are a number of different boards geared to your specific needs. Are you a bride to be? Try the Wedding Winner board. If you’re a guy, head over to Dan Marino’s Team for some guy talk. Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find a discussion board that’s right for you. So log on and surf around a little. You’re bound to find someone with whom to strike up a conversation.

2. At Your Job. These are people you work with every day, so you should have a general idea of their lifestyles, habits, and, if you eat with them, their diets. Seek out those who you know are already on a diet. Even if they’re not on Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program, it helps to have someone nearby who understands where you’re coming from.

3. At the Gym. We don’t expect you to go up to strangers in the gym and ask them to be weight loss buddies. However, as you continue to meet people while you workout, you get to know people’s habits, patterns, likes, dislikes, etc. The guy on the treadmill next to you may be in exactly the same situation you are. Maybe he’d make a perfect NutriSystem buddy. It’s just like making any other friend in life, except this time, you have an instant connection with someone through a shared interest in weight loss.

4. Friends. This should be easy; they’re already your buddies. You already know them and like them. Why not take your friendship to a new level by creating a dedicated front against that stubborn weight? Studies show that people are influenced by and/or have an influence on their friends’ weights. Take advantage of this! There’s no better way to lose weight than with a friend who can help to keep you motivated (as long as you’re willing to do the same!).

5. Family. If you have several family members seeking to lose weight, it makes a lot of sense to do it together. In fact, this works very well for families living under the same roof. If you’re eating the same dinner, you’ll be sharing the same healthy foods! So invite your spouse to be a part of your plan. Or invite the kids. Either way, working together is a huge benefit to maintaining a weight loss plan, and who’s more important to share the success with than your family?

So keep an eye out for buddies! Losing weight is so much easier when you have someone to motivate you as well as share your successes!

Any battle worth fighting for has its share of ups and downs—Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program is no exception. When challenging feelings surface, the trick is to remain positive and to avoid beating yourself up. If things start to get a little crazy or you’re having trouble staying in control, stop for a minute and refocus. Here are three tools you can use to improve your attitude and get back on track:

1. Check your perspective.
Is your glass half-empty or half-full? It's a tired cliché, but sometimes it's a good ruler for judging your perceptions. Maybe you did fudge a little with dessert last Sunday, or you haven’t been eating all your salads and vegetables. You can acknowledge those things and still look on the bright side. Think about the good things you actually did: you drank your water and took your vitamins every day. You even managed to get in your exercise, despite the kids' crazy sports schedules. All these are markers of progress and serve as good reminders that maybe you're not as off-target as you might think.

2. Acknowledge your struggles.
There's no such thing as an easy road. Every choice you make means new challenges, and sometimes those choices are just downright hard to handle. That's okay. On days when you don't want to eat one more cup of yogurt, or make one more salad, allow yourself that feeling—don't run from it. Admit the things that are tough for you, but instead of giving in to them, use your head to come up with options and solutions. You might be surprised how the impossible becomes possible, if you only take the time to deal with the problem head on. And you'll be even more amazed at how empowered you feel once you find your way through.

3. Have faith in yourself.
Chances are, you've been through things a lot tougher than this. Personal struggles pepper our lives, and the weight loss battle is just another one of them. Changing a lifestyle that you've become used to takes a lot—maybe even more than you expected—but that doesn't mean you're not up to the task. Remember, you're in control here and getting stronger every day. Stay on track and realize that sheer desire is half the battle. The rest you can learn.

By recording everything you eat, you can actually double your loss with the Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program. This is the surprising finding from a study published in the August 2008 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

In the study, conducted by the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland, Oregon, approximately 1,700 overweight men and women attended weekly group meetings. They were also asked to cut back on calories, exercise regularly, and eat a low-fat, low-calorie diet. They were also told to record their food and exercise each day.

After 20 weeks, the average total Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program among participants was 13 pounds. But success in the program was largely determined by whether or not the participant kept a food journal. Basically, the people who kept consistent, detailed journals lost twice as much weight, on average, as those who didn’t record their food intake.

This study confirms what we’ve already recognized at Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program: it’s important to track your program. It’s why we have tools on our website to keep accurate daily records—not just of the foods you eat, but also of your water and your physical activity.

One of the best ways to ensure success on your Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program is to keep yourself accountable—always.

If you’re feeling lifeless or flat, you know the impact that can have on you: days feel much longer, and you lose the feeling of joy in your normal activities. While everyone has times like this, it doesn’t have happen. Here are six ways you can make your days seem more vital and less routine.

1. Set goals each day.
While this can seem a little tedious, it can be surprisingly invigorating, especially if you include some small goals that help you feel inspired. Think beyond routine here for things like “buy flowers for the living room” or “sit down and call an old friend.” When you accomplish each goal, check it off your list. Then you can look back and see just how much you actually do.

2. Get moving in the morning.
Okay, maybe you’re not a morning person. Still, there’s something about
working out in the morning that can really infuse you with a jolt of energy.
You don’t have to go through an entire fitness routine. Take a walk, or set aside the time for yoga or stretching exercises. You’ll be surprised by how alive it can make you feel.

3. Eat often but less.
Sure, you have to eat, but the key to vitality is eating more often, and eating smaller portions. Actually, the Nutrisystem Weight Loss Program is ideal—encouraging three meals a day plus snacks. Plus the NutriSystem balance of proteins and healthy carbs can also help increase your energy.
