The document summarizes the costs of Nutrisystem's popular diet delivery program. It finds that while promotional prices for Nutrisystem plans start at around $10 per day, full retail prices are higher. Nutrisystem provides all meals and snacks for dieters, which can cost much less than regular grocery spending. Specialty plans are available for diabetics and vegetarians. The document recommends purchasing multi-week Nutrisystem plans directly from their website to get the full program and best prices.
2. Introduction
This publication has been created to appraise the in-depth review of the cost of
Nutrisystem in the popular website nstuf.com, authored by myself (Natalie Tuffnal).
This website is dedicated to explaining how a person can become successful at
dieting using this program to lose weight where other diets may have failed a person.
There are many reasons why a person would make use of this program to help them
to lose weight. Most often it is busy people with little time free to work a traditional
diet.
Nutrisystem provides ready made meals that are delivered to the customer's home.
This takes the lack of time factor away by making it quick and easy to have meals
prepared and ready to eat from package to table in under two minutes in most cases.
Another great benefit is that the meals are easily transportable, so for instance, a
lunch meal can be taken to work and eaten in place of what, for many people would
otherwise be a high calorie, quickly grabbed meal to go.
Explaining the Nutrisystem Diet Program
If you are new to the meal replacement diet delivery concept, this guide will help
unravel some of the mysteries and hopefully answer any questions you may have.
The following pages are simply providing an explanation and appraisal of the
website's own look at the overall cost of Nutrisystem to the customer and what they
should expect to get from the program.
3. What You Are Paying For
This section looks at what the customer is paying for when they sign up with
Nutrisystem.
So basically, what are you paying for with Nutrisystem?
Taking the current pricing from the official Nutrisystem website, nstuf.com displays
an introductory look at where the base price begins from.
The lowest cost plan is the Basic Plan for women. As prices fluctuate, I will not
publish actual dollar prices in this booklet, but if you follow the link above, you can
open the relative paragraph in the website page that reveals the latest starting price.
Here's a quote from this part of the nstuf.com web page:
″If you don't already know, this diet company ships a full four weeks supply of food in
each batch. And each shipment contains everything you need to succeed.
You get three full meals per day plus a protein shake and snack bars. These meals on
their own provide everything you need to lose weight and feel satisfied and not
hungry at all.
When you compare what it would cost you for all your food for those four weeks if
you bought them all from the store, it is easy to see how much money Nutrisystem
actually saves you!″
You pay for the food they send you, depending on which plan you selected as well as
access to support staff, nutrition experts and counsellors who can help customers to
get the most from their diet.
4. What Does Your Regular Food Cost You?
This section of the article takes a cold hard look at what many people would spend on
average at the grocery store as well as at restaurants and ordering takeaway meals or
snacks.
For many people, the weekly food bill is a lot higher than you'd expect when you take
into account all the extras that happen in addition to the weekly grocery spend.
For people that work long hours or have little time to cook or prepare meals for
themselves, relying on takeaways or store-bought microwave meals can be the norm.
And many of these meals can work out to be a lot more expensive than buying fresh
ingredients and creating home cooked meals the traditional way.
What does food cost for a week or what is an average weekly food spend these days?
This section of the article even provides a USDA recommended food spend for a
week for an average family of four people. Of course, eating out at restaurants will
raise the cost of food by quite a lot!
5. Monthly Nutrisystem Price
Back to the monthly cost of Nutrisystem for the various plans and we find that at the
lowest cost end is the Basic Plan for women.
Many websites quote a very low price, often working out at around $10 a day for a
28-day package of food, but this price is generally including a first-month discount
offer that the company often promotes to attract new customers.
The full retail price of the various plans is generally much higher than you see in the
many promotional TV ads or those in newspapers and magazines.
Fortunately, nstuf.com is there to reveal the less attractive higher prices as well as the
promotional discounted price tags.
Here is a quote from the site:
″We're talking a base figure of around $10 a day for the women's Basic Plan. What
did you calculate an average day's worth of regular food you're eating now is costing
you? It's probably 2-3 times that figure, isn't it!″
As you can see, the entry-level price can be very low when compared with what an
average family would spend on food for the same time period.
6. Full 28-Day Per-Plan Price Comparison
Here is a very nice and useful addition to this site in the form of an easy-to-read chart
outlining the prices for the various diet plans for both men and women.
This Nutrisystem plan price breakdown makes comparing prices between plans very
easy indeed!
The chart also lists the current full retail price of each Nutrisystem plan, so you can
see the big difference between what you would pay with the first-month discount
compared with the full price. The chart looks at the plans, which are:
Plans for Women
• Basic Plan

• Uniquely Yours Max+
• Vegetarian Plan
• D Basic
• D Uniquely Yours
• D Uniquely Yours Ultimate
Plans for Men

7. Choosing Your Plan
Following on from the cost analysis of the popular Nutrisystem diet plans for men
and women, the article goes on to explain each plan in more depth.
It looks at the benefits of the Nutrisystem diet from the perspective of each plan and
how a dieter might maximize their chances of successfully losing the amount of
weigh that they have decided they want to lose.
Taking Delivery
Once you have competed your order, Nutrisystem will package up and ship your 28-
day meal package to your home.
Another great benefit is that you get free FedEx shipping with the auto-delivery
option.
Note: Auto-delivery comes as standard when you take advantage of a first month
special offer, such as the 50% off promotion that is often run by the company.
Here is a quote from the website:
″Whether you're a woman or a man, there are three main Plans available that you
can choose from, plus full-plan options for vegetarians and diabetics. But which one
will you choose?″
Let's take a look at the different diet plans in a little more detail.
8. Nutrisystem Basic Plan
The Nutrisystem Basic Plan for men and women is the lowest cost and is made up of
mainly ″shelf stable″ meals that are generally processed and packaged for fast and
easy preparation.
This plan has a number of limits and is generally not recommended for a person that
is used to eating home cooked meals.
9. Nutrisystem Uniquely Yours Plans
The Nutrisystem Uniquely Yours and Uniquely Yours Max+ plans are a little more
expensive (typically one to two dollars more per day than the Basic plan).
They come with fresh frozen meals that are of higher quality than those provided by
the Basic plan.
For people accustomed to eating home cooked meals, these plans are a better fit with
tastes and needs.
10. Nutrisystem Specialty Diet Plans
In addition to the above diet plans, Nutrisystem also provides specialty plans
designed to satisfy certain dietary needs for people that have them.
While menus can be customized to suit tastes as well as eliminate certain foods that
may trigger allergies etc, Nutrisystem has put together two major diet plan options to
cover a broad spectrum of dietary needs.
Nutrisystem D
Specially prepared for diabetics, the Nutrisystem D plans have been developed to
help those with diabetes to lose weight with a low calorie, low sugar diet option.
The plans are divided into three as with the standard plans to suit different budgets.
These are:
• Nutrisystem D Basic Plan
• Nutrisystem D Uniquely Yours
• Nutrisystem D Uniquely Yours Ultimate
These plans closely match the relevant standard plans in price and benefits.
Nutrisystem Vegetarian Plan
For vegetarians, there are also specialty plans developed for men and women who do
not eat meat or meat products.
The Nutrisystem Vegetarian Plan is carefully formulated for non-meat eating dieters
and provides a varied menu of over 90 great tasting vegetarian meals.
11. Where to Get Nutrisystem?
Now that you have decided that you are signing up with Nutrisystem to lose weight
with one of their amazing diet plans, the next thing to do is find where you can get
Nutrisystem from!
While it is possible to buy smaller, 7 day food packs from stores like Wal-Mart, a
seven day diet is not really a diet, is it?
The motivation to succeed is just not there, or even worse, you'll get people that will
buy a 7-day pack and then complain they didn't lose enough weight!
Of course they didn't. Seven days is not enough time to get your body adapted to
burning fat and losing weight!
Buy Direct
Far better to buy Nutrisystem direct online, from the manufacturer: Nutrisystem!
That way, you'll have access to a home delivered bundle of 28-day meal packages
that will be replenished as soon as the first 28 days is completed (with auto-delivery).
The total cost of buying Nutrisystem food packages this way, meal for meal is a lot
less than buying smaller packs from stores who need to add their own profit margin
to the price!
The fastest and easiest way to get to the official Nutrisystem website and lock in their
current discount is to click the promotional image link below:
