Re: Costco to offer NutriSystem

[Guest guest]

What is everyone's opinion about NutriSystem? It seems every other

client I see is on it, although they don't necessarily like the meals.

I tell them that it is high in sodium and, depending on the meal, not

very balanced, but that if the portion control helps them lose weight

and they are not hypertensive, it might work for them.

While on this topic, does anyone have any home delivery meal

replacement programs they would recommend? DietToGo is the only one I

can find with a dietitian on staff, but unfortunately, doesn't serve

my area.

Patients I have that have tried do not care for it. Poor quality food is one

complaint I have heard. It is not tailored to the individuals' needs.

leViv (www.leviv.com) is a meal delivery program primarily focused on

health and well-being for those who are living with chronic disease.

It's also for people who are looking to eat more healthfully. The

food is great, created by an east coast chef, whole foods based.

I've been seening a few products at Big Lots for the past few months.

Haven't tried any of them. They don't look appetizing to me. I haven't

looked at any of the labels. For being at an outlet store, they didn't seem

like very good prices.
