In many ways, when we are overweight, our every day life suffers plus the long term effects of obesity is life shortening.
When I am controlling my weight like I am doing now, I feel more in control of all my life. Eating the wrong things and mainly for "emotional" reasons is why I became obese. It is like being an alcoholic but you are addicted to the emotional roller coaster of eating tasty foods instead. I am in remission!
Nutrisystem is the diet plan for me. It works for me. I am down from 190 pounds to 171 pounds and I plan on going down to 120 to 130, which is a healthy weight for my height, age and body build.
Nutrisystem has several different plans. I started out on the 5 day plan. I am now on the 3 day plan. You eat Nutrisystem foods for 3 days and then the rest of the time you eat "flex meals" consisting of very easy to follow lists of power fuels and smart carbs plus vegetables. IT SIMPLY WORKS.
In my first shipment I received a leaflet explaining what to eat on the flex meal days comparable to the Nutrisystem foods but foods I can buy in the grocery. They have a list of all the power fuels, smart carbs and vegetables in which you can choose to eat 6 meals a day. I am eating more on this diet than I was eating before this diet. The trick is eating the "right kind of food combinations" at the same times every day amounting to a calorie deficit they figure out for you electronically online when you join their program. It simply is the easiest the way to lose weight and learn how to eat once you have lost the weight to keep it off.
It is also important to exercise at least 30 minutes per day.
