I've begun getting a lot of question about Nutrisystem Balance. This is the diet's maintenance program that many people opt for when they are trying to transition off the diet and keep off the weight that they have lost while on the program. People often want to know how the program works, whether you still eat the nutrisystem meals, and approximately how much this program costs. I will try to address all of these concerns in the following article.
How Nutrisystem Balance Works In A Real Life Setting: It's one thing to know that this is the diet's maintenance program meant to ease you back into making your own food choices, but it's another thing to see how it works in a real life setting. Much of this program is based on a concept called the energy gap. The idea behind this is that since you've lost weight, your body burns less calories and energy at rest because it needs less to sustain itself. So, the idea behind the energy gap is that you'll need to calculate a calorie and activity level adjustment to maintain your new weight. The program helps you to do this.
Basically, you're assigned a counselor to help you figure out the precise calorie and physical activity level needed to maintain your desired weight. Of course, as you see how well this works, you can tweak it as you go along. They also help you come up with meals and a regimen to ensure that this actually happens, considering your schedule. You're typically given a "balance kit" which includes a meal planner, recipes, and a fitness tracker. Now, a day on the balance program looks different depending on the person's preferences who are on it.
This program really isn't designed to be "one size fits all." The idea is to find a combination that works best for you. Some people chose to get their calories mostly from preparing their own meals. The company does have a cook book specifically for this. But, some people will continue to buy some favorite nutrisystem meals because they just find this to be easier. Some people will sort of mix and match both of these methods depending on how much time they have or how much they enjoy preparing their own meals.
So, the experience and the cost of this plan is going to depend upon how much nutrisystem foods you're going to be using or what you spend on the ingredients for the meals you'll make yourself. I know that some people will just order their favorite individual foods via the a la carte option. And, some will order a value trial package that gives them a variety of favorites to have on hand to mix and match with regular meals.
For example, the women's seven day value pack is $129. For this reason, I know that some people find it much more cost effective to order a custom monthly package and to use the coupons. Because you can get enough food for a month sometimes in the mid $200 range which is more cost effective and will last you much longer and give you much more food to work with.
And, when you're on the balance program, any monthly package that you customize may well last you much more than a month, especially if you are easing into making your own meals. So the price of being on this program is going to vary widely depending on what types of food you plan to use. The plan really is designed to be as flexible as possible. They help you determine the calories and amount of exercise needed to maintain your weight. But the meals and the type of exercise that you use to accomplish this is up to you.
