It is very important to find a solution that works for everyone, before embarking on a quest to lose weight,
as failures and setbacks can be daunting and reduce resolve and motivation.
Finding the correct program or diet can increase the chances of success and reduce the risk of the dreaded yo-yo effect. There are, however solutions which aim to help people manage their weight and obtain a healthier and happier lifestyle.
How Does Nutrisystem and Weight Watchers Work
Two of the most prestigious and well-known approaches to weight loss today are Nutrisystem and Weight Watchers. Each of these companies offer a structured approach to dieting that takes the guesswork out of healthy eating and provides a stable, controlled environment that allows participants to achieve their goal of losing weight and becoming a healthier person. Both companies have a long-standing record of providing excellent solutions and a wholesome approach to a healthier lifestyle.
While Nutrisystem relies on providing ready-made and well thought out meals, Weight Watchers has developed a points system, whereby each meal consumed has a certain amount of points, which can be added up. Nutrisystem eliminates the need to count calories. As most meals are prepared already, Nutrisystem can help alleviate the stressful notion that healthy meals must be freshly cooked and sourced. Weight Watchers, on the other hand, gives you the freedom to eat any food you want provided you consume mainly on those that are healthy. This of course is not that easy for people who have habitually consumed junk food their whole life, but Weight Watchers has a system that teaches you new habits that support a healthy lifestyle.
Nutrisystem is best for those who want to lose weight relatively fast, as it emphasizes portion control and calorie restriction, while Weight Watchers is best for those who want to see results in the long haul, as it emphasizes long term results and maintaining a new, healthier body.
Both Nutrisystem and Weight Watchers offer promotions and special deals to help get people involved and help participants decide which program is best for them.
Nutrisystem currently has many promotions, tailored to individual needs and situations, such as a 25$ off their biggest plan—Uniquely Yours. This plan offers a choice of 150 meals that can be individually selected and put together into a structured and wholesome yet diverse diet plan. They also offer free bars and shakes when you purchase your first plan with them. Most first-time plans come with a range of offers, such as Lean 13 with free shakes and bars or saving 35% on any 4-week Auto-Delivery plans.
Weight Watchers has an offer where participants can save up to 34% when joining for the first time and a plan that comes with an Apple Watch: This is the Online Plus plan, which provides online support for participants by allowing them to track their progress and connect with other participants for support and guidance. Participants in this offer receive an Apple Watch 2, which can further help them track their health and progress.
To summarize, it really depends on your individual needs which of these two programs is the best choice. While Weight Watchers offers a comprehensive points-system this can be a bit daunting for beginners. In contrast, Nutrisystem has no counting system at all, but has a slightly smaller variety of meal choices.
Both systems however have helped millions of Americans achieve and sustain a healthier lifestyle and slimmer figure.
