Nutri System vs Weight Watchers (systems, cardio, lose weight, calorie)

[cbags]

Experiences?

How bad/good does the food actually taste?

A friend lost 40lbs on this in about 3 months plus 20-30 mins cardio/day. I've done weight watchers before and that works if you follow it properly. I'm ready to get back in the swing of things and just wondering if I should try NS this time.

I'm moving somewhere thats pretty rural and expensive for groceries. So I was thinking that having my meals mailed to the house might be a good idea.

Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks!

For nutri system I never got past the fact that I could get the
same prepackaged ,one portion, low calorie meals, that taste better and are cheaper at the grocery store in the frozen section.
I personally did not like the nutri system foods but maybe they have improved since I tried.

Do they allow you to try out the food before you commit to a plan
and have to lock in.

I talked to Jenny Craig a year ago and did not go with it because you had to lock in for a long period. I asked "what if am displeased with the food
or the program?" basically..tough luck...

My Husband and I are loving the WW plans . We are losing and
learning healthy eating and it fits nice with still cooking for a family.

I think both systems are bogus and just great ways to lighten your wallet. I've family and friends who have been on both and every single one of them gained back everything they lost within just a year or two after starting. No one stays with these systems for ever (no one remains "pleased with the program" for much more than a few months), and no one who buys into them seem to understand that with just the most fundamental nutritional knowledge you can shop for and package your own meals; meals which have more fresh and better ingredients overall.

These prepackaged meal systems are lousy at helping people lose weight.

I found Nutri System to taste REALLY bad!! It was about 3 years ago when I tried it. I'm not that picky about food and I found it to be be bad!!

I was Jenny Craig before and lost down to my goal weight (100lbs lost). The food is pretty darn good, but it's expensive.

I say go with Weight Watchers. It's more realistic and less expensive overall.Also less reliance on prepackaged meals is healthier.
