Is Nutrisystem Select Better Than Regular Nutrisystem?

I'm starting to get a lot of questions about Nutrisystem's new gourmet frozen foods line (called "select.") People want to know if the select line is better than the basic line. And, if it is better, they want to know if it's worth the additional cost. In the following article, I'll go over some of the details and differences in the select line to help you determine if you'd consider it better than the regular plan. Hopefully, this information will also help you evaluate if it's worth the additional cost.

Nutrisystem Basic And Select Work In The Same Way: Before I go over what sets the frozen line apart, I want to stress that the real difference between these two plans is in the additional food selections. You will still eat the diet meals five times per day. You still add in your own fresh sides. The calorie to carb to protein ratio remains the same, as does the nutritional value. The premium status of the select line is due to the quality and convenience of the frozen foods.

\"Diet Meals\"

Both Nutrisystem Lines Share Some Of The Same Foods, But There Are Two Weeks' Worth Of Frozen Foods Added To The Select Line: There's a misconception that the foods in these two lines are totally different. This isn't necessarily the case. The premium plan does include two weeks' worth of some of the more popular items in the basic line. But, half of the order (two weeks' worth) includes the new frozen entrees. (Of course, like with any of the packages, you can chose your own foods rather than going to with "favorites.")

Is Nutrisystem Select Better Than Regular Nutrisystem?

For breakfast, the new frozen foods are foods like pancakes, french toast, a breakfast burrito, and an omelet. Some of the lunch favorites are centered on the new lunch melts such as the ham and cheese, the meatball, and the steak and cheese melts. There's also chicken fajita and chicken quesadilla sandwiches. For dinner, they've added chicken and shrimp alfredos, glazed turkey, ravioli, turkey pepperoni pizza, Salisbury steak, macaroni and cheese, and stuffed shells.

The dessert options are standouts for me because they include ice cream products (which obviously you don't typically find on a diet.) There's sundaes, ice cream sandwiches, and fruit and ice cream bars.

So, Is The Nutrisystem Select Line Worth The Money? Is It Really Any Better Than The Regular Package?: This really does depend upon your taste and preferences. With the premium option, you are given two weeks' worth of additional variety with the new frozen foods. And the taste on these new items is very good. But there are many of the basic foods that I find to be very good as well. There is a premium price for the frozen foods. Depending on the specials running, you're generally looking at around more for the entire month. That's about more dollars per week or around more per day.

Since the select line is a package, you can usually use coupons for it, but you'll still be paying somewhat of a premium. Whether this is worth it to you depends upon how much you like the basic line. I find that most people really do like the taste of the frozen foods, particularly the desserts. And some people would rather pay a bit extra for this. Many people have the attitude that since they're going to be eating the diet meals quite regularly, they may as well make this as appealing and pleasurable as is possible.

Nutrisystem Or Medifast - Which Is Better?

With the recent attention that Tori Spelling, Kristi Swanson and Genie Francis have gotten from losing very noticeable amounts of weight on both Medifast and Nutrisystem, many people wonder which of the two plans is the better option. Although both plans have many similarities, they differ in a few key areas. Following is a comparison of both plans:

Nutrisystem In A Nutshell: Like Medifast, Nutrisystem offers prepackaged meals that you rely upon for most of the day. You are to eat a Nutrisystem meal for your breakfast, lunch, evening meal and for two daily snacks. Nutrisystem encourages you to supplement your lunch and dinner meals with your own fruits and vegetables. In essence, you are eating the diet meals five times per day and supplementing with your own healthy foods. Nutrisystem claims that if you follow the plan you will lose 1 to 3 pounds per week.

\"Diet Meals\"

Medifast In A Nutshell: Most people who participate in Medifast follow the 5 plus 1 plan. This means that you eat five small Medifast meals plus one "lean and green meal" which you make yourself. Like Nutrisystem, Medifast offers prepackaged foods. However, you will be eating six times per day as opposed to eating five times per day with Nutrisystem. You can have your "lean and green" meal at any time, but most people have it for their evening meal. Medifast claims that those who follow the 5 plus 1 program typically lose about 2 pounds per week.

Nutrisystem Or Medifast - Which Is Better?

Support Offered By Both Plans: Both Medifast And Nutrisystem offer a huge amount of support to their members. Neither require a monthly payment to use their websites, support communities, forums or recipe boards. These resources are quite helpful.

The Costs: The costs are pretty close, with Medifast being a bit cheaper. On average, Nutrisystem runs about per day whereas Medifast runs about per day. Both companies offer coupons and discounts to bring the costs down.

The Differences: The major differences are the frequency that you will eat, the amount of time you'll be eating the plan's prepackaged foods, and how often you will need to supplement with your own food.

You eat once more per day on Medifast (six times as opposed to five times on Nutrisystem). You supplement with your own foods more with Nutrisystem (with each lunch and dinner meal). However, you are responsible for your own main meal with Medifast (the "lean and green meal".) You will eat prepackaged foods at every meal with Nutrisystem. With Medifast, you do take a break from the prepackaged foods at your main meal.

In my opinion, Medifast offers more snack or dessert type options which make you feel as though you are cheating a bit or not on a diet.

So, Which Is Better? Whether Medifast or Nutrisystem is better for you depends on your own personality or preferences. Both systems do have proven success records. Many individuals have lost weight on both plans. Both are competively priced. It comes down to which of the food options you prefer. Do you wish to eat five or six meals? How often you want to supplement or prepare your own foods? These are individual decisions.

Personally, I have preferred Medifast. This preference is strictly because I like the taste of Medifast's shakes, bars, and lattes and I like that I only have to provide food for myself once per day.

I believe either plan can help you achieve your weight loss goals if you follow the plan as designed.
