Did you know that NutriSystem has a Diabetic Diet Plan?

Yes! Now you can enjoy the foods you love, lose weight and control your diabetes with the best and least expensive diabetic diet plan out there! Featuring all your favorite foods, Nutrisystem D is a low-Glycemic Index program full of good carbs and fiber to help control your blood sugar levels and keep you feeling fuller longer.

If you're like us, you probably find it very difficult, if not impossible, to eat right all the time! We all live busy lifestyles. We don't always have time to grocery shop, plan ahead, or cook. We are guilty of running to the fast-food restaurant and driving through, because we're in a hurry...

It's true, many of the fast-food restaurants are offering healthier choices now than they used to. You can get salads, healthy sandwiches, chicken, etc. It beats the burger and fries - but still is not really healthy.

One month, we decided to keep receipts and find out just how much we were spending on eating out in a month... WOW!!! The total was over $1,200! No wonder we didn't have any money left at the end of the month!

Then we saw an ad on TV about NutriSystem

Did you know that they have a diabetic diet plan? Most of their food is really good, and it's so convenient! You can choose what foods you want for 28 days (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack(s) and dessert). If you choose, you can sign up for auto-ship, which saves you some money, and they'll automatically ship your food to you each month!

We used the auto-ship for 3 months. We liked it because you can go onto the website and change your order whenever you want to.

In 3 months, I lost 15 pounds, and Mike lost 20! We were never hungry, and it was fun to go to the cupboard at meal time and pick what we each wanted to eat!

Mike is a picky eater - and he found plenty of the NutriSystem foods that he liked! "Even Mikey likes it!"

We have tried just about every other diet that there is - and after about a month, we would start noticing that we didn't have enough energy to keep our busy lifestyle! And, we were hungry! When you're hungry, you can't stay with it for long. NutriSystem has the right amounts of good carbs and protein, so you always feel good!

NutriSystem is hundreds of dollars less than other weight loss programs! Forbes.com found NutriSystem to be the lowest-priced popular weight loss program for the second year in a row! (Forbes.com, 1/02/08 and 12/23/08). We are saving money by not eating out as often - and we feel great!

Just think, if you could get your blood sugar levels under control with this diabetic diet plan - how much money you would save on test strips, medications, and the rest!

A three month clinical study at Temple University School of Medicine, study participants with type 2 diabetes who were on Nutrisystem® D™ lost up to 16 times more weight as those who followed the hospital diet and exercise plan. In addition, they saw the following improvements:

Nutrisystem® D™ is based on more than 35 years of weight loss research, and is low-glycemic and full of good carbs and fiber, which keeps you feeling fuller longer. People on the Nutrisystem® D™ program eat six times a day, which helps keep blood sugar levels stable.

Plus, there are more than 140 entrees available on both the men’s and the women’s Nutrisystem® D™ programs, including the new, yummy Cinnamon Bun, comforting Cheesy Homestyle Potatoes, Asian Style Orange Chicken, which will remind you of your favorite take-out restaurant, and Golden Pound Cake. All these foods are ready to go or prepare in just minutes.

Nutrisystem® customers receive a welcome kit which includes a meal planner, a resource guide highlighting Nutrisystem tips and tools for weight loss, and an on-the-go meal planner.

There’s also ongoing support available for anyone on Nutrisystem® D™. This includes access to weekly e-classes with a registered dietitian, convenient phone counseling and a dedicated section on the Nutrisystem Discussion Boards called “Diabetes and Dieting,” which offers you the chance to talk with other people who are on the Nutrisystem® D™ program.

We now keep our favorites on-hand and pull them out when we are too busy, or just too tired, to cook. We also take NutriSystem with us when we go camping - and it's wonderful! Who wants to cook when you're camping? (We camp with our horses, and I'd much rather be riding than cooking!)

We can honestly recommend this system, because we use it ourselves! If you find yourself having days that you just don’t have the time or the energy to plan healthy meals, you may want to give it a try.
