Food-Included Weight Loss Programs: Should You Try One? By Barbara Morris, R.ph.

<p>My husband decided to shed a few pounds, so to make it easier for him I volunteered to shed a few pounds also. (Misery loves company.)<br /><br />How did we decide to do it?<br /><br />We bought a month's supply of Nutrisystem meals.<br /><br />The advertising is terrific. The demonstrations on the home shopping shows are compelling. By golly, it looks like real food, good food, and plenty of it. It's a system made in heaven. Or is it?<br /><br />Yuk.<br /><br />And I do mean yuk. If you've tried it and had success with it, good for you. But I hope you didn't stay on it too long. It just can't be a healthy way to eat for a long period of time.<br /><br />Dried egg powder in a packet. Hotdogs in a packet. Dried soup in a packet. Cereal in a packet. Ham in a packet. Everything is either dried or vacuum-sealed. The packaging is designed to keep the contents edible almost forever. T

hat may be ideal for a supply of survival food you keep in the garage in the event of a catastrophe, but food to be eaten every day? I don't think so. Even if you add your own fruit and vegetables, it's not acceptable.<br /><br />The pictures on the containers of the prefab meals look so tempting. As example, the picture on the lasagna carton doesn't even remotely resemble what's in the carton. Truth be told, the meal is not very appetizing to look at.<br /><br />To be fair, several of the pasta meals were tasty. Some of the snacks were tasty. Most of the dinners were just so-so. I had to toss a couple of roast beef dinners because the food trays were not sealed properly and the contents had been leaking. Not smart to eat that.<br /><br />When you think about it
