Celebrity Style – Getting In Shape For Summer! (Part 2)

NutriSystem

Continuing our new article series on getting you ready for summer and looking like a celeb, FanBolt brings you part 2 of our on-going review of NutriSystem.

I, Liz Bailey, have been evaluating the product over the last two weeks and have been documenting my progress. Week one was really successful for me. I felt great and lost three pounds!

I’ve been sticking to the woman’s plan that NutriSystem offers, and I’ve also been exercising on an every other day basis. I’ve been documenting the foods I eat (any breaks from the routine that occur), as well as my exercise program. This has been a program that has been proven to work for not only celebrities but also for the everyday guy and gal. So we’ll see how it ends up!

Week 2 of 4 – Each day I will rate how much like the food on a 1-10 scale for each meal, so you can get a better idea of what foods are yummy and which ones aren’t so much.

Notes: Let me note a couple things. I only rated the tastefulness above. The actual portions of some of these products are crazy small. The Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal could have been eaten entirely in one bit and the cereal packets equal about 1/10 of a bowl. It’s a ridiculous small amount that does not fill you up at all. I recommend you avoid these if you’re ordering this program – stick with scones, muffins, and breakfast bars for breakfast. They’re small, but much more filling.

End Of Week Weight: 142 (Lost 2 More Pounds)

Thoughts Thus Far: I still like this program a lot. Though now that I’ve started eating some of the cereals, I’ve been starving in the mornings. The first time I opened one of those packets I just stared at it and thought, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’ The photos on their website are extremely misleading.

Aside from the amusingly small portions of the breakfast items though – my progress has been quite good thus far. I think I’m also starting to build a little muscle which is also exciting to see.

On to Week 3!
