Celebrity Style – Getting In Shape For Summer! (Part 3)

Continuing our new article series on getting you ready for summer and looking like a celeb, FanBolt brings you part 3 of our on-going review of NutriSystem.

I, Liz Bailey, have been evaluating the product over the last three weeks and have been documenting my progress. Week one and Week two were really successful for me. I felt great and have lost a total of five 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 3 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: Once again, as I noted last week, some of the portions are insanely small. The cereals and the oatmeal are tastey but not filling in the least. 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: 139 (Lost 3 More Pounds)

Thoughts Thus Far: I am still liking the program. I feel like a lot of what this system does is teach you portion control. Eating smaller meals along a with snack spread out through the day helps you to feel lighter and healthier. This program combined with exercising and a little bit of weight lifting helps to not only burn the extra pounds – but also helps to start showing muscle tone in your legs and arms.

On to Week 4!
