Nutrisystem® Body Select™ Power Lean 5-Day Weight Loss Kit: Delicious Meals with Protein Powered Nutrition

I put on 25 lbs eating sugar and pasta the last few months during covid lockdown and thought this might help me lose the weight. I purchased this exact product through the store not Amazon. After being on the product for two weeks and losing 6 lbs, I had a gall bladder pain. If you Google it, apparently this is a common issue with fast weight loss/Nutrisystem; however, I have used other programs to lose weight (specifically lowfat, and I normally eat a very lowfat diet) and never had an issue. Perhaps there was more fat in the product than my body was used to. I just want to warn people to discontinue the product immediately if you begin to have side pain. There were lawsuits about this in the 90s and Nutrisystem has since added it to their disclaimer that "Any weight loss program may cause constipation, muscle cramps, dehydration, diarrhea, dizziness, dry or cold skin, fatigue, *gallbladder inflammation or gallstones*, gout, hair loss, headaches, heart palpitations, loss of lean body mass, irregular or stopping of menstruation, reduced tolerance to cold, as well as other possible side effects."

This is my second box. Glad I purchased from Amazon because I received the authentic product, complete with all meals and the meal planning guide at a better price than from Nutrisystem. That didn't happen when I purchased from Wally world. Between COVID and a broken ankle, I needed an affordable, healthy solution that was easy to prepare. So glad I tried this. The meals are actually pretty good! And there is plenty to eat. While you can't pick your meals, you can purchase different kits for variety, or if you are trying to focus on different aspects of your diet. I first tried the "Balanced" plan, now I'm trying the "Protein Powered" plan to address bone healing. Very easy to use, all you need is a microwave, so if you're hobbling around on crutches or a knee scooter like me right now, and can't cook, it's a breeze to still eat healthy and prepare your own meals. There are treats and protein shakes too (separate purchases, however). You can add a simple salad, or slice of bread, almonds, fruit, veggies, an egg, avocado, etc., to enhance your plan. It is all in the meal planning booklet. You are also eligible for online support if needed.This is a great, healthy system to allow you to lose or maintain your weight in a nutritionally sound, but realistic manner. This ensures you will keep it off and restart solid eating habits, or teach yourself how to eat better going forward, or simply stay on course. And it won't break the bank. Ordering it from Amazon makes it so easy, nothing to join, no commitments to make. So glad I tried it; can't recommend it highly enough.

I ordered three boxes, I have order before and I like the product. However the first box I opened was missing two lunches and three breakfasts. The other two boxes had all contents with nothing missing. At this price you should get what they say your going to get. So check your box for missing items if you buy one.

I received this product just yesterday so I'm basing this review on my initial impression.Be sure to read the fine print. 1: The five day plan requires "Add-On" product that are not in the kit. 2: Plus you may need to add real food to the 5-day plan, like vegetables to increase meal sizes. 3: The claim of losing 7 pound in two weeks require three of these boxes. 4: Portion sizes are small but they do seem filling.BTW: I'm not complaining, just making observations.So far, I've had one of the dinner meal, two snack bars and one oatmeal breakfast. I have to admit, the flavors are really good and they do seem to be filling for such small portions.I think the most important part is setting the intention to lose weight and engage this plan KNOWING I'm going to have to make some changes. Also, unlimited non-starchy vegetables will help. I like vegetables so I'll have to precook a batch to have with my meals.So far, so good.

1 week of food comes in a box not much bigger than a shoe box and porphins so small it would starve a small child and also you get no deserts. I went off diet first day, because I was so hungry. This was an expensive lesion will not do it again.

I’m not bashing the product because it works, but beware of this particular seller, both seals were broken on my kit and someone else’s hand written notes in my meal planner book! Food items are not reusable guys! Clearly I paid $50 for someone else’s discarded kit.

Great product

Good jump start to a diet only lost 3lbs...tho Don't expect to lose more in 5 days because that's totally unrealistic. Actually good quality food although i had to sprinkle a little seasoning for flavor. But overall good stuff.
