That’s for a five-day week, and it’s probably a lot less than I usually spend on food. After the initial $422 outlay, subsequent months, I was told, would only cost $261. Besides, I wasn’t going to be eating this stuff for the rest of my life, was I? On the other hand, I really liked the taste of the meals and they were super easy to microwave. I weighed my options and decided I’d ingest anything to lose my extra weight. What stuff am I talking about? Well, try acetylated monoglycerides. My eyebrows kept arching higher and higher as I read the ingredients, but I guess a lot of unpronounceable stuff is in there so the food doesn’t go bad during its month-long stay in the pantry. One word of warning: if you oppose food additives, don’t try this diet. This soda and extra candy bar lapse put me 250 calories behind the eight-ball on the very first day, but that wasn’t as bad as it could have been, right? All told, if my math was right, I had ingested 1,625 calories on that first day I shudder to think what my normal pre-Nutrisystem count might have been. I could go without dinner, I told myself, but even as the thought occurred, I knew that wasn’t going to happen. Well, I wasn’t going to waste a whole soda, so … But then, making matters worse, I also ate tomorrow’s snack, a chocolate and pretzel candy bar. Habit drew me to the fridge and I’d snapped the lid on a soda can before I realized I’d done it. ![]() I have to confess, I sort of cheated the first day, but partly it was an accident. Was I really hungry, or was it just that I was accustomed to shoveling a lot more food into my mouth? Maybe next meal I could take smaller bites or eat slower so the meal wouldn’t be over so fast. I stopped this train of thought and questioned myself. When could dinner officially start? Could it be as early as 4 p.m.? No? Maybe I could sleep until dinner. On the down side, it was only 20 minutes after I had those noodles that I was wondering what I could have for dinner. The kung pao noodles (lunch) were so good that I drank the remaining sauce. The Belly Buster shake, despite having been made with water, was chocolate-y as all get out. I have to say, the food I ate on my first day was really good. ![]() ![]() I mention this so you don’t make the same mistake I did, which was to gobble down a bag labeled “snack” before I’d found the starter stuff. Inside the box is a seven-day starter kit. Remember, I’d ordered the vegetarian package, so for dinner I had, for example, mushroom risotto, bean Bolognese, pizza and vegetarian chili. But what did I expect? The labels on the meals sounded delicious. It was fun looking at the contents, each labeled breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack. Did I really eat that much food in a mere 30 days? And this was diet food, too! OK, my Nutrisystem box containing a month’s worth of food arrived.
