Nutrisystem is for men and women/20off
Whether you are a man or a woman, you most likely have heard about Nutrisystem because it is seemingly everywhere – on TV, radio, billboards, and finally even at Walmart and Costco. So what is it all about and why is it so popular?
Men have different nutritional needs than women
Women had various diets made just for them for years, but men were ignored for the longest time, and Nutrisystem is now ready to change that with a diet plan balanced just for men. Without any further ado, let’s dive into this diet for men and discover everything we should know about weight loss with it before signing up:
How does Nutrisystem for men work?
The delivery diet is 28-days of pre-planned and pre-portioned meals that are created with Glycemic Index in mind. Every meal contains all the necessary nutrients and calories that will help you lose weight without making you starve.

Portion control is very important for every diet, and this one has it all figured out, so you don’t have to. Diet shouldn’t impact your life and prevent you from being active, and this one definitely doesn’t. If you work out a lot though, 1,200 calorie per day diet will not be enough, so you will be encouraged to supplement with fruit and veggies on your own.

Would we recommend Nutrisystem for men?
Yes, the results are there, so we think it is a good diet, but for a short-term. It gets expensive and repetitive for a long term. If you are willing to make sacrifices and ready to start your weight loss journey, we believe this diet will work great to get you started.
