We have seen lots of pre-packaged diets such as Nutrisystem, Atkins and Jenny Craig that have made their mark on the weight loss industry. They are everywhere on the tv and the newspapers and epically on the internet.
They have been 'proven' to provide those fantastic results everyone is looking for. They have been 'known' to guarantee you to lose something like 80 pounds in 2 weeks. As great as it sounds, the results and their claims themselves are horribly inaccurate.
You would have to deprive yourself of food altogether for these fads to work as they claim. An interesting point is, part of the weight may be muscle tissue. The digestive system can consume protein out of your own body!
Diets that are per-packaged can mislead you in many different ways. As an example, Nutrisystem claims an average price per meal, but it is still eating out everyday. I don't need to tell you that this always ends up costing you a fortune.
Nutrisystem advertise a cost per meal of around $3. This rises to $7 a day for the women's program which comes to over $200 per month. An that's the base price! You can add as much as you want for the real cost and the base cost may rise without them telling you.
A lot of these programs charge automatically from your credit card, which can leave you out of pocket when you if yo forget to cancel. You see the ads all the time, but take notice of the fine print. The extravagant claims of losing 40 pounds are for the whole program, and they come with the disclaimer "Results not typical"!
So do not become a victim of these inflated claims as they are probably untrue or taking the example of the extreme cases who managed to lose a lot of weight, but are the exception. Of course it is possible to lose 40 pounds, but in most situations you will most likely lose less than a quarter of that. They do not promise you anything and blame you if the system does not work.
For 40 pounds at the same rate, you're paying $800. Do NOT do that to yourself. Stick to what you know and remember that those one shot deals that 'give' results really don't give anything but debt and a lack of results. If anything, those are scams. Nearly everyone who buys into those schemes either has lots of money or will fall short in the end product. Don't assume that you're part of few that actually takes something out of the programs. - 16003
