So I thought I'd give NutriSystem a try. I ordered the food. I opened the food. I ate the food.
So after a week, here are my thoughts.
The food really isn't all that good, unless you've spent the last 20 years in a Hungarian prison. It certainly doesn't look like the packages, which I guess I should have guessed. But some of the things, like the nacho chips and the beef tips, are practically inedible. And they give me some utterly foul winds, if you know what I mean.
But before Marie Osmond throws me out of her 1977 fan club, let me say that it does have an upside. After eating that bland, horrible stuff, any real food just tastes like a slice of heaven. I haven't eaten so much salad - and enjoyed it - in a long time. It even helps at restaurants. We ate out at PF Chang, and I actually did pretty well. I ordered mushrooms and spicey string beans and a salad. Normally I order the General Fatty's Fried Lard. But even though I ordered the polar opposite, it was delicious.
Because the alternative was soooo bad...
