There was a time when people had to go to diet centers to get their pre-made diet foods. Now several diet companies are making their meals available through home delivery. Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig’s new program Jenny Direct, Deliciously Yours, and Medifast all deliver their foods to you. The diet companies make it easy for you to set up delivery.

Nutrisystem foods can be ordered over the phone, although this can take some time, or online. Once you have ordered, the boxes will be shipped to you by way of ground services such as FedEx or UPS. They will come in 4 to 10 days from the time of your order. The delivery driver will carry your boxes to your door.

All you have to do is to carry your Nutrisystem boxes inside where you can unpack them. They are fairly easy to lift, the biggest usually being no bigger than a rectangular laundry basket and fairly light. The convenience makes the diet worth thinking about seriously.

Nutrisystem also has an auto-delivery plan which allows you to set up delivery so that you can order ahead of time and have the package delivered when the appropriate time has passed. You can change your order at any time before it ships by logging on to the Nutrisystem website.

Jenny Craig has their new Jenny Direct plan, which brings food to your home as well. You have to order through your consultant, but basically the procedure is the same as the Nutrisystem standard shipping. You can order from Jenny Direct for two or four week supplies. The order will arrive by FedEx in 2 to 3 business days. The other main difference is that this program does not auto-ship, but rather requires you to reorder at the proper intervals.

Deliciously Yours delivers your meals weekly instead of sending them for longer periods like Nutrisystem and Jenny Direct do. They cold pack the meals after they have been planned by nutritionists and prepared by chefs. Then they are shipped directly to you, fresh and ready to heat up to serve.

The Medifast program offers different shipping options, depending on your order. All of the orders are processed quickly, within the first day. They are shipped the following day, but standard shipping takes about 5 to 7 days. If you want to pay about $10, you can get expedited shipping and get your meals in about 3 to 4 business days.

Medifast also has special deals for certain customers. If you are a V.I.P. member, you get free standard shipping whenever you place an order for $200 or more worth of meals. If you are not a V.I.P. member, you can get half-price shipping with $275 orders.

All of these diet plans make prepared meals convenient for you. Nutrisystem, Jenny Direct, Deliciously Your, and Medifast are each happy to send you their diet foods to get you started on your program. You only have to decide which, if any, of these diets is right for you.

You will get your pre-packaged diet foods in anywhere from a week’s to a month’s supply. After you receive your packages, you will have to find a way to store your foods. The storage methods are different for the various diets.

1. Refrigeration may or may not be necessary. Diet plans like Nutrasystem do not have refrigerated meals at all. Jenny Direct has many meals that are have a long shelf life at room temperature. Medifast meals are also shelf-friendly with no refrigeration needed. Deliciously Yours, from eDiets, delivers freshly made foods that do need refrigeration.

2. The freezer is sometimes used. While Nutrasystem foods and Medifast meal replacements are never frozen, some diet foods are. There are some Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers meals that you can buy frozen and heat in the microwave.

3. You might want to organize your foods by meal types. The Nutrasystem packaging is color-coded so that all the main meals are the same color; all the snacks are the same color, and so on. Jenny Direct meals can also be sorted by meal type and put into your cupboard or pantry.

If you buy frozen Jenny Craig meals, it might be more difficult to keep them organized. The Deliciously Yours foods only come by the week, so there is little need to organize them.

4. Set aside a particular part of your cabinets, pantry, refrigerator, or freezer just for your diet foods. Put your Nutrasystem, Jenny Direct, Medifast, or Deliciously Yours foods in certain places where you will go to look for them. You will be less likely to stumble onto something unhealthier.

5. If more that one person is on the diet, keep their foods separate. This is especially important with the diets like Jenny Craig, Nutrasystem, and Medifast that come in a large supply. Getting your foods all mixed in together defeats the purpose of having an individualized plan. Sometimes it is best to put the different people’s foods in totally separate parts of the kitchen.

6. When you get a new supply of food, pull the old supply to the front. This is particularly important with weekly fresh food diets like Deliciously Yours, which may have a shorter shelf life. However, Nutrasystem and Jenny Direct foods can get out of date as well, especially if they are constantly being shoved to the back of the cabinet.

When you put away your pre-packaged diet foods, you are setting yourself up for failure or success. Try to think about the best way to store your supplies, no matter what diet you are on. The Nutrasystem, Jenny Direct, Medifast, and Deliciously Yours diets all need to be stored correctly.

Pre-packaged diet meals are anything but ordinary. You may love them or find them to be less than appealing. The truth is that you will probably feel strongly about them one way or another. Before you plunge into a diet plan like Nutrasystem, Jenny Direct, or Deliciously Yours, you might want to take a look at their menus.

Breakfasts:

There are Nutrasystem breakfasts for many different tastes. Several different types of cold and hot cereals are available, to be eaten with nonfat milk. There are several different types of breakfast bars if you like to eat breakfast on the run. For a more traditional take on the morning meal, try egg scrambles, frittatas, or pancakes. There are even pastry mixes such as scones and muffins on the Nutrasystem menu.

Jenny Direct has many of the same diet breakfasts as the Nutrasystem program. To go along with the usual fare of cereals, bars, and traditional breakfast meals, Jenny Direct has some other options. They have breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches.

Deliciously Yours, from eDiets, has only a few breakfast items. Some of them are traditional, such as cold and hot cereals or muffins. This diet also has some interesting morning treats like peanut butter English muffins and apple raspberry muffins.

Lunches:

The Nutrasystem lunches are primarily soups and meal bars. If you prefer, you can have pasta or chicken dishes. There are about 20 different options for lunch, but it is not an extremely interesting meal.

Jenny Direct has several different kinds of sandwiches, pasta meals, chicken salads, and soups. They also give you appetizing options such as pizza, burritos, and chili. There is also beef chow mein or cheese enchilada. This menu is a bit more varied than Nutrasystem.

Deliciously Yours offers a more gourmet variety of lunches, although they fit into some of the same categories. They are just a little more dressed up. There are also deli sandwiches, stir fry meals, pasta meals, and several interesting entrees.

Dinners:

Nutrisystem has a large variety of dinner entrees. There are pizza, chili, tacos, and barbecue meals. You might like ravioli, rotini, or pasta primavera. You would probably expect to find chicken meals on the menu. What you might be surprised to find on Nutrasystem and others is the meat dishes like pot roast and meatloaf.

Jenny Direct has some well-spiced meals, such as Cajun chicken and sausage, mesquite chicken, and chicken carbonara. There are also several barbecue meals, southwestern meals, and Asian offerings.

Deliciously Yours has the most extravagant styles of food among the diets. They are not excessive in their amounts or their caloric values. What they are is well-made gourmet meals. You pay extra, but it might be worth it to you to get meals like orange chipotle chicken, roasted pork loin, basil chicken or spaghetti and meatballs. With this diet, you get the side dishes right along with the meals.

No matter what prepackaged diet you decide to do, check out their menu before you buy in to the plan. Nutrasystem, Jenny Direct, and Deliciously Yours all have different styles of menus. You have to find the one that suits your tastes the best.

You have probably heard the expression “six pack abs” on many occasions. It may have been shortened to simply “six pack.” However, the meaning is still the same. This expression refers to having a lean, flat, muscular stomach, and both men and women seem to want it. The real question to answer is whether this is even possible for everyone.

Some books and DVDs with exercise regimens that will promise you anything will say that there is no reason that anyone who is willing to work can’t have this muscular midsection. This is not necessarily true. The truth is that six pack abs are a bit harder to attain than these money makers would have you believe. These are really a pre-cellulite phenomenon. People in their teens and 20’s can achieve this, but it gets harder as you get older, as there is more subcutaneous body. However, if you have the right genetics and follow a strict program, you may have a shot at it, even if you are in your 30’s or 40’s.

It is a bit more difficult for women to be able to sport six pack abs. A female’s body stores more fat than men because they are made for bearing and nourishing babies. It is also true that men usually lose weight faster when they are exercising regularly. Experts have found that it can even be a bit unhealthy for women to lower their body fat enough to have abs this lean, as it can even stop their menstrual cycles.

It may be better to not aim for such extreme results, but there are some very important reasons to work on your midsection. The abdominal core muscles make the torso stronger, create better posture, help reduce lower back pain, and lessen the risk of injury. Abdominal workouts can also make other areas of the body more fit, and help you if you play different sports, or engage in running exercise.

So, even though you may not be meant to have six pack abs, there is no reason that you cannot indulge in a bit of abdominal training. You can still make your stomach flatter and tighter with proper nutrition and a good exercise program. It is a wise idea to look into several of these programs before choosing one to try. If you are able, speak to a professional trainer who should be able to help you choose and implement just the right abdominal work out for you.

Weight loss diet plans come in all kinds of packages. Some are low-fat, high carb. Some are high-protein, with little or no carbs at all. Some require that you eat a strange combination of foods. When you think about the Nutrisystem diet, consider how it stacks up with some of the others.

1. A good, healthy diet will have plenty of variety in fresh fruits and vegetables. Many diets do well in this category. Nutrisystem itself encourages dieters to eat about 4 cups of fruits and vegetables a day. They plan for you to eat a lot of salad, including fat-free salad dressings in with their meals.

Weight Watchers gives values to all the fruit and vegetables and leaves it up to you as to how many you will eat. While this may seem haphazard, it really works if the dieter stays with it. The reason is that eating small amounts of high point foods will leave them hungrier than eating a lot of lower point foods like fruits and vegetables. Over time, they will switch to a healthier way of eating. The weekly meetings encourage this.

The Sonoma Diet has healthy fruits and vegetables, but the emphasis is on eating smaller portions of everything. This does not give these colorful food groups the boost they need in the diets of most overweight people. However, some of the top ten power foods in the diet are vegetables and fruits.

2. A healthy diet has high quality carbohydrates. Nutrisystem is making its theme the good carbs and bad carbs idea. They have very few menu items that are fast-acting carbohydrates, although the regular Nutrisystem diet does have some desserts with 12 or more grams of sugar. If you prefer not to have these desserts, you can do the diabetes diet from Nutrisystem.

Here again, Weight Watchers depends on the points system to encourage people to go for the healthier carbohydrates. They cost fewer points, so dieters can eat more of them. The support system focuses on getting people to make healthy carb choices.

The Sonoma recommends a Mediterranean style diet that includes whole grains. In fact, whole grains are considered one of the top ten power foods of the Sonoma Diet. Wine can be considered a carbohydrate, and the Sonoma diet permits it. It is not considered to be a good carb by most diets, but it does have some health benefits.

3. You need protein to make a diet complete. The Nutrisystem program includes lean meats and dairy to take care of protein needs. Some of the entrees are based on soy protein rather than meat. If you want your meals ready to eat, the Nutrisystem diet makes getting your protein fairly easy.

Weight Watchers has a point system for proteins as well. It is much less complicated than some of their other point system values. Lean meats, fish, and soy are all acceptable within the Weight Watchers diet. There is no guessing about how much protein you will eat. It is a set amount every day.

The Sonoma Diet does not highlight meats or other proteins as the main features of their plan. No protein food is among their ten power foods. Yet, the Sonoma Diet is all about enjoying food rather than avoiding particular foods. You will not have to give up all meats on this diet.

Nutrisystem has all the healthy components of a good diet. There are a few unfortunate slips, such as the sugar in some of their desserts. Some other diets, like the Sonoma Diet, are more focused on taste than this diet is. However, the Nutrisystem shapes up fairly well along with these other diets.

Any time you ever go on a diet or exercise program, you are always told to consult with a doctor first. Many people consider this an obligatory warning solely meant to cover the company in case of lawsuits. However, there are at least six questions you can ask your doctor about a pre-packaged diet program such as Nutrasystem, Jenny Craig, or Deliciously Yours to find out more before you start.

1. Do you have any experience with this diet in your practice? You might be surprised to learn that the doctor has many stories to tell you about patients who have previously tried the diet. Whether they have failed or succeeded, news of their experiences can be valuable to you.

2. Do I have any dietary needs that will interfere with my going on the diet? Let your doctor tell you any problems he believes will keep you off the program. If you have any doubts about the diet, consult the website, as Nutrasystem and Deliciously Yours give good information about some conditions.

Then, if you are still interested in the diet, talk to one of the registered dieticians if you are considering Nutrasystem, or a nutrition counselor for Jenny Craig. You might get information about how that particular need is dealt with through special dietary choices. You can take the information back to the doctor and see if she decides that the diet can work for you after all.

3. Am I limited in the amount of activity I can do while on the diet? Most likely your doctor will encourage you to get out and move around as much as possible. Yet, there are some cases where the doctor might say that it is better if you stay away from strenuous activities, at least until you have dropped some weight.

You might be given a particular exercise program to adhere to during and after your time on the diet. Check with the Nutrasystem and Jenny Craig for the complete details of their exercise programs. Since the Deliciously Yours exercise program is administered through eDiets, check with them for that diet.

4. How often do I need to come in for a doctor visit while I am on the diet? Some doctors may suggest that you come in more frequently throughout the diet, especially if you have certain illnesses. Some will make appointments for you to come in more often towards the beginning and goal fulfillment of your diet program. There are other doctors that will not see the need to change your doctor visit routine at all.

5. What will happen to me if I do not lose weight with Nutrasystem, Jenny Craig, or Deliciously Yours? Some people need to develop a drive to succeed at weight loss. That drive can come from knowing that your health is in danger if you do not take steps to get healthier. Your doctor might tell you that you are likely to develop diabetes, high blood pressure, or many other sorts of diseases. It is best to know the possibilities so that you can work hard to prevent them.

6. How will I benefit if I do lose the weight? You might find out that your blood pressure would get lower, your back would stop aching, or your feet would stop swelling. Whatever you learn, it can give you more motivation to stay on your diet plan for as long as it takes to lose the weight.

A talk with your doctor can make you more determined to succeed at losing all the weight you need to reach your goal. It is best to get your doctor’s approval before going on any diet such as Nutrasystem, Jenny Craig, or Deliciously Yours. Your doctor’s support can help you to do your best.

For long term success with any diet, you will probably need to change at least some of your behaviors. Pre-packaged diet programs like Nutrasystem, Jenny Craig, and Medifast offer you a way to do this. All you need to know is how to work with the program.

The guide provided by Nutrasystem helps you learn new ways of behaving in a 13-week course. This is enough time to fully understand all of the concepts given about weight management. If your program will last longer than that, it is a good idea to go over the program continually until you have reached your goal weight. This helps you to be prepared when you go from the pre-packaged Nutrasystem foods to grocery store foods.

One of the topics covered in the Nutrasystem course is how to identify what kind of hunger you are feeling. You can also learn strategies for eating in restaurants or at parties. One of the most important things you will learn about behavior is how to do healthy food shopping. The Nutrasystem program is available to teach you new behaviors about how to get more movement into your life.

The Jenny Craig diet program counts on its diet consultants to teach you new ways of dealing with food and fitness issues. Their counselors are said to go through training in facilitating the important skills you need in order to get to and maintain a healthy weight.

As you go through your diet, you can learn from the Jenny Craig portion sizes about how much you should be eating. You can also take notes from the exercise program as to how much you should be exercising and moving around on a regular basis. With Jenny Craig, you are either in the hands of a consultant, or you are basically on your own. There is little self-education information provided.

With Medifast, you are encouraged to keep using the product even after you have reached your goal weight. The idea is that you can use the Medifast for protein with your regular meals. Another option is to continue to use these meal replacements 2 or 3 times a day to maintain your weight.

Therefore, in the case of Medifast, you bring back regular foods gradually, but you never really go off the pre-packaged diet completely. Meanwhile, you can always continue with the exercises and activities you have begun while you were on the program full-time. There is less of a harsh transition because the whole diet plan is not changing.

You can change your lifestyle during the time you are on a pre-packaged diet. What is more, you can continue those changes beyond the time of your goal completion. The way you accomplish this will depend on whether you have been on the Nutrasystem, Jenny Craig, Medifast, or some other diet program.

Many of the pre-packaged weight loss diet meals are very healthy for the average person. Yet certain individuals have special dietary needs. Some have allergies, while others have medical conditions that require them to eat or avoid certain foods. For some special circumstances the diets can be adjusted.

Some pre-made weight loss meals come as they are. Deliciously Yours meals are nutritious and appetizing for most people. However, there is a warning right on the website that states the inappropriateness of the diet for certain people. It is not recommended that people with diabetes go on this diet, for example.

Diet programs like Nutrisystem work with the client to customize a plan if there is a problem. You can begin by looking at ingredients on the website to find out if you will be getting anything you are allergic to in the foods you wish to purchase.

If it seems too difficult to decipher, you can discuss your problem with a nutritionist at the Nutrisystem Company. This diet program expressly declares that anyone with a peanut allergy of any level of severity should not go on the Nutrisystem diet.

Nutrisystem also has a special diet for diabetics that is extremely low in sugar, and a vegetarian diet for those who do not eat meat. These diets help with certain special issues and they are backed up by nutritional advice.

Medifast also has the Medifast Plus diet for diabetes. Unlike most pre-packaged diet plans, this program has been tested in scientific studies. The results were that the Medifast diet helped more people reduce or eliminate their need for diabetes type II medications than the usual diabetes diet did.

There are also Medifast Plus Diets for joint health, women’s health, and coronary health. These versions of the diet are specifically formulated to help with the dietary problems associated with these health issues.

Most of the meals in the Medifast plans contain soy, dairy, and whey. If any of these foods is a problem, the diet might not be right for you. The Medifast Company is very upfront about what conditions people might have that would prevent them from taking the diet plan. Be sure to read this information carefully before you make your decision to purchase.

Sometimes, a pre-packaged diet company will work with you to help you overcome your dietary problems that would prevent you from being on the diet. Nutrisystem offers this service. Other companies, like Medifast and Deliciously Yours, make it plain when their diet is not suitable for your medical needs. If you are lucky, you will find a diet specifically geared to helping your particular dietary requirements.
