This has got to be the BEST most thorough review of the 1st week on Nutrisystem. Great job! You guys are lots of fun too! Funny! "The cookies suck" LOL. I'm going to place my order tomorrow. Congratulations to you both on your weight loss.
Thanks and we hope you love it and it works well for you!
I have been scanning videos trying to decide if I want to try Nutrisystem. This was by far the most honest, entertaining and informative video I have watched. Thank you and bless your union🥰 You guys are great together.
I have done nutrisystem in the past and it definitely works. Starting again today. Andrea and the shakes was hilarious. Love watching your videos and subscribed.
I wish you the greatest luck and motivation with your nutrisystem adventure! I'm glad I could amuse you. - Andrea
I'm about to start NS and had done it blind years ago and super failed. This time I went searching for people who could show me what to expect. VEGGIE SHOPPING HERE I COME! Thanks yall!
You can do it! Let us know how it goes for you!
I've just started NS and chose to go with all frozen. The food is surprisingly good. We must remember that this isn't food from a five star restaurant but it is good. Everyone has different tastes so I think saying don't get this or that isn't a fair statement. I tried NS by buying a 7 day frozen plan from amazon to see if the food was good and it was. I don't like "shelf stable" food so that is why I went the frozen route, the box a month of food came in could hold a small child. It was a difficult fit for my freezer but I managed. I'm sticking with what the plan states not doing any add on's, etc. Good luck on your journey.
Good luck to you! 🍀 I just ordered a 22 day shelf stable kit from HSN (special value of the day) if it goes well I may spring for the frozen kit. 👍
Frozen was our preference, too. Good luck with it and let us know how it goes!
You guys are SO cute together!!
Congrats on the weight loss 👍
I’m thinking of starting this program, but would stick with mostly frozen foods!
Looking forward to seeing your reviews and results on week 2!
Thanks! I like to think we like each other! Still finding the motivation to put together the followup video.
Awesome thank you for documenting this
Yes new upload, love you guys!
The support honestly makes our day. Thanks so much for being here.
Thank you guys for this video because I was so lost on how to start my first week and you guys helped so much and the two of you is so honest with the taste of things so awesome again thank you both
We are thrilled we could help! We wish you great success!
I wasn't hungry on week one. I added a huge portion of salad or fresh veggies to every dinner. You should add veggies and extra broth (low-sodium) to the soups and chili, etc. which doubles the portion size. Learn to eat less salt and you will get used to it. The White Cheddar Mac & Cheese - add hot sauce and chicken as your added protein. Don't microwave everything - especially anything with bread. Toasting the buns separately from the burger or chicken is So much better. I stayed on NS for 7 months and lost 60 lbs. I maintained it for over a year and continued to blend NS with normal foods but eventually got bored with their products, especially as more and more of my favorites were phased out. It is a good program if you read their articles. It really gets you to understand proper portion size and I got better at substituting lower calorie foods. But, I always get bored if there isn't enough variety.
Congrats on your successes! You are right, Nutrisystem does encourage a portion of veggies with every meal, in every week except the first one. We also found using a toaster oven or air fryer helped too. Any program that works for you is a great program for sure!
Easily my favorite NS review video. Great job G&A.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You guys are hella cute, and your reactions are crackin me up. I just got my freezer box yesterday and began today. By midday I was ready to eat a small child. Instead, I added half a sweet potato to my dinner pocket and veggies and that worked. Love your channel.
Thanks so much! Keep it up! You can do it!
Congratulations! You both are doing good! I’m currently on Nutrisystem and very happy with the scale results. With the exception of the staple food entree items (do not like) my food preferences are the frozen breakfast, frozen lunch and frozen dinner entree choices. With the exception of the cookies, the bars and snacks are great. The Pistachio Biscottis great with a cup of tea. The frozen chocolate cupcake and the new chocolate and strawberry cheesecakes are delicious and so are the ice creams. I’m thinking on continuing ordering many of the deserts after reaching maintenance. About shakes: adding a teaspoon of instant coffee or a splash of real vanilla extract makes for great tasting shakes and helps with the protein aftertaste. Best luck to you and all on Nutrisystem! We can do it! Sonia - California
Thanks Sonia! We found we liked the frozen options best as well, but overall, decided not to continue on it.
I really appreciate this video and the tips. Thank you for documenting your journey!
I just bought the system but a la carte because I hate the shelf stable meals and most of the snacks. Will definitely be using the air fryer this go round. Oh- blending the shake with almond milk and a few berries or a 1/4 banana goes a long way 😀
That's a good tip! I finally found some shakes I do like... the premier protein strawberries and cream is my go to now a days!
The Cheese Puffs are fabulous!
I loved this! Can't thank you enough.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the full review. I noticed you only added some fresh vegetables did you avoid fresh fruits for a reason? And were you limited to what vegetables you could add? Glad to hear you both had good results from your week one. Hope you both continue to see good results!😁
We avoided fruits since they are high in sugars and calories. The Nutrisystem plan said to augment the meals with leafy (Non-starchy) vegetables, so that's what we did.
We had fantastic results and we're working on the week two video now.
Nice review,thank you for showing the food!
Our pleasure!
Thank you for the video it was so funny. I do understand what you were talking about. I'm almost done with the first week. I'll tell you the bean with the pasta was mushy and awlful tasting and that one I received 6, I hope I make it through it. You 2 were awesome, Thanks again!
You are most welcome
I really enjoyed your video. I did Nutrisystem many years ago & the food was horrible. It looks like it’s improved a lot. As soon as I can afford it I’m going to do it. I’m motivated but can’t afford right now. Btw the name of the cookies you were trying to think of was Snackwell.
Yes Snackwells! I hope you find much success on the system when you try it again!
Thank you! I just received my box of dry goods and started today. I'm still waiting for my frozen box to arrive. Hopefully, it will come soon. Until then I guess I will just use what I have. I am really enjoying your videos! Thank you! You are such an adorable couple!
Thank you for watching and we wish you great success!
Thanks for sharing. I know it took alot of work to film and edit. Great video very informative.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for convincing me NOT to use Nutrisystem. And thank you for making me realize I needed to move more. Now walking an hour five times a week and lifting weights four days a week. I'm doing intermittant fasting now. Thanks!!!!
That's so awesome to hear! We are so grateful that we were able to help you come up with a plan. Good luck! You've got this!
You young folks are too cute!❤ Wishing you the best as we all
tread the road of happy, healthy destiny!
Thanks so much! We're trucking along that road, and we wish you the best as well!
Glad you did a review. I am on WW and eat way more food then the both of you did and have lost over -50 lbs on WW. I am not usually crazy about shelve food or frozen meals very picky about them but glad it worked for the two of you. I am not crazy about cereal bars they never fill me up. I eat a lot of veggies but never want to be hungry. I ❤️ you guys. Thanks for sharing.
I agree, the portion sizes are terribly small in week 1. In week 2 you are supposed to add to it. Congrats on your successes so far. I really liked WW too
💙
Well guys Im never laughend so hard . You both make it look like so much fun ....Keep it real love ya
Glad we could bring a laugh into your day!
I loved your review.
Why Thank you!
Thank you
I think this is German, but translating doesn't help much.
Waaaaaa love the Majora's Mask reference lol
Great video!
Thanks!
Great Vids! Wish you had more . FYI there is a Sugar free ketchup. Tastes great! thank you.
There will be more, we are putting them together currently.
You don't have to do week 1, you can start the program right away.
Thanks for this detailed review. I start tomorrow and I know I’m going to HATE the chocolate shake too!
Those darn shakes lol
Nope, that chocolate shake is DEELICIOUS!!!
The chocolate shakes are awesome
Good Video. I did this last year for 3 months. Lost 20 lbs. Gained it back. Getting ready to get back on the horse again.... wish me luck!
You got this! All the luck and well wishes sent your way. - Andrea
Lol 😅you guys are funny 😂 Year later are you still using nutrisystem?
I’ve always liked the NS food. People who think it’s disgusting have obviously never eaten 1980’s era MREs in the military! Also, the Kung Pao noodles are amazing over steamed broccolli !! Good luck, it works if you stick with it!!!
Ha ha I can honestly say I have not ever had a 1980s MRE! But we agree for sure, if it works for you, stick with it!
Oh, I never put bread or meat in the microwave to cook and I'm not about to start now. Those hot pocket things are pretty tasty when you put them in the oven. The directions are on the package.
You are soooo right!
I read if you heat the bars up for 20 seconds it’s amazing
That is interesting advice. I still have some. I may try this!
Do you add anything To your green beans before “ frying”
Yes! Just salt, pepper and garlic along with just a touch of olive oil.
how much salad are you allow to have it looks like a big bowl..I'm thinking about joining I need to lose weight also.
you both are super cute.. congratulations on your journey.
For the veggies, it's pretty much all you can eat. it's the dressing, cheese, etc that'll getcha.
try making your shake in a blender with some ice added in. It helps tremendously.
Thanks for the tip! I will try that sometime!
Have you stopped doing the nutrisystem program? Inquiring minds want to know!
Hello! No we have not stopped the nutrisystem yet, though we did hit pause over the holiday weekend. We still have two more weeks of foods from them Togo before we decide to keep it or try something else.
👍😂😂😂
I’m on Jenny Craig, I recommend it.
That is one we haven't tried yet, but maybe we should
How much does it cost?
That first box was about 800 for the two of us, but it was the all inclusive option.
Maybe add some garlic powder to the quick Mac and broccoli.
Absolutely!
Did you get any protein? It looks like mostly junk food.
Its all protein for the most part, and of course there were the daily shakes.
You guys are cute!
Why smell everything, it goes bye taste?
Why not? Its part of taste, isn't it?
Smell and taste are two different things, if you don’t like the smell before you taste then you may mentally not like the taste if the smell is bad but we are all different people.
The cookies are much better warmed a few seconds
Definitely no chefs choice, I can't have a bar as a meal, thats a snack to me haha
Haha I thought that too! A bar as a meal doesnt work well for me most of the time, but for whatever reason it was fine for Breakfast.
Lemon > Red Velvet, every time.
Agreed
Garen, you did it great but your mom was complaining all the time. The chocolate muffin is the most sold item. Everybody love it!! Your mom won't lose weight on this program.
Haha ouch, I (Andrea) am not his mother, I am his wife, and he's 4 years older than me. Ido however think you are right, I wasn't a fan of a lot of the items in week 1. I did find I enjoyed more of the frozen foods in week 2.
Garen’s mom (my mom) never tried nutra system before she died. However, she was pretty darn successful at everything she put her hands on. So I call BS on that prediction, even if we have no way to prove you wrong.
Didn’t anyone tell you not to treat parents poorly? Yours or anyone else’s?
@@GarenAndrea I'm sorry!!!!! You are right... The first week is terrible but the most successful !
@@GarenAndrea I know I’m late to the comment section but there is no way you look older than him. You guys totally look the same age and I can completely tell you are husband and wife. Good luck on your journey!
You should check on getting larger teeth on top. You are a very beautiful lady.
You make a valid point. I have had this set a very long time and I think they are very worn down.
chew gum
If you have the chef's plan and the top of the line meal plan, here is the first 28 days laid out for you.

No need to figure things out if you have taken the chef plan.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
