It was so good to get back to the routine of healthy eating and following the Nutrisystem D plan. I especially couldn’t wait to eat my favorite entree, Lasagne with Meat Sauce!
I thought I would share more about the D part of the plan I’m on. It stands for Diabetes and is the recommended plan for members with pre-diabetes or diabetes. With over 150 low-glycemic menu items I have plenty of options!
In addition to the usual member features to log food, water, exercise and more there’s a log for glucose readings. Every week there’s a dietician chat for all members but once a month there’s a chat with certified diabetes educators. Of course, I can speak with a counselor any day. This is all included!
What I Ate This Week
Every day I track food from my phone or computer. Here are some of the meals I had this past week.
I put off trying the Spicy Kung Pao noodles because I was afraid of the word “spicy”. They were just right and I loved them!
It’s great to have pastries and know they’re not filled with fat and sugar!
As I mentioned Friday, I was at a blog conference Friday afternoon through Saturday. I packed healthy snacks like almonds, string cheese, carrots and celery. I ate a Nutrisystem breakfast but had two dinners and one lunch out. I tracked everything and ate within my daily calorie range.
The bad news is that restaurant food is much saltier than what I eat on a daily basis so it did impact today’s weigh-in a bit.
Weekly Progress
I was down but not as much as I expected. I think it’s due to water retention from the restaurant dining. My rings are really tight this morning. I can guarantee you I’ll be down a pound tomorrow morning. 🙂
This isn’t a race and it will work out in the end with a bigger loss next week. See my week by week results below.

Eating out the day before weigh in always makes my loss lower (or non-existent) due to sodium. So, I think your loss was great.
