I ate it because I needed to, but I was curious does anyone know if cinnamon is an ok extra? It's not on the "grocery list" you can obtain on their site, but I can't rationalize why it wouldn't be in the same category as mustard, or cumin.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Yes it is fine to have cinnamon. I have been Nutrisystem for 7 weeks and I have to say I absolutely love it! I have lost 12 pounds. I am on the Uniquely Yours plan which is a 28 day plan that includes your choice of frozen or pantry foods. It is very affordable if you use the Costco gift cards which are regularly 79.99 for a 100.00 card. But, they go on sale occasionally for 59.99. You can order them from the Costco website and then use them to pay for your Nutrisystem plan.
I enjoy the convenience, the variety and the fact that I do not have to count, weigh or measure. The only thing you have to "figure" are your smart carbs and power fuels, which are pretty easy.
I have tried many different diets....Southbeach, Weight Watchers, counting calories, low carb, etc.... I was successful on SB several years ago, lost 30 pounds, quit smoking and gained 40. I think SB and WW are two of the healthiest and well balanced plans out there. But for myself because of years of yo yo dieting I am experiencing diet burn out. Which is why I think NS is working so well for me.
Anyway, I hope something I said is helpful for you or others. Basically, the best plan (balanced eating equal) is the plan you will stick to.
Good luck on your journey
