Nutrisystem Advanced

About the Program

The Nutrisystem Advanced plan is heart-healthy and helps control cravings and hunger even better than before.

In 2008 this program launched. Based on the original program with the "good carb" Glycemic Advantage™, the Advanced plan also includes Omegasol™.

Omegasol™ is heart healthy Omega 3 fatty acids and soluble fibers that create the feeling of fullness as well as promote heart health.

The Advanced entrees each contain 3 grams of OmegaSol, except for the Vegetarian Lunch Entrees.

You'll also receive a free results kit with each 28-day order that includes a personalized meal planner, Mindset Makeover™, and the online account and community guide.

The Mindset Makeover guide was created with the help of weight management expert Gary Foster, Ph.D. This helps you learn your eating habits and lifestyle. The 13 week guide helps you identify hunger, cravings, how to eat out, physical activity, and shopping for healthy foods.

Foods You Can Eat

Nutrisystem Advanced has an additional 60 new entrees, desserts and snacks added. Just like the original plan, you can get this plan in the Women's Program, Men's Program, Women's Silver Program, Men's Silver Program, Women's Type II Diabetic Program, Men's Type II Diabetic Program, and Vegetarian Program.
