7 in 7 Tips for Success
- Load up your plate with Non-Starchy Vegetables: They make a great snack if you’re hungry and can bulk up any Nutrisystem meal.
- Enjoy zero-calorie beverages like black coffee, unsweetened tea and flavored seltzer water. Aim for at least 64 ounces (8 cups) of fluids daily.
- Free Foods are allowed on 7 in 7: Add unlimited flavor to your meals and veggies with spices, herbs, lemon juice, hot sauce, vinegar and more.
- Try to limit your physical activity during 7 in 7. This gives your body time to adjust.
- Space your meals and snacks 2-4 hours apart.
- Hearty Inspirations® meals are not recommended during this first week.
- If you are on a 5-day plan that includes Flex meals, we recommend that you prepare your Flex meals at home this first week rather than eating out. This will allow you to better manage portions and overall nutrition.
