New study finds major differences in the costs of the nation’s leading diet weight loss programs
The research considered the overall costs for each program including registration fees, weekly/monthly fees, renewal fees, counseling fees, online fees, pre-packaged food costs, grocery store costs, and recommended supplement costs. The study also specifically reviewed food costs such as pre-packaged foods, supplements and grocery items such as produce, meat and dairy as recommended by each program.
The
analysis found that the NutriSystem Advanced Women’s Program, using the
commonly used auto-delivery option, had the lowest overall monthly
program costs. According to the study, NutriSystem’s monthly costs for
pre-packaged food were $293.72 and $198.40 for supplemental grocery
store food items such as fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy and grains for a total
monthly cost of $492.12. NutriSystem does not charge any fees for
membership, counseling, newsletters, e-classes or access to their
community site.
The nationwide increase in grocery prices of produce, meats, dairy and grains has had a significant impact on overall monthly costs. Using the GroceryGuide.com website to search for specific food and product items as well as grocery or other coupons can bring dramatic savings to the consumer.
