5-Day Weight Loss Program

Each 28-day shipment includes 80 meals and snacks — breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack for five days a week — plus flex meal guidance for the meal occasions you're eating on your own. We do recommend planning your flex meals and snacks throughout the week. Every meal is dietitian-approved and ready in minutes.

Because real weeks aren't uniform. There's the client lunch, the birthday dinner, the Sunday someone else cooks. The 5-Day plan gives you structure for most of the week and guidance for the rest, so you get practice at the meals that are hardest to navigate — the ones out, the ones with other people — rather than saving your flexibility for two days off.

80 meals and snacks every 28 days: four items a day, five days a week. The remaining meals are yours, spread through the week wherever you need them.

Both are Wellina weight-loss programs, structured differently. Nutrisystem provides meals five days a week over 28 days, leaving two days flexible with guidance on the meals you eat out. Jenny Craig provides all your meals for two weeks at once — premium food, everything handled. Choose Nutrisystem if you want structure built around a real week; Jenny Craig if you want the decisions made for you.

When it comes to the number on the scale, the Nutrisystem program is designed to deliver weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds per week. This is considered healthy and sustainable weight loss, which is exactly what we want. However, general science says that even losing a half a pound per week is good!

Typically, weight loss is quicker in the beginning as the body adjusts to reduced calories. Over time, your body wants to fight back.

Remember, our bodies like to stay in balance and that can make it more challenging to lose weight the longer you are on the program. That doesn’t mean you should give up or that the program isn’t working anymore. That’s exactly what your body wants you to think! It just means you recognize it and need to make some adjustments.

Results vary based on starting weight and program adherence.
