Guys are competitive. Doesn't matter if it s sports, cars, the ladies, whatever. They're competitive in weight loss, too.

"The NutriSystem Glycemic Advantage™ was the edge I needed to get back to the old me." Hey. I'm a big guy. And I'm known as a big eater. Now that's important, because on NutriSystem you can eat real food and still lose weight. And they use this thing called the Glycemic Advantage. Now I'm no scientist, but it's like this amazing nutritional breakthrough for losing weight. You see, the folks at NutriSystem separate "good carbs" from "bad carbs" in their foods, so you eat can carbs and still lose weight. Now I have to tell you, I come from a family that loves to eat. And” I love eating those carbs pizza, pasta, lasagna-you name it. So even when I worked out, I was still packing on the pounds. That was part of the problem. But going on NutriSystem changed all that. I was able to eat real food and got to lose weight. No liquids. No rabbit food. No juices or powders. No dying of starvation.
