One Small Step for NutriSystem, One Giant Leap for Vegetarians
Becoming vegetarian did not cause me to become super thin. It did, however, help my body readjust and shape-up to carry the same amount of weight in a more flattering way. 
I find it hard to condone people going vegetarian simply to lose weight, as this is the wrong motivation to do anything. Plus, vegetarianism tends to have a negative affiliation with eating disorders which I fully intend to delve into later.
When I became vegetarian my belly flattened; but more importantly, I began to look and feel healthier.
That being said, I am not suggesting that you diet (you look fabulous just as you are, my darling!). What I am pointing out is that a step forward has been made for vegetarians in our quest to be recognized.
NutriSystem Nourish weight loss program has added an All-Vegetarian option. This is the first and “only prepackaged all-vegetarian weight loss plan available,” according to the NutriSystem Web site.
This is great news for vegetarians everywhere - regardless of whether you have interest in a weight loss program. Whenever I’ve seen an ad for such a company, bragging about how you can eat the same thing that you always do as they show plate after plate of animal meat, I’ve scoffed: “Really? I can eat what I still eat? Then why are you only offering chicken and fish?”
NutriSystem has thoroughly impressed me with their open-minded attempt to suit all customers. Many of the meals may not fulfill a vegan (i.e. scrambled eggs with veggie sausage crumble), but there are more than enough options if this is the route you decide to go.
Hmm … actually, having a delivery of apple cinnamon oatmeal for breakfast, black beans and rice for lunch, vegetable fajita (shown) for dinner, and almond biscotti for dessert … that might be worth the money, especially with 2 weeks of free food to begin!
