“On behalf of Nutrisystem and South Beach Diet, we are proud to be named as leaders in our industry by US News & World Report,” said Dawn Zier, President and CEO of Nutrisystem, Inc. “For more than 45 years, we have committed ourselves to helping millions transform their lives.

Both Nutrisystem and the South Beach Diet ranked in the top 5 of Best Commercial Diets while Nutrisystem also received recognition for its diabetes program as a Best Diet for Diabetes.

New for 2019 is the Nutrisystem FreshStart® program and the South Beach Diet Keto-Friendly program. Nutrisystem FreshStart® incorporates more fresh items and flexibility into its program, delivering safe and effective weight loss of up to 13 pounds in the first month, which provides a strong motivator for staying on the path to healthier living. The South Beach Diet Keto-Friendly program is designed to be a low-carb, high-fat dietary pattern consistent with a “keto” diet. This new program was inspired by the growing trend toward health-conscious consumers pursuing keto lifestyle and products, which have been associated with health benefits, weight loss and performance.

Across both brands, the Company offers safe, effective and scientifically-backed weight-loss plans, with a distinguished Science Advisory Board and strong clinical studies. All plans include comprehensive support and counseling options from trained weight-loss coaches, registered dietitians and certified diabetes educators available seven days a week from the Company’s award-winning contact center, as well as free digital apps that complement each plan. Nutrisystem also has select products available at retail.
