Myth: Nutrisystem is just another fad diet.

  Fad diets tend to appear out of nowhere, gain a lot of sudden popularity, then fade back into obscurity once people realize they're not all that. Admittedly, they sometimes help people to lose the weight they desire, but that weight loss is ultimately short lived.
  
  Another trademark of fad diets is that they often leave out essential nutrients—sometimes entire food groups—that the body needs to stay healthy. So you may lose the weight, but at what cost to your health?
  
  So, does this sound like Nutrisystem? Absolutely not! In case you haven't been paying attention, we're celebrating our 40th anniversary this year. That's right; we've been helping people lose weight and live healthier for 40 years. Does that sound like a fad to you? While other diets have come and gone, Nutrisystem has remained. Why? Because it's the real deal.
  
  And nutritionally, our food recommendations are based on a sound foundation of healthy eating. So unlike some of those diets where you'll eat nothing but cabbage, eat only blue foods, eat only foods that begin with the letter z, etc., Nutrisystem leaves nothing out. We tell you exactly what you need to lose weight, while ensuring that you're getting the nutrients your body needs.
  
  Nutrisystem, a fad diet? Hardly. We'll still be helping people lose weight when many of the real fad diets out there have gone the way of the Pet Rock.
