Can You Eat Dessert Every Day On Nutrisystem's Basic Favorites Program?

Without any doubt, I believe that your ability to eat sweets and desserts is a big draw to the Nutrisystem diet. Not many diets allow this on any type of regular basis. People sometimes ask me if you're allowed to eat a dessert every day on this diet or if this is just limited to weekends or special occasions. The diet is set up so that you eat three entrées per day (including breakfast, lunch and dinner plus side items that you add in yourself) as well as a dessert or snack. Now, you can certainly chose desserts each day and forego the snack if you prefer sweets to salty things. If you do not want any snacks but only want desserts, you could chose to customize your menu instead of going with the favorites menu which includes samples of some of the most popular items in your package.

For example, if you take a look at the desserts that are included in the women's core or basic plan, you'll see that they've included 20 servings of various desserts and 10 servings of snacks. So this gives you more dessert options than snack options and enough desserts for twenty days. Also, keep in mind that many of the breakfast items could also be used as a dessert. Examples are the apple strudel, the chocolate donuts, and the cinnamon rolls to name only a few. So even if you went with the favorites menu rather than customizing your own, you could probably still tweak the menu enough to come up with enough options to have a dessert every day. Or, if you'd prefer, you can customize your choices and handpick a dessert for each day.

But to answer the question posed, yes, you could theoretically have a dessert every day if you chose to have sweets instead of snacks. The diet is set up so that you can have a snack or a dessert each and every day (and this is on top of breakfast, lunch, and dinner.) I thought that I would be one of the people who wanted sweets on a regular basis. But once I tried some of the snacks, I found that it was nice to have the option of something salty or crunchy sometimes also. Everyone is different, but I find that there are so many sweet options for breakfast, that sometimes it is nice to opt for a snack occasionally to have a change of pace.
