The Downfalls of Packaged Diets

With the increasing demand for用餐套件送货服务,毫不奇怪,所有减肥计划,体重观察者的母亲正在西海岸进行自己的餐饮服务。注册,您可以将一盒新鲜的饭菜送到您的门口,准备进餐。

You can’t argue with the convenience of pre-portioned, calorie-controlled meals. However, the packaged food offered by plans like Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem isn’t as healthy as it may seem. Although most meals are low in sodium, many are surprisingly too low in calories to sustain you and contain questionable ingredients.

MyFitnessPal交谈Keri Gans,RDN,《小变化饮食》的作者,佐治亚州圆形,RD,以对五个最热的减肥计划发表意见。他们的反馈可能会说服您自己给自己healthy meal planninga shot first.

Slimfast

“这我们不搬过去?”甘斯说。是的,它的s a bit hard to believe this program is still around, but it is. Each day you replace two meals with formulated shakes, eat three of their 100-calories snacks, and enjoy a 500-calorie meal, typically dinner.

甘斯和圆形都批评了该计划的基础。原始版本含有18至19克糖,原始营养奶昔都包含三氯蔗糖。“如果您每天在零食上消耗两次摇动,那是很多不必要的糖,” Rounder说。“加上这些饮料似乎在营养上没有平衡。”

底线:缺乏蔬菜和水果,可能太低的卡路里计数以及奶昔中的高度加工成分和糖,使我们的RDS犹豫不决地推荐Slimfast。

营养系统

对营养系统的敬意,可增加全谷物并减少食物中的人造甜味剂和染料。饭菜也往往是high in fiber,这有助于饱腹感。最后,Nutrisystem鼓励追随者每天在包装的早餐,午餐,晚餐和三种小吃中添加低血糖 - 含量碳水化合物,蛋白质和非淀粉蔬菜。

好事,因为我们的RD对这些餐的卡路里很少表示关注。“几种餐点大约是150卡路里。这太低了,以至于无法被视为一顿饭。” Rounder说。“这可能导致以后的渴望或深夜零食如果您白天不满意。”

再加上他们的一些“餐点”并不是甘斯会鼓励她的客户吃饭。“他们建议早餐肉桂卷。这不是我希望有人吃早餐的方式。”她说。“他们说午餐是他们的酒吧之一。酒吧是小吃。”

底线:甘斯说:“我不喜欢的最大事情是,它们比什么都更专注于卡路里。”如果您尝试此计划,请务必在餐点中添加其他成分,否则您可能吃得不够。

JENNY CRAIG

与营养系统类似,珍妮·克雷格(Jenny Craig)的节食者每天吃六次,可以在饭菜中加入新鲜食物(在这种情况下)。圆形指出,大多数餐都有大量蛋白质,大约15-20 grams, which can help you feel more full.

但是饭菜是纤维和卡路里的淡淡-so light on calories that some items labeled as snacks and desserts have the same calorie count as those labeled as meals, Rounder points out.

And while snacks can have lots ofadded sugar-something nobody needs more of-餐通常添加调味料。“为什么用牛肉添加牛肉味?这似乎与我看到某人准备的一切似乎很遥远。”甘斯说。

底线:Some of the meals are “too far out of kitchen,” Gans says, and most have too few calories on their own to fuel your daily activity.

HMR

HMR是另一个饮食计划,将液体和固体与每天三餐和两顿饭相结合,再加上五种或更多的水果和蔬菜。

甘斯说,农产品是“总是积极的”。但是,让我们谈谈这些奶昔和饭菜。“这些产品具有很多人造甜味剂,增稠剂和牙龈,使它们具有更理想的一致性,” Rounder说。“而且,有些奶昔有阿斯巴甜,这令人震惊,他们仍然使用它,因为它得到了不良的代表。”

Even the chicken soup, which sounds healthy, contains no actual chicken, she adds. There’s “chicken fat” and “chicken flavor,” as well as whey protein concentrate and hydrolyzed protein, but no bird. “Our bodies are not meant to digest these proteins,” Rounder says. “Real soup with real chicken is much healthier and more natural.”

底线:尽管有些饭菜是可以接受的,但“那里有很多更健康的选择,”甘斯说。

小酒馆医学博士

Co-founded by a bariatric doctor and her husband, Bistro MD has registered dietitians who review each weekly plan and entree to ensure they meet certain nutritional requirements. The plans provide 1,100 to 1,400 calories, divided into three meals and 2–3小吃。

Gans and Rounder both applaud the ingredients in these foods. “Almost every ingredient, you can identify what it is,” Rounder says. However, our RDs also say 1,100 calories is too little. “You need at least 1,200 calories to support yourself to physically do the daily activities of living and to make sure you’re getting enough vitamins and minerals,” Rounder says.

底线:This is probably the closest of the bunch to real food, but watch that you’re eating enough. Don’t skip the snacks thinking less is more. You’ll only starve yourself.
