Accountability and True Lifestyle Change In addition to the Personalized Health Counseling and on-going support during your program, you will continue to have access to our health and wellness lending library, community wellness workshops including educational handouts, and monthly email newsletters to support your personal growth. Lifestyle Change - None. To be successful you just follow the program and eat the meals sent to your home. To quote James, a Nutri-System operator, in response to my maintenance plan question, "If they go back to their same old habits, it's not our fault!" Lifestyle Change could be possible with the continued maintenance program as you learn to cook your own meals. However, resuming old habits could sabotage your best effort. Ex: Kirstie Alley Slim-Fast offers community support and a weight-loss tracking tool but does not offer a long term solution for lifestyle change.
