NutriSystem Select is a new offering that improves the taste and increases menu choices by including fresh frozen foods from the Schwans food delivery service. When you sign up for NutriSystem Select you get 28-35 menu items (depending if you are a man or a woman) that you eat in addition to the regular "ready to go" entrees. This appears to be a very good move for the company, and it allows people to add more fresh foods to their meals.

NutriSystem Select FAQ:
When Will NutriSystem Select Be Available?
The product has just launched in February of 2009 and is available now.
What Foods Are Available On NutriSystem Select?
There seems to be a very big selection of foods available through Schwan's "Live Smart" product line. One big problem with the old NutriSystem line is that they made you buy your own fruits and vegetables and the new Select program allows you to order everything you need once. Makes it easier to eat healthier. And the added cost is probably mitigated because you no longer have to buy a ton of extras to make it a healthy meal.
How Expensive Is NutriSystem Select In Comparison To Jenny Craig or Other Meal Delivery Services?
According to a recent Forbes Magazine story, NutriSystem was the cheapest of any diet out there when you analyzed all the costs of buying food, going to meetings, buying extras, equipment like blenders.

Does NutriSystem For Men Now Include An Option To Do Select?
Yes, if you are a man, woman or a senior you can opt into the select program. Men pay a little more, I would assume because they get more calories a day and will eat more food.

How Can I Find A Coupon, Coupon Code Or A Discount For NutriSystem Select?

What Is The Cost Of NutriSystem Select In Comparison To Buying Your Own Groceries?
I am sure that one could buy a great amount of healthy frozen foods for cheaper, but what you are paying for is the convenience and the knowledge that you are on a program with a certain expectation. Over time ideally you will start buying bags of frozen spinach and broccoli every time you go to the store. But keep in mind that even with the higher price of NutriSystem select you probably will not spend a ton more than you already are.
Does NutriSystem Offer Select Or Advanced Especially For Athletes Or Other Very Active People?
We need to look into this. Men already get a higher caloric intake and obviously if you are burning more calories you need to eat a little more. One thing we observe is that higher quality foods such as fruits and vegetables will give one more energy as a general rule. There is great micronutrient and phytochemical concentration.
Does NutriSystem Really Help You Lose Weight?
We observe that the company has been very successful in the past in helping people lose weight, especially in the short term. But what the company lacked was a focus on high levels of fruits and vegetables which are critical to getting people off the food addiction cycle. So Select will probably improve the ability of NutriSystem to lose weight. For permanent weight loss and the odds of the best health possible one will have to graduate to a nutritional approach like the one pioneered and advocated by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. But NutriSystem is an excellent first step, especially for people who have not been successful getting started.
Do NutriSystem Select Meals Have Fewer Preservatives?
It would seem that by freezing foods you are able to keep them fresh for a long time without preservatives which increase one's overall toxic load.
Should One Join The Select Program Instead Of One Of The Legacy Programs?
Based on everything we have observed in the last 4 years running PEERtrainer, we feel very strongly that if NutriSystem is a solution for your particular needs, you should definitely pick this plan over the other ones. No question.
What is the Favorites Package?
The NutriSystem Favorites Package, gives you a pre-selected assortment of their most popular ready-to-go menu items for each meal occasion. If you’d like to try the wide array of NutriSystem foods, this may be a good choice for your first order (versus choosing your own foods). Once you’ve tried the NutriSystem favorites, you can always customize your ready-to-go items in any subsequent orders.
The company has spent a lot of effort building support groups on their site. This is a fundamental aspect of their program now. PEERtrainer has also started a NutriSystem Select Weight Loss Support Group for the members of the site who end up choosing this program as part of their overall weight loss efforts.

I have been on Medifast and have also been on Nutrisystem. I lost on both. I recently went back to Nutrisystem because of the new variety of foods they have. I am liking it alot! The food quality has improved greatly since 2006. Medifast is heavy on the shakes. I needed something more substantial, and Nutrisystem fits the bill. The food fills you up. I highly recommend Nutrisystem. I also started walking 1 hour per day. I'm working on a whole new lifestyle and am quite pleased with myself:)))
