Bing Names Nutrisystem Top Brand Among 2010 New Year's Resolutions Weight Loss Search Terms

FORT WASHINGTON, Pa., Jan. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nutrisystem, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTRI), the number one home delivery weight loss company, was ranked as the "most searched for" brand of the New Year's resolution's weight loss category by top search engine Bing. In the category of weight loss resolutions, Nutrisystem ranked number five overall, and the first brand name among such terms as "calories," "calorie counter," "bmi" and "fitness."   Bing reported weight loss as the most popular New Year's Resolutions search category in 2010, issuing its findings as an indicator for the top categories and terms of 2011.

"With the nation continuing to battle against the worsening obesity epidemic, it's no surprise that weight loss continues to rank as the top New Year's Resolution.  We've spent the past year conducting extensive research and all our findings indicate that consumers want to make positive diet and lifestyle changes and are looking for options that are cost-effective, convenient, proven to work and taste good," said Chris Terrill, Chief Marketing Officer of Nutrisystem.  "As the nation's number one home delivery weight loss company, we're dedicated to helping consumers achieve success and reach their weight loss goals. For the New Year, we've revamped our food program offerings to provide our best tasting, highest quality meal items in every plan and at the lowest cost in our company's history."

Earlier this week, Nutrisystem announced the revamp of its food program by incorporating its highest scoring, best tasting fresh frozen gourmet foods into all of its weight loss plans at the lowest price in the Company's history. The new Nutrisystem 28-day program will now include one third of frozen foods and two thirds of pantry foods.
