To lose weight, men and women have different diet and exercise needs. Women need to be sure to choose a weight loss program that enables them to meet their health needs while they are reducing caloric intake. Before you start a new weight loss program, consult with your physician.
Nutrisystem Women's Plan
Nutrisystem is a weight loss plan that features pre-packaged low-calorie meals. Since you eat mostly the Nutrisystem food, there is no need to count calories, measure out portions or cut out carbohydrates. You sign up for 28 days worth of food, and the meals are delivered to your home. Each day, you consume a breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert from the Nutrisystem meal selections. The Women's Plan has meal options for seniors, diabetics and vegetarians. Food examples include cheese ravioli, chicken pasta parmesan, hearty beef stew, macaroni and cheese with beef, banana nut muffin, apple cinnamon oatmeal, crispy rice cereal, cheese puffs, chocolate chip cookie, honey mustard pretzel sticks and carrot cake.
