If you are an overweight man looking for a way to lose weight with a minimum of cooking and counting calories, a Jenny Craig diet may be worth considering. Jenny Craig offers various programs for men, and delivers prepared balanced meals that you get to select. Talk to your doctor before starting any diet program for weight loss.
Program Overview
Jenny Craig is a diet delivery program for weight loss. Options for Jenny Craig diets for men include the regular program for men, the Silver Program for older men, a vegetarian program and a program for men with type 2 diabetes. You check in with a Jenny Craig counselor each week, either face-to-face at a Jenny Craig clinic, or over the telephone. Your counselor helps you develop your meal plan, learn the Jenny Craig curriculum for healthy eating and exercise, and assess your weight loss progress and goals.
Benefits
Jenny Craig claims it can help you lose about 1 to 2 lbs. per week without counting calories or carbohydrates. If you are a man who never learned how to cook, Jenny Craig for men may be able to help you gradually develop the skills you need for preparing healthy meals. You begin to lose weight from eating Jenny Craig meals nearly every day. As you lose weight, the program increases the number of days each week that you cook for yourself. You learn how to make healthy recipes so that you can maintain your goal weight even after you stop the diet.
Foods
On days that you eat Jenny Craig foods, you get a prepared breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack or dessert. Jenny Craig points out that you can splurge on the diet for men, and some indulgent foods you can eat are spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, fish and chips and chocolate cake. Your meal plan will recommend foods that you purchase from the grocery store to supplement Jenny Craig meals. These may include whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products. You order your Jenny Craig meals at your weekly session with your counselor.
