Top 5 Weight Loss Meal Plans and Supplements

What Foods Are Good for Weight Loss in Older Adults?

Just like it is harder to keep muscle on as we age, it is just as hard to keep the fat off. Most people do physical activity, but the best way? A diet. So, what foods are good for weight loss? Find out below!

1. Patriot Power Greens



While Patriot Power Greens don’t directly claim that their product can help with weight loss, this supplement does help you towards a healthier diet, which in turn will help with weight loss.

The Patriot Power Greens were originally developed to help veterans have more energy throughout the day. It was developed by a group of doctors and the product is now proven to not only increase energy, but it helps with:

  • Memory and cognition.
  • Digestion.
  • Joint inflammation.
  • Effects of aging.
  • Heart health.
  • Body detox.

The product is simple enough to use; all you have to do is scoop some out of the canister and mix it with water before you drink it. As their website says, in one drink you are getting the “health-boosting power of the 40 fruits and vegetables, 10 probiotic strains, and 6 digestive enzymes in each serving.”

2. ProLon Fast Bar and Diet Plan

ProLon is a company that is based on 20 years’ worth of scientific studies backed by the National Institutes of Health. The Fast Bar is just one of their products and it has been created as a breakfast supplement to help with weight loss through fasting and intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting consists of skipping one meal a day and eating your other two meals in a shorter time frame. It has been proven to help with weight loss. However, some people find it hard to skip a meal. That’s where the Fast Bar comes in.

The Fast Bar from ProLon can be eaten to make your stomach feel full while still making your body think it is fasting. The ProLon website states the Fast Bar “nourishes the body while keeping it in a fasting mode known as the Fasting Mimicking Diet® (FMD®).”

ProLon also offers a five-day Fasting Nutrition Plan. Just like the Fast Bar, their nutrition plan is another Fasting Mimicking Diet that allows you to eat but makes your body think it is fasting. This one you do for five days total and you can lose a significant amount of weight. Their website disclaimer states “In a clinical study, ProLon is shown over three cycles to help individuals lose an average of 5.7 lbs and 1.6 inches off their waist circumference. Individual Results May Vary.”

3. Jenny Craig Meals

Who hasn’t heard of Jenny Craig? The company has been around for decades, and they have helped millions of people lose weight and live healthier lifestyles. What is super convenient about Jenny Craig is that they offer premade meals that are delivered to you frozen. All you have to do is heat up the meals that you have purchased. How does this help you lose weight though?

Well, another way to lose weight is through portion control. It’s now a widely known fact that eating healthy foods isn’t the only key to losing weight; the other part of it is making sure you are not overeating. However, it can be hard to not overeat when you don’t have any of your meals prepared or planned. By not having your meals planned, you are allowing your stomach to take control of your brain and the next thing you know you are eating a bunch of things that aren’t healthy or you are eating too much food.

Jenny Craig meals eliminate this problem that so many people run into when trying to lose weight. Since your meals are all pre-planned, you don’t have to worry about overeating or eating something you shouldn’t.

4. Consti-Slim Capsules

Consti-Slim is a little bit different from the foods and programs we have already mentioned. This product is a capsule that you take twice a day, and it helps you to lose weight by clearing out waste that is sitting in your digestive system and intestines. This is waste that your body is unable to flush out, so it sits and contributes to added pounds in your body. This is a common problem, and so much so that people pay a lot of money for things like colon cleanses and colonics.

Consti-Slim eliminates the need for a colonic by clearing out this extra material for you. On top of this, it also helps to reduce toxins in your intestines that would normally cause irritation in your bowels.

5. Nutrisystem Meal Plans

Finally, Nutrisystem works similarly to Jenny Craig meals but they do something that Jenny Craig does not. This company sets you up with frozen meals at the beginning so that all of your meals are prepared. However, as you move through their program, they teach you how to make the meals yourself from fresh and healthy ingredients. They even provide you with a grocery shopping list.

This is very important because a lot of people may do fine when they have the meals already prepared for them but then have trouble making the meals themselves. With Nutrisystem, you don’t have this pitfall.
