For over 25 years Jenny Craig has been helping men lose weight and throughout this time they have used the ‘Jen4Men’ strategies; and now they have started really openly talking about them to reach more men and help inspire them into lifestyle changes that will help them reach and maintain a healthy weight – without sacrificing all the foods they love.
Australian actor Shane Jacobson began the Jen4Men program in January and has already shed a spare tyre! In 11 weeks he has managed to lose an impressive 10kgs.
Originally his goal was 15kgs but after having reached the first 10 so quickly he has decided to extend the goal out to 20kgs and after only 11 weeks is already halfway. Shane says “Originally I was going to lose 15 kilograms because that’s all I thought I could lose. But once I started on the program, I’ve found it just gets easier and easier.”
A reality check from his doctor had Shane turning to Jenny Craig to get fit and healthy. He is already well on his way to improving his wellbeing and according to his doctor he now has a higher chance of living longer.
With the help of his Jenny Craig consultant Shane is learning about eating in a better style; what, when and how much you can eat so that he doesn’t have to give up the foods he loves. The difference it is making to Shane’s life is so much further reaching than just his weight and how he looks, it’s about the extra energy he has throughout the day and the ability to leap out of bed in the morning.
Amy Smith is the Jenny Craig Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand and this is what she said about the success Shane is having with the program: “I feel remarkably proud of Shane for doing so well on his journey so far, and extending his goal. He is a great inspiration to fellow Aussie males who perhaps have some weight to lose and need help to do it properly.”
To work in conjunction with Jenny Craig’s Jen4Men is the new initiative Mates in Every State, aiming to build Australia’s biggest ever weight loss support network for men. Shane is urging Australian men to take the leap and join him on his journey with Mates in Every State. “Everyone deserves to live a long and healthy life, so I encourage my mates across every Australian state to join me and commit to a healthier lifestyle,” said Shane.
And who wouldn’t want to get with this program, some of the foods Shane still has to choose from are chicken parmigianas and pies, chocolate puddings and pavlovas. Every Jenny Craig client receives a tailored menu, one that is suitable for their personal weight loss needs.
There are over 70 delicious meals and snacks to choose from in the extensive menus and all are made with the highest quality ingredients to meet strict nutritional guidelines. The menus are designed with modern Australian eating habits in mind, by Accredited Practising Dietitians.
They offer variety, moderation and a balance of nutrients. Jenny Craig clients are also recommended an appropriate exercise timetable which fits their individual lifestyle. To view the entire menu range please see: www.jennycraig.com.au

I devour books, vampires and supernatural creatures are my genre of choice but over the past couple of years, I have broadened my horizons considerably. In a nutshell – I love to write! I love interacting with a diverse range of artists to bring you interviews. Perhaps we were perfect before – I LOVE WORDS!
