Welcome to healthcare magic. Your weight loss program should have two components- exercise program and diet modifications. Without exercise, your weight loss will not be sustainable. The products you have mentioned are standard brands and should take of nutritional supplements. I dont see any special reason to shift to amway products. But the best thing would be to add enough fruits (3 servings), salads to your diet. As you reduce your calorie intake , your mineral and vitamin requirements aren't met. Also ensure your protein intake is adequate. Eggs , fish, chicken, mutton,cheese,paneer, soya, mushrooms, pulses and lentils are good sources of proteins. Drink lot of water too.
