The second article is from Chase Freedom Diet Reviews, which points out that "Jenny Craig is more expensive with the food compared to other programs," but otherwise gives it a good review.
What caught my eye of course was the "more expensive with the food."
If you join Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig or any similar program, it's going to cost you money which you don't need to spend!
Losing weight is common sense! You don't need to buy prepackaged food put out by Jenny Criag - learn how to prepare your own! There's any number of books on the market which show you how to create "delicious but low calories meals." I personally think "delicious" and "low calorie" don't go together, but then I do have a someonewhat unusual diet - (beef or chicken and potatoes for me, and only a few vegetables!)
As I repeat over and over in this blog, it's really just a matter of portion control, and of course, eliminating or at least curbing the late night snacking.
You will not be able to lose weight, or maintain your new weight, until you can control your appetite and eliminate late night sweets, and be satisfied with carrots or even a light salad instead.
Lose weight gradually, and you will be able to keep it off. Rapid weight loss typically results in rapid weight re-gain.
But I share with you these two articles on Jenny Craig. Make up your own mind.
Jenny Craig Catching Massive Media Attention-Weight Loss Community Stunned
Los Angeles, Ca-
Jenny Craig weight loss systems has been getting a lot of attention in the news media recently for their constantly evolving diet program which users are calling the most effective diet system on the market today.
The name Jenny Craig is synonymous with standardized low calorie meals, loyal client support networks, and of course, rapid results for its clients. It is a household name that first pioneered the weight loss industry back in the 1980's, and it has continued its decades of success by providing diet solutions that give unprecedented results for its users.
According to a recent study by Women's Fitness Magazine, people trust Jenny Craig more than any other diet program on the market. Perhaps it's because of their stellar reputation in the diet industry, or perhaps it's because many notable Hollywood stars have used the program with success. Whatever the reason, Jenny Craig is raising eyebrows in the weight loss community, and clients are lining up in record numbers to become part of the movement.
Past users say that while using Jenny Craig they were able to lose 2 to 16 times more weight than they were with other dieting systems. They are also able to keep the weight off for much longer because Jenny Craig shows them how to remain thin as a permanent change to their lifestyle.
This is perhaps the biggest difference between Jenny Craig and other weight loss systems; not only do they show their clients how to lose weight quickly and easily, but they teach them how to keep it off well after they have left the program. In fact, Jenny Craig's main goal is to help people become independent of them- a characteristic quite unique among diet programs.
Jenny Craig also gives their clients unyielding support during every phase of their weight loss journey. For Barbara Davidson, it is Jenny Craig's support structure that separates it from all other dieting systems: My weight loss consultant was absolutely phenomenal. It really felt like a team' dynamic, and since leaving the program I still keep in touch with her. I am still at my target weight and I have Jenny Craig, my consultant Sarah, and of course myself to thank for that.
This sentiment seems to be shared by all those who have used the Jenny Craig system. More than being a way to lose weight, it invites clients to become part of their family- Perhaps that is the main reason for its many decades of continued success.
Jenny Craig Review from Chasefreedom.com
Jenny Craig is one of the true icons of commercial weight loss. The fundamentals of the program have not really changed over the years, but they do offer different plans and continue to refresh their pitch. All Jenny Craig membership options are offered "In-Centre" at any one of their 650+ physical locations or over the phone through their "At-Home" Program. They also offer specific programs for Men, Teens, older people (Silver) and those with Type 2 Diabetes. Each require the purchase of Jenny's Cuisine, which averages $11-$15 per day in the US and slightly higher outside the US. Basic program fees start at $6/week.
Jenny Craig is a reduced calorie diet that focuses on balanced nutrition (60 %-carbs 20%-fat 20%-protein) which follows the Food Guide Pyramid, the near-universal recommendation of health care and nutritional professionals. Jenny Craig meals consist of 1200-2000 calories/day, which gives you a lot of leeway in determining just how aggressive your approach is. The Jenny Craig approach is fundamentally a meal delivery program of pre-packaged meals, exercise and personal counseling. The primary focus of these counseling sessions is teaching a healthy relationship with food and behavior modification, which includes living a more active lifestyle. No commercial weight loss program puts more emphasis on the personal interaction between dieter and support personnel. Exercise is actively encouraged, but no specific exercise regimen is advocated.
The key to success on Jenny Craig is the transitional period where the client goes from pre-packaged to regular, prepared meals. But, unlike most meal delivery programs, Jenny Craig actually plans for your transition away from their products. That's unique in the diet industry.
As to whether consumption of pre-packaged meals is a good strategy: they are extremely helpful in dealing with controlling portion-size, and are invaluable in your mental battle with food. It's really hard to make good, disciplined choices when you're confused and used to eating anything and everything you like.
The worst that can be said about pre-packaged meals is that they often fail to prepare the dieter for food preparation and life once the diet ends. Learning the proper habits, which are essential for long-term success, takes a back seat to short-term weight loss goals. Weight loss programs succeed or fail based on a general transition to healthier eating and a long-term increase in activity level.
Jenny Craig is more expensive with the food compared to other programs and the advertising tends to be a bit over-the-top, but it does focus on the things that are most important.
