Review of Jenny Craig

Jenny Craig, Inc. is one of the largest weight management service companies in the world. Jennie’s diet is about pre-packaged foods and portion-controlled weight loss.

Advantages:

Jenny Craig allows you to visit with a counselor. Large variety of prepackaged meals.  Jenny is more flexible on meal choices.

Disadvantages:

Jennie Craig allows you to visit with a counselor – although you may not know how qualified they are in nutrition.  Jenny Craig charges a membership fee (which requires signing a contract). As with all of the prepackaged food programs, usually food fatigue causes the client to leave the program.  Jenny Craig is low-calorie, junk food. Jenny makes no distinction between good “carbs” and bad “carbs.” The food again is not that healthy, only low calorie.

Long- term success:

No magic here.  You eat fewer calories with these prepackaged meals and then you lose weight.  The transition back to normal food can be a challenge.  Long-term success will be difficult without being a lifetime member and that means another monthly bill.
