The Jenny Craig diet plan is another commercial weight loss system that continues to get heavy TV advertising to this day. (That means someone will be paying for that exposure.) The question is, does the expense of this diet plan live up to the results? Here's a look.
Basics
The Jenny Craig diet plan calls for you to visit one of their weight loss centers and meet with your own personal weight loss consultant. It's no different in that regard than Weight Watchers or some of the other diet plans.
After talking with a consultant you will be put on a low calorie diet plan that is suitable for your body type and weight loss goals.
The food menu calls for foods that you purchase from Jenny Craig and therein lays the catch with this program. More on that in a minute.
The Jenny Craig plan is like others in that it is a low fat, low carbs and high protein plan like so many other popular diet plans.
You will meet with your consultant every week while on the plan and they also have an online forum to discuss everything to do with weight loss.
Costs
The Jenny Craig diet plan is not inexpensive. While there are several choices as far as plans go. You can expect to pay $25-$50 for your initial 6 week period.
As you can imagine, buying your Jenny Craig food can also get expensive. For one person you can expect to pay something in the range of $100-$150 a week. You can buy the food right at the center you attend.
The Verdict
While you can lose weight with Jenny Craig the costs are very expensive to continue with month after month. There are many other diet plans that will give you success at a more reasonable cost.
