Jenny Craig Weight Loss

The Jenny Craig weight loss plan has been in the news quite a bit lately. The latest spokeswoman for Jenny Craig, Kirstie Alley, fought her weight loss battle with the whole nation watching. But simply how successful is the Jenny Craig weight loss plan?

Like numerous diet plans, you have to become a member, which involves paying an initial membership fee plus monthly dues. And, according to which plan you follow, you will also be buying food and meal plans from them. If you don't have that kind of expendable cash, as I don't, then there's invariably the good old-fashioned diet and exercise weight loss method.

Anyway I did a bit of checking on just what the Jenny Craig weight loss plan has to offer. This program claims that it allows you to personalize the program to fit your lifestyle, not personalize your life to fit the program. This is good, but you still have to have motivation and be able to choose healthier foods. You also need to increase your physical activity.

One of the big benefits that the online Jenny Craig weight loss plan has to offer is access to meal planning and hundreds of healthy low-fat low-carb meals just for signing up for a free account. If you don't have time to cook and have extra money to spend, you can purchase a complete meal sampler, available with or without meat, for $21.99, which includes snacks, the main course, a handbook, menu planner, discount coupons, and a Jenny Craig lunch bag.

You can also purchase Jenny Craig weight loss cookbooks, and exercise related materials, such as audio and video work out tapes among other items. There is also a section on the website where you can sign up for a free consultation, just put in your contact information and a Jenny Craig representative will call.

Like any diet and fitness program, it helps if you have support. A diet buddy can be a great access because many of us just don't have the will power to do it alone. Also, it's true that if you workout with a friend and compare notes all through your program, you are more likely to reach your weight loss goals successfully in a shorter period of time than if you had tried on your own.

It's not that you can't do it alone, but there is a lot of temptation out there and it's hard to keep saying "no". Your family may be tempting you with dining out, and then there are those cooks at the office that simply have to bring in their latest creation to share with everyone, because they understand that if they left it at home, they would eat it all. It can be hard to turn your head and look the other way all the time.
