Q: Do you have a weekend off program? What types of meals do you have? I am interested in a 4-week program. Two of us would join if the price is right.

A: Jenny Craig does not explicitly offer a weekends off option. However, should you decide to sign up for the Jenny Craig program, your program director will work with you to create a fully customized plan based on your goals, needs, and lifestyle. The Jenny Craig program is flexible enough to allow you to prepare your own meals and eat at restaurants, so if you prefer not to eat prepackaged Jenny's Cuisine meals on the weekends, that could be incorporated in your customized plan. Jenny Craig does not automatically reship food, so if you do not actually use your entire four week supply within four week, it shouldn't cause any problems.

Jenny Craig offers more than 80 meals and snacks, which are chosen specifically to meet your weight loss goals, with calorie levels ranging from 1,200 to 2,300 calories per day. Jenny's Cuisine is low in fat and cholesterol, and high in fiber. Meals are packaged into single portions, to help you learn to properly regulate portion sizes. With the Jenny Craig program, you'll be eating three Jenny's Cusine meals and one Jenny's Cuisine snack every day, as well as fresh fruit, vegetables, and other grocery store additions. Meal and snack options include cookies, cake, meatloaf, macaroni and cheese, and even cheesecake. You'll have the freedom to create your own menu or rely on preplanned menus.
