Full Review: |
Jenny Craig differs from the other diet services reviewed on
NextAdvisor.com by emphasizing personalized consultations and face to
face support. While most other meal delivery diet programs focus
primarily on the food itself, perhaps also offering various tools and
resources to help you reach your diet goals, Jenny Craig places equal
focus on food, body and mind.
First, you will meet privately with a consultant at one of over 650 local Jenny Craig centers for a discussion of your current lifestyle and weight loss goals, as well as an initial weigh-in. Your consultant will work with you to customize the most effective plan to help you reach your goals. If you prefer more privacy and convenience, you can choose the Jenny Direct program and speak to your consultant over the phone. Each week, you will return to your local Jenny Craig center to meet with your consultant, who will help motivate you, overcome challenges and track your progress. You will also pick up your Jenny Cuisine meals at these meetings. If you choose the Jenny Direct option, you will have weekly phone support from your consultant, and your Jenny's Cuisine meals will be shipped to you via FedEx every two or four weeks, depending on your preference. If you do choose the Jenny Direct program, there will be a shipping fee. Initially, your diet will consist of three Jenny's Cuisine meals and one snack every day, plus your own groceries, such as fresh fruit and vegetables. You can customize your weekly menus based on your preferences. Your consultant will help you develop a personalized, staged approach to physical fitness, as well, consisting of a combination of natural, everyday activities, playful activities and planned exercise. Your physical fitness plan will intensify as you work toward your weight loss goals, in order to help you burn more calories. As you progress through the program, your consultant will help you learn to create your own menus and meals, and you will eventually begin to gradually integrate your own meals into your diet. Your consultant will also help you learn to make healthy choices at restaurants. By the time you have reached your goal weight, you'll have developed a better relationship with food and learned to plan and prepare your own balanced meals. You can then transition to maintenance support, which will help you sustain your new, healthier lifestyle. You will still have access to online support to help keep you on track. If you are looking for a comprehensive support system to help you establish a healthier lifestyle overall, Jenny Craig may be perfect for you. |
