Lately we’ve all been hearing a lot about the Jenny Craig diet plan. The new spokeswoman for Jenny Craig, Kirstie Alley, fought her weight loss battle with the whole nation watching. But just how effective is Jenny Craig? Like many diet plans, you have to become a member, which involves paying an initial membership fee, plus monthly dues, and even buying food and meal plans from them, if this is what the plan includes. Not all of us have that type of expendable cash; there’s always good old-fashioned diet and exercise.

So I did some checking on just what Jenny Craig 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, as well as increase your physical activity. Some of the benefits the online Jenny Craig 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 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.

As with any diet and fitness program, it helps if you have support, like a diet buddy, because sometimes you just can’t do it alone. It’s true that if you workout with a friend and compare notes throughout your program, you are more likely to reach your weight loss goal successfully in a shorter period of time than if you had tried on your own. 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 just have to bring in their latest creation to share with everyone, because they know 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.

Maybe you can join Jenny Craig with a friend or family member? It seems to be a healthy alternative to some of the diet plans out there. There’s online support as well, and an online tracking system so you can see your progress. Go ahead, call Jenny.
