Jenny Craig

Having tried every other diet (with the exception of GOLO which is a scam) I decided to give Jenny Craig a whirl. I was at my top weight and feeling sluggish and almost disabled by the pounds I have gained! Three weeks in I have lost 16 lbs, and this is very doable. The food is excellent and with a little tweaking (adding Zuchini noodles or cauliflower rice to meals to improve serving size) I am surprisingly satisfied by the portions. I had given up, but now have new hope. I appreciate the help and advice I have gotten from my coaches. You must be willing to prep veggies because the meals are small and somewhat boring if not, but overall I feel this will work for me.

I have just finished my second week of Jenny Craig diet food. During the first week, I began to notice tummy troubles, some cramping, and some bloating. I didn't mention it because I thought maybe it was just part of the weight loss process and adjusting to the highly processed foods. The second week it was really acute. As soon as I had the recharge bars and the first day of meals, I had severe abdominal cramps and wild diarrhea. I stopped the program for 3-4 days to calm my system down and yesterday I felt a lot better so I began the bars and meals again. Holy moly!

I was so gung-ho about losing weight, got a new scale, walked 2 miles a day, and paid $180 a week for Jenny Craig. After two weeks only lost 1.3 pounds. The coach was not very helpful and when I called for a refund I was denied. My advice to you is join a program that guarantees weight loss! Do not go with Jenny Craig. They’re only in it for the money!

When I was a JC client, I found some of the foods were not gut friendly. Some had artificial colorings and the sodium counts were sometimes too high. In addition, during one of our meetings I told the moderator that I'd measured the calories, by weight, and found that in some cases your daily intake was less than 1000 calories. Not a healthy sustainable plan.

The consultant I met with had lost forty pounds on the diet and that inspired me. I started with the Rapid Results and I loved some of the foods I thought I'd hate. Their Tuna fish salad, broccoli and cheese potato, chicken fettuccine, chicken fajitas, cheesy egg and bacon, sunshine sandwich, which is an English muffin with egg white and Canadian bacon were all delicious. The Beef Merlot is better than any steakhouse! The tuna salad I could eat every day, although it's not that filling. Just add lettuce leaves and you'll be really full. I found the bourbon beef a little chewy and preferred the cheeseburger. There are tons of foods to choose from! Be careful not to eat a week's worth of desserts in two days like I did. The chocolate lava cake rivals any Five Star restaurant. So enjoy that scenario because you can't dine out.

J Craig food MUCH BETTER THAN Nutrisystem. Both company's bars and shakes not good. Didn't get much out of consultation calls. Most of the food goes in to freezer so you need a lot of room there. Salad dressing were good.

The people at Jenny Craig were very very nice, patient supportive, not about pressuring a dieter. The weight loss counselors were respectful, which I feel is the most important thing. Even aside from how successful you were at your respective weight loss journey.

Y'all are great and am please to have a opportunity to be apart of the growth and or experiences the changes made in my life from eating healthy and look forward to a continuousness of eating healthy and changing my life as I watch the things I consume that's unhealthy.

I tried Jenny Craig for a year. I like that they work with your progress on a one-on-one basis 1x/week. All their food is delicious! The drawback for me aside from the high cost of the initial fee the food was expensive. I lost weight 1 - 2 lbs (sometimes), per week. I just didn't feel it came off fast enough. My mom joined with me and they her on on a lower calorie diet plan and she was more successful than me. I asked if I could go on her plan. They said it wasn't right for me of which I disagreed. After struggling with my weight loss feeling like they were stretching it out so I could keep going back, I stopped going.

I was hungry the entire time. The portions are tiny and the food was prepared so once you stop buying the food (which is expensive) you easily put the weight back on. There was very little personal touch. I purchased a 'lifetime' membership and they lost the paperwork and said I did not have it.
