The Jenny Craig Critic-Find Out Why This Diet Does Not Work!

First off, why am I a credible Jenny Craig critic? Well, I feel I am already a much qualified Jenny Craig critic only because I tried the plan up until the gold membership stage. I am not saying that as a Jenny Craig critic, I will be giving expert advice nor am I saying what I say here will actually hold true to everyone. My role here as a Jenny Craig critic is that I will be delivering what happened to me in the best and in the most honest way that I can.

But first off, what is the Jenny Craig plan? According to their sire, the Jenny Craig plan is a weight maintenance program that will help you in three ways. One it will wean you off your usual unhealthy eating habits with the help of their prepackaged meals. Two it will encourage a healthier lifestyle tailor fit just for you by analyzing who you are and what level of activity do you have. Three, it will give you all the support you need through the counselors that you can either call over the phone or you can meet them weekly in your Jenny Craig local center.

These all look good when written but in actual experience, these things never delivered.

First, the food. This was a huge set back in terms of my budget as each week I shield out from $100-$150 just for my food alone. The Jenny Craig groceries had prices that were meant for people with the big bucks.

And the serving size? After eating one meal, instead of feeling full, you feel deprived and empty especially if you eat with your family. On the first week I ate with my family but when I noticed that I seem to feel sad and lonely after a few nights of seeing them eat heartily while I eat my “prison food” (that was what my husband called it), I started eating earlier than they did.

For items two and three of their “weight management or maintenance service,” Jenny Craig failed to deliver. My counselor knew practically zip about losing weight because she was a “living lollipop,” sort of like Calista Flockhart in Brothers and Sisters. She said I should eat this amount of calories and when I told her that the food she was selling me seemed too much, she turned a cold shoulder and said I had to eat everything or else I will fail. This was coming from a girl that seems to have never experienced moving two dress sizes up.

All in all, the entire program was a waste of my 5 months and hard earned dollars. I guess it took me a while to realize that because I wanted it to work. Sadly though, I failed. And as a Jenny Craig critic, I now have to say it was easy to mark Jenny Craig plan as a “DO NOT TRY.”

However, a month after this I discovered Fat Loss 4 Idiots and that greatly changed my life. Their tag line, lose “11 pounds in 9 days” is actually an understatement for me as I lost a great 12 pounds! And all it cost me was less than $70 for the entire program!
