The Jenny Craig
Diet started up in
the early 1980s and it
has been going strong
ever since. Now, with
actress Kirstie Alley as
their spokesperson, this
program is enjoying huge
popularity. Her face is
seen on their television
commercials, posters and
her picture is
everywhere in each one
of the Jenny Craig
centers. The message is,
if she can do it, you
can too! Kirstie Alley
has made the program
sound and looks easy and
fun, and in some ways it
can be easier than other
diets, but not everyone
will love it.
In all of the ads for
Jenny Craig, they
advertise the low cost
of joining the program.
It can cost you as
little as just $6
dollars per week! That
is much cheaper than a
lot of other diet
programs, but what they
don’t tell you, (or what
they do tell you in a
fast-talking voice at
the end of the
commercial!) is that the
food costs extra – a lot
extra! Jenny Craig’s
pre-packaged foods can
run up as high as $100
per week, making this
diet one of the most
expensive diets
available today.
The same foods that come
pre-packaged in this
program are also
available in any grocery
store, so there is that
option open to you. It
will still cost you
money, but probably
nowhere near $100 a
week! However, there can
be a lot of pressure to
buy and eat only the
pre-packaged meals, as
your personal Jenny
Craig diet expert
receives a percentage of
the sale price if you
do. This pressure can be
hard on some people who
like the program, but
still want to save
money. On the other
hand, if you have the
money for it and you do
not have the time or the
desire to cook, the
Jenny Craig Diet
could be just right for
you. While it doesn’t
offer group support and
encouragement like
Weight Watchers for
example, Jenny Craig
does have a good support
system. When you join,
you are assigned to your
very own Jenny Craig
expert, and they are
there to help you
through the tough times.
You can call and talk to
them for things like
questions on how much of
a certain food you can
eat, for problems with
the program or for tips
on exercise.
This program is one of
the oldest and longest
running diets on the
market today, so it
cannot be accused of
being a fad diet, or
just the latest craze.
Because of its long life
and success, it has
proved to be a diet that
works. However, before
turning over your
hard-earned money to
them, take a look at
your budget and make
sure that you can afford
to be on the Jenny
Craig Diet. Also, as
with any diet, make sure
you are ready and
willing to stay with it
for the long haul. No
matter what anyone tells
you, losing weight is
not an easy thing to do,
but as long as you have
the willpower and
determination, you can
do it.
