Don't Like To Cook? Let Jenny Craig Do The Work

If you don't like to grocery shop, cook, or spend much time planning meals, prepared meal diets may be the way to meet your weight loss goals.

The Jenny Craig Diet is one of several diet plans in this prepared meals category. Among Jenny Craig's claims to fame is to take credit for celebrity Kirstie Alley's repeated dramatic weight losses (the most recent being 75 pounds). Whether Kirstie can maintain her current weight loss, and whether she does so by continuing to follow the Jenny Craig Diet, remains to be seen.

Once you sign up for one of the Jenny Craig diet plans you have access to a database with hundreds of meal choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You don't have to think about the calories or proportions of proteins and carbs--it's done for you. The newest plan, Jenny Craig YourStyle, claims to take dieting history, eating patterns, activity level, and goals into account to help you design a more personalized weight management plan that works best for you.

In addition, the Jenny Craig plan considers any food that is less than 25 calories as a “free food” that you can have at any point during the day (as long as you don't go overboard and have 20 of whatever it is).

Caveat: Although vegetarian menus are available, the Jenny Craig website states that none of the current Jenny Craig meals are kosher certified. The Jenny Craig plan doesn't leave you on your own; if you need lots of help and support for your weight loss efforts, you have it 24/7 by phone, online, and via regular meetings with a Jenny Craig consultant.

Jenny Craig focuses on helping you reach your short-term weight loss goals. When it comes to maintaining a healthy weight over time, you may need to take more responsibility. Part of the idea behind Jenny Craig is that eventually successful dieters will use the Jenny Craig meals as models for preparing more of their own meals as far as portion sizes and balanced food groups.
