Haute Body: Jenny Craig Introduction...
When the prestigious diet Jenny Craig got in touch agreeing to supply me with two weeks worth of diet food (breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for each day) I thought all my Christmasses had come at once, as I'd been wanting to have a healthier diet after Christmas which I didn't have to spend hours cooking for.
Here is what the fab brand says about themselves:
'Jenny Craig, Inc. was founded in Australia in 1983 by weight loss experts Jenny and Sidney Craig, who sought to establish ‘a company that would incorporate all the necessary benefits of successful weight management’. Jenny Craig opened its first nine Weight Loss Centres in Melbourne, all of which still stand today.
Today, Jenny Craig, Inc. is one of the largest weight-management service companies in the world, with company-owned and franchised Operations in the US, UK, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Puerto Rico. It is now part of the Nestlé Group.
Over the past 25 years, we've helped millions of people worldwide learn how to eat a nutritious diet that includes many of their favourite foods, increase their energy level through simple activity, and build more balance into their lives for optimal weight loss and well-being.'
What I love most about this diet (apart from the fact that it is reasonably priced diet food delivered to your door) is that the food looks and tastes delicious! I'm a couple of days into the diet now and I haven't been hungry once, plus even my chocolate cravings are satiated with the chocolate wafer and white-chocolate chip cereal snack bars.
So let's get down to business shall we? Each day on the Jenny Craig diet costs a bargainous £11 and this includes one breakfast, one snack, one lunch and one dinner. Also included in the price is a twice weekly call from an encouraging consultant (mine is called Leanne and she's absolutely lovely!), a 'support guide' for any further questions and a grocery list which enables you to encorporate your favorite foods (in moderation of course...) into your weekly menu. Good value for money? Definitely, especially when you consider that you could lose up to three pounds in weight per week, if a moderate exercise routine is included.
I will be posting another few posts on this fab diet so keep your eyes peeled for those soon! I'll do some pictures of the actual food, a review of the service and an evaluation post also, so if you have any interest in a diet that really works, you'll know where to come :)
All questions welcome in the comments section of this video (as ever) but if you have anything urgent you just need to know, then check on the Jenny Craig website as it's such an informative page that you're sure to find your answers there:

I just want to say a great big thank you to everyone on the Jenny Craig team that I've dealt with so far... Luise, James and Leanne have been fantastic taking my calls whenever I've needed them and not grumbled one bit when my questions have been stupid (how was I to know that I could swap my days around if necessary...?)

wow the food in ur vid looks reeeeally good! Lots of variety and actually is real food rather then powders and shakes! I cant wait to see how you get on with this!x
ReplyDeleteMe too! I don't expect a huge weight-loss as it is supposed to be more like on of those kind of 'lifestyle' diets which you're supposed to do for ages and 'gradually and healthily' lose weight. However, there's nothing wrong with that so hopefully I will feel fab even if I don't see huge immediate results... Stay tuned for some Food Porn ;)

I'm so jealous - would love to try JC but on my student budget, £11 a day really isn't that 'bargainous' unfortunately. So good that it's a 'proper food' diet though - all sounds YUMMY! What's the "moderate exercise" routine like, i.e. how moderate is moderate haha? Looking forward to seeing your results on this. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm on a student budget too but I've always worked between one and four jobs at a time at uni so I can afford delicious food... like, I don't go out much but I love to be able to splurge on yummy foods, so I guess in comparison to the Tesco Finest and Waitrose I was buying last year (and I was eating out a lot too) this is quite reasonably priced!
DeleteIt's just like standard ready meals really except more delicious and better for you. They're really easy to cook, you just add veg and they keep you full for ages too.
Moderate to me (and James from Jenny Craig) is about 3 hours a week. However, this doesn't have to be like, 3 hours of aerobics a week lol. Like, I walk a lot to and from uni and that adds up. Plus I go pole dancing once a week for an hour and also work on my feet for four hours a week at one of my jobs before traipsing the shopping centre for about an hour also, so it all adds up :)
Hope that helps, and thanks for reading. Stay tuned for my next Jenny Craig post.
Love
