Jenny Craig is a diet program designed to help you build a healthy relationship with food, which will lead to better eating habits, weight loss and better physical and emotional health.

Function

Jenny Craig consultants first determine your eating habits, your activity level and your goals. Based on this information--called the YourStyle Profile--they create a personalized weight-loss plan for you.

Foods

Jenny Craig supplies your daily meals and snacks, which are in specific portions for limited caloric intake. You are encouraged to include your own fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy items.

Duration

According to the Jenny Craig website, the Jenny Craig program teaches you how to create balanced meals and control your meal portions so that you can eventually maintain your weight loss on your own. The length of time you will remain on the program will depend on your specific circumstances.

Support

On the Jenny Craig program, you will be assigned an individual consultant, with whom you will meet once a week to evaluate your progress, plan your meals and develop strategies to keep you on track.

Supplements

Because Jenny Craig's meals are low in calories, you will be given vitamin supplements to ensure that you are receiving adequate nutrition.

Cost

Jenny Craig's cost depends on whether you choose a long-term program or a short-term program, and which menu items you select.
