How does the Jenny Craig diet work?

This diet like many others is a calorie restriction program. At first you'll meet with a counselor and sit down develops and goals. They'll try to determine your personal individual eating style. They'll identify problems and try to develop solutions. Thereafter, you'll meet with your counselor once a week via e-mail or over the phone whichever is more convenient for you. This way you have the help and assistance of a professional monitoring you on your way to your fitness goals.

Like I said earlier this is calorie restriction diet. That means the way you lose weight is by eating fewer calories. The Jenny Craig diet consists of prepackaged meals. Eating these meals in the first step in the diet. Eventually you will transition to creating and cooking your own meals. But only after you've learned how to lose weight and stick to healthy eating, reasonable portions and break your bad habits.

The prepackaged meals have been researched by Jenny Craig and they provide all the essential nutrients you need. However, some people to complain that the meals are bland or that they lack a certain zest. But by and large a majority of people find the meals satisfactory, filling, and serviceable.

The great thing about the diet is that you actually lose weight very quickly. You will be restricting yourself to caloric intake of only about 1200 to 1700 calories. Compared to an average person's usual caloric intake, which can be anywhere from 2500 to 4000 calories, the Jenny Craig diet is substantially less. This means you'll lose weight extremely quickly.
