"      this diet to other popular diets.   Overview A low-calorie diet combined with exercise and behavioral strategies. Dieters subsist almost entirely on Jenny Craig prepackaged cuisine, with entr\u00E9es like pancakes with sausage, chicken sandwiches, and pasta e fagioli. Like most prepackaged frozen foods, Jenny meals are highly processed, loaded with preservatives, salt, and miscellaneous chemicals. You won&amp;#039;t find any all-natural, organic options here. Dieters can expect to lose about two pounds per week. Includes optional food delivery, personalized activity recommendations, and counseling support in person, on the phone, or online. What you will eat Complex carbs, unsaturated fats, and lean proteins -- almost exclusively from Jenny&amp;#039;s Cuisine. Counselors show dieters how to meet an assigned calorie level with a combination of Jenny&amp;#039;s Cuisine and grocery-store goods. Focus is on food groups and exchanges (proteins, vegetables, fruits, milk, etc.) instead of on counting an individual food&amp;#039;s calories. Plans start at 1,200 calories, but when you sign up for the program, a nutrition counselor will determine your unique calorie needs. No fast food, packaged grocery-store items, or other novelties. Alcohol and Caffeine No restrictions on caffeine. Alcohol is a little trickier. Jenny allows two or less drinks a week, and those who want to imbibe more have to work with their counselor to accommodate the extra calories. Dining Out Not easy -- you&amp;#039;re expected to eat Jenny&amp;#039;s Cuisine, especially during the first few weeks. Dining out is possible later in the program, but it&amp;#039;s not encouraged. Family Friendly It would get pretty expensive to order Jenny&amp;#039;s Cuisine for the whole family. Count on making meals for your husband and kids while you enjoy your pouch of nuked food. Amount of Cooking None. Best for Single people who crave convenience and have no qualms eating so much processed food. Good for those who don&amp;#039;t have a lot of time to think about what is and isn&amp;#039;t on their diet. Setbacks to Watch Out for The plan takes quite a toll on your pocketbook. The company estimates dieters will spend $11 to $17 a day. And then there&amp;#039;s the food-boredom factor, lack of selection, and highly processed meal plans. Of course, sticking with it for life may be a problem, too. Success Story Valerie Bertinelli lost over 20 pounds on Jenny Craig.
