Interested in the cost of the Jenny Craig diet? Read This!

By Jessica A. Andersen

The cost of the Jenny Craig diet depends on the type of plan you select. There are short-term plans and long-term plans. Jenny Craig advertises an interesting statistic, they say that their participants spend only one dollar more per day than the average American does on food.

Today, September 28, 2008 I spoke to Jenny Craig representative. She informed me about the options available in the program and the associated costs. First off you describe is called the 20 pounds for $20 program. This program last 10 weeks includes weekly meeting expenses but does not include meals. The meeting is with a professional weight loss consultant.

Meals cost between $12 and $18 per day. This includes three meals, dessert, snacks and vitamin bars. Meals consist of frozen entrees that are developed by Jenny Craig through years of research. Most people find them tasty, filling and quite serviceable. At the end of 10 weeks if you haven't reached your weight loss goals you can sign up for additional meal plans but you may incur an additional cost.

The other diet option that was described to me by the Jenny Craig representative is known as the Jenny Craig rewards plan. This is a one-year program that costs $359 per year plus your food costs. This plan includes weekly meetings with the consultant. The rewards aspect of this plan is as follows: during the first 10 weeks you will receive a 10% discount on meals, during the next 10 weeks you will receive a 20% discount on food, and during the remaining 32 weeks you will receive a 35% discount on all meals.

According to Jenny Craig representative that I spoke with, the savings you'll realize through these discounts more than make up for the $359 sign up costs. As you can see you will be spending some money, but the program is comparable to your everyday food costs and the statistic quoted by Jenny Craig that you'll only be spending one dollar more per day on food seems reasonable.
