Pros: Jenny's often edible pre-packaged food
Cons: It has the half-life of Styrofoam
Summary: Though I am quite certain never to be mistaken for Fabio, it gives me considerable satisfaction that the bronzer-stained Barbie-blond beefcake gets to eat neither beef, nor cake, on anything approaching a regular basis.
Moreover, considering...

Pros: Great food, well balanced and nutritious (more so than Nutrisystem - check labels)
Cons: Diets - they are never fun! But this as as good as it gets.
Summary: The food in this program tastes excellent. There are a few dishes that are not all that great, but you never have to eat them again. If there is something you do not like you just cancel it and replace it with another item you do enjoy. Overall the food ...

Pros: Easy, effective, kind of fun.
Cons: Some counselors are kind of pushy up-selling the extras.
Summary: Just into my 3rd week on the Jenny Craig diet, and I'm pretty happy so far. Have 25 lbs to lose and am already down 8, but expect that speedy decrease to slow a bit. A friend was doing well on JC which prompted me to join. It's incredibly convenient ...

Pros: Easy to follow
Cons: Untrained staff, pushy sales tactics, expensive
Summary: I joined this program because I needed something easy to follow. I was returning to work and still nursing. I was concerned about having enough calories to not dry up, but still lose weight. The diet is easy to follow and I like it because I don't...
