Jenny Craig vs. Nutrisystem: Which diet is the best diet plan?

As an obese but dieting writer who has experienced both Jenny Craig & Nutrisystem in the prior several months, I am very much in the position to reply to that most oft asked query: which diet program of the two is superior? Listed here are my results, quick and fairly sweet.

(By the way, in case you'd like to know my individual circumstance, I am 5 feet 5 inches and hanging roughly around the two-hundred pound level).

You will most likely shed more or less the same number of pounds on either of these diet programs, however there are a number of noteworthy distinctions to be aware of.

Jenny's frozen dinners taste substantially more satisfying as opposed to much of the Nutrisystem fare which often show up in unpleasant vacuum-packed or freezed dried pouches. Take into account, the higher quality the meals taste, the easier it most likely will be to stay with the regimen. The advantage here goes to Jenny!

Why then is Nutrisystem more successful? The lower cost!

Typical Jenny option: about $550 every thirty days
Typical Nutrisystem plan option: as much as $350 on a monthly basis

Certainly, Nutrisystem is much more economical, and in these hard financial conditions, that is for most people an important component.

If you cannot afford to pay for Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem will work for you if you're willing to procede with going into it with the best state of mind, which may be the following: Imagine Nutrisystem as your dieting edition of a Army bootcamp. It could without doubt whip the extra weight off of you, providing you can be tough-minded enough remain with it. But it is very difficult to hang with it for any more than a few weeks.

A compromise between Jenny and Nutrisystem is the Nutrisystem Select Plan which will lighten your wallet by $390 on a monthly basis with with the auto-delivery option. Nutrisystem Select trades one of the everyday astronaut meals for a lot better tasting frozen meal, but for the rest of the day, you'll still have to eat the usual Nutrisystem cuisine.

If live support is important to you, you may be better off with the Jenny Craig program. Jenny Craig's memberships include weekly consultations, and a toll free number available 24 hours a day. The Nutrisystem program membership provides basic online tools that include a food diary and weight loss log, and a toll free number to call for additional phone support.

My final verdict: If you have the bucks, opt for Jenny Craig over Nutrisystem.
