Jenny Craig recommends a 14-hour fast followed by a 10-hour eating window. Toward the end of the eating window and before officially breaking the fast with breakfast, you can consume a Jenny Craig Recharge Bar.

All-in-all, Jenny Craig can be expensive. A basic plan will cost you about $10 per day at a minimum, and you can expect to pay anywhere from $420 to $856 per month for the Jenny Craig diet, which doesn't include shipping fees.

Jenny Craig's approach focuses on choosing low-fat foods that are rich in water, fiber, and protein to fill you up. In general, you can eat as many nonstarchy vegetables (like tomatoes, broccoli, and peppers) as you want. You can also have occasional splurges like alcoholic beverages.

The more additives you see - particularly excess sugar alcohols (sorbitol, xylitol), which can cause gastric distress - the less likely the bar is to deserve the “healthy” moniker. Palm oils, soy protein isolate and so-called natural flavors are also red flags.

Many protein bars also contain high amounts of added sugar and use unhealthy sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup, which adds excess fructose to your diet and can increase your risk of fatty liver, obesity, and diabetes when consumed in high amounts ( 3 , 4 , 5 ).

On the Jenny Craig program, we aim for 0.5kg to 1kg a week for weight loss, and this is a healthy and achievable amount. So if you have 12 weeks until your event, you would aim for 6-12 kilos lost. Mark on your calendar or diary what your goal weight is each week, so you know what you are aiming for.

The Jenny Craig diet focuses on eating smaller meals roughly six times a day, which include breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus snacks, desserts and/or recharge energy bars. In addition to your Jenny Craig meals and snacks, the program also encourages eating fresh veggies, fresh fruits and low-fat dairy products.

Halford says she had a hunch that the company wouldn't last. "The cost of the food, the lack of client retention and not getting in new clients I knew it was a matter of time before the stores would be closing," she says.

Dehydration: The low-calorie diet can cause dehydration, which can lead to headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Constipation: The low-fiber diet can cause constipation, which can lead to discomfort and digestive issues.

The key difference is that Jenny Craig delivers prepared food, while WW guides people in making their own nutritious food. Despite this, there is no evidence that one program is better than the other, and successful weight loss and management will depend on the individual.
