The Good

Customization
Coach
Taste

Because Jenny Craig sells individual meals instead of pre-planned meals, dieters have complete control of what they eat. The customization is great with Jenny Craig. And if you aren't sure what to choose, your personal health coach can help you plan out your meals. When members sign up for Jenny Craig, they automatically get a coach to help choose foods, exercise programs, and glean encouragement. Jenny Craig was voted one of the best-tasting meal plans out there.

The Bad

Membership fee
Expensive

Unlike other meal plan diets, Jenny Craig dieters have to pay a monthly and yearly membership fee. While there are many benefits to becoming a member of Jenny Craig, the program can become very expensive, especially if you have a lot of weight to lose.

But, yo have to remember to tack on the enrollment fee and the monthly fees. Overall, a good program for those looking to steadily lose weight.

Jenny Craig has been so helpful in planning my diet meals and helping me in my goal of eating healthier. For a reasonable price, these meals take all the effort of tracking calories and nutritional facts for you. They are balanced and taste great. I like the variety in different meals and desserts.

this was one of the 1st meal plans i tried when i was attempting to lose weight to be completely honest it does work but not as well as you would like it to or that they advertise it took me couple weeks before i lost a pound and that was yes without me taking short cuts or going off the meal plan

Jenny Craig food tastes pretty good although I wouldn't say it's all nutritional. The smaller portions are the key to it's success.
