Rapid Results

Each meal plan is supplemented with the Rapid Results meal plan. Rapid Results is the strategy behind each menu item. It structures your meal plan so that you’ll eat during a 12-hour period and then let your body “rejuvenate” for another 12-hour period. The idea is that as your metabolism fluctuates throughout the day consumers will be eating the right type and amount of food at times when their metabolism is highest and lowest.

The Bottom Line

Overall, Jenny Craig offers a simple solution to weight loss. It is easy to follow without the hassle of buying groceries and a dirty kitchen. If you are looking for something easy with a company that has been in the diet plan game for a while, this is a good option. This diet plan is more expensive than others we have reviewed. For those worried about the price, consider looking at some other diet plan options.

Sherri Boyles Scottsdale, AZ

I've gone to Jennie Craig a couple of times and I really love their plan and the way they implement it. I like feeling accountable to someone and their food is actually good. I did Jenny Craig at the same time my husband did a similar company who mailed their food directly to you and I would not have been able to eat anything that he had to. It all smelled and looked horrible. He suffered through it while I continued on with mine to lose even more than I originally had planned. I have been back twice when I go up 10 pounds or so higher than I want to be. It always works. Now if I can stop gaining that extra 10 pounds so I don't have to go back, that would be great! I could work here and easily sell this, that's how much I like it!

Jenny Craig is a great value in food and weight loss guidance. The meal plans are simple to follow, make sense nutritionally, and are economical. I followed the guidelines for great weight loss success at a reasonable price.

Jenny Craig sucked me in with its marketing. The diet plan comes to you printed out and you can view it online. I liked the physical plan in my hands because I could write notes on it and keep myself on track rather than depending on my phone screen all of time.

I decided to try Jenny Craig and lost over 20lbs. It was surprising how easy it was because the food was really good! I liked that everything was prepared for me and it took little or no prep time. The staff here in Utah was awesome and encouraging.

The meals are very good and there is a lot of variety, they are expensive, but health is priceless and losing weight is a health issue. The San Francisco center in Puerto Rico has wonderful consultants that accompany you throughout the process. It works if you have the commitment.

Jenny Craig products taste amazing, but they can get a bit expensive. At the end of the day, the products themselves won't do it all for you, but at least they taste good and make it easier!

Never will I ever deal with Jenny Craig EVER again!! I signed up and paid to get services through this company. They up and left our area and went to California. I lost all of my money which was difficult for me to come up with while raising a family with 5 children. They told me I was out of luck with no reimbursement. 😡😡

Jenny Craig is great for people who need help with portion control. The maintenance phase really helps you transition back into regular food without losing your progress.

Food is gross and still processed. Lost weight but once you stop eating their food the weight comes back quickly. Too expensive.
