Jenny Craig compared to Nutrisystem: Which is the best diet plan?

As a “not thin” diet reviewer who has lived through both Nutrisystem and Jenny Craig in the previous six months, I find myself uniquely qualified to respond to that most familiar question: which diet of the two is better? What follows are my conclusions, brief and fairly sweet.

(Just to let you know my particular case, I am 5 feet 5 inches and hanging near the two hundred pound level).

One can shed approximately the same number of pounds on either of these diet programs, however there are several noteworthy differences to be aware of.

Jenny’s frozen entrees taste significantly better than much of the Nutrisystem food which show up in unpleasant unrefrigerated packets. Take into account, the greater the cuisine tastes, the easier it will be to stay with the routine. The advantage here goes to Jenny!

So why is Nutrisystem more successful? The lower cost!

Typical Jenny plan choice: approximately $550 every thirty days
Standard Nutrisystem program option: roughly $350 on a monthly basis

Yes, Nutrisystem is considerably less costly, and in these rough financial times, that is an important concern.

If you cannot afford to pay for the Jenny Criag diet plan, the Nutrisystem plan can work for you if you go into it with the proper attitude, which may be this: Consider Nutrisystem as a meal plan version of a Marine boot camp. It will most definitely whip the extra weight from you, as long as you are strong-willed enough to stick with it. But it is difficult to stay with it for much more than a month.

Halfway between Nutrisystem and Jenny is the Nutrisystem Select Plan which will lighten your wallet by three hundred and ninety dollars on a monthly basis with auto-delivery. Nutrisystem Select replaces one of the daily astronaut meals for a far better tasting frozen meal, but for the rest of the day, you will still be required to dine on the typical Nutrisystem fare.

If you find live guidance is beneficial to you, you might be happier with the Jenny Craig plan. Jenny’s memberships include regular advice sessions with a counselor, plus a toll free telephone number at your disposal 24 / 7. Nutrisystem’s membership offers simple internet resources including a food diary and weight loss log, as well as a toll free number to call for further telephone guidance.

So, my final verdict between Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem is… If you’ve got the bucks, go with Jenny Craig ahead of Nutrisystem.
