Jenny Craig Diet: Characteristics The main premise of the Jenny Craig diet is that participants eat prepackaged, premeasured, and processed meals which are delivered to the participant’s home. Counselors are available in order to assist with long-term goals and teach participants to avoid emotional eating. There is some flexibility in allowing participants to eat out, or to enjoy the occasional snack as well ("health and wellness,"2014).

Pros/advantages and Cons/disadvantages
An advantage to the Nutrisystem diet would be steady weight loss and a convenient way to get oneself on track. In addition, no food is restricted in and of itself. Other foods besides the package system are available for the participant to enjoy. There are specific concepts for each dieter based on their other types of conditions. Different tracks for older adults and diabetics are made available ("health and wellness,"2014).
Disadvantages to this diet, as well as diets like Jenny Craig, would be first and foremost the cost that is needed in order to purchase the food. In addition with the Nutrisystem diet, dining out is not a part of the plan. The diet is restricted in the fact that your meals are prepared and delivered but there is not an avenue for creativity in preparing meals, this may make things difficult for a family.
Recommendations
I would only recommend Nutrisystem to a person who needed to lose a considerable amount of weight, and only if they were willing to spend the money for the guaranteed calorie restriction. Those who are willing to make a large commitment in the form of money may benefit from having the work of food prep done for them. However, this is not a long term solution. Nutrisystem does claim that they have made enhancements in their plan and are continually researching in order to make it healthy and safe for participants ("health and wellness,"2014).
Weight Watchers Diet:
When reading about some of the diet I was familiar with, I began speaking to my 50 year old aunt, whom revealed that she had struggle with dieting most of her adult life. After making a complete list of the diets she has tried, some common factors were present. In every diet there are many risk factors that could possibly occur, such as relapse. In the quote “Eat less fat and you will be less fat” is the main reason the diets that most people try don’t work because most nutritional value is lost this book gives you the truth about myths and misconceptions that many diet
Weight Watchers has been around for almost fifty years and has seen some success in helping people lose weight. The need to revamp their entire program does show signs that perhaps this program was not showing the ability to keep participants maintaining the weight loss on the long-term scale as that they promise. A complete Weight Watchers Points Plus review shows that the program does show some great improvement from their older version.
I had no idea that what I included in my diet was so important and provided a significant impact to my wellbeing. After doing the first part of this Analysis project, I was surprised to see the many areas that I can improve on. I created 3 specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound goals to help me improve on receiving the right amount and variety of nutrients in my diet. My goals are to drink 8 glasses of water a day, have fruits and vegetables every meal adding to a total of about 4-6 cups, and to have a different breakfast every day. For 30 days, I attempted to implement daily each of my 3 goals.
Weight Watchers is a very healthy way to lose weight. This is in part due to the fact that no food is forbidden; any food may be eaten as long as dieters don’t go over their allocated points for the day. This means that no nutrients are lost while following this program. In order to get all the proper nutrients, the program suggests eating three meals a day, each consisting of one serving of meat, two servings of vegetables, and a serving of whole grains, along with healthy snacks, such as fruit or yogurt. These serving sizes are based on what the United States Department of Agriculture recommends as a healthy and balanced diet. These recommendations have been established as safe, as there have been no known diseases or health problems caused by adhering to them.
NutriMost is doing well in situations where other weight loss programs have failed. There are prolonged stories concerning individuals losing 20 or more pounds of weight in their first 40 days. Dr.Mitch is included whereby he lost 38 lbs on the program.
All the weight presented was high numbers, Giselle C. lost 38 pounds, Rose U. lost 50 pounds, and Barbara N. lost 81 pounds. The stories does not sound authentic because some of the stories talked about the same situation, for example, they would talk about their traveling experience and described how they hated traveling on a plane because their seat belt was too tight or their fat would hang over the seat. All stories would emphasize how they didn’t have to work out to lose weight; all they did was just eat Jenny’s Cuisines. So that makes people feel like that don’t have to work out to lose weight, but health wise, you need to balance physical activity and a healthy diet in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Jenny Craig’s videos online interviewing their clients makes it sound like this program will work because their clients have all lost over 35 pounds and tells you how their life change because they have lost so much weight. Their support system really helps boost people’s self esteem because in a time of losing weight, they need a partner to motivate them and give them positive feedback. It has all give them confidence and their life style has changed drastically because they feel beautiful and
One of the questions that I was asking myself before I read any of the articles was if the program works for people who are on certain diets, for example vegan or vegetarian. According to Weight Watchers Diet Review: Count Points for Weight Loss, it states that the way the program is set up, using daily SmartPoints allow one to still use the program given certain restrictions (Asp, K. A., & Nazario, B., MD.) In all of the sources found pertaining to the Weight Watchers Program, the authors provides some kind of evidence, biased or unbiased, of how the Weight Watchers program does help people lose weight.
In conclusion, this is by far the best diet program out there. They do not try to put products or medications in your body that can in the long run be dangerous for you. Even once someone pays for
This diet is not as time-consuming and expensive as some of the other popular diets
In today’s world, one cannot watch a thirty-minute television show without being bombarded with commercials promoting the latest, “Breakthrough Health Kick.” The Paleo Diet, Atkins Diet, South Beach Diet, along with a vast number of diets on the market has skewed the idea of healthy eating. The textbook, Nutrition from Science to You, states, “Healthy eating means you need to balance, vary, and moderate your nutrient intake.” Sadly, when I took two days to analyze my own diet I found a lack of balance, variety, and the ability to eat in moderation.
With concerns of our day to day living we do not have enough time and budget to be choosy of the type of food or the nutritional value of it, what we think of nowadays is just to have something to satisfy our hunger without considering the nutrients that our body needs each day. When we hear diet nowadays often we see it as losing weight by means of controlling food intake, but the truth is diet could also mean eating nutritious foods to supplement our body’s needs of nutrients and the type of foods that we are going to consume.

Its competitiveness versus Medifast largely derives from the low price, product efficacy and Customer Value Proposition.
Everyone knows that the more restrictive a diet is, the more likely people are to turn away from it. Unfortunately, this diet is extremely hard to follow as it entails foods from the earth only, and everywhere we turn, a new fast food resteraut is being built. The century in which we live today is very different from this one of the past. People who attempt diets, but fail end up regaining all of their weight lost and gaining even more. It wouldnt be a bad idea to focus on eating more vegetables and less processed foods, instead of following such a rigid diet. The better side of this limited diet, is although the food type is limited, the amount is not. You are encouraged to eat and increase the quantity. Sometimes it is not a good idea to follow diets that dont follow the whole food groups, due to the lack of nutrients, however this diet tends to become a balanced diet. It is important to learn how to eat, since food is supposed to just fuel the body rather than become a comfort
