Today I want to take a look at one of the companies that offer a type of "weight loss support system". I really do believe these systems are a good way to learn how to eat, and ultimately build a healthier lifestyle. There are a couple downfalls that we'll talk about, but all in all they are really beneficial.
Let's start with Jenny Craig.
Here's the deal: Jenny Craig is a program that not only helps you reach weight loss goals, but also make healthy changes in your lifestyle.
The Good.
This is a great system, right down to their website. It's not a diet, it's a plan for healthy living. The system addresses the three most important factors of weight loss and a healthy lifestyle:

This is a great system, right down to their website. It's not a diet, it's a plan for healthy living. The system addresses the three most important factors of weight loss and a healthy lifestyle:
- FOOD - A Healthy Relationship With Food
- BODY - An Active Lifestyle
- MIND - A Balanced Approach to Living
They have consultants, plans, menu's and a great website that offers a ton of tools to keep you on track.
The Bad.
One downfall that I've seen to this system is cost. While it isn't at all overpriced for the service that they offer, when you add up the cost of the food for the program it can be a bit more that doing the shopping and cooking yourself. You are paying for the convenience of having the food prep and selection done for you. This isn't bad if you can afford it, but it also takes away from you learning how to shop healthy at the grocery store, as well as cook healthy at home.
The Ugly.
Honestly, I can't really find any major health related downfalls to the system. The biggest problems are the cost mentioned above, (which can run $300 - $500 a month) and that it can be difficult to stay on the system if you eat out a lot.
Tomorrow we'll take a look at another weight loss system, L.A. Weight loss.
