Founded in 1983 in Melbourne, Australia, Jenny Craig, Inc. is one of the largest weight management service companies in the world, with company-owned and franchised Centres in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Puerto Rico.

Over the past 25 years, we've helped millions of people worldwide learn how to eat a nutritious diet that includes many of their favorite foods, increase their energy level through simple activity, and build more balance into their lives for optimal weight loss and well being. We change lives!

The three cornerstones of Jenny Craig's safe approach to effective weight management are food, body and mind.

Our more than 80 delicious Jenny's Cuisine™ entrees and snacks help clients create a healthy relationship with food by illustrating proper portion sizes and modeling nutritionally balanced meals. Trained consultants also provide advice on making smart choices at restaurants and in other challenging social situations.

Clients also learn how to build an active lifestyle by incorporating physical activity into their daily routines. This can include planned activities such as walking, swimming and going to the gym, as well as natural activities like playing with their children, gardening, and taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

A third focus is placed on developing a balanced approach to living. With the support of motivation-based consultations, clients will identify their unique weight-loss mindsets, learn how to make themselves a priority by taking well-deserved time for self-care and celebrating the milestones they achieve.

The hallmark of the Jenny Craig Program is our one-on-one attention and individual support. Knowledgeable, caring consultants provide motivation, encouragement and helpful information – either at our Jenny Craig Centres, or over the phone as part of our at-home Jenny Direct® Program.

To continually evolve our program to best meet our clients' dynamic needs, Jenny Craig has a highly regarded Medical Advisory Board whose expertise enables us to incorporate the latest research in nutrition, physical activity and behavior change to create effective strategies for long-term weight loss and a healthy lifestyle.

In a recent clinical trial, Jenny Craig participants lost over 5 times as much weight as those who dieted on their own*. This is significant in that most people who choose to lose weight first try to "go it alone", meaning they try to modify their diet and/or level of activity based on what they've read and/or the advice of others. The results of this clinical trial show the comprehensive Jenny Craig Program® to be a much more effective approach to weight loss.
