Lets get together to bring back the veggie burger. vegetarians what do you say?

I agree completely!! I have been off JC for 3 years and just rejoined. I was so disappointed to learn they canceled it. The JC burger was the 1 food I craved while off the diet, it didn't feel like diet food at all. And I have never been able to find something similar to it, which cannot be said for the pizzas.

Hi from Chai Tea., I emailed Lightlife foods and told them to get in touch with Jenny Craig to get something going here. Let's band together and get Jenny Craig to bring in more vegetarian
Foods and get the situation going.!!!!!!!!!! Regards, and stay strong Chai Tea

I'm not a vegetarian, but I love veggie burgers. Can't stomach the turkey burger. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Hi from Chai Tea., I only use the turkey burger for the bun when I make my own veggie burgers. Let's get together and let Jenny Craig know we want our veggie burger back.

I also would love to have veggie burgers on the menu. I am new to Jenny Craig and am a fishitarian.(LOL) Even with eating fish I do not have as many choices! What do we do to let JC know? I will mention it to my counselor on Friday.

Thanks!,
Jill in NC

I'm not vegetarian but would love a veggie burger as one of the choices. I always loved Dr. Praegers california burgers and spinach pancakes. Hope that JC brings one out.

This non-vegetarian would like veggie burgers too. I'd also like more legumes.

I just went to the contact us and requested the veggie burger. I also miss by beans! I am going to make the request once a day until I get a response back from JC.

If we all do that, maybe it will HAPPEN!

Peace,
Jill in NC

Hi, from Chai Tea., keep up the messages to JC I know that our voices will be heard. thanks for writing back. Regards, Chai Tea

Hello from Chai Tea., I like the Penne Pasta thats one that I really like alot. But the veggie burger is the best let's keep after them and we will together make progress. Stay strong!!! regards, Chai Tea

Keep up the good work, if we keep after them., we will make progress.

the turkey burger can be rather dry but I like to use the bun for my veggie burgers and I sometimes use the barbeque sauce that comes in the package.

Its a good idea that the burger can be grilled and used anywhere. Regards, Chai Tea

Hi, from Chai Tea the best lequmes that I prefer are the kidney or the black beans they have the most protein. other beans are okay but they have less. Regards, Chai Tea

Spinach burgers sound interesting how is that made? chai tea

Hello,

I just joined and had my first day today. It wasn't too bad actually.

I have to say I was really looking forward to the triple chocolate cheesecake all day. I had the penne pasta and it was actually pretty good. It really wasn't far off from what I would cook for myself. But I would eat another helping of it.

I love Boca burgers and I did not try the Veggie Burgers but I did notice that there really isn't that many choices. There is a lot of pizzas. The Broc/Cheese potatoe was edible but I did not "love" it. Fat free sour cream helped I must say.

When I originally went into the center to join the counselor initially told me that since I was a vegetarian that I could not join and if I would have called first she would have told me not to bother to come in. When I told her I had been on this forum and there were other veggies out there she did ask someone else. But prior to asking she did ask me to "reconsider" being a vegetarian. WHAT? Let me see... yeah, no! I was stunned but I did talk to someone that did know what they were talking about.

I was really glad you all were here or I would have walked out. Never to return.

There was another post in a different section asking for beef burgers. I'm not vegetarian and I love the turkey burger but I was thinking a fish burger would be awesome. They make one at my local health food store that is fantastic. It's ground up fish, potato and some onions, peppers mixed in to form a patty... then they flour it and saute it. It's a thai fish burger so the seasoning is good and a little spicey. It's is sooo good. I don't know if all of you eat fish but I just thought it was a good option instead of beef.

Yes yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to let you all know, you are wasting your time with asking for anything from these people. I stopped eating JC food because I just couldn't stomach it anymore. When you are given so few options, after a while it gets old. I have been asking for more veggie foods for almost three years now. THEY DON'T CARE. I am just real disgusted with this company in general. Why should someone who is a vegetarian have to suck it up and eat meat for a while. I refused!!!! I have been doing just fine on my own. In fact, better. I feel much better eating my own food. If you use the chart of how many starches, fats, etc. you are to have in a day, you can easily, and in my opinion healthier. Good luck to all of you. But, they are not listening.

I'm new to JC and not a vegetarian, but there are certain situations when I follow a vegetarian diet. I have been doing this now for a few weeks and am so sick of the limited choices. I would love a vegie burger. In fact, I would enjoy it regularly. Also, considering that healthy eating is touted as eating fish at least twice a week, it's disapppointing that they only have two fish choices, salmon and fish and chips. What about some shrimp with pasta? What about some tilapia? There could be more variety. Someone at JC, please, look into this. Some of us are getting desparate for variety that doesn't exist if you are required to not eat meat.

For Roda13,

Although, opinions are respected on this website, it is meant as a tool for positive reinforcement and camaraderie between fellow Jenny Craig-ers. If you feel that Jenny Craig is not for you, then that is fine, but don't trash it to the rest of us who struggle every day with weight loss and find that Jenny helps us. I feel that Jenny does care and teaches you how to create a lifestyle on your own. You complain about lack of choices, well why not use what Jenny teaches and incorporate more free and limited foods, and meals-on-my-own into your program. It sounds to me that is is your attitude that needs an adjustment.....not just Jenny.

I am also going to go into contact us every day for the veggie burger

i agree, however, requesting it online isn't working. i've requested numerous times. what other methods might work? has anyone tried calling corp headquarters? if so, what type of response? maybe the request should be sent out to other forums for the meat eaters to help bring it back (not sure if anyone's done it). please share your thoughts.

I am so with you! I love veggie burgers. I haven't tried the JC one yet, but from what I have heard and read it looks really good! I really do hope they offer more vegetarian items.

Hi Indiegirl..hey I just saw u lost approx 6 pounds in the first week...could u share ur experience with me ..I have just started and it is my 3rd day and I have hardly lost....I am excersing as well...will help me..thanks

I just joined, and as a 4-year-veg who depended on Veggie Burgers I am at a loss! Lets bring it back! When I have my next consultation, I'll ask about how to get it back on the plan. In the meantime, I'll send some emails.

[font="Georgia"][/font][size="5"][/size][color="#000080"][/color]AMEN!!!

[/font][/size][/color] [font="Georgia"][size="4"][color="#4B0082"]AMEN!!!

Yessssssssss we need it back PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it's just not cost effective for Jenny Craig to be a full-service vegetarian diet program. The number of people who would choose the vegetarian options may not be great enough to stock them (and maybe they knew that from the number who chose the veggie burger).

I'm a non-vegetarian who often eats like a vegetarian, and I am very happy to have veggie options, but when I see the comments people make, like the ones about the meatless nuggets in the dumpling rice, etc., it makes me think that there may be few who would buy more hard-core vegetarian items.

I'm sure there's a market out there for a full-service vegetarian weight loss program - maybe someone else will pickup on it if Jenny Craig can't/won't. I'm sure it's tough for the vegetarians to stay motivated with the program - I hope you find a resolution.

I vote yes!!!
