Founded in 1983, Jenny Craig, Inc. is one of the largest weight management service companies in the world. Jenny Craig offers a comprehensive weight management program that helps clients learn how to eat the foods they want, develop a healthy and enjoyable eating style, increase their energy level through simple activity, and build more balance into their lives for optimal weight loss and well-being.

The Jenny Craig Program has been designed by Registered Dietitians in consultation with an expert Medical Advisory Board, whose recommendations are based on the latest nutrition, exercise, and behavioral strategies for weight management and disease prevention. We're proud to offer our clients a comprehensive, scientifically proven way to achieve and maintain their desired weight

Weight is often related to lifestyle. That's why the goal of the Jenny Craig Program is to help clients acquire:

• A Healthy Relationship with Food
  Along with balanced, low-calorie density food choices and portion control, the program emphasizes the importance of tuning into physical/emotional eating cues and the pleasure of eating via our menus and online journal. Teaching clients to be mindful about what they eat, is the first step in making healthier, more satisfying choices.
• An Active Lifestyle
  The activity component of the program was developed in consultation with the world-renowned Cooper Institute and encourages clients to gradually increase activity through a combination of natural, planned and "playful" physical activities. Jenny Craig offers a walking audiocassettes, and fitness video series, and other tools that encourage clients to engage in a variety of cardiorespiratory, resistance and stretching activities. Maintenance materials also address important variables such as lack of time, ongoing motivation and changing body image.
• A Balanced Approach to Living
  As weight issues are, in part, a reflection of thoughts and emotions clients bring to their weight loss efforts, the Program emphasizes cognitive strategies to help clients develop a more balanced, positive mindset.

Whether you would like to lose a small amount of weight for a special occasion such as a wedding or reunion, or want to make more significant changes, Jenny Craig has Program options to meet your needs. The Jenny Craig Program has been designed to result in a weekly weight loss of one to two pounds or 1% of your body weight. These results may vary based on an individual's personal weight history, body composition, level/frequency of physical activity, and motivation, among other factors.

At Jenny Craig our goal is to help you learn not only how to lose weight, but how to effectively maintain your weight loss as well. Weight is partially related to lifestyle. That's why the goal of the Jenny Craig Program is to help clients acquire the tools they need for long-term success focusing on a healthy relationship with food, an active lifestyle and a balanced approach to living. In addition, clients on our Platinum or Rewards plans have access to a maintenance component which helps with the transition from Jenny's Cuisine to planning your own menus.

Your personal Consultant will help you determine your optimal calorie level based on your age, height, current weight, gender and your activity level. Our lowest calorie level is 1200 calories per day, based on the latest Dietary Guideline recommendations.

We recommend you only weigh yourself once a week at a consistent time (preferably in the morning) to avoid any discouragement due to normal daily weight fluctuations. Clients participating in our Local Centre programs weigh in at weekly consultations, while those on our Jenny Direct programs weigh in at home.
