Cost of Jenny Craig Diet

The cost of Jenny Craig diet is as follows:

  • $299 joining fee

  • $70 per week

The cost of Jenny Craig is higher than many other diet programs, in part, because they provide members with pre-packaged foods.  This can be an attractive feature for those people who are busy and don't have the time nor the inclination to prepare health foods.  However, users say it can be a nuisance when travelling, or entertaining, and it doesn't help you to learn better eating habits.

The cost of Jenny Craig diet can sometimes be mitigated, according to jennycraig.com, if your health fund gives rebates for weight loss programs, and some do.  You could receive up to a 100% rebate on the cost of your Gold or Men's Program (food additional). Medibank Private members with SmartPLUS, Advantage PLUS, Super Extras, Smart Choice Extras, Blue Ribbon Extras, Blue Ribbon Extras Plus or Advantage Extras Cover may have the cost of their Jenny Craig Program fully refunded. For further details, the jennycraig.com website in your local country may be able to assist.

The Cost of Jenny Craig Diet - personal experience

The cost of Jenny Craig Diet, according to Starrion of epinions:

"That's when we started talking menus. They had all the menus for each day laid out. That's when I realized that they supply all the entrees for all your meals plus some snacks. The menus sounded OK, like "salisbury steak" or "Pasta primevera". So I asked if Jenny Craig supplied all the food, how long did that last. It turns out that I was going to be eating their food for upwards of six months. So I selected seven tasty sounding menus and went to check out. The total came to over $80 for one week's food. Almost $12 a day! My jaw hit the floor. "It's the same as you would normally spend on food anyway", they chirped cheerily from the desk. No, it isn't. But I was committed. I was serious. I'll find a way to afford this, I thought.

At two weeks I had lost 8 pounds and $160 dollars. My will power started to fade, but I had to keep going.

At two months I had lost 16 pounds and spent $640 on food."

Jenny Craig Lawsuit

In May 29 1997, a Jenny Craig lawsuit went to court in California with charges of deceptive advertising, in connection with the diet program's claims about weight loss, weight loss maintenance, price and safety, as well as its use of consumer testimonials and endorsements.  A court settlement occurred, and money changed hands.

The result of the Jenny Craig lawsuit was that an agreement was made on how Jenny Craig would conduct itself in future.  The agreement sets out the types of evidence needed to support Jenny Craig's future weight loss and weight loss maintenance claims. It requires that claims about maintenance success include additional disclosures about the actual maintenance experience of Jenny Craig's customers, as well as the statement "For many dieters, weight loss is temporary."

Of course, none of this information will appear at jennycraig.com
