How does Jenny Craig weight loss program work?

The Jenny Craig weight loss program combines a diet of frozen and shelf-stable
pre-packaged foods with one-on-one counseling, independent homework (which
includes instructional workbooks and video tapes, and motivational audio tapes)
and group classes on behavior modification. Participants initially purchase
most of their food, particularly entrees, from Jenny Craig weight loss program;
these foods are supplemented with regular (grocery store) foods such as dairy
products and fresh vegetables. As the diet progresses, the ratio of Jenny Craig
weight loss program foods to regular foods is gradually lowered. There are
different menu plans (regular, no red meat, vegetarian) available. The prepackaged
foods are intended to teach participants about portion control while freeing
them from the necessity of weighing, measuring, and preparing food. The behavior
modification classes are supposed to teach participants how to make healthy
food choices once they've been weaned off the Jenny Craig weight loss program
foods.
