Hi S.,
The premise behind Jenny Craig is great. The low glycemic index is a very healthy way to eat and it will help you lose weight. My Dad was diagnosed as a diabetic when I was young and we ate like this for him....long before it became popular. The problem I have with these companies that provide food is that the food is processed. Processed foods are full of chemicals and the chemicals can cause us to retain weight. I know we can't avoid all processed foods because of the system our country has, but it is best to avoid as many as possible. Processing (i.e. the chemicals, preservatives AND pesticides) keeps our body from absorbing nutrition properly. When our body does not absorb nutrition, the body will not release body fat.
I started my husband on an absorbable multivitamin/mineral complex and he dropped 110 pounds. The first 60 of that was without any diet change or any activity change. After he lost the 60 pounds, he started running again. He lost 50 more pounds and has kept it off for five years now. Nutrition, which Jenny Craig is attempting, is the basis to weight management.
Regards,
M.
