Which One Is Best? Nutrisystem Or Jenny Craig?

It's very easy to get Nutrisystem and Jenny Craig meal replacement plans confused. Both are extremely convenient plans which require no point tallying or calorie counting and provide the food for you. Both are endorsed by celebrities. (Queen Latifah and Valerie Bertinelli for Jenny Craig. Marie Osmond and Jillian Barberie for Nutrisystem.) In this article I will explain what I believe are the key differences between the two plans. Hopefully, this information will help you decide which would be best for you.

The Similarities: Both Nutrisystem and Jenny Craig rely on a wide variety of prepackaged meals. You choose your preferences for meals and snacks and you then order them from the company. The foods are low in calories and carbs and high in protein. Both companies encourage you to supplement the meals with your own healthy options like fruits and vegetables. Both have lots of variety and allow comfort foods like pizza, macaroni and cheese, desserts, and snacks. I find the taste of the foods to be similar and pretty decent.

The Major Differences: The major difference between the two plans is the level of one on one support you receive and where you receive it. By and large, Jenny Craig encourages you to visit the clinics and work there with your assigned counselor. You can also sign up with Jenny online, and with that option, you will communicate with your counselor via telephone. The company wants you to check in at least once per week. Although there is no specific cost for the counseling, Jenny does have membership fees in addition to the cost for food to cover this.

Nutrisystem provides counseling and support as well, but it is by and large online. This support and weight loss counseling is free. You only pay for your food. The counselors are available to conference via telephone if you prefer, but I find it's really quick, easy, and immediate to chat in real time online. This counseling is not mandatory though. There is no one to require you to check in once per week or at all if you're doing fine on your own. This is a personal preference. Some people want all the support they can get, while others prefer to seek support from close friends or family.

Costs Of Both Plans: Both plans require that you pay for your foods. This cost is pretty similar, averaging about $10 per day, but there are usually coupons and specials running. (You can see the latest nutriystem coupons at http://celebrity-diet-review.com/.)

However, Jenny Craig does charge additional membership fees in addition to the food. This is to cover the one on one counseling. A current example is "$35 for six weeks plus the cost of food." Since Nutrisystem only charges for food, it is a bit cheaper, usually running about $100 per month less.

Which Is For You?: Which of these plans is best for you depends a lot on your preferences. If you feel you really need intensive face to face counseling and don't mind paying a bit more for it, then Jenny Craig may be a better fit. But, if you're fine getting support online or on the phone and only want to pay for your food, you may prefer Nutrisystem.
