How much does the Jenny Craig diet Cost you?
There is certainly a cost to Jenny Craig and this is definitely a drawback to the program. There are different plans you can be setup with an initial $36 for six weeks but this is not the biggest cost for the diet. Jenny Craig is one of the few diets that offer its own comprehensive menu and you are likely to get your whole week food there all at one time. The dispute to this is that you have to buy food anyways but at least you are not buying something that you do not need but the food is a little pricy.
The cost for the 3-months long Jenny Craig program including the food is about $1735. That’s about $578/month, a food for a single person. Membership fees can range between $20 to $50 a month, but this varies according to the amount of weight you need to lose or if you are in maintenance. In addition to membership fees, the food itself will run around $14 a day. Some food discounts may apply.
Every now and then, specials are also available as advertised online or on television commercials that offer such discounts as “Lose as much weight as you want for $20.” But the fine print will state that it’s for a certain number of months and that the food is an additional cost.
The fee of the Jenny Craig diet depends on the type that you select. The diet has short-term plans and long-term plans. Jenny Craig is currently promoting a motivating statistic that they claim that the participants spend on average only one more dollar per day on food costs than someone who’s not on the diet.
According to Barbara, the Jenny Craig representative, the cost of their program is about 20 pounds for $20 program. The range of it is 10 week program and $20 includes meeting expenses for the weight loss professional but does not include meal costs.
Meals cost flanked by $12 and $18 per day. This includes three meals, dessert, snacks and vitamin bars. Meals consist of frozen entrees that are developed by Jenny Craig through years of research. Most people find them tasty, filling and quite serviceable. At the end of 10 weeks if you haven’t reached your weight loss goals you can sign up for additional meal plans but you may incur an additional cost.
The other diet option that was described to me by the Jenny Craig representative is known as the Jenny Craig rewards plan. This is a one-year program that costs $359 per year plus your food costs. This plan includes weekly meetings with the consultant. The rewards aspect of this plan is as follows: during the first 10 weeks you will receive a 10% discount on meals, during the next 10 weeks you will receive a 20% discount on food, and during the remaining 32 weeks you will receive a 35% discount on all meals.
According to Jenny Craig representative, the investments you’ll realize through these discounts more than make up for the $359 sign up costs. As you can see you will be spending some money, but the program is similar to your everyday food costs and the statistic quoted by Jenny Craig that you’ll only be spending one dollar more per day on food seems reasonable.
