It's very easy to get these two meal replacement plans confused. Both are highly favorable plans which wish no point tallying or calorie counting and supply 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 interpret what I believe are the key differences between the two plans. Hopefully, this information will help you resolve which would be best for you.
The Similarities: Both Nutrisystem and Jenny Craig rely on a wide range of prepackaged meals. You select 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 clubs encourage you to supplement the meals with your own salutary options like fruits and vegetables. Both have lots of range and allow relax 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 discrepancy 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 review with your consultant 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 discussion via telephone if you prefer, but I find it's beyond doubt quick, easy, and immediate to chat in real time online. This counseling is not mandatory though. There is no one to wish you to check in once per week or at all if you're doing fine on your own. This is a personal preference. Some citizen want all the support they can get, while others prefer to seek support from close friends or family.
Costs Of Both Plans: Both plans wish that you pay for your foods. This cost is pretty similar, averaging about per day, but there are regularly coupons and specials running. However, Jenny Craig does charge further membership fees in addition to the food. This is to cover the one on one counseling. A current example is " for six weeks plus the cost of food." Since Nutrisystem only charges for food, it is a bit cheaper, regularly running about 0 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 beyond doubt need laberious 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.
