JennyCraig.com Weight Loss Program
(c) GoingAllTheweigh.com
If you are considering a new weight loss approach, you will definitely want to take a closer look at all the
meal delivery programs out there. You've heard good things about Medifast, NutraSystem, Ediets.com, South Beach,
Jenny Craig and many more.
But before you get too high hopes, the Jenny Craig diet plan is not a miracle worker. She’s not a prophet, and
she doesn’t have a magic wand to make you get skinny.
This may come as discouraging news to you, but it’s true. The new and improved
melt-away-the-pounds-while-you-sleep machine doesn't work either.
There is no silver bullet, no cure-all drug to get rid of fat. Jenny Craig and her cronies would like
to make you think that their delivered meals or their programs or their pills or their machines are going to make
you loose weight. However, every time you see their ads on television or read them in magazines, have
you noticed how everyone advocates using their weight loss program in addition to a healthy diet and
exercise?
I’ll let you in on a little secret that Jenny Craig doesn’t want you to hear. The diet and exercise
that they recommend? That’s enough to lose weight. Shocking, I know, but true.
Regardless of what weight loss program you’re interested in, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Boflex, Medifast,
or any of the others, all of them work on one infallible principle:
If you burn more calories than you take in, you’re going to lose weight. It’s that simple.
The hit-and-miss television show The Biggest Looser highlighted this idea, dispelling the
fantasy of the before and after photos presented in the weight loss ads of overweight housewives or
beer-bellied husbands dropping a hundred pounds in a few weeks. It just isn’t true, which the little
disclaimer at the bottom of the screen, “results not typical,” hints at.
This isn’t to say that Jenny Craig and her contemporaries are completely off base. Both Jenny Craig
and Weight Watchers endeavor to help you lose weight by offering you pre-determined portions of food
which, in turn, limits the number of calories you eat every day. If you were paying attention you could
exhibit this sort of self-control on your own, but it’s admittedly easier to allow someone else to do
the number and calorie-crunching.
However, if you remember, diet is only part of the equation. If you’re still eating more calories
than you’re burning, you’re going to keep gaining weight. So go move around for awhile.
“Exercise” doesn’t have to be boring lifting weights at the gym, it can be everything you can imagine.
Walking your dog around the block a few more times each week;
Get your bike out of the garage an go for biking trip on a trail;
Go for a walk in the woods, take your camera with you if you are into photography;
Jump rope for twenty minutes every day;
Buy a Yoge DVD and practice yoga three times a week;
Whatever you decide to do, if you burn more calories than you eat, you’ll begin
to see the pounds fade away.

Weight Loss Supplements One of the first stimulants that was popular in weight loss supplements was ephedra. Ephedra is the precursor chemical to amphetamines, and has many of the same upper like effects on your body. After it became clear that ephedra based medication was causing people to have heart attacks or other fatal health complications, ephedra has become less popular as a weight loss pill ingredient. Be careful though, just because a diet pill advertises itself as ephedra free; doesn't mean that is stimulant free, as there are many different stimulants out there that also share the same risks as ephedra.

While some will vouch for their specific diet plan, others will pooh pooh all weight loss diets and call them fanciful or useless. But the fact remains that if you intend to burn that fat, a weight loss diet is your best bet.
