NutriSystem vs. Jenny Craig

Wondering about NutriSystem vs. Jenny Craig ?

Another week gone by with a total of 9 weeks on the NutriSystem program, whoa! I don’t have much to report for this week, except for more traveling and an extremely busy schedule. But, that is life right? Everyone has a {chaotic} story. Which is why, and I may sound repetitive at this point, I really like the NutriSystem program. It’s convenient – meaning instead of adding to the chaos, it works with it. And, the meals are delicious, so there’s no sacrifice or hassle. It’s not a quick fix – there’s no supplements, odd pills, shakes, fasting, juices, or deprivation. It’s REAL portion controlled food. Pastas, cereals, soups, meat & potatoes, hamburgers – and even daily desserts.

Before starting NutriSystem, I often wondered how it compared to another program on the market, Jenny Craig. And, I was surprised to learn that there is a huge difference between the two, in convenience and price. I can’t remark on the others’ food quality as I haven’t tried it, but when it comes to fitting into my busy schedule and the need to save a buck when I can – here’s another reason why I am partial to NutriSystem. Though this is a US-based chart, it’s the same in Canada, except the dollar exchange. Have a look at the chart and see for yourself…

Kinda surprising that there’s such a huge difference, isn’t it? I wouldn’t like the aspect of memberships, picking up my own food and paying a higher cost. As a Mom of 3, I am very happy on the NutriSystem program and like that it follows the science of the Glycemic Index. It works – even when traveling and extra activities sneak their way into an already busy life. And I keep losing weight too…

Week 9 results: -.5 lbs
Total weight loss to date: -19.5 lbs

I was hoping to get to that -20lb mark this week, but I am still very happy with a .5 weight loss. This just makes me want to do even better for next week! 🙂

Nutrisystem is providing their program free of charge for my participation in the Nutrisystem Canada Blogging Program. All opinions regarding my experience are 100% my own.
