The cost 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 advertising an interesting statistic, 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.

I spoke to a Jenny Craig representative on September 28, 2008 and was provided with information about the program’s costs. The first option described by the representative is the 20 pounds for $20 program. This is a 10 week program that includes weekly meeting expenses with a weight loss consultant but does not include meals.

The meals cost between $12 and $18 everyday. For this price you get three meals, dessert, vitamin bars, and snacks. The meals themselves are frozen entres developed by Jenny Craig after years of trial and error. A majority people find them tasty, satisfying, and sizable. If at the end of 10 weeks you haven’t reached your weight loss goal you can sign up for additional meal plans but you will be paying additional costs.

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.

Barbara, our Jenny Craig representative, emphasizes that the rewards plan discount really adds up quickly. She says that because of the discount you will more than make up the $359 sign-up fee with your savings on food. As you can see the Jenny Craig program does have associated costs but their claim that you will only spend one dollar more per day on food seems fairly reasonable.
