Jenny Craig vs. South Beach?

Question

Which one is better? Which one will help me lose faster?

Answer 1

Actually, the one you find easiest to stick with will be the best one for you. You might find the south beach diet too restrictive. With Jenny Craig, you might find buying the food too expensive. I suggest you read up on them and then make your decision.

Here are the basics of the south beach diet:

and Jenny Craig:

The key to the perfect diet and to which one will help you lose weight faster is finding a diet:
1. you can actually live with
2. that is a lifestyle change...not a quick fix
3. that allows some wiggle room for an occasional "cheat" day
4. that provides support so you don't feel you are in it alone
5. that isn't composed of all the foods you hate
6. that is simple to follow...some are so complicated i.e. you can't have food A at the same time as food B but you can have food B with food C...you need to be a nutrition expert to keep all the allowed combinations straight
7. that fits your lifestyle...if you are always on the go, a diet with pre-packaged foods (Jenny Craig, nutrisystem, etc) may work best

Don't forget that there are also many other options such as the Atkins diet, sugarbusters, medifast, LA weight loss, weight watchers and more. My husband has lost more than 50 pounds with LA weight loss!

Whatever diet you decide on, good luck!

Answer 2

Tried them all. Weight Watchers got me going a couple of years ago. I lost 25 pounds on it. It's all about burning more than you take in. Within the last year I lost 10 more pounds walking 3 or 4 days a week for 30 minutes and eating cereal for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, and an evening meal with a small dessert. Just adding walking and nothing else will make you lose it real slow. And then it stays off. Once you start to consistantly exercise you don' t want to mess up all the good you did. God Bless. Oh yeah, pray about it too.
