Here I am on week #2 of my Jenny Craig Journey, a week I have been really looking forward to. This is the week my coach and I worked together to tailor the Jenny Craig My Rapid Results Program to fit my personal weight loss journey.  My Jenny Craig DNA Weight Loss Kit results just came back and using that information, along with tips for success from my Jenny Craig Coach, we mapped out a plan that I will adapt into my day-to-day.

My Plan in a Nutshell

  • Jenny Craig Consultant: I meet each week via phone with my Jenny Craig Consultant Ashley. We use this time to go over my results for the past week, talk about any triumphs and/or hurdles I encountered, make plans and set goals for the following week.
  • Jenny Craig Weekly Meal Plan: The Jenny Craig meal plan includes 3 meals and 2 snacks every singe day. (My meals are mailed to me two weeks at a time, which makes this plan even more convenient. Also... home delivery is free for new and current Jenny Craig customers!) Sticking to the meal plan is important because my Jenny Craig DNA Weight Loss Kit results indicate that my body's weight loss efficiency is below average. Ultimately, that means it may be more difficult for me to lose weight. As a solution, my consultant recommends that I eat small amounts over the course of a 12 hour period to help my metabolism get back on track. 
  • Fresh Produce: My consultant recommends I include lots of vegetables and some fruits to round out my well balanced diet. When I fill up on veggies and fruit, I don't feel full and experience less cravings for simple carbs like candy and sugary drinks. 
  • Weight Training Exercise:  My DNA Weight Loss Kit results showed that my body responds really well to strength training. Knowing this encouraged me to dust off my handheld weights and put them to use more frequently.
  • Get Better Sleep. Sleep also has a big impact on a person's health. The plan is for me to stay away from any media two hours before bedtime, choosing to pick up a book at that time instead. I may even incorporate a restorative yoga class into my end-of-day routine.

It is true, the Jenny Craig meal plan is a big part of what makes the program successful, but the plan is so much more than just ready to go, delicious meals. It's the relationship with your coach and the plan she helps you build that will generate the most notable results.
