JennyCraig®.com Review
Review In a Nutshell
The Jennycraig.com Web site offers information on their locally-based and "Jenny Direct" at-home programs. Potential customers can do at-a-glance comparisons of programs and membership levels, while existing Jenny Craig members will appreciate the support and tools offered on the site.
Overall Comparison Points
Besides weight loss program information, Jennycraig.com features success stories, free recipes, an online store, and a free menu planner. If you're a Kirstie Alley fan, you can also watch her irreverent commercials via the site and read her blog. Or you can submit your Jenny Craig weight loss story for your own shot at a T.V. commercial or magazine spot.
Design Perspective
Overall Jennycraig.com com is a well-designed site: attractive, easy to navigate, and fairly well-rounded. There is perhaps to much visual focus on the Kirstie Alley photographs, and some of the links are redundant (many will lead you to a "have a Jenny Craig consultant call you" form).
Online Tools Perspective
Jennycraig.com offers several online tools, including recipes, menu planner, interactive journal, online weight tracker, message board, chat-room, and newsletter. You can use these tools for free, but you will have to sign up to do so, logging in when you want to use the tools.
Program Perspective
The Jenny Craig programs involve buying prepackaged foods and getting advice/support from a counselor on a weekly basis. Food "sample packages" can be ordered through Jennycraig.com by non-members interested in testing out some of the food items available.
Conclusion
Jennycraig.com forms a good complement to the Jenny Craig programs if you're already a member. If you're considering becoming a member, you can access a point-form overview of the programs through the site, as well as some brief FAQs (frequently asked questions), but to get in-depth information you will be encouraged to call their toll-free number, or have a Jenny Craig "consultant" call you.
Our Top Recommendation
Week of: 09-10-2010
eDiets - eDiets sees clearly that diet and weight loss programs are highly individual choices. Instead of a one size fits all approach, they provide a wide variety of choices and plans. We've found that customization, convenience and cost are huge factors for many seeking weight loss, and eDiets excels in all three of these areas. Their website contains solid information on food, exercise, and lifestyle change, member chat rooms, online counselors and nutritionists. Their free diet profile is a great way to get started.
