• The Jenny Craig weight loss regime addresses three basic parts of life: food, body and mind. Nutritious food is eaten in small portions while physical activity for the body is encouraged; together they increase energy and balance in one's life.

    The regimen is offered in two forms; the at-home system offers information and support online and over the phone, while some participants choose to meet face to face with counselors at their nearby Jenny Craig Center.
