New weight loss programme launches in the UK
Following success in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the Jenny Craig weight management programme is set to transform dieting in the UK where 61.4% of adults are overweight and almost a quarter (24.5%) of adults are obese.
Proven in a published clinical trial to be three times more effective than dieting alone, the Jenny Craig programme brings a new, comprehensive, science-based approach to healthy weight-loss and long-term weight maintenance.
Clients could expect to benefit from a healthy rate of weight loss of up to two pounds per week as well as wider health benefits including:
• Reduced total cholesterol levels
• Improved physical fitness
• Increased fruit and vegetable consumption
Supported by Dr Ian Campbell, one of the UK’s leading experts on weight management and obesity, the launch of Jenny Craig in the UK marks a major milestone in the history of dieting.
“The Jenny Craig programme is a very significant advance in UK weight management and provides a great option for people wanting to regain control of their weight. A recent clinical trial has shown the Jenny Craig programme to be three times more effective than dieting alone. With professional one-to-one consultations and delicious foods delivered to your door, the Jenny Craig programme is designed to help people lose weight and keep it off.” comments Dr Ian Campbell.
What makes Jenny Craig unique?
The combination of a personal Jenny Craig Weight Management Coach, delicious food delivered to your door with the unique Food-Body-Mind approach makes the Jenny Craig programme a winning recipe for dieters in the UK.
The holistic Food-Body-Mind approach is based on three pillars; portion-controlled nutritionally balanced food, increased physical activity and long-term behaviour change, all of which are supported by one-to-one personal consultations. Success for Jenny Craig is a client who has achieved their desired healthy body weight having learnt to manage their diet, exercise and mindset in order to help them maintain their weight loss in the long-term.
One-to-one consultations
Personal weight management coaches make the Jenny Craig programme unique. During private, weekly one-to-one telephone consultations the personal coach will customise the programme and menus to suit their client’s needs as well as providing help and encouragement. Jenny Craig personal coaches work with clients as partners in lifestyle change getting to the root of the weight management challenge, understanding personal viewpoints and offering skills, strategies and information to overcome challenges and enhance success. Key to long-term successful weight management, the personal weight management coaches impart skills to empower clients to take control of their weight.
Tasty food
Delicious food helps clients stick to the Jenny Craig programme. Jenny Craig dieticians have created a range of nutritionally balanced, portion-controlled meals including great tasting favourites such as Chilli Con Carne and Thai Chicken Curry. The range also includes snacks meaning clients are less likely to cheat in between meals. There is a wide variety of products in the range including breakfast, lunches, dinners and snacks as well as options for vegetarians. All meals are made in the UK using fine quality ingredients.
There are a range of menu plans available from 1200 - 2300 calories per day depending on individual needs. The nutritionally balanced menu plans provide 50-60% carbohydrate, 20-30% protein and 20-30% fat per day.
Convenience
Home delivery means the Jenny Craig programme couldn’t be more convenient. Personalised, portion-controlled meals and snacks are sent direct to home or office, whichever is most convenient, on a monthly or fortnightly basis. Then it’s simply of a case of heating meals in a saucepan or microwave, enjoying the snacks and adding fruit, vegetables and dairy as per the menu plan. Clients on the Jenny Craig programme are encouraged to include five portions of fruit and vegetables per day as part of a healthy balanced diet.
The Jenny Craig programme advocates a healthy, balanced diet along with exercise, helping clients achieve a weight loss of one to two pounds a week. This is aligned with Department of Health and National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NIHCE) guidelines for weight loss. The programme also meets the government’s five-a-day guidance for fruit and vegetables. Karen Barber, Jenny Craig’s nutritionist comments: “Jenny Craig works because it is so simple - great tasting food and excellent guidance and support from our personal weight management coaches.”
Success Story
Michelle P, age 35, lost three and a half stone over six months on the Jenny Craig programme in the US. She has kept the weight off for over 18 months to date.
“I lost three and a half stone on the programme. What I valued the most was the support of my consultant. What impressed me the most was the food. It really tasted delicious. I tried many other diets and they all failed. It was only when I went on the Jenny Craig programme that I finally shed my excess pounds... I have kept them off for over a year and a half. I went from ‘body loathing to body loving’ because of Jenny Craig.”
