Having been on far more diets in my lifetime than I can count, including Jenny Craig and other such programs, I’ve learned some tough lessons. For the most part, I found many plans ridiculously temporary . . . and even harmful, on many levels.
And with all apologies to Valerie Bertinelli, who obviously got her weight under control using the Jenny Craig program, I relate more to Kirstie Alley. Kirstie lost weight as their spokesperson, only to gain it back and then some. She later made critical comments about the processed foods and went on to develop her “organic” program. (She again lost the weight using her own system.)
As for my experience, I found the weight loss torturously slow, and I felt genuinely icky eating that mostly-packaged, very processed food. I couldn’t stick to it for too long, which made it a recipe for metabolic disaster.
I’d simply like to share the link to the eye-opening blog, written by a former weight loss counselor, that really hits the nail on the head for millions of us. . . . I should write and thank her, as did many others.
