According to the latest Consumer Reports, Jenny Craig, the program that combines counseling with a portion-controlled regimen of pre-made foods supplemented by home cooked sides, has been designated a Ratings winner by Consumer Reports Health.
For those of you who aren't familiar with how Consumer Reports Health works, diet Ratings are based on adherence to nutritional guidelines set forth by the 2010 U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and weight loss and drop-out rates, both short-term and long-term clinical trials. The point of the report, according to Nancy Metcalf, senior program editor for Consumer Reports Health is to "give dieters a side-by-side comparison of the main diet programs so they can choose for themselves".
Jenny Craig surpassed all other popular diets because of a two-year clinical trial of 332 diets published int he Journal of the American Medical Association that found 92 per cent of participants stuck with the plan for two years. As a result, they ended up shaving off an average of 8 percent of their weight while following the program.
