I'm so sick of this stuff. Great, you can get a used-to-be celeb to endorse your diet plan! Whoopy!. It's really aggravating. People need to realize that there is a Smart Way to Lose Weight and the not so smart way, which includes J.C.

There are two women in my office on it, and the group of us eats lunch together every day. One has lost a lot, 50 or so pounds, and wants to lose 10 more. She looks great and I don't think she needs to lose it, but she has been on JC for a YEAR to lose this last 10! It's all I can do to say, "Really?" She still goes faithfully to weigh in each week. I can only imagine how much $ this has cost her and how much wonderful, rich, organic, healthy food she could have bought with half of that money! Every day she has a salad and nukes some sort of hot pocket thing that has "processed" written all over it. The JC ladies also do no exercise. Well, I could go on...I'm certainly not "there" in my journey to be casting aspersions but it does seem as though the "work" of weight loss should be shouldered by the recipient.

As I tell my clients, focusing on the quantity you eat instead of the quality of what you eat may lead to short term weight loss, but long term frustration. Most people eat way too much highly processed crap, go on a diet and lose weight by eating smaller amounts of highly processed crap, then gain the weight back when they go back to eating more crap. It doesn't matter if it comes from the grocery store or Jenny Craig; highly processed crap is still highly processed crap. When people up the quality of what they eat and focus on fruits, veggies, fish, meat, poultry, eggs, nuts, seeds, etc., they never need to consider stupidity like Jenny Craig again. ~Dave .-= Dave Soucy´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DaveSoucy/~3/xe10RMbMgTg/" rel="nofollow">What You Should Do Before You Cut Calories</a> =-.

Though I am not against a diet or commenting that one is fat you made some excellent points about many of these food plans that supply all the food. People not only ignore the "why" in eating they "lose out" on learning how to shop for, prep and cook their own food. So unless you're going to stick with Jenny forever...it's not going to work. Good post. As a nutritionist, I too am turned off by some of the silly weight loss segments on TV.
