WEIGHT MANAGEMENT: running is one of the physical activity part of the personalised programme provided by Jenny Craig.

As weight control is a multi-faceted challenge, it requires a multi-faceted solution like Jenny Craig, the personalised weight management business.

Acquired by Nestlé Nutrition in 2006, Jenny Craig hopes to change lives by addressing three areas critical to effective weight loss:

• Food – promoting a healthy relationship with food, and calorie- and portion-controlled food products;
• Body – a personalised programme of physical activity;
• Mind – a balanced approach to living developed through personal advice and motivation provided by 3500 consultants at approximately 700 centres, on the telephone via the Jenny Direct call centre and through online information.

The nutrition component reflects the recommendations of major health organisations, including the Dietary Guidelines for Americans published in 2005 and the Dietary Reference Intakes issued by the Institute of Medicine in 2002.

Research by the University of California, San Diego shows that Jenny Craig successfully facilitates an 8% weight loss after six months, a reduction maintained after one year. This loss falls within the 5–10% rate of weight loss identified by external research that, when combined with moderate exercise, reduces the risk of type II diabetes by 58%.
