Jenny Craig Review #8 by Petra Lopez on July 26th, 2007 at 10:41 AM CDT

Name

I joined Jenny Craig at the Seattle Northgate location, and spoke with Sophia, the Mgr. I told Sophia that I was concerned that the food would not be quite right for me because I needed to monitor severe hypoglycemia (a prediabetic conditiion). I was uncomfortable joining a program that did not provide nutrition information (amount of salt, amount of fat, amount of sugar, or refined carbohydrates, which I have to monitor. She insisted that the program would work. I left with a weeks worth of food, but when I got home and read the lables, I realized, and my doctor agreed, that it would not be the right program for me, the food is high is sugar, high in salt, and refined carbohydrates. My doctor decided that I should work with a Registered Dietician instead. I join on June 10, 2007, on June 12, 2007, I returned to Sophia and asked for my money back, minus the food, which was not returnable. I told her my doctor had decided that I should work with a Registered Dietician instead, and mentioned that the food is food of ingredients that I have to avoid. She said she would refund me my money, minus the food, which she could not take back. I said okay, just refund me for what I can be refunded. Today is July 27, 2007, and I have yet to receive a credit to my credit card. NO REFUND YET. When I called the Center to talk with Sophia (on June 25,2007), she was not available, but I was told by the attendee that Corporate Headquarters is very slow about giving people their refunds. I asked that she have Sophia call me about what happened to my refund and I have yet to get a call back from Sophia (who is the Mgr at the location), regarding my refund. Petra

Jenny Craig Review #7 by Carol A. Price on July 26th, 2007 at 10:20 AM CDT

JC food is not lactose free and it contains too much sugar...e.g., the sweet sticky strawberry breakfast bar which repeated on me. I got a refund on on the sign-up fee, but not on the food. I was able to lose slowly by counting calories, eating healthy food, eliminating sugars and fats, and writing down everything I ate. (1200 calories per day) We need to watch out for that sugary food provided in the JC diet -- there's too much sugar in the American diet already. That's why so many people have Type II diabetes. I found the counselor completely inadequate at the JC place I went to. She had no empathy and no expertise.

I just wanted to give you feedback about my experience with Jenny Craig. HORRIBLE! I don't know how anyone with taste buds stays on this diet. And MOST annoying is, things you THINK you'll like (i.e. I love tuna) that turn out to be NASTY cannot be returned if you buy MULTIPLES of this cat-food like substance. Your website caught my eye because of someone's comment about Jenny and I wanted to add my two cents.
