Tip the Balance in your Favor!
 

Think of your absolute favorite food -- the one thing you wish a magic wand could render fat- and calorie-free. Now imagine that gooey sundae or cheesy pizza is the only thing you can eat, day after day, forever and ever. Bet you it would lose its appeal round about day two. And that's the problem with many extreme diets. The choices are so limited that you soon tire of them. Besides, they're so nutritionally out of whack, you aren't getting a balanced range of nutrients. Balance is the beauty of the Jenny Craig diet program. The menu is based on a wide variety of foods including meat and meat substitutes, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dairy and fat. It's a diet plan designed to let you make smart choices even when you're away from home.
