The reason why I say neither is that most times when people go on Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers they give the power away to the "food or diet".  The power is in taking control and responsibility for ones self.  No fitness or fat loss plan will ever work long term  unless it includes weight training, stretching, interval cardio training, goal setting and positive mindset, and social support (you will turn into who you hang around).

The odds that any of the spokespeople for Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers actually ate their respective companyies food exclusively is very, very low.  Usually these paid spokespeople do crash courses of working out, diet pills, and extreme things to drop the weight.  They become spokespeople for the food or supplement company for the money and the exposure. 

Competitive drug free bodybuilders and athletes know proper nutrition better than dieticians, doctors, or people who teach it.  They are in the trenches and they just do it.

BODYBUILDING NUTRITION

To gain muscle and lose fat you must;

• Take in slightly less calories than you are burning

• Consume higher quality calories. Eat more natural unprocessed foods that don’t come wrapped in a box. If it rots, it’s good for you: Lean (protein with low amount of fat, aka chicken & turkey breasts, lean beef, eggs), Green (vegetable, green beans, salads, apples), & Marine (fish).

• Small meals often. You must eventually work up to 5-6 small meals per day; about every 3-4 hours

• Macronutrient Profile- Every meal you eat should contain protein and carbs combined together. How much? A starting point would be;

1. Most women and under 130 lb. men 15-20 grams of protein in each meal
2. 130 lb. — 165 lb. men 20-30 grams of protein in each meal
3. 170 lb. and up 30-45 grams of protein in each meal

One of the biggest “nutrition Secrets” in the Bodybuilding world is a technique called carb cycling. In a nut shell you have two different types of carbs.

Starchy carbs—Sources are brown & wild rice, oatmeal, whole grain pasta, sweet potatoes / yams

Non-starchy carbs—Sources are veggies, grean beans, salads, apples, grape-fruit

Cycle your calories by eating only non starchy carbs with your protein on Interval Cardio days and throw in your starchy carbs only on days you train intensely with weights. This is absolutely t he secret for you to keep your metabolism revved up while you gain muscle and lose fat.

You can work-out till your blue in the face but if you do not incorporate Interval Cardio (done first thing in the morning in a fasted state), intense functional multi-joint, compound exercises, small healthy meals often with protein and carbs combined together, positive mindset, goal setting & social support (you will turn into who you hang around) you will not change your body much. Physique development is about losing fat
(to show the shape of the muscle) as much if not more than building muscle. It is definitely a combination of the two.

But weight loss is irrelevant if dieters just put the weight back on. I urge dieters, from the very beginning, to adopt a very healthy eating plan they can keep up for life. It's too late for almost everyone to learn new eating habits and a lifetime way of eating once you have lost weight.

All 'groups' such as Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers can be very supportive of individuals who are focused on weight loss. Much of this positive effect is psychological, in terms of the healthy emotional support they provide, along with being 'accountable' due to weigh in's, etc. In addition, their 'portion control' helps greatly in terms of caloric intake. However, many of the prepared foods that these programs offer contain alot of potentially toxic chemicals, and allergens, (although they are approved by the FDA), such as artificial sweeteners, fillers and preservatives, although the meals are balanced in terms of flavor, variety and caloric control.

An individual cannot eat a Jenny Craig diet meal every day for the rest of their life.  Weight Watchers is portion control by counting points.  This method of portion control emphasizes food all day long.  People get tired of this, therefore, Weight Watchers is famous for going on their program and going off their program, just like all diets.Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers is only a temporary fix.  Being overweight has nothing to do with food, but everything to do with YOU, and how you think about food, how you use food, and your relationship with food.  Until your relationship with food is changed, you will never get out of the bondage of being overweight.  The diet industry is worth $93 Billion Dollars.  My question is: If this is so, why do we have an obesity epidemic in this country? If diets worked, we would only need the first one.
