Lose Weight Programs - Which One is Worth the Money?

By Patsie Adams

There are so many lose weight programs available. But which one will work best for you? This article will give you the lowdown on the most popular weight loss regimens so you can make the right decision.

First of all, there are any number of dieting books that come out each year. These range from no carbs to all carbs and everything in between. Some are based on specific food combinations. Others are based on strict calorie limitations.

Go with your instincts. If the book or program makes sense to you and seems to fit your lifestyle, go and try it out. Give it at least two weeks to a months time to get a real feel for how it may work - or not - for you.

The more popular diet books inevitably lead to paid membership web sites, supplements, and other money making ventures. If a diet has been successful for you, it may make sense to join. However, you should stick to the books plan for a few weeks before investing more money in the program.

Some programs are based on meetings. In Weight Watchers, for example, you can have a set number of calories (divided into Points) on a daily basis. Weekly meetings are held for weigh-ins, progress assessment and motivation.

If you go for Weight Watchers, consider going to at least three meetings and choose different schedules before you settle on one. You will notice different meeting leaders have different styles. Even the crowd at a meeting can affect the tone, so find a group you can jive with

Jenny Craig is a great lose weight program for busy people who want to be able to microwave their meals. Everything - except a few products from the produce aisle and milk - is included with the program. You will also meet one-on-one with a consultant to track your progress and do the weekly weigh-in.

Jenny Craig will come with a steeper price though. Be ready to shell out about $150 per week on Jenny Food then add about $30 to $50 for grocery store necessities. Still, the food is quite good. Some call it good enough for any restaurant.

Nutrisystem provides a similar program at a lower cost. The food is shipped to you four weeks at a time. Three fourths of the meals are shelf stable (i.e. freeze dried) and dont need to be refrigerated. A new component to the system is their frozen food which composes one week of food each month that you can spread out through the month.

Some have been disappointed by Nutrisystem's freeze dried food. But, this is a program that's easier on the pocket compared with Jenny Craig.

There are so many lose weight programs around that you have to pick and choose what works best for you. Dont swing from diet to diet. Instead, pick a plan that feels right and stick to it for the long run or until you meet your weight goals.

When you've made the right decision and invested your money on a lose weight program, stick to it. Because you do want to lose that weight as well as make the most of your time, effort and money. - 17274
