Jenny Craig diet

Jenny Craig offers its personal product of solo-packed meals referred to as the Jenny Cuisine. Jenny Craig states that the reason behind this pre-packaged food is to teach participants regarding healthy nourishment and to exercise self-control in serving sizes.

Together with the Jenny Cuisine and nibbles or sweets, you can also eat fruits, veggies, and dairy products low in fat, which you can buy from the supermarket.

The only thing with Jenny Craig though is that it can be very high-priced. It is hard to give an approximation on the actual price of one program. It is due to the fact that their online site does not give much information about their prices. They will not give detailed information about the plan, unless you are already talking to them over the phone, or you are already in their office. The membership fees can be as high as $300, depending on which plan you choose. And then, you also need to purchase every food included in the plan, that costs at around $10 to $15 a day, apart from the fruits, veggies, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and add-ons they recommend you to consume to maintain a balanced diet. Furthermore, you need to purchase a 28-day stock of meals upon registration, regardless of what diet plan you select. Read the rest of this entry »

Onion Cream Treats New Stretch Marks

By Charlene Laino

March 11, 2010 (Miami Beach, Fla.) — A moisturizing cream whose active ingredient is extract of onion can help take the redness out of new stretch marks.

New stretch marks were also softer and smoother in 54 women who used the cream for three months, says Zoe Draelos, MD, a consulting professor of dermatology at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C.

“The stretch marks did not go away,” she tells WebMD. “But [after several weeks of treatment], the cream made them look and feel better,” she says.

The study, funded by Merz Pharmaceuticals, which makes the cream, was presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology. Draelos has served as a consultant to Merz.
