Vacation Prep: Test Drive Your Diet

February 24, 2016 By Shelley Zurek 65 Comments

EEK! Vacation is coming! How will you decide on your diet?

Vacation Prep Test Drive your Diet Jenny Craig

Vacation prepping and making diet choices. Wouldn’t you love a test drive?

Are you heading out for vacation in the next few months and hoping to get your get your body in tip-top shape? I don’t know about you, but I always find it confusing trying to pick the right vacation diet. One of my biggest issues is that I would like the support of a program and even the prepared foods, but which one to choose? I hate the thought of committing to a diet, especially a program, and not even knowing if the support is any good or what the food tastes like. Don’t you?

I have always wanted to be able to test drive a program. Wouldn’t it be great to get a sampling of the food and the counseling without committing?

Test Drive your Diet

I am excited to be working with Jenny Craig to let you know about the Jenny Craig 5 day weight loss starter kit that is exclusively available at Walmart! It’s a perfect way to test drive Jenny Craig. When I tried the kit, here’s my top level impressons:

  • I got to sample 20 actual Jenny Craig menu and snack items in the starter kit…now I really know what the Jenny Craig food tastes like (Top Level YUM!)
  • Just for buying the kit, I get a FREE month of consultation for any Jenny Craig Center in the US (or via telephone at Jenny Craig anywhere)…so I know what kind of support they will give me if I sign up
  • Going forward, I get a $50 food credit to use when I sign up with Jenny Craig…hey, who doesn’t like saying a little money?
  • The Jenny Craig starter kit is available exclusively at your local Walmart…so easy to try

Psst! Just for you, I test drove all 20 of the Jenny Craig Weight Loss 5 day Starter Kit items! I took pictures so you could see the actual food!

    Everything looks great! The cheese ravioli is something I’d love to try out. I’ve always wondered about Jenny Craig and whether the food was good or not.

    I wish this was available in Canada. I would love a test drive. I would like to try the Creamy Chicken and Corn Chowder and of course the Cheese Curls.

    The Jenny Craig starter kit looks like a wonderful way to try out the program and sample the food. It would even be great for taking along on vacation! Everything looks delicious too.

    That’s really neat that they let you try the diet out to see how you like the food. That’s definitely a plus.

    I’m not really looking to lose weight but the meals to look delicious. I think of any of them I’d like to try the cheese ravioli and the cheese curls. Hmmm, I notice a cheese theme!

    What a great way to test drive a new weight loss plan, they can be so expensive to get started with!! I would probably try the chicken salad first that is a favorite of mine!

    Oh goodness gracious it all looks downright AMAZING! It’s incredible how food that delicious looking can actually help you lose weight. If I didn’t have dietary restrictions/issues I would have no problem jumping on the bandwagon and trying this out! If I absolutely HAD to choose though, I’d love the chance to try that Cheese Ravioli 😀

    I’m all about the pasta! Hence the overload of carbs. I’m more of a nibbler throughout the day so the snack items would work best with my lifestyle. I normally only sit down for a full meal in the evenings.

    I had the chance to try this Starter Kit and I was impressed with the taste of the food. For me, if it doesn’t taste good I won’t be eating it. I loved the Swedish Meatballs especially.

    I think taking Jenny Craig for a spin would be great. I’ve heard that it works very well for almost everyone.

    I have heard great things about this program. I am not looking to diet right now, but if I am in the future, I would definitely try this.
