How to Use Jenny Craig After Pregnancy

  Have your doctor determine whether or not a weight-loss program is safe for you after your pregnancy. If you are breastfeeding, a doctor's approval may be required to start the program and he will need to recommend a vitamin supplement.

• 2

  Call (800) 597-JENNY for a free consultation. Your program director will help you determine a weight-loss plan based on your nutritional needs, desired amount of weight loss, eating style and activity level.

• 3

  Begin the program by eating the provided meals that are tailored to your needs.

• 4

  Exercise moderately, increasing gradually throughout the program by adding strength-training exercises.

• 5

  Participate in weekly meetings with a consultant to monitor your progress. These can be done in person or over the telephone.

• 6

  Halfway through the Jenny Craig program, prepare yourself for planning and making your own meals. You will need to demonstrate to your consultant that you are able to do this.

• 7

  Transition out of the Jenny Craig program once you have reached your goal weight. You will begin to receive fewer Jenny Craig meals and will receive a maintenance menu.
