How Jenny Craig “eggs on” dieters over Easter

Nobody should have to completely ban themselves from Easter eggs and Hot Cross Buns, just because they are trying to get in shape. JENNY CRAIG dietitian Jacqui Morrell says: “To keep morale high and so dieters don’t feel deprived, we suggest that dieters can treat themselves from time to time. The trick is not to overdose on treats and to keep in mind that there is more to Easter than chocolate.” The weight loss experts have put together the following Easter Survival Manifesto to help people with their diet plans during Easter.

  1. Easter is the end of lent, so don’t start indulging before Easter Day.
  2. Egg yourself on to reach a specific goal that you would like to achieve before Easter. Aim for a weight loss of 1 to 2lbs per week.
  3. One Hot Cross Bun is the equivalent of two slices of bread and contains a lot less fat than a croissant.
  4. Authentic Easter eggs are decorated boiled eggs. This chocolate free variety is wonderful at the breakfast table. For inspiration, look up how the Orthodox Greeks dye their eggs red with onion skins.
  5. Outdoor egg hunts are a fun way to burn a couple of extra calories.
  6. The key to effective portion control is: quality over quantity.
  7. Bonnets, bunnies, chicken! Have some fun and get active by making some Easter decorations with your kids.
  8. Think about the whole experience when you eat your Easter treat. Take time to unwrap it and enjoy it!
  9. Share your treats, so there is less for you!
  10. To avoid temptation, give away your leftover treats after Easter Monday.

Mel B Is One Red Hot Mama This Mother’s Day!

As mums around the UK prepare to celebrate Mother’s Day, Scary Spice Mel B’s is delighted to unveil her new body and prove that – with a helping hand from JENNY CRAIG’s diet plan – being a yummy mummy is possible for any woman.

Scary Spice’s Amazing 33lb Weight Loss With Jenny Craig

Just six months after the birth of her daughter, Mel has lost an impressive 33lbs and reached her goal weight of 9 stone 4lbs.

“Since Spice Girls, I’ve had three adorable baby girls and you know what, as a mum it’s ok to ask for help losing weight,” says Mel.

For Mel, it was JENNY CRAIG’S unique support system – with her personal consultant and tailored eating plans – that really made the difference.

“Us mums think we can do everything.  Well, let me tell you, calling JENNY CRAIG was the best thing I ever did.  I didn’t have to worry about planning healthy meals, preparing or measuring food or even counting points.  It was all done for me and delivered – AND I had a consultant keeping me on track.  JENNY CRAIG helped me take away the worry out of losing weight,” Mel continues.

“Now I’ve lost the weight, I feel like I can take on the world.  My energy levels have skyrocketed and my brain is firing on all cylinders.  I feel I can now be the best mum possible.”

It’s fair to say that Mel is absolutely over the moon with her new look.

“My body is not only back to the shape it used to be, I actually feel better than before because I know I have earned it; it’s not something I just woke up to and BAM – there it was.  I’ve been pregnant and exhausted with my work and had next to no sleep looking after my gorgeous baby, but JENNY CRAIG has allowed me to look after myself.”

“JENNY CRAIG  has not only been a helping hand, it’s been my saviour!” Mel said.

“Thanks to JENNY CRAIG, I can easily slide into my old jeans – the ones my 13 year old daughter Pheonix has been ‘borrowing’ for the past 15 months!  My husband Stephen is beyond excited!  He’s loving my new body and has showered me with sexy lingerie.  Girls – if you’ve got it, flaunt it to the man you love.  Don’t lose the fun – lose the weight!”

JENNY CRAIG is running a 50% special offer until April 30th 2012, so if you want to be a yummy mummy, you can start losing weight with a two week Programme for just £38.50 a week.  Call 0800 088 2145 or visit www.jennycraig.co.uk for more information.
