Diet Program Feedback Needed Please

[Kathytnt]

Hi Gang - As you know I am applying to a couple of weight loss centers for jobs. I have not tried all these programs. One is pretty new

I am kind of leaning a little more toward Medifast but my only actual interview appt so far is with Jenny Craig - I already passed the phone interview process

Jenny Craig
Medifast
Pure Weight Loss aka LA Weight Loss Centersi

I would like your feedback on the programs

Thanks, Kathy

Hi,

I have not tried the other two, but I did LA Weightloss for awhile before I was pregnant and it worked, but you have to follow the program perfectly. I really liked my consultant, she was very nice and not snotty if I fell off the plan. The other ladies really pushed the supplements (vitamins, etc) and I don't think you should take all those supplements, because then it becomes a lot harder to keep the weight off once you've reached your goal. I don't think it would be a bad place to work. That's just my two cents, good luck with the job search.

I haven't done any of these three, but did do a Medical Weight Loss Clinic here in Michigan several years ago. It did work, but you have to commit to eating what's one the list, etc.

Like other places, the "assistants" really push what they call "nutrients" It was more of a sales job for them.

Well there is a difference between vitamins and snack bars - The job I am applying for is not a weight loss counselor - It is more customer care. I am not sure I would like the food selling side

I know at Medifast the WL counselors don't push stuff they are more counselor but alas I have not heard back from them yet.

Vitamins are needed but food based ones are best - I am sure most centers sell synthetic vitaminsre
