Diet plan fight! Who should win Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers?
Finally a fight not involving Conan or Jay.
Weight Watchers International has squared up in an epic battle against diet plan rival Jenny Craig.
It claims a Jenny Craig commercial starring Valerie Bertinelli is misleading and deceptive.
In other words, Weight Watchers says Jenny Craig is a big, fat liar.
Weight Watchers takes issue with statements about a study comparing Weight Watchers current weight-loss program and Jenny Craig’s pre-packaged meals system, according to the AP.
According to a court filing described by Bloomberg News, Bertinelli dons a lab coat and says the following referring to Weight Watchers:
“Jenny Craig clients lost, on average, over twice as much weight as those on the largest weight-loss program.”
This all begs a very important question: which of the two diet plans do you think work best?
The only the other thing that would make this better is if Nutrisystem and its pitch woman Marie Osmond got involved.
Imagine the weight that would be lost during a three-way wrestling match.
