Aretha Franklin goes on Jenny Craig
The “Queen of Soul,” Aretha Franklin, has signed up with Jenny Craig in preparation for her upcoming wedding to boyfriend Willie Wilkerson next month. She tells Sister 2 Sister magazine “I’m at 1,750 calories a day and I’m starving. You just have to get used to portions and changing your lifestyle.”
On her previous experience with Jenny
“I lost 23 or 24 pounds to begin with, but it’s kind of a strain when you get to 23 or 24 pounds. That’s why I got off of it. It’s a strain because you’re eating the Jenny Craig-type meals, which are very good, but you can only eat them for so long before you want some barbecue ribs or some pigs feet. Once you get off that Jenny Craig thing and you start eating what you’ve been eating, it’s all over.”
We wish Aretha the best of luck but, by not adopting lifestyle changes she can live with, this sounds like a temporary fix.

No offence, but Aretha can’t expect to just diet and then go back to her normal diet. Hopefully she will start adopting this healthy lifestyle for life!
