This is also a well-know dieting plan. The idea is to reach a balance of hormone level. And the way to do that is to eat the right mix of foods.

The diet is named after the one who started it - Jenny Craig. The basic concept is that you can get a balance diet if you buy the pre-packaged food from her company. However, it is not something inexpensive. You will need to spend something like $100 per week. Of course the diet is quite good. Yet the fact is that you can get a diet of the same quality if you can stick to some low-calorie foods, which you can buy in the grocery store or supermarket in a much lower price.
