Diet Information: Weight Watchers

Weight Watchers is one of the World's most popular weight loss programmes and has been around since the 1960s. The concept of Weight Watchers is not to offer a "quick-fix" solution to weight related problems, but more about adopting a healthier eating plan (that also will help you lose, then maintain your new, weight).

The Weight Watchers programme is about developing a healthy lifestyle, includes mental, emotional, and physical health.

The dietary programme is a lot about group support and you are expected to attend regular meetings for weigh-ins and motivation. Most foods are allowed, each of which has a point value.

When you attend your first meeting, you will be given an amount of points you are allowed to consume every day. Some types of physical exercise will cancel out some of the points consumed, so the more exercise you get, in theory, the more you can eat!

The dietary programme is


also good as it allows some flexibility with the points. For example, when you have a special occasion coming up.

The emphasis of the weight loss plan is very much on the points, not on what foods you eat. And so you are encourage to plan your meals using the points system. As there are very little foods that are actually restricted on this diet, it is probably one of the easier diet programmes to follow.

Many dieters also find the group support given at the meetings invaluable. However, if you are happy to do the diet on your own, you can attend online meetings – great if you are short of time or work irregular hours.
