Weight Watchers

Weight Watchers is the best weight loss program as far as I'm concerned. It is a "sane" healthy way to lose your weight and their plan allows you a LARGE variety of foods that are healthy, and treats once in awhile. There is no such thing in as "can't eat this or that." You are allowed to incorporate any foods into your plan with moderation. Of course most of your selections of daily food should all be healthy 90% of the time.

Weight Watchers has been around now for the past 45 years or so. With their old plan back then, the diet consisted of fish products and very strict low calorie meal plans. But in the last 20 or so years, the program has changed drastically. They have three plans now which I am well familiar with. They are:

The Flex Plan This is the plan in which you count points for foods eaten. You get an alloted number of points per day according to your current weight and whether you are male or female. Then there is also 35 bonus points that you may stretch out over the week allowing you room to go over, or if you want to use them for a special treat. You get a lot of literature that instructs you along with your leader at the meetings on wholesome, healthy foods. They have eating out guides as well to guide you for restaurant choices. You get exercise guides as well, and by the way, exercising on any Weight Watcher plan for at least 15 minutes or more, earns bonus food points!

Core Plan is a plan where you eat healthy foods especially those foods that are natural and non-packaged. Foods that are not on the core list, have a point value. The difference in this plan is that the 35 flex points have to be counted in on the foods you are eating that are not Core.

The Momentum Plan is brand new. This plan combines both the flex and core plans together into one. Eating high fiber is encouraged so that you stay fuller longer. The plan dwells on the food guide pyramid

On-line programs are possible with this food plan. With online services you get meal-tracking as you do in the meeting, support message boards, weight trackers, and ideas for planning your meals. There is also an exercise tracker where you can record your daily activity.

In this program, water is also emphasized strongly for the flushing of the system and to help stay full.

What type of weight loss will you have?

The weight loss on this plan is slow, about 1-2 pounds per week. Sometimes, weight plateaus occur and when this happens, you willusually need to change what you are doing. When the body is too set in one way for awhile, it will stop the weight loss mode, and the only thing to end the plateau, is by doing something different.

Overall health generally will improve with this great weight loss plan!

This plan will have you weigh in once per week. After reaching your healthy target weight, you'll become a lifetime member and meetings are free of charge as long as you stay within 2 pounds of your goal weight.
