Many of today’s diets are reliant upon dieters
cutting out a particular food group for at least a short period of
time in order to experience dramatic and speedy weight loss.
However, cutting out a whole food group on a permanent basis is not
healthy, and therefore the eliminated food must, at some point, be
re-introduced. Logic dictates that if you lose weight by cutting out
a certain food group, then you will put weight on by re-introducing
it. This makes long-term weight loss without the fear of ill-health
very difficult to attain on these faddy diets.
How Does
Weight Watchers Works
Weight Watchers works by
encouraging members to eat all the necessary food groups for a
healthy and balanced diet. There is no cutting back or eliminating
carbs, protein, etc. The theory behind the Weight Watchers eating
plan is very simple: to control fat and calorie intake and to
educate in healthy eating and regular activity.
Although weight
loss is much slower on the Weight Watchers diet than with many
others, you will not be losing out on valuable nutrients, you will
not be left feeling hungry or craving certain foods and you will be
able to learn and adopt healthier eating habits. And the fact that
weight loss is slower is not as bad as it may sound – many
nutritionists argue that it is the only safe way to lose weight and
keep it off.
How Much Weight Can You Lose
By following the Weight Watchers eating plan, members can
expect to lose an average of 1-2lb per week. Exercise is also
encouraged, but not necessarily in the form of expensive gyms and
exercise classes…even household chores such as hoovering and
gardening are classed as exercise and can help speed up the weight
loss.
Weight Watchers does not set unachievable goals for members, nor
does it condone under-eating to try and lose weight. Their emphasis
is on healthy, nutritious eating; regular meals; and some form of
physical activity to help with weight loss. The eating plans are
designed to be practical, invaluable tools to assist dieters in
controlling their fat and calorie intake and moderating portions.
