| Weight Watchers |
Weight Watchers offers a mixture of a diet and support, either from attending a group or through
a website. The Weight Watchers diet involves a points system, based on calorie and fat content.
Members receive comprehensive lists showing how many points are found in different food and drinks,
including when eating out.
The points allowance is calculated depending upon your age, weight and sex. Healthy eating is
encouraged and people can choose what to eat within their points allowance. Weekly updates include
recipes and seasonal produce. Weight Watchers branded products are on sale through supermarkets etc,
and include frozen ready meals and tinned goods.
The Weight Watchers diet is, therefore, basically a calorie controlled diet, with additional group
and online support that may help you stick to your diet and keep the weight off, afterwards.
There has been some research into the long-term effectiveness of the Weight Watchers diet, which
is quite positive.
Don't forget: if you decide to follow a particular diet and lose weight, then go back to the old
habits that made you overweight in the first place, you will become overweight again.
Note:
Weight Concern does not receive any funding from manufacturers or retailers of any commercial
weight loss programme.
