Weight Watchers is actually a really good program for losing weight.
I was not sure if it was going to work and I was looking for an easy way to establish eating habits and had heard some success stories, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I found that since it's such a well known program, you can easily find out how many points are in any given meal you want to eat.
There are even food items listed for restaurant meals.
For me, it was a way to kick start me back into a general healthy eating program.
The one thing I don't like about weight watchers is the emphasis it places on low fat foods.
Don't get me wrong, I don't expect to eat fatty foods and get thin, but I don't like taking in all the chemicals in processed foods that are low fat.
I refuse to use things like margarine (especially since it's only 1 fat gram less than butter and at least I know what butter is), salad dressings, and other unnatural non fat items.
I much prefer to eat whole foods and make selections of food items that are naturally low in fat.
But, as I said, Weight Watchers was awesome to kick me back into a program where I was losing weight.
I got really good results.
I lost about 10 lbs in a couple of months.
After that, I switched to a program that was more geared toward putting on muscle to help me burn fat and that would work better with my desire to eat whole, natural, organic foods.
I recommend Weight Watchers to anyone who needs to get started.
You should at least try it, you might find you love the results and wish to stick to it as a lifestyle.
