Has anyone used or is using Weight Watchers to help them lose weight?

My sister didn’t join Weight Watchers but someone shared the diet plan with her when she was in high school and she lost quite a bit of weight. It has changed since then. Eating a candy bar doesn’t give nutrition and sugar creates hunger hormones so in the end that type of diet will fail. They taught us in school when I was young that a “calorie is a calorie regardless of what you eat. And if you eat too many calories you will gain weight.” Even doctors would say this when discussing weight loss. But now they are finding out this isn’t true. Calories from certain foods will help your metabolism burn more fat from your body, proteins and fats especially and high-fiber low-carb veggies will help too. Also foods high in resistance starches will help, you have to know how to prepare each food properly though for that, it varies depending on what type of food it is.

Best of luck. And get ready for all the people who have been criticizing you over your weight to offer you calorie rich foods that are not on the WW plan and insist you eat them.

good luck. i tried weight watchers before (not the group but following their diet from books) i ate a lot of salty soup and developed high blood pressure so do be careful as they do recommend a lot of soup or at least used to.

I've used the high protein low carb stuff before, but smaller portions more times per day, and avoidance of the obvious enemies + exercise is really the only way to keep it off. The high protein low carb works, but it conditions your metabolism to put the weight back on real fast!

Sounds like spot the fatty... 🤔

Statistically, they don't have a good success rate. One study (in the UK) found that only 8% of members managed to get to target weight and keep it off after 5 years.

A friend of mine used it, and lost a lot of weight.
The most important thing is to not cheat.
Follow the instructions.

Nope. I am trying to lose weight just by myself. And when I reach the point I cannot do it by myself I may join.

if you want to lose weight then dont eat anything that taste good (so i was told)

I want a watch that helps gaining weight.

Never.
