Quick Weight Loss Tips

CONCEPT

Weight Watchers has been in operation for over 40 years. They are very trusted and have plenty of testimonials to back up their weight loss approach. Weight Watchers operates from their numerous weight loss centers across the globe, and also through their weight loss web site. People are encouraged to attend their weekly classes (online or in person) for which they pay 10-20$ per session. Within these meetings, experts offer advice, help, and techniques for weight loss success. For meals, a points system is used to keep track of caloric intake.

PLAN

Weight Watchers uses the "points" system for meal preparation. Every day, users are given an allotment for how many points they may consume. Every possible food/meal is given a point value, and generally works on how many calories a food contains. By combining different foods, keeping track of the points assigned to them, you eat the amount of "points" for that day. By doing so you reduce your caloric intake, making weight loss possible.

The plan works on the input/output strategy, which is that if you burn more calories than you eat, you lose weight. So by reducing your calories, combined with physical activity, you lose pounds. The diet makes no claim higher than a possible 2 pound per week loss. This is a very safe rate to lose weight, and is achievable which keeps morale up for users.

The plan does tend to make users slaves to point counting, and makes them rely heavily on the plan to guide their eating habits. Once off the plan, weight gain is very easy. Also, people may get annoyed with point counting and abandon the plan altogether. But if you stick with it, you could find yourself at the weight you're happy with.
