Weight Watchers

Weight Watchers started when a group of friends gathered at house to discuss dieting tips and ideas about their diets. It now employs over 50,000 people and they operate in over 30 countries worldwide.

The reason for their success is that they offer a diet plan for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. They don’t just provide you with a diet sheet, they provide you with the information and advice necessary to make the best decisions about your own diet.

If you are ready for a lifestyle change that includes eating carbs and proteins, fitness and a community effort in your weight loss goals. If you are you willing to track the foods you eat every day. And you need the support of a large number of people to help you meet your goals, then weight watchers is the natural choice.

Online support is also available, in addition to online menus, calculators and recipes. There is of course a basic diet plan, or to be more precise, two plans - the points plan and the core plan.

Members are given a weekly points allocation depending upon their present weight and the weight they are aiming for and are allowed to eat anything they like up to this points allocation.

The strength of the points system is that a points score is given to any food imaginable and there's no limit on the types of food that you are permitted but only on the quantity which you can eat dependent upon that food's points score. This is in sharp contrast to many other diets that ban some foods completely or require that particular foods are included in your diet.

The points plan also provides you with a great deal of flexibility by allocating negative points for exercise. So, if you decide to go over your points allocation you can do so as long as you take enough exercise to compensate for the additional points consumed.

The core plan was created in response to the popularity the South Beach and Atkins plans. Under this plan a wide variety of foods including whole grain foods, lean meats, fat free airy products, lean meats, and whole grain foods are classed as "core" foods and there is no limit on the quantity of these foods that you can eat, other than the provision that you should only eat these foods to satisfy your hunger rather than eat them until you are "full".

Operating largely as a "club", Weight Watchers has gone from strength to strength over the years and, as long as it continues to provide so much more than just a diet plan, it will doubtless continue to flourish in the future.
