Have you been struggling to lose weight? Aimlessly trying to get your summer body back? GezzyGirl has a new diet that will fit any lifestyle – everyone has to give this one a try! The Weight Watchers Diet helps you lose 1kg (2lbs) a week, while you eat whatever you want! Sounds too good to be true? Here’s how it works!
The Weight Watchers Diet is based on the theory that counting calories is not the only aspect of dieting, but rather making healthy choices that fill you up, and therefore eating less.The Weight Watchers Diet Points Plus assigns every food a points value based on protein, carbs, fat, fibre, calories, and how hard the body has to work to burn it off. In order to lose weight you need to keep your point count down. Choices that fill you up and nutritionally dense foods “cost” fewer points than empty calories. For example, if you’re contemplating between a 200cal smoothie and a 200cal iced coffee, you would choose the smoothie even though they have the same calorie count! Bare in mind that processed foods will carry high points, while fresh fruits and vegetables carry zero points! You can eat as much as you want of these because they are high in fibre and more filling than something highly processed, like a chocolate!
There is no fixed membership period for this diet. Because it’s a healthy way to lose the unwanted fat, you can stay on it for as long as you wish. The great thing about this diet is that you can eat whatever you want, as long as you stick to your daily Points Plus Target. You can find your target by going onto the Weight Watchers website. Here, you will also find the point values of over 40 000 foods! Weight Watchers also pushes specially designated power foods, or the best choice among similar foods. For example, if you’re stuck between 2 soups, you can quickly check which one has the healthier content.
So why should you follow this diet? Well first and foremost, the Weight Watchers Diet helps you lose weight. Studies suggest that Weight Watchers is affective when followed correctly, with 86% of followers being happily satisfied with the results. Following this diet proves to improve cardiac health through weight loss. Although eating this way does not directly better diabetes, it helps you lose weight and intern helps diabetes patients.
Weight Watchers recommends that you take a daily multivitamin to ensure that you’re getting enough calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron, vitamin B-12, and other important nutrients. This diet is easy to follow as you won’t go hungry throughout the day – the points per day are high enough to allow 3 meals and at least 2 snacks! Treating yourself is recommended!!! Just stick to your allocated points and you’ll be on your way to your dream body!
