Why I'm Now (Kind of) a Fan of Weightwatchers

If somebody had told me few years back I would be praising Weightwatchers, I'd have said they were mad. But now, since my wife has lost 18lbs of body fat in 8 weeks with them, I've changed my opinion.

Why?

• The diets are easy to follow - no obsessing over food choices.
  
• They make it easy to reduce calories while still enjoying your favourite foods.
• Encourage eating more fruit and vegetables
  
• They make you accountable - each week you are weighed.
  
• Social support - weekly group meetings.

So my wife, without counting calories, obsessing over food choices or starving herself managed to lose 18lbs of bodyfat in 8 short weeks.

In fact I'm a fan of any diet that makes reducing calories easier.

So choose a diet based on fruit and veg that allows you to reduce calories whilst still enjoying your favourite foods.
