Weight Watchers - The Good & Bad

Weight Watchers has been around for the longest of almost all weight loss programs. All foods are assigned a point value.


The Good:

o No food restrictions

o You learn healthier eating habits

o Tracking of points is done with a journal and calculator - simple

o You attend a weekly support team to get advice from a leader and weigh-in to stay accountable

o Access to online tools and support

o Foods such as chocolate, bread, yogurt and candy IS allowed

The points given to foods are based on the serviing size and not what the food is. Obviously they can't account for every food on earth so when the food isn't listed in the Weight Watchers Food Chart you are given a formula to figure out the points.


The Bad:

o Can be expensive - $10 to $15 per class plus your signup fee

o You must be disciplined and willing to track and record what you eat

o The points system has disadvantages - you won't want to be counting calories your whole life
