Millions of people have lost weight the “Weight Watchers” way. Other diet fads have come and gone, but after 40 years, Weight Watchers is still going strong. Why? Because the program is more than just a diet. It’s a lifestyle, which leads to a healthy, happy, balanced individual.
Weight Watchers is based on four essential pillars of weight loss namely behaviour, food, support and exercise and it is their constant attention to all four pillars which make the lifestyle successful. Their mantra is “the whole person matters” and they approach diet as a core part of the person.
Their program is also adaptable to different people. It’s no good telling a person who is four hundred pounds overweight to follow the same diet as someone who is close to their ideal weight. The diet would be unrealistic and the overweight person would never be able to follow the diet. They have therefore introduced various eating plans to suit just about every type of person.
Weight Watchers also provides one thing which most other diet plans do not – a huge level of motivation and support. I think this is one of the reasons why the program is so successful. Dieting can often be demoralising and a lonely experience, but with weight watchers you can join a community that knows exactly what you’re going through and the leaders of the groups have just the right advice for most people. And if you can’t afford to join a group – if you live too far or you don’t have the time, then you can join the online community and get the support from the company itself.
The community or groups don’t only provide support, but they also add to your sense of accomplishment. The group knows your progress and shares your excitement – even when you’ve only lost a few ounces - and this sense of accomplishment does wonders for your level of motivation.
Because Weight Watchers has been around for so long, there is also tons of information about the diet. Recipes, meal plans and tips are easily found. You can even buy foods with weight watcher points marked on them.
When it comes to weight loss, weight watchers is definitely one program I’d highly recommend.
