Advantages: Easy to stick to, no weighing or counting calories.

Disadvantages: Easy to give up!!! Still requires willpower :)

I have been on many diets and all have failed or I have given up too soon. I decided to try doing weight watchers after my mum persuaded me. I haven't been to the meetings so this review will not be discussing those but I have used all the weight watchers materials and used the online site as well as using the ideas in the magazines.

Weight watchers has two different eating plan. These are known as the core plan and the points plan. I have decided to do the core plan so this is the plan I can mostly comment on.

Basically the difference between the two plans is how you design your weekly menu. The points plan allows you to eat anything you want but you have to count points for everything you eat. The core plan is based around a list of foods that you can have as much as you want of. You also have a few points to 'spend' on other things or treats throughout the week.

I have found the plan quite easy to follow because I have enjoyed not having to count points or weigh things out and just being able to eat till I am full. I have noticed that it is very important to pre-plan what I will eat throughout the week otherwise I find that I will eat too much or eat things I am not allowed or even not eat a balanced meal.

My summary
Weight watchers is a good healthy eating plan that is easy to stick to and gives you plenty of variation. You still need a lot of willpower and it can still be very hard. Maybe going to the meetings will help encourage some people and make it easier for them to stick to their plan.

Summary: A good way to change your eating habits.
