Weight Watchers Diet
| The Weight Watchers diet is a classical low-calorie, healthily-balanced diet. You can eat anything you like in moderation, as long as you follow the food pyramid guidelines, with half of your energy coming from slow-release carbs, a third from protein and a sixth from fats. Sample day's food: Breakfast: 1 egg 1 slice of wholemeal toast with low-fat spread 1 piece of fruit Tea or coffee Lunch and Dinner: Crudites or salad, with 2 teaspoons of vinaigrette, or soup Lean meat, fish or two eggs Cooked vegetables and/or small quantity of carbohydrates Dessert: fresh fruit or low-fat yoghurt Water Optional: 1 glass of wine a day Snack: Cheese and biscuits, fruit Tea |
| Pros A very well-balanced diet, with reduced calorie intake, like the Mediterranean diet, this is a healthy option which will do you good. Going to the Weight Watchers meetings is a great way of motivating yourself to stay on the straight and narrow - and of making new friends! |
| Cons The diet is harder to follow alone and weight loss is quite slow. Don't give up, it may take several months ot get down to your target weight. |
