The Weight Watchers Diet and the Points Diet

Lose weight by eating what you want and simply by controlling the portions? If you think a similar diet is best for you, then try Weight Watchers. The Weight Watchers Diet is the most famous point diet in history. It was invented in the sixties and then took hold in Italy starting from the seventies, but it definitely depopulated in the eighties.

It was the diet of the 1980s. The advertisements for the products of the Weight Watchers / Punto brand are from the early 1980s and in the 1980s there was no woman in Italy who did not know what the Weight Watchers diet was.
You will tell me: yes, okay, but with many new diets that are around, why do you advise us to follow the Weight Watchers diet?
Well, because the Weight Watchers diet is in my opinion an excellent diet , and a few years ago a study in The Lancet magazine promoted it, after more than forty years, as one of the most effective diets in circulation.

Because? The Weight Watchers diet is easy to follow, balanced and varied.
This diet in fact assigns a score to each food (or food category), and to follow it it was necessary not to exceed the daily points.. Furthermore, it was based on the encouragement and support of a group, so much so that the inventor of the Weight Watchers diet, the New Yorker Jean Nidetch started doing the diet together with six friends who had problems with overweight (that’s why the name of weight watchers : the results of the diet are monitored in groups and it is much more difficult to lie to others when it is not followed correctly). Also, like any good diet, the Weight Watchers diet teaches more about a life-long diet, trying to educate about healthy eating. Therefore it is a thousand times preferable to many drastic diets in circulation.
How Does the Weight Watchers Diet Work?
– Depending on your weight loss needs and your characteristics (gender, age, daily activity), you are assigned a daily score, and a list of foods with associated points for each food / recipe: the total sum of the points of the meals not they must exceed your daily score.
– The Weight Watchers method associates a physical activity with the diet, supports you with a nutritionist
and places you within a support group.
– Many lose weight not the Weight Watchers and tend not to regain it, precisely because it is a varied and balanced diet that does not mess up the metabolism.
– Compared to other diets, the foods to be eliminated are very few: for example alcohol, sugary drinks.

– There are some products that you can buy, but they are by no means mandatory.
Adding the points of the various meals is not as difficult as you might think: in short, it is not a complicated diet and the method offers many menu suggestions for eating out.
