Losing weight can be a tricky proposition and a number of weight loss companies exist that seem to exist to only lighten your wallet. While you may lose weight initially, you are practically guaranteed to gain the weight back the minute you stop buying their product.
Weight Watchers is not one of those companies.
One of the oldest and most respected weight loss companies, Weight Watchers has honestly earned its stellar reputation. Recently, U.S. News & World Report selected Weight Watchers as their Number One Weight Loss Plan for 2011. This conclusion was reached by a panel consisting of dieticians, nutritionists, and doctors who specialize in the treatment of heart problems and diabetes. Additionally, members of the weight loss plans were also interviewed for their experiences and results. Weight Watchers rose to the top quickly.
What makes Weight Watchers such a loved — and effective — plan? Several factors contribute:
- Weight Watchers is intended to help you live in the real world. Unlike plans that make you purchase their own food or make limited choices, Weight Watchers gives you the tools so that you can make the healthiest choices that are right for you. They also allow for the occasional indulgence.
- The plan is simple to use. You are given your daily and weekly allotment of Points Plus values. You are also given several tools to help you calculate the Points Plus values of the foods you eat. Whether you prefer to use a pocket calculator, a booklet or the website, if you can read a food label, you can work out the value. If you need help, leaders are always available to talk about the plan with you, and fellow members are helpful and friendly.
- The plan can easily adjust to fit your schedule. Meeting locations are scheduled across the county. Using the website, it’s easy to locate a meeting nearby that can fit into your schedule. Another option for busy professionals is Weight Watchers at Work, where a meeting is held by a trained Weight Watchers leader at your place of work. For people who prefer their privacy or don’t like meetings, Weight Watchers Online is another effective way to work the program. The website is easy to navigate and gives you all the tools you would receive in a meeting, including a vast network of forums and online communities.
- Weight Watchers doesn’t ditch you when you’re done. Some weight loss plans will continue to charge you for monitoring once you reach your goal or simply close the books on you, leaving you on your own in a world of food that you haven’t been properly prepared to deal with. Weight Watchers actually rewards you for reaching your goal by giving you the status of Lifetime Member. As a Lifetime Members, you are only required to attend one meeting per month to make sure you are maintaining your weight, but you can still attend as many meetings as you feel like you need. The best part? As a Lifetime Member you don’t have to pay dues!
