Should I keep Weight watchers or dump it? (Explanation inside)

Question

Hi, I’m 134 pounds currently, I used to be between 103-110, and trust me I’ve always ate food like I should be 300 pounds. I have or now had a fast metabolism. The thing is I love eating healthy but I also love salt and would eat terribly as well. After my baby I didn’t bounce back and now I’m 134, with weight watchers I can’t eat the foods that at the very least have kept me very full for the reason being the portions are too small and they are always a lot of points for example rice is my like go to, and it’s a lot of points and the portion is very small that you can have. So I’m hungry a lot, I’m not satisfied with my meals. Eating healthier and portioning is fine with me, but my two main fillers which is potatoes and rice, I can’t even really eat or like spaghetti. I’m not interested in going back to my old weight, I’m just flabby and it’s gross to me for the first time in my life I have a round and a bit obvious tummy so I have been 1 month into consistent exercising. I do yoga everyday and I just implemented cardio and other things into my working as of last week. Fruits and all the 0 points foods don’t fill me. Should I quit it and do my own thing or keep it up? I have been doing it for 1 week and I don’t know.

Answer

Based on this post it’s clear you don’t know anything about nutrition or fueling your body properly, so if I were you I would talk to a nutritionist. I wouldn’t pay for weight watchers because over eating isn’t your problem. Your problem is not eating the right types of foods or understanding what different types of foods will do for your body for example which will keep you full, which will give you energy etc.

Answer

You have to eat the right types of foods that are going to keep you full… And you can eat lots of them. Veggies, lots! I eat a shit ton of cucumbers in the form of cucumber salad and that keeps me very full. Fruits, personally I would stay away from because of all the sugar (if fruits are zero points, then I would argue that weight watchers logic is not correct because eating too much fruit will sabotage your efforts). Lean meats are good. You don’t need lots of potatoes or spaghetti or bread. Sweet potatoes are good one that probably wouldn’t be as much points as another type of potato. Also, I normally would not recommend any type of fat loss supplements or anything like that, but I have recently discovered that my favorite brand of vitamins has a supplement that helps you feel fuller to stop overeating as well as helps stop stress eating (it contains chromium and 5-HTP). I was sent samples and used them and I have to say, I am impressed. It is by hum nutrition, so go on their website and check it out. The supplements alone will not work though, it needs to be in conjunction with healthy diet and exercise.

Answer

I'd ditch it. I tried it a while back when I was 140 trying to get back down to 125 and it literally didn't help me at all. And I loveeeee salty foods! That's my main weakness, so here's some tips. Use sea salt instead of table salt when cooking, I don't know how but it makes everything saltier and you use less. Also, eat what you want, just smaller portions. I'm guilty of easily going through a bag of chips, but now I limit myself. Don't eat at night! Like snacking unless it's a special occasion like out to see a movie. That one used to be a weakness but I'm slowly getting out of that routine. Look up healthy recipes on Pinterest, they have some amazing ones to try that don't take long to make! Also, drink more water! Splurge on pop or another drink once a day but the rest is water! And exercise if you can!

Answer

The latest revamped WW program added so many 0 point foods including most lean proteins there’s no reason you can’t still enjoy rice or potatoes and still not go over your daily allotment of points or use the weekly extras. It sounds to me like you don’t understand the new program or your halfassing it.
