does weight watchers work
Hi.
I'm 19 years old, female, and I have been doing crash diets and starvation diets for many years.
I am so sick of them and done with not enjoying amazing food or feeling giulty.
I gained a lot of weight and I want to loose it healthily.
Does weight watchers work?
How does it work if you could eat ice crem! I don't get it.

Go high carb, low fat, whole foods, plant-based VEGAN! It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. I went vegan this year and have lost 40 pounds, with minimal exercise, and eating AS MUCH as I desire bringing down my BMI from 30 to 24. I weigh less now than I did throughout high school, as an overweight teenager, even when I exercised for hours while on Junior Varsity and Varsity sports teams. I went to my annual physical earlier this month, and even my doctor was in shock.
My goal for next year is to lose 30-40 more pounds, I just need to start exercising on a regular basis. Nothing crazy, just 30-60 minutes of jogging, Ballet Beautiful, bike riding.. things like that.
I think it's amazing what I've accomplished so far, just by changing my diet, though. It's a lot easier to go vegan than it seems. I was never vegetarian, I went from being able to eat an entire box of pizza or entire tub of ice cream in one sitting to a full-fledged vegan. I now spend a lot less money on groceries, have more energy (never need caffeine, and never feel lethargic like I used to on a regular basis), have more concentration, am learning to cook, and etc. Try it for a week, that's how I started, and I felt so good that I just kept going, and it's now been 5 months! You can get every nutrient from plant foods, including protein!

The only vitamin you need to supplement is B12, and one I personally recommend is Garden of Life's B12 spray (cause I personally hate swallowing pills, and methylcobalamin is better than cyanocobalamin). You can buy it at any health foods store (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, etc.), or online.

Weight Watchers absolutely works.
It works because the "points" system gives you the flexibility to eat whatever you want within your daily allotment. That's why you can eat ice cream if you want to.
Basically it teaches you to practice portion control while taking into account fat, carbs, protein, etc. and providing a support system.

Please please do not do starvation diets anymore. These mess up your metabolism for life.
Weight watchers would work, but I have never heard about them just eating ice cream?
Basically if you eat less and move more, but incorporate healthy food into your lifestyle you dong need to starve.
Portion control is a must, because if all your friends are eating pizza and you can't, you're going to give up, right? Have a slice of pizza, have a bowl of ice cream, but just have a very small amount.
Porridge in the morning with some raisins etc will fill you up. A small jacket with tuna and salad for lunch, protein filled chicken with rice and veg.. That sort of thing.
I have lost a stone over the past few months. I have somehow trained my mind to think im full after earing about half a medium portion. Before, like you I was starving myself etc... The second you eat something you have wasted all that hard work. So eat healthily, treat yourself and exercise a lot! Walk to college or work, do sit ups while watching tv, go rollerblading, jogging, walk peoples dogs go for a bike ride...the list is endless, but will ensure you are eating healthy, are fit and happy and enjoying yourself and not restricting yourself like in usual diets as that just doesn't work in the long run
