  You lose weight slowly and healthily with the Weight Watchers program following a suitable food. No food is forbidden. It makes you want to? Fitness.com our reporter reveals what lies behind the concept and Weight Watchers meetings and reveals the advantages and disadvantages of this system.

  We always say: together, everything is easier! So why not lose weight together? Motivate each other, seek advice, share experiences - this is what all those who find themselves at the meetings and that Weight Watchers worldwide.

  Jean Nidetch housewife in New York, has designed this concept. In the 60s, she tried to lose weight but in vain - only it was a failure. She had the idea to meet other people in the same case that, in order to motivate themselves. The pounds began to melt and thus the Weight Watchers was born.

  The food program Weight Watchers is not a diet in the true sense of the term, but rather it is a complete food concept. People wishing to lose weight are allowed to eat whatever they want. However they must meet the capital points. Program and healthy diet is based on personalized weight, age and sex.

  Weight Watchers has published a catalog in which are listed all types of dishes and drinks with their score. All foods are rated according to their calorie content and composition: carbohydrates, lipids and proteins play an important role here. It is especially foods with a high fat percentage that are sanctioned and evaluated with a large number of points. In contrast, the number of points for almost all kinds of fruits and vegetables is zero. Also pasta and potatoes can be consumed at will. It is important to have enough to eat during the diet to prevent hunger and thus resorting to sweets. By following the diet program you should lose between 500 and 1000 grams.

  But Weight Watchers is not a unit of points. The concept is based on four pillars: pillar next to the food, there are also the pillars exercise behavior and support essential for weight loss.

  The magazines will praise the Weight Watchers method. In fact, the method is simple and can be adapted to different lifestyles. Even people who often go to the restaurant or in the evening can follow the diet. Moreover, we learn to eat a healthy and balanced diet. And for those who normally have difficulty holding there meetings. It is a motivation and support to achieve his goal. A person who does not have the ability or inclination to follow a group dynamic can follow an online program and get help on the Internet.

  Unfortunately the food program also has its limits. In fact everyone can eat the foods that make it fun. Therefore there may be an imbalance between nutrients because the taste is also the result of habits. But as we know, a balanced diet is extremely important to lose weight. Another disadvantage is worth noting: the point system evaluates certain foods sometimes unfairly. Indeed, the score is still higher for products with a high fat percentage for products with a high sugar content. Thus, nuts, for example, have more points than the Haribo Teddy!

  Weight Watchers, the method is expensive. All those who want to lose weight with this method will have 15 euros for registration and about 10 euros per week for attendance at meetings.
