With Weight Watchers, you have total freedom to eat what you want, as long as you keep the number of points you consume in a certain range based on your current weight and gender. Points are calculated based on the fat and calories in your food.
Some people love this freedom, while others prefer diets with more structure. If you know your next meal is at 7.00 pm, and it is already determined what it will be, then you can just forget about it, and think of something totally different.
However, a pitfall, you may experience, if you have an unstructured diet, is that you may find yourself spending a lot of time planning your next meal, to use your allotted points to their greatest advantage. And the more time you think about food, the more likely you are to start feelings of craving.
This not only makes the dieting process less pleasant, it also increases the chances that you will cheat, or worse, stop the diet completely.
For that reason, more and more people are now choosing a more structured diet such as NutriSystem.
With NutriSystem, you don’t have to worry about weighing food, or counting points. You just sit at home, and wait for delicious portion-controlled, prepackaged food to be delivered to you.
NutriSystem have been operating for over thirty years now, and they have helped millions of people lose weight. They offer free telephone and online support, and also free membership.
They offer a very useful free diet analysis on their site, where you answer a few questions online, and they tell you how quickly you can lose your first 5 lbs, how many calories you should eat each day, and the number of weeks it will take you to reach your goal weight.
