Published: June 27, 2007
According to the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, an estimated 66 percent of Americans are overweight or obese. The effects of this epidemic are more than just feeling self-conscious in a swimsuit or having trouble buttoning jeans; being overweight can be hard on a person's health. People who are overweight increase their likelihood of developing health problems like hypertension, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke and some cancers.
It's little wonder that millions of people struggle with trying to reduce their weight ever year. One of the methods for weight reduction that has stood the test of time is Weight Watchers.
The Weight Watchers Turnaround plan provides menus that people can take to customize the weight loss plan to their needs. The Flex Plan uses the POINTS system to encourage people to make healthier eating choices. Depending on a persons gender, age, height, weight and activities, a healthy target is set of how many POINTS people can eat per day. Different food options have different POINTS values, with healthier foods having lower point values. This allows people to eat what they want while helping control how much they eat.
The Weight Watchers diet gives people many options. Recipes range from juicy hamburgers on the grill that use lean beef to warm chocolate pudding cakes that use fat-free dairy products. Eating out doesn't have to break a dieter's will. Weight Watchers online provides tips for eating at restaurants, and have joined forces with Applebee's Restaurant to provide menu items that give point values to foods like Teriyaki shrimp skewers and berry lemon cheesecake.
Besides the diet options, the Turnaround plan includes ways for people to activate their healthy lifestyles. The Weight Watchers website offers work out ideas and demonstrations to kick start people's exercise routines. Tips for flattening a stomach can be as simple as good posture, shedding pounds as easy as walking away from a sedentary lifestyle, and keeping active as fun as playing with the kids.
A monthly pass costs an average of about $40 per month. This pass includes attendance to unlimited meetings and access to other online features such as Weight Tracker, low fat recipes, reviews of cookbooks, listings of the POINTS values of different foods, and a recipe builder.
Weight Watchers has helped millions of women and men lose weight through their customizable options for menus, thousands of healthy recipes online, suggested cookbooks, tips for an active lifestyle, the support of weekly group meetings, and access to help anytime at the company's website. To find a local meeting and try the diet, visit the website at WeightWatchers.com.
