Weight Watchers

Weight Watchers recently revamped its 40-year old tried and tested weight loss program now called Momentum. The motto of the new plan: “Don’t Eat Less, Eat Smarter”. Momentum is essentially a blend of Weight Watchers’ previous two programs, Flex and Core, and it also adds a few new principles and tools. Momentum is a fully-integrated and all-encompassing approach to weight loss designed to teach you to make good eating choices, have healthier habits, and promote regular exercise, all while providing a supportive and encouraging environment to do so.

The Weight Watchers Basics:

- Point System/Weekly Point Allowance
- The Good Health Guidelines (30 min of exercise daily, drink water…)
- The Filling Foods List (Focus on fiber and water-dense foods)
- Managing Hunger Tips
- Helpful Habits (8 things successful ‘weight watchers’ do)
- Make smart food choices second nature
What Makes Momentum Different Than Other Weight Loss Plans?
- Less focus on restricting certain foods
- No unrealistic promises of rapid weight loss, but you are guaranteed to lose weight
- Support and follow-up to help you maintain and continue your weight loss
- Not just another fad diet – Has been a hugely successful weight loss method for millions of people and has been around for over 40 years.
- A lot of variety and many supportive outlets to turn to.

Current Promo:

Pros:

- Thousands of great recipes
- Tons of support (meetings, classes, tips, advice…)
- Is designed to be flexible around your life, not something that takes over your life.
- Proven results/thousands of satisfied customers.
- Allows you to eat what you want by teaching portion control.
- New Excel sheet does the point-calculating for you.
- Different plans/payment options to suit your needs

Cons:

- Can be annoying/tedious to count points/calories of everything you eat.

- Cost: It does cost money. There are different types of plans you can purchase based on your preferences. For example, they charge you each time you attend a class, so if you only go once a week this may be the best option for you. Alternatively there’s a Weight Watchers Monthly Pass that includes free registration, unlimited meetings, and complete access to all e-tools for about $9 per week.

The Momentum plan is one that has proven success. It’s not unrealistic and it’s simple. Momentum is designed to fit your lifestyle so that you’re able to stick with it for the long run, lose weight and keep it off. If you want to lose weight in a healthy way without pills or starving yourself, Weight Watchers has all the resources you need to do so.
