We all have different goals when it comes to weight loss and different types of diets work for different people so we’ve decided to trial a few different diets and detoxes and report back to you.
One diet that we’re looking at is Weight Watchers new plan called ‘ProPoints’. We’ve got the basic info and our first impressions of the program right here.
ProPoints
Weight Watchers have a brand new system called ‘ProPoints’ that allows for more flexibility in the diet and even lets you have that occasional dinner out or extra glass of wine. The ProPoints system crates a daily point allocation that is determined by your heigh, age and weight. In addition to this allocation, everyone is giving a set amount of “propoints” to allow for spontaneity. Activity points are also extras so you are not left starving after a big gym session.
Rescu. Roadtest:
I’m using weight watchers online and the new weight watchers app on my iphone. Given that I’m pretty much never without one of these devices, I never have an excuse not to track which is great. Both are super easy to use and I was amazed at how simple it all was. I’ve counted calories before and find this process so much less tedious and more gratifying.
I’m just not the sort of girl who likes to turn down a Saturday night out and I’ve been a vegetarian for over 7 years. It was because of all this that I decided to try weight watchers because it seemed so flexible and worked with my lifestyle.
The plan as a whole encourages healthy eating by making fresh fruits and most fresh vegetables zero points. It also has trackers for vitamins, water intake and activity which I find really useful.
So far, I’ve really noticed how much my healthy lifestyle goes off track each weekend and how this really is affecting my weight and, most likely, my overall health. It wasn’t until I was tracking everything I ate that I realised just how much more I eat from Friday to Sunday and how much of that was unhealthy.
Stay tuned for my next update!
