Diet Information: Weight WatchersWritten by Jason Hulott
Weight Watchers is one of World's most popular weight loss programmes and has been around since 1960s. The concept of Weight Watchers is not to offer a "quick-fix" solution to weight related problems, but more about adopting a healthier eating plan (that also will help you lose, then maintain your new, weight).The Weight Watchers programme is about developing a healthy lifestyle, includes mental, emotional, and physical health. The dietary programme is a lot about group support and you are expected to attend regular meetings for weigh-ins and motivation. Most foods are allowed, each of which has a point value. When you attend your first meeting, you will be given an amount of points you are allowed to consume every day. Some types of physical exercise will cancel out some of points consumed, so more exercise you get, in theory, more you can eat!

In ‘80s we had ‘F-plan’, in Noughties, we’ve got Atkins diet. Devotees to Atkins plan claim to shed their unwanted pounds quickly and easily while still being able to tuck into ‘fry-ups’, while those whose tried it and fallen ‘off wagon’ report feeding ill and hungry throughout it.Love it or hate it, Atkins diet has actually been around longer than you may think. Developed in early ‘70s by late Robert C. Atkins, M.D. (who was reportedly over weight when he died), his book - "Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution" - introduced Atkins Diet to world. Atkins’ theory is that way your body processes carbohydrates you eat -- not how much fat you eat -- that causes you to gain weight. By lowering your carbohydrate input, and eating high protein food, your body should enter a state of Ketosis. This is where your body burns fat as fuel.
