7. Introduction
Weight Watchers diet is well researched and classified as top grade compared
to most others. For instance, British Medical Research Council provided two
studies; results of which tell us that Weight Watchers regimen is an effective
way to lose weight. These studies were not a single attempt to investigate so
much popular weight loss plan. Indeed, if you look through the list of best
weight loss diets, you will find Weight Watchers program amid the top-ranked
ones.
One of the serious medical periodicals ‘Annals of Internal Medicine’
published the curious report on this subject. According to it, eleven general
weight loss plans have been studied with a randomized controlled trial. Weight
Watchers program was one of two diets which indicated that participants lost
more weight over one year than people sticking to their own diet. It is evidence
beyond a reasonable doubt, isn’t it? So, how is it possible to outperform other
popular commercial weight loss strategies?
8. Weight Watchers and Principles of Fat Loss
Four pillars of the Weight Watchers program are behavior, food, exercise, and
support. So we can assume that WW program is based on right principles. And
the central principle for weight loss process is the first law of
thermodynamics: conservation of energy. To lose weight, you need to maintain
higher energy expenditure than the energy intake. In nutrition, we use calories
as the unit of energy that is received from foods. Anybody is going to lose
weight in a regimen with the caloric deficit. It is substantially a case of pure
mathematics, you see it? However, in real life, it’s never that simple, and the
proper implementation is the key to success here.
The Weight Watchers program focuses on modifying diet and encouraging
physical activity to create an energy deficit. Experts say that your diet is 80%
responsible for obtaining a desirable result in weight loss. So, this program
works blending nutrition points-driven plan with a strong group support system
and inspiration to exercise. The program offers you an education on cooking,
nutrition, and lifestyle.
The WW program teaches you portion control. In order to count your Smart
points accurately, you need to learn how to measure your food portions
correctly. This skill is important, and it will be significant for whole your life.
Overweight people tend to eat larger portions and larger meals. As a result,
they often make mistakes counting their energy intake.
Weight Watchers have their own line of foods that you can buy in the
supermarkets. However, you are not required to purchase these products to
join the Weight Watchers program.
Also, Weight Watchers program provides a broad range of services including
digital systems and apps to monitor weight change, energy intake and outlet, as
well recipes and healthy meal ideas. For instance, if you are preparing a meal
that is not listed in the Weight Watchers database, you can calculate the Smart-
points value by ingredients with the help of appropriate mobile app or through
10. Calculating Food Energy: Calories and Smart Points
I have to recognize I am not a huge fan of calories counting. In fact, it’s
annoying and stressful task; a kind of heavy duty as for me. Also, it’s not very
easy to count calories accurately. We all are looking for perfect accuracy,
aren’t we? So, finding only close match leads to some frustration. As a result,
we tend to give up on calorie counting and on attempts to lose weight
altogether.
Besides, you should think long term about the weight loss process. Are you
ready to count calories every day of your life? If you are not, then do not even
bother starting. Anyone can restrict his calorie intake thanks to a temporary
diet, but when you stop, you will gain it again. Actually, your success here is
measured by not only the amount of weight you have lost but rather on how
long you keep it off.
It is well known that Weight Watchers program uses the own point-based
system. Every food is given a certain point value based on nutritional value.
That means it is no longer necessary to count calories like most of other diets
require you to do. Instead of this, you have to keep track of points.
The information about the Smart-points value of different food products is
available through Weight Watchers apps and online. Naturally, the exact
formula for Smart-points calculating is not available. However, you can find a
few variants of a rough formula made by mathematic enthusiasts. I have found
that this one looks most close to the original Smart-point formula:
SP = (Calories +Sugar*4 + Saturated Fat*9 – Protein*3.2)/33
Supposedly this formula could be applied to any food or recipe with nutrition
facts information. But fruit and vegetable exception makes it impossible in
many cases to calculate Smart-points scrupulously. For instance, restaurant
disclosure data includes veggies in the numbers.
Depending on your weight, your goal, age, gender, and your level of activity
you are allowed a particular number of points per day. Knowing your Smart
11. Point daily budget is very important.
Also, it is interesting to know how Points system evolves over time. Initially,
Weight Watchers point system stimulated to cut fats and consume fiber. Point
Plus system added protein in the equation. In December 2015, Smart Points
replaced Point Plus. The new scheme still guides users toward an eating
pattern that is higher in protein. The distinctive feature of Smart Point system is
stringent penalizing for high-sugar and high-saturated fat consumption.
Obviously, now calories content is not the one and only criteria to base your
food choices on. For instance, fiber in your meal will keep you feeling full
longer, which can prevent you from ingesting more calories. But fiber is absent
in the Smart Point formula. That’s why most fresh fruits and vegetables are
12. zero points in the Smart Points system.
On the other hand, point restrictions for eating pastries and cookies are pretty
high on the new program. Of cause, there were some people who had worries
that Smart Points system lacks flexibility in a food-point assignment. However,
can you disagree with the fact that an apple and banana are much healthier and
more nutrient-packed choices than cake and candy bar?
13. How do Fit Points work? Estimation of Energy
Expenditure
Exercising is the next vital factor to success in loses weight process. Every
type of physical activity is also given a Fit Points value; in this way, you are
rewarded for exercising. If you don’t know where to start, Weight Watchers
program will help you to uncover many different ways to earn activity points.
Things like walking the dog, dancing, housecleaning, playing golf, bowling,
gardening and yard work will get you some extra points. And certainly, you
shouldn’t forget to count your aerobics and weight lifting training.
Also, you can swap Fit Points for food if needed. Regular physical activity
helps prevent many health issues, improves sleep quality, and makes you feel
better. After your training session, you may find yourself more optimistic and
less stressed. That’s because good workout stimulates the release of
endorphins and others feel-good brain chemicals. Besides that, regular
exercising can increase your confidence. So, if swapping works well for you,
you can do it since these points are what you earn for being active. However, if
you cannot reach the result you want, you should refuse from swapping.
Fit points calculation formula takes into account your weight, the duration, and
intensity of your physical activity. Actually, the formula is pretty simple for
understanding:
Fit Points = weight in lbs*duration in minutes*intensity factor
The intensity factor of a particular form of physical activity varies between
individuals. It depends on a people exercise experience and their current level
of fitness.
In order to define the intensity factor of your workout just keep an eye on your
breathing patterns and sweating. So, a low-intensity workout does not change
your breathing pattern, and you are not sweating doing it. If you are not used to
physical exercising, low-intensity training sessions are a right place to start.
Yoga practice or simply stretching routine, as well as light walk, could be
14. good examples of low-intensity exercise. Of course, each of these exercises
might provide either low or moderate intensity training, depending on the pace
that you use.
A moderate intensity workout makes your breathing deep and often, but you are
not out of breath. It feels somewhat hard and results in a light sweating after
about ten mins of training.
A high-intensity workout seems challenging; you develop a sweat after 3 to 5
minutes. The ‘talk test’ shows that you can’t say more than a few words at a
time without pausing for breath. Examples of high-intensity exercise include
fast swimming, strength workout with free weights and weight machines, or
activities that use a weight of you own body – such as calisthenics, rock
climbing, or heavy gardening.
You need to choose the type of training that suits your level of fitness. If you
are not sure what your intensity factor should be, talk to your physician. If you
are new to workout, start at a light intensity and gradually build up to a
moderate intensity session.
The more intense and longer your physical activity, the more fat you burn.
However, balance is still necessary. Overdoing of physical training will
increase the risk of injury and overtraining. So, don’t push yourself too fast,
too hard; just be realistic. Fitness is a lifetime marathon, not a sprint to a finish
line. The basic rule here is “don’t give up.” You can change exercise, workout
plan and intensity factor depending on the goal and mood, but physical activity
must always be present in your life.
The benefits of ‘going beyond the comfort zone’ could be interesting for
advanced fitness practitioners in order to increase their performance level.
The point is not only to go somewhere but also to stay there, making discomfort
zone your new comfort level. Human is a highly adaptive beast; we could
adapt to some level of the discomfort too!
15. A Proper Mindset to Get Slim
However, in the long run, calories-in-calories-out approach alone does not
work. Being in the right frame of mind is a key factor here. Weight Watchers
positions their self as providing a lifestyle program, not just another variety of
diet. It is a much trickier thing; it is a business of behavior change. You should
realize that your target is not hitting the certain weight, but rather building new
eating and fitness habits. This kind of approach will allow you to benefit for a
lifetime.
When you reach your weight loss goal, you should figure out your new Smart-
points budget. Apparently, you need more points to stop losing weight. Also,
you enter a so-called maintenance period which lasts six weeks. Now your
goal is maintaining weight instead of losing, and you have to be focused on this
aim. During this time there will be regular weight-ins. If you stay within two
pounds of your goal weight in that six week period, you will be promoted to a
Lifetime Member. Lifetime members can participate in any meeting free.
However, they must stay within two pounds of their weight, so they have to
weigh-in at least once a month.
In reality, available statistic shows us that average weight losses achieved
through Weight Watchers program are modest relative to common anticipations.
According to one of the studies mentioned above, in one year's time, on Weight
Watchers, participants lost an average of twelve pounds only. But that's just
average numbers.
The bottom line is that program works well for people who are health
conscious. And unfortunately, the program is not going to work fine in a long-
term perspective for partakers who are less health conscious. Health conscious
individuals are concerned with nutrition, stress, physical activity, and their
environment. Also, they accept responsibility for their health and living with
healthy habits. In order to become more health conscious, you should learn
what healthy and unhealthy practices are.
16. Drink More Water
You need water to live; over 50% of your body mass is made up of water. That
means that water is the most important substance in our bodies. Among others,
vital functions water facilitates digestion, removes waste and toxins, and
regulates body temperature. Also, drinking enough water allows the liver to
break down fat more efficiently.
37%of Americans often mistake thirst for hunger. This data means that they
are eating instead of drinking when they are thirsty. Too much high-in-fat and
high-in-sugar foods in menu provoke weakness of thirst sensitivity.
75% of Americans are dehydrated chronically; so it is a good idea to drink
water regularly throughout the day. Start a new day with drinking water as soon
as you wake, and end just before sleep. In the morning water increases your
metabolism and in the evening drinking water decreases your hunger pangs.
There is no substitute for water, so you should drink water all the time. As a
fitness enthusiast, you will need to drink even more water to replace fluids lost
through transudation. Also, you need additional water to compensate for heat,
alcohol, and caffeinated beverages.
So, how much water should you drink daily? Well, it depends; there is a valid
test though. Keep an eye on the color of your urine and continue consuming
water until your urine is clear or light yellow.
17. How Protein can Help You Lose Weight
Protein is involved in building and repairing your cells and tissues. Also,
adequate protein intake is essential for optimizing hormones and burning body
fat. Protein typically consists of many amino acids; one of those amino acids –
Phenylalanine triggers hormones that reduce hunger and stimulates weight loss.
Even a single dose of Phenylalanine could decrease regular food intake,
increase a level of appetite suppression hormone GLP-1, and diminish the
level of the appetite-stimulating Ghrelin.
That's why Atkins diet, Paleolithic diet, and others protein-rich diet plans
could be useful in providing weight loss effect by making you feel full for
longer period. Just adding more proteins to your menu can help you to reduce
weight even without a complete nutritional revision. Our bodies cannot store
protein, so you need some of it every day.
Proteins can be found in animals or plants. Yep, plants like soy, nuts, and seeds
are rich in protein. Optimal protein intake is based on two factors: natural state
and balanced intake.
Natural state means hormone-free, free-range, and organic products which
have a better nutritional ratio and fewer detrimental factors. These sources are
preferred forms of protein over powder and snack bar.
Balanced protein diet means a mix of lean meat, eggs, seafood, nuts, and seeds.
By industry definition, meat can be considered lean if it has less than ten gram
of total fat, less than four and a half gram of saturated fat, and less than ninety-
five milligrams of cholesterol per 3.5-ounce serving. You can prepare lean
meat or simply cut off all white visible fat before cooking. It’s hard and not
very efficient to trim excess fat from processed meats.
Most seafood is considered lean too. Actually, some fatty fish are not lean, but
they are rich in heart-healthy Omega 3 fatty acids.
Both white and red meat has fat. The way you prepare the meat makes it lean.
18. Even chicken can be high in fat, so remember to take the skin off because the
skin adds a lot of fat. Also, broiling, grilling, roasting and baking are perfect
cooking techniques which help cut down the fat content of meat.
Lean meat tends to be dry so marinate it with a small amount of oil, lemon
juice and natural seasonings like herbs and spices. This trick makes lean meat
more tender and juicy.
19. Types of Carbohydrates: Simple, Complex, and Dietary
Fiber
Carbohydrates provide human’s body with its most favored form of energy but
ingesting too many carbs will gain up body fat.
Vegetables, fruits, grain, cereal, pasta, anything with sugar, sugar itself are all
carbohydrates. Naturally, we should moderate carbohydrates intake and focus
on eating complex carbs and avoiding simple carbs. Both things realized in
Weight Watchers program with the help of Smart-points conception. The main
difference between complex and simple carbohydrates is how they impact on
blood sugar level.
Simple carbohydrates break down too quickly and flood your blood with
excessive sugar. In order to regulate the blood sugar, your body releases high
amounts of hormone insulin into the blood. Insulin stops burning body’s fat and
instead, activates accumulating the unused sugar as fat. Growth hormone and
insulin are competitors; that’s why your evening meal shouldn’t include simple
carbs. Most of the growth hormone secretion occurs during sleep, and if insulin
levels are high, GH can’t access your cells.
One more hormone, adrenaline, which is released during intense physical
activity, suppresses insulin. In this way, adrenaline creates a one-hour window
when simple carbs can be consumed without increasing insulin. So if you
consume simple carbohydrates at all, best do it after exercise.
The more simple carbs you eat, the more you crave them. Foods which contain
simple carbohydrates are usually sweets, processed foods, starchy vegetables,
and tropical fruits. Well, we know that wide varieties of fruits are ‘free’ in
Weight Watchers program. Fruits are zero point foods because they are high in
fiber, as well as vitamins and minerals.
Complex carbohydrates provide a more constant flow of glucose into the
bloodstream; that keeps you energized for longer. Also, eating complex carbs
reduces hunger, helps you to eat less, declines risk of diabetes, and improves a
level of blood cholesterol.
20. Fiber also is a type of carbohydrates; it’s a substance in plants. However, we
can’t digest the fiber, so it passes through the entire intestine, mechanically
cleaning it.
High-fiber food is good for human health, but most Americans don’t eat enough
fiber. Many studies show that fiber is a highly effective nutrient for losing
weight. It slows down the movement and absorption of food. In this way, fiber
keeps you satiated longer, maintains your blood sugar, and speeds up the
process of eliminating toxins from your system. As we already know, the
reason why many different fruits and vegetables have zero Smart-point is their
high in fiber and relatively low-calorie count, which is perfect for weight loss.
Next to the veggies best sources of fiber include nuts, seeds, whole grains,
cereals, and legumes. You may also read on a food label about soluble and
insoluble fiber; both types are essential for health.
Soluble fiber lowers cholesterol levels, slows down the absorption of glucose,
stabilizes insulin levels, and as a result causes you to eat less.
Insoluble fiber absorbs water, swells in the colon and removes toxic waste
from there. One more function is to balance acidity in the intestines.
So, fiber helps eat less by acting as filler; it is also known to reduce the risk of
diabetes, obesity, and heart attack. However, you should add fiber to your
menu slowly over a period of a few weeks. This way allows bacterial flora in
your digestive tract to adjust to the change. Increasing fiber consumption too
quickly can lead to intestinal gas, abdominal bloating, and cramps.
And again, drink a plenty of water because fiber works better when it absorbs
water.
As you see we shouldn’t stop consuming carbohydrates; just choose the correct
option. Get more of your carbohydrates from fruits and veggies; eat them raw
with the skins for extra fiber. Eat whole fruit instead of drinking fruit juice. Eat
more grains, nuts, and seeds.
21. Eat Fat to Burn Fat
The Smart-point program reduces the penalty for fat consumption relatively to
the previous Points-plus system. Healthy fats are found in natural products like
olives, avocados, seeds, nuts, fish, and animal proteins. Unhealthy fats are
usually found in processed foods. Healthy fats provide energy, contribute to
building cells and hormone optimization, and facilitate vitamin absorption.
Probably, you have already consumed enough fats with your proteins.
However, in order to lose weight, you should make differentiate between
healthy and unhealthy fats.
Saturated fats are found in animal fat, like a full-fat dairy and fat on meat
products. This type of fat is natural but you should limit your consumption. The
reason for doing this is the fact that saturated fats increase the amount of
harmful cholesterol in the blood and that leads to restricted blood flow.
Another negative consequence is decreasing the body’s efficiency in removing
toxins from your blood.
Hydrogenated fats or trans-fats are the worst types of fats; you should avoid
them as much as you can. Trans-fats consumption is strongly correlated with
many health issues in general and heart problems in particular. This type of fat
is used in processed foods to make them last longer. Also, it is found in
packaged foods; store bought baked foods and fried foods.
Mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are best types of fats you can find.
So, monounsaturated fat helps lower your LDL(“bad”) cholesterol but still can
lead to weight gain if consumed too much. Usually found in olive oil, peanut
oil, and avocado oil.
Poly-unsaturated fats include two classes of fatty acids:
Omega-3 fatty acids are very healthy because they enhance the immune system
and protect your cells and tissues against degenerative changes. We need
omega-3 in our diet throughout the whole life for normal growth and
development. In particular, Omega-3 affects the nervous system, brain
development, IQ, and cognitive function. Great sources of Omega-3 fatty acids
22. are pumpkin seeds, walnuts, flaxseed, fish and fish oil.
Omega-6 fatty acids are necessary for normal growth and development but still
could be unhealthy in excessive quantities. It is also often over-consumed in
the typical American diet, so you should keep a balance of your consumption.
Usually found in sunflower, corn, sesame, and soy oils.
Mediterranean diet has a healthy balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats which
protects you from developing internal inflammation like obesity, cancer,
Parkinson’s, heart disease.
Also, you should know that many fat-free foods are high in sugar, so consuming
them doesn’t guarantee you are eating healthy. Avoiding fat could make
provoke your overeating because fats help you feel full longer. The key is a
proper balance between good fats and unhealthy fats. Also, you can limit
saturated fats by trimming any fat you see around the meat before cooking.
23. Social Support
Your environment defines your success. Does it sound familiar? That means
that in order to be successful you need to spend some of your time in a
company of people who support and encourage your efforts toward your goal.
Indeed, support is a significant component of Weight Watchers program.
Humans are social animals, and weekly group meeting made us feel more
accountable for our weight loss efforts. Clearly, people in a group-based
program are much more engaged and have a better success rate. Supposedly,
group support is also effective for long-term behavioral changes and steady
weight loss results.
Usually, schedule of the meeting includes weigh-ins, group discussion about
both scale and non-scale problem solving, and sharing best practices. Group
membership may vary from week to week, but the leader of the group is a
permanent person who has successfully completed Weight Watchers program
and received training from the company. Only your group leader and you see
what the scales say, so please don’t worry about the public humiliating weigh-
in.
Also, all Weight Watchers members have access to an online 24/7 Expert Chat.
Another innovation in the area of community and support is a phone-based
coaching program. You have great opportunity to choose your own personal
coach, work through your worksheet and create your own personalized action
plan.
24. Home Cooking with Instant Pot
The Weight Watchers program encourages home cooking. There are many
foods that are sponsored by Weight Watchers in most supermarkets.
Nevertheless, if you cook at home, you will eat much healthier.
Time-saving is probably the biggest benefit you notice with the Instant Pot. You
can cook a roast in about forty minutes with this remarkable kitchen-device.
Actually, you can prepare a slow-cooker recipe that usually takes six hours in
just in an hour. Perfect, right? And it’s enormously helpful for busy people like
you are.
Another significant benefit is that Instant Pot retains more vitamins and
minerals in foods and cooks flavorful meals. Besides IP softens the food, so
meat and bones can be prepared really tender. Beans and whole grains get soft
texture too.
Also, Instant Pot keeps your kitchen organized and clean. On the practical side,
it minimizes your cleaning efforts and reduces the number of kitchen devices.
On the financial side, it saves your money.
25. Soup Recipes
How can you have a satisfying meal that leaves you feeling full, but without a
high Smart-points value? Start your meal with soup. The water in soups
increases a size of the portion without increasing energy content.
It has been proven that eating soup more often reduces the risk of obese.
People who start their meal with soup eat up to 20% fewer Smart points.

63. Conclusion
So, should you sign up for Weight Watchers program?
Yes.
No.
Probably.
Actually, I don’t know. I mean, I don’t know anything about you. But I hope
that you know a little bit more about Weight Watchers program now. So, it is
totally up to your decision. Though, we could consider a few more ideas and
opinions here.
The Weight Watchers program is for women; it just doesn’t appeal to
males. It seems like about 90% of participants at Weight Watchers meetings
are female. Weight loss is a regular topic for women to discuss; it’s their
shared purpose. I suppose meeting and talking about weight loss are just
natural things for any women.
Any man with overweight could face health issues like impotence, heart
disease, diabetes, and cancer. Apparently, men also could benefit from Weight
Watchers program. Even more, the company provides weight loss plan,
customized for guys. And online consulting is an available substitution for live
meetings.
The Weight Watchers program is not free. So many people like almost
everything about WW except the cost. Indeed, after not losing weight for a
couple of weeks, paying for the program can feel completely stupid.
One the other hand, you have no contract with Weight Watchers; it’s just a
“pay-as-you-go” membership. Yeah, you have to pay, but this is for your health.
So, spending money on WW program is not a waste; it’s a smart investment.
Sometimes you choose foods that are not very healthy and nutritious. Well,
this is the other side of “no food is off limits” WW principle. For instance, it
could seem like a waste to use your Smart points for healthy olive oil, when
you could spend them on not-so-healthy cheese or bread.
64. That’s why a big part of this book is about proper eating habits. And of course,
I want to thank you for purchasing and reading this book. However, learning is
simply not enough. You must apply what you learn if you want to see results!

Yoga is similar to the healthy nutrition. If you use it correctly in the optimal
quantity, it will lead to unmatched physiological as well as psychological
health. And this eventually reflects into your life, improving its overall quality.
It is very special and positive ritual when you have woken up early in the
morning then take your place on the mat and start practice. At some point in
time, you start to feel your body entirely. You become a whole with your body,
which bends and flows itself. All it happens without opposing, but with some
primal pleasure. The ordinal thinking process is substituted by the inner
silence, the rest, and the clarity. You get a positive impulse, and you keep it
through the whole day long.
