Let me explain my weight loss plan a little, as I should have from the start...
Through plenty of attempts (I have tried them all), I decided to do my own version mixing elements of two of the bigger plans that I have a lot of time and respect for; Weight Watchers Discover Plan and Slimming World.
To many it may seem a little hap-hazard but for me it works and at the end of the day isn't that what matters?
Weight Watchers Discover Plan:
This is one of the older plans from WW but I had a lot of success with it back then and have always reverted to it when I need to cut-down. I like that I can eat whatever I like as long as I am prepared to spend the points and that I can calculate the points on anything I have the nutritional value for.
I don't agree with pointing most fruits & vegetables because it can discourage you from eating them to keep points for other less nutritious foods.
Slimming World:
I think the concept of having a 1/3 of all meals be super free fruits and vegetables is really positive and healthy.
I don't feel that the unlimited amounts of carbs (in my case pasta) really worked for me - obviously I know it based on the 1/3 rule but I just found myself eating enormous portions, I need to weigh.
My Version:
I count points (21 per day and I try to save at least 4 a day for the weekend).
I do not count points for fruit or vegetables.
I do not count activity points.
I have my own weekly weigh-in every Wednesday morning - I'll let you now how I get on!
Its not scientific and it may not make sense to anybody else but as I said I am doing this for me so as long as it works for me and my body I will keep going!
