Has anyone tried weight watchers? I was debating it but am not sure how effective it really is.
Good. Good. Good. Glad you've decided that fast in not necessarily the best way to approach this.
As far as WW. Yes, it's good. It WORKS -
IF you stick with it. It's a way of counting and tracking your food intake. It will help you set limits. But you of course need to MAKE it work.
I for one, am a calorie counter. For me, it's more precise and easier. I find it simpler to learn (and yes, you'll have to learn) the calorie counts of foods, instead of points. thedailyplate.com & fitday.com or 2 of many sites to help you along with that.
Any plan that you should choose can always be tweaked and adjusted and totally switched if you find it's not for you. But of course at some point, you will just have to decide that you want to do this and make something WORK.
But having a plan is essential. Eating healthy does require effort and advanced planning as eating healthy just doesn't happen on it's own.
Rid your home of the junk, fill it up with filling, nutritious healthy and delicious foods. Map out your food schedule a day or so in advance, stick with it and you are on your way to a new and healthy lifestyle. All the best.
