I always disliked WW and it's ilk because they lean so heavily towards refined carbohydrates. The tendency of participants to relapse and yo-yo long-term is staggering, but completley predictable due to very poor insulin management on such diets.

What negative? I am not trying to discourage you at all. Just be ready to alter your diet after a while if you want to keep the gains long-term, that's all.

I am honestly clueless as to how you're going to lose weight with that diet. (Moreso how you're going to keep it off once you stop dieting). And today you should have forgotten about the butter so you could have eaten in the evening, it is extremely counter-productive if you start skipping meals.
 
Doing Good...

Ok, so its the afternoon, and I'm not feeling that hungry, (thank you phentermine) I had a big salid and some cezer dressing, I know...not the best choice in the world...I've been trying to bring water up stairs instead of coffee or food...we'll see how this goes... :)

Clearly people DO lose weight on Weight Watchers. I'm one of them. I'm on it right now. So far I've lost 9kg.

That said, Hannah - the foods you're choosing are very high GI. Simple sugars, refined carbohydrates. There's virtually no fibre in your diet at all. I know you can eat anything on Weight Watchers as long as you stay within your daily points total, but you might find you get better results - AND stay full for longer - if you make a few swaps.

For example, instead of puffed rice cereal, swap to oatmeal, or untoasted muesli, oat flakes, or something with a bit more fibre in it. (I know why you're choosing puffed rice, because you can have a lot - but really, it won't fill you up).

Cellophane noodles have no fibre. Why don't you use normal pasta with your spaghetti sauce, or better yet, wholewheat pasta.

Why are you using so much sugar in your coffee? Switch to an artificial sweetener, or better yet, wean yourself off sweet coffee altogether, and you'll save 4-5 points a day. If you can also get used to drinking it with skim milk instead of cream (even half and half is a killer) - it will save you loads of points.

Spanakotta Pie? Pizza? Nononono, darl - you're using up all your points on these foods when you could have had two huge salad sandwiches and four pieces of fruit. Weight Watchers is not just about sticking to points, it's about learning to make BETTER choices with your points. I would have a proper read of the site, and try to follow some of their meal plans.

It irks me that some people here are getting the wrong idea about Weight Watchers by reading what you're eating ;) Maybe I should post my food diary ;)

Anyway good luck matey - I am not meaning to be harsh here and I hope you take it the way I intended, as advice from one WW chick to another. :)

Here's a day plan for me, to give you an idea.

I'm only on 20 points.

Breakfast - Total 3.5 points

1/3 cup rolled oats, cooked with water - 2 points
1/2 cup skim milk - 0.5 points
1/2 sliced banana - 0.5 points
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar - 0.5 points

Mid-morning - 1 point

2 small nectarines - 1 point

Lunch - 4 points

Salad, made with:
3/4 cup drained chickpeas - 2 points
50 grams sliced deli ham - 1 point
2 tbsp low-fat cottage cheese - 1 point
Unlimited diced salad vegetables.. cucumber, tomato, celery, snowpeas etc.

all mixed together. Top with a little no-fat French dressing or lemon juice.

Afternoon - 3.5 points (I spread this over 3x snacks throughout the afternoon - I get low blood sugar)

1 tub low-fat 'Diet' yogurt - 1 point
1 apple - 1 point
10 x Parkers Pretzels, or small handful almonds - 1.5 points

Dinner- 5.5 points

Cajun Chicken kebabs

120g Chicken breast, diced - 3 points
Diced kebab-size portions of onion, capsicum (red & Green) and button mushrooms. - 0 points
Cajun seasoning - 0 points
Natural yogurt, 1 tbsp - 0.5 points
Cooked basmati rice (low GI), 3/4 cup - 2 points

Cover diced chicken liberally with cajun spice mix. Thread chicken onto skewers alternating with vegies. Grill (I use a George Forman type grill). Serve topped with yogurt, on a bed of rice.

Dessert - 2 points

2 x mini "lite" Mars bars
or 2 scoops of Weight Watchers vanilla icecream.

= 20 points


I am never hungry :)
 
That diet is terrible Hannah,

I think should spend some time reading about nutrition on the net or get a book on it.

Why not try to cut out the 4 spoons of sugar and 4 tblspoons of cream at every meal.

Morning


1 slice bread
2

4 cup black coffee
.5

3 Tbsp butter
9

4 Tbsp half-and-half cream
2

This meal is about 40+ grams of saturated fat with some empty calories from the bread. I honestly couldnt plan a worse meal than this. Not to mention all the caffeine.

Im really not trying to be mean, but I think you need to work out a healthier diet.

A proper meal should contain lean protein (chicken breast, tuna etc)

Low GI carbs (brown rice/pasta, whole wheat bread/cereal)

And healthy fats( avocado, olive oil, fish oil, nuts)

And NEVER skip meals, if you go hungry, then when your body does get food it is going to hang onto all of it and store it as fat. (especially if your meals are nothing but high gi carbs, and butter/cream etc.)

PS. SLM's diet looks great, and look how much food you can really eat if your eating the right foods,.
