Weight Watchers 3 Month Plan

hay thanks...

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. :)

The hunger upsets you in the night because you arent eating properly during the day.

Look at SLMs diet and the amount of food you can eat IF you do it sensibly. Your diet is severely lacking in nutrition and especially protein.

Coffee and salad greens is not a meal, of course you are going to be hungry during the night eating like that.
 
^^^you know there was a time where I used to get massive cravings/hunger pangs even after eating a HUGE dinner (this was in my "gluttonous" days ;)) or eating throughout the day. After looking back and analyzing these incidents , I was able to pinpoint my culprit : it usually happened after I had been binging/eating mostly carbohydrates, starches and refined sugars. I hated that feeling so much, it was like being physically full and then after a few minutes having this horrid rumbling in my tummy telling my mind to go EAT AGAIN! There is a scientific reasoning behind all this and I wil get back to that later.
In the meantime, I think Hannah is still in the process of tailoring this program to her body /specific dietary needs and hopefully suggestions (like SLMs scrumptious yet healthy one!) will help.
 
I have seen some edit:no need to say thatdiets in my day, but that fucking tops the list.


First off, your meals aren't spaced out. Two meals a day, and maybe a snack?

edit:no insults pls


Try to get 4-6 small meals a day with more protein and less carbohydrates.

I'm not talking atkins, but more protein less carbs is the way to go.


40% protein 40% carbs 20% fat works alright

Oooooh we would love to see your food diary ;) Maybe you can even put up a thread regarding that where everybody could contribute, get ideas and help each other too SLM =D
 
saying someone has a "shitty diet" isn't an insult.

These past couple days i've had a pretty shitty diet myself.

thanks for being sensitive to me and editing out the shit...and I will try to take your advice....:|
 
Hannah, Ill try give you some ideas for your diet,

Here is an example of kind of meals you could be eating:

meal 1 Breakfast:

Bowl of muesli with fruit and yoghurt
OR 2 slice toast(whole wheat or grain) with can of tuna and low fat mayo
OR 4 eggwhite ommellete (1yolk) with tomato, mushroom spinach and 1 slice toast

Snack Midmorning:

Piece of fruit, or small handful nuts, or tub of low fat yoghurt

meal 2 Lunch:

Mixed green salad with avocado, tomato, onioin, carrot, beets, and tuna or chicken breast
OR Wholemeal pita wrap with sliced turkey breast, low fat cream/cottage cheese, and fresh salad

Snack Afternoon: Fruit or tub of yoghurt or nuts

meal 3 Evening:

Grilled marinated chicken breast with broccoli, carrots, and brown rice
OR Grilled salmon with fresh salad

etc etc


This is just off the top of my head but as you can see it will leave you much more filled as you don't miss any meals, can snack during the day and all the food is extremely healthy.

The way your diet is now, you are wasting all your available points on things that dont leave you filled up, sugar, cream, butter, etc. Thats why will be hungry during the night and I can't see you sticking to it much longer if it leaves you so unsatisfied. You should never have to starve yourself on a diet, just have to plan your meals better.

Good luck
