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 eatingMaybe 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.![]()
