With Atkins, I lose weight, my cholesterol goes down, and I'm not hungry.
With Weight Watchers, I was miserable all the time, lost almost no weight, had my will eventually break (which lead to slipping off the diet and putting the weight right back on), and it cost me lots of money.
They should call them Money Watchers as you watch your money go to them.
My sister keeps trying their program. Over 20 years of trying with them, she's gained 50 some pounds. No Thank You.
Atkins works fine for me, thanks anyway.
Well, no program works for everyone. But I did lose a great deal of weight with WW and have been keeping it off for quite some time.
Too many people seem to believe that just paying the weekly meeting fee and sitting through a meeting should somehow translate into weight loss -- not that I'm accusing you and your sister of doing that, but it is a common source of problems ...
I was on Atkins for 6 months and lost about 20 pounds. I was miserable, craving bread, orange juice, and potatoes.
I eventually went off it gained the weight back and then some.
I went on Atkins again and the second time, lost nothing. My cholesterol went up to the roof.
I joined Weightwatchers along with my sisters, and we have all lost weight (I have lost 17 pounds since the beginning of May) and find it a very easy diet to stick to.
Pepople should evaluate the choices of diets and find the ones which work for them. I am not going to attack Atkins, because I know it has worked for many people. It just didn't work for me.
Why do you feel it necessary to attack Weightwatchers? If it doesn't work for people, then they should find something else which does. At my weekly meetings are plenty of people who have lost 30+ pounds, and the leader has been a member for 20 years and has held her weight at the same level the entire time.
I find it puzzling that people need to get upset about diet plans. People should just find the one that works for them, rather than attacking those they don't like.
