I must say that this is one of those wee things that really bugs me lol. I often come across this perception that people following ww don’t eat healthily. Particular on the SW section of this forum. Its very unfair, because theres no reason to assume that all we eat is ww ready meals just because they are available. Who could actually afford to eat this way anyway? Plus most of us are feeding others too to it wouldn’t be practical!! I certainly wouldn’t give my kids ready meals, and why would I eat differently to them. I feel that ww can benefit the health of the entire family, plus I definitely don’t want my daughter noticing that I am ‘on a diet’. I tell her ww is a cookery class lol, I don’t want her knowing about me losing weight.
I think its great that these foods are available, for convenience, but they certainly don’t form part of the ww plan. The discover plan is all about using filling foods to make sure you are never hungry, and they are very healthy foods. My leader says if you do occasionally use these meals, then she advises you bulk them up with extra veg.
In theory, you could lose weight sticking to your points and by just eating rubbish, but you would be very hungry and therefore wouldn’t stick it longterm, plus you wouldn’t actually be following ww guidelines, so you aren’t really doing ww.
I agree with starlight on the wendy plan. In my personal opinion it promotes a pattern of binging and starving, which is an extremely unhealthy way of eating. And for good health, we should be moving away from that pattern.
For me, and I suspect the majority of us here, we are trying to improve our health in the longterm, and therefore we need to follow the ww rigidly.
I appreciate your circumstances are totally different to mine, if you are just looking a quick loss for a holiday, though it’s a shame you are going in with the attitude of saying you will gain it back, believe me hon if you try and lose weight again in the future it will get harder each time, yo yo’ing is bad news unfortunately – I am sure most of us have been there!!!! But I just thought I would give my opinion, as I would hate for someone to read this and think the wendy plan was part of the ww plans.
