Old ww exchange program

I had forgotten about it until a couple of nights ago when I was searching the internet for Weight Watcher programs. Four weeks ago I joined WW again, and had no success with the new program so I decided to search for the older program since I had long ago thrown out all of my booklets.

I was able to find enough information here and there to piece together a workable program with some modifications. The exchange system is perfect for people like me that need a more structured weight loss plan. There are still plenty of choices available but you are more restricted as to how much and what you can eat. In the new WW program, there is no reference as to how much carbohydrates should be consumed daily. Ope thanks for commenting. I am reducing animal protein in my diet. I've also explored raw.

Donna Gates of the Body Ecology Diet suggests moving toward raw. Living Cuisine is a great resource. Do you have favorite resources? I used to have a weight problem myself, but I have found a solution - I am now eating raw food, i. I have cut meat from my diet. I have lost over 70 lbs. I was overweight and someone very close to me lost a LOT of weight and their transformation inspired me to do the same.

Okay, so maybe "inspired" isn't the perfect word. Maybe "envy" : Whatever it was, it worked! Brian walking is not only potentially enjoyable exercise, but easy and inexpensive. In the past WW used an exchange system, and now points rather than calorie counting per se. I don't know if WW has incorporated the principles of GI. Hi there I love walking, and have used it successfully for weight loss many times, but you are SO right about eating the right things too, no matter how much you exercise, if you are eating wrong you wont lose any weight!

Does Weight Watchers also use a low glycemic diet? I know they focus mostly on calorie counting, at least when my mother was doing it, but that was years ago! Thanks for visiting laura. It's been a while since I 'dieted' as well, but good luck on your venture. Check out my Weight Watchers recipe hubs.

I so remember the WW plan in the 80's! Brings back great memories! I don't think I've dieted since! Love it! Thanks again for the data! I ride my bike but during the summer it is not three times a week Regarding 1: Perhaps the new WW plan has a better way of dealing with sodas, but I would probably compute something like this: A canned Coke is calories. One bread serving is about 80 calories and one fruit is That would be your for your coke.

Obviously not something you should do every day. The fruit is clearly better for you than the Coke. Personally, I would tell you that caffeine depletes the immune system, and there are many experts now saying that refined sugar is one of the most detrimental components of the American diet. Sodas contribute to an acid environment in the body, which is a more inviting environment for diseases including cancer. It takes 32 glasses of alkalized water to counteract one soda. Check out hubs on Kangan Water for more info.

Regarding 2: You can allot yourself extra servings, say for example extra milk, and extra protein servings per day. The basic WW plan for women is about calories a day.

I chose to go with a day. WW also says 2 bread servings and 6 protein. Since I was a starch-aholic at the time, I went with 4 breads and 5 protein. I consistently lost 2 lbs a week. See the beauty?! And the meetings cost money and I was on 2nd lieutenant pay. Can you inspire yourself, or do you need a network?

Feel like I got to know you a bit better, which was lovely. Also, I'm looking into WW because I just had my third baby and would like to slim back down. So a few quick questions. Awesome hub!

I've done WW several times. I'm back on it again for about the 5th time now. I've finally come to the realization that it has to be a way of life, not a quick fix to a weight problem. Great info here!! Thanks for all of the great information. I have been using a website called www. Rice krispies treats recipe rice krispies treats chocolate pecan rice ….
