Just a quick clarification on Weight Watchers, being a successful
~50-lb loser:
Weight Watchers only introduced Personal Cuisine, their packaged
food program, in mid-1992 (if I recall correctly). The Weight Watchers
program still stresses, and revolves around, learning how to
buy and cook "real" food in a healthy, satisfying way, as it has
for something like 40 years or so.
I have personally tried the Personal Cuisine, and know many other
WW members who have done the same. It is a good way for members to get
an idea of appropriate portion sizes, etc., and is convenient
for hurried schedules and the like. But it is an *optional*
supplement to the eating behavior guidelines and lessons learned
in the WW program.
I believe this is contrary to the Nutri-System program, which
actually requires N-S packaged food to be purchased for at least
part of the time on the program. I do not have any personal
experience with N-S (since I chose WW for the very reason that the
packaged food was *optional*), however, and would appreciate
clarification of these facts if they are incorrect.
[Note: I am not a representative or employee of Weight Watchers,
Nutri-System, or any other weight-loss organization.]
