One of the most enduring calorie-counting diets is the Weight Watchers Diet. But instead of counting the actual calories in different foods, the Weight Watchers Points system assigns points values to foods. Based on your weight loss goals, lifestyle, age, and gender, you can choose a target point range and then eat (almost) anything you want as long as you don’t go over your daily points. Sort of like playing blackjack, but with food.
Also, Weight Watchers stands out as being one of the few calorie-counting diets that markets to, and is accepted by, many men. The Points system takes gender into account, and the Weight Watchers websites, meetings, and publications are more gender-neutral and accessible to men than many other diets. The plan takes into account that not all men are, or ever were, natural-born jocks, and the hints for getting starting on an exercise plan while watching your food intake are aimed at men, too.
Alternatively, if you are in a weight maintenance phase or if you want to lose weight without counting points while still enjoying online and offline community support, meal ideas, and healthy lifestyle tips, fear not. Weight Watchers’ Core Plan is based on energy density, recognizing your hunger signals, and eating satisfying, healthy foods without overeating.
