Question

I am in the process of coming off of a low carb/high fat diet and trying weight watchers for the first time. I have no clue what to expect and curious if the digital plan is as helpful as going in for meetings. I hate meetings since I am in them throughout my work day. Anyone make this transition and have any tips to share?  

Answer 1

Yes, I came off the keto and went straight into weight watchers online. Now, I did gain some weight at first. But I will say when I lost it again I’ve found it super easy to keep it off and maintain. Weight watchers doesn’t say no you can’t have that it teaches you healthy choices and decisions. Whereas keto was so very strict and not likely something that you’ll maintain forever. The online community on app and here is so helpful and supportive. You’re gonna do great!  

Answer 2

Depending on your personality, meetings may help you stay on track. I’ve done it both ways and I was more motivated when I had to weigh in at a meeting. As a treat to myself, if I lost weight I didn’t stay for the meeting. This time around I’m doing online only because I simply don’t have time to make the weekly trip to weigh in. I’ve learned to be disciplined, it just took longer.  

Answer 3

I find the meetings very helpful for keeping me on track. I have made some new friends and we share helpful hints and recipes. I have other friends who only do it on line and they are doing well also. It's all in what works best for you. I have lost 82 pounds since I started 11 months ago. Keep yourself accountable, I believe that is the key. I am looking forward to reaching my goal in the next few months. Best of luck to you, whatever you decide to do.
