This is true. I took it in an attempt to alleviate my insomnia as it is often prescribed off label for it and I woke up wanting to commit harm. This was a wild empty evil feeling, I've never wanted to go out of my way to hurt people but damn was I ready to at that point. I can only imagine what it does to these delayed obeasts.
WW has absolutely no redeeming features unless taken with premium one on one counselling IMO. Plus someone ALR’s weight gets such enormous numbers of daily points, I suspect there is something seriously wrong with whatever algorithm they use to determine points. I realise the overall idea of zero point foods is to get people with limited points to concentrate on whole foods, and that does tend to work for serious 150-200lb dieters that have around 25 daily points. It means nothing though to a fast food junkie with 80+ points a day. It is generalised that a WW point is the equivalent of 50 calories, so in Amber’s case her daily allowance gives her 4000+ calories and whatever she adds in zero point foods…and she still nearly always exceeds her points on a daily basis.
I lost 120 pounds on WW. Kept it off 2 years.
Guarantee you didn’t start at 550lb with 80+ daily points that you just had to use every one of them (and more) up every day. If they were so good then they wouldn’t have to change their plans up every couple of years, and they wouldn’t have needed to change their corporate name because of all the negativity surrounding the Weight Watcher brand. “Wellness that Works”…BS!!! Everybody that has the drive and determination to succeed on basic WW, could do just as well (if not better) by simple calorie counting on a free app. Amber can’t succeed on any plan because she simply won’t deprive herself of anything she wants that she can buy. Just like WLS didn’t work for her because she couldn’t simply walk in, write a cheque, and get it done.
Did you join just to tell us that?
Already stated by @I call shenanigans but sometimes emphasis is required.
I think that we are back because WW is safe for her. The plan has so many points that she does not fell any restrictions on her diet. She does not want any restrictions on what she can eats and how much she eats. Besides, she will buy loads of food from WW. Losing weight is secondary to show that she is doing a diet.
She’ll still exceed her extra weekly points within a couple of days…if she hasn’t already. Day one and she already overshot her daily points and used a quarter of her weekly ones on absolute crap food. Guaranteed that she underestimated her points as well eg. only 6 pts for that huge serve of Mexican rice seems very low.
I don't disagree. WW is calorie counting with training wheels. The tools made it easier for me. The thing is you actually have to work the plan. She never does. Why she even bothers is beyond me. If a dietitian at the weight loss surgery was ignored she sure as hell won't follow WW which is calorie counting at its core.
I don't see why Diet Coke would have points. There is nothing in it to trigger an insulin response, hence why it isn't processed by the body and therefore counts as a 0 calorie beverage.
