We just published a new article by Jason Boehm that looks at the short term and long term track records of the Weight Watchers program.
PEERtrainer has long been a strong advocate of Weight Watchers as a proven and helpful tool to help people get a handle on the very first steps of long term weight control.
We have also observed that as people progress down the path of weight loss, people should start to develop a focus on using a wide variety of tools and ideas to help build upon their progress.
This new article goes deep into the science of how the Weight Watchers points system effects the body. And in particular, takes aim at the idea of "everything in moderation."
Thanks for posting this article. Years ago I "did" WW not very successfully. Every time I asked a question at the meetings about
the glycemic effects of the all the sugars that were allowed (and
that are found in the WW brand treats), it was brushed off with a
pat answer of " they're fine", don't worry about it...." I feel this is a huge dis-service to the thousands of folks in WW who deserve proven
information about the biochemistry and metabolics of their dietary
choices. It is time to stop "dumbing down" the dietary issues of health.
