How many of us were chubby kids who slimmed down as teens?

I'm one.

My freshman year of high school I did a modified old style Weight Watchers (from the old book) with only 2 pieces of bread a day, no potatoes, and no starchy vegetables. My problem was that I started to skip breakfast and only eat half a sandwich for lunch with one little piece of thin sandwich meat and whatever was made for supper. So, I lost weight but had no idea how to keep it off, and learned a bad lesson about skipping breakfast.

Looking back at the old book, it's really a lower carb for life philosophy, you eat the way you will for maintenance right from the beginning. Too bad they switched to their stupid points system, they could be helping people instead of just taking their money.
