Hi Laura and welcome. What do you think of the difference between following a WW type diet and LC so far?

Hey Diane,

I am eating more real food - I realize this was possible on WW but I was forever saying to myself - Okay, self, I can have 2 bags of M & Ms for 12 points, a large McDonald's fries for 14 points and then eat lettuce for supper. Extremely uncool!

Now I am eating meat, eggs, cheese, vegetables and I am a happy camper! My family freaked out this morning when I got up to make eggs and bacon!! They are pleased.

Laura

I think that is kind of funny, because advocates of Weight Watchers are always claiming that it is a healthier way to eat than Atkins. Obviously, it is possible to abuse both diets by eating unhealthy foods.

So true Liz and I was master of that on WW for sure! I manipulated my plan to be able to have what I wanted when I wanted it. Overdeveloped id! I got to a point where what I ate didn't resemble one iota of real food!
