This is probably the most popular diet in England – most likely because it is very clearly and clearly designed and stated, that is, they did all the work for you. It was developed in the United States thirty years ago by Jane Nidich, and Bernice Western adapted it to the conditions of Great Britain. The diet of the society “Weight Watchers” is designed in such a way as not only to cause weight loss, but also to teach those who are losing weight to eat right. This is achieved mainly due to the fact that the amount of food eaten is strictly counted every day, the portions are tightly cut, and each calorie is taken into account. “Weight Watchers” have developed a variety of menus, and in stores you can buy their prepared dishes and products for cooking. Regular meetings with other losing weight provide psychological support, in addition, a magazine is published, which offers various tips and recipes. “Weight Watchers” consider almost all aspects of losing weight in their strategy, making it possible to lose weight without harm to health. Losing weight is switched to healthy foods, taking into account psychology and lifestyle.
