No one will admit to weight loss being an easy task. We would have fewer instances of overweight people if losing the weight was easy. Losing weight can be a monumental task. Weight loss programs may be necessary for many people who are less capable of handling a diet or exercise regimen. Each program is different in a number of ways. There are some that are not good for you. Yet there are still some that are excellent for your weight loss goals. Can you tell which ones are really worth your time? Read on for more information on a few of the most popular programs.
One of the most popular programs on the market today is Weight Watchers. Weight Watchers has been around for a very long time, it’s a points based system that works. In this system points are assigned to different foods rather than calories and you are given a certain number of points per day. This way you get to choose what you eat. The support found in this system is no doubt quite encouraging to most who use it. One of the things that makes this program so popular is the amount of dietary freedom it offers compared with others like it.
Jenny Craig is one of the weight loss programs that have really grown in popularity over the last few years. The celebrity endorsements and ad campaigns are the main reason for this popularity run. The basic premise is that, when you become a member, you eat only “Jenny sanctioned” foods that you can buy at the local Jenny Craig center. You get weighed at regular intervals. This program is quite expensive and not for everyone although most say it’s a great one to try. Some people also complain about the tininess of the portions that they are limited to eating. This program really works but can be a difficult transition.
Another program you’ve probably heard about is the NutriSystem. The main target of this program is the glycemic index which is apparent in the food that is sent directly to your home. Like many other programs there used to be local centers but they are now primarily online. This is one of the most affordable systems on the market today. As far as affordability goes Nutrisystem takes the cake.
Losing weight is no small feat. A few may be able to handle just doing exercise and eating smaller portions. A lot of people however will need more help than that. If you can’t decide which program is the right one for you then I suggest talking to your physician. She will have some ideas of what might work and what you should steer clear of. Your needs are what matter and only your doctor can know them as well as you do. You will lose that weight and begin to feel like a new healthy you!
