Original Weight Watchers Diet Plan

[Marsiet]

tinabeal if you want some of the older WW diet plan you can buy it from a site like amazon or ebay. But if you are a diabetic you need to follow your doctor's instructions first and then do a diet plan for your condition. PointPlus is the newest ww point diet plan and works perfectly if you follow it as it is. Plus is very flexible and fits to your lifestyle. Give it a try if you want!

Actually, I was on the original in '69-'70, and lost 35lbs in six weeks. I was in the Points plan in 2008, and lost 20lbs in three months. I was on the revised points plan last year for six months -- following it religiously, and lost NOTHING.

The original plan worked better for me. The old points plan was better than the current points plan. I, too, had been looking for the original, so thanks to the poster that pasted it here.

BTW: the controlled veggies are any with starch (potatoes, winter squashes, peas, corn, etc). A serving size of cooked veggies is 1/2 cup; raw is 1 cup.

Yes, the old program might have worked for you 40 years ago, because your metabolism was TOTALLY DIFFERENT 40 years ago and your dietary needs were TOTALLY different 40 years ago.

Now, I'm guessing you're at least 60 years old, and no longer "barely out of puberty." Your fitness level is different, your muscles are different, your hormones are different, your bone density is different, your metabolism is different. ANY diet you go on now, is going to affect you differently, than it would have, if you had done it 40 years ago before you had even hit your peak fitness capacity.

Furthermore, the diet changed because it was determined by Weight Watchers (you know, the people who invented it), that their recommendations were not as healthy as they could be. So they improved it, to make it healthier. Also, 40 years ago, the vast majority of middle-class women were still in the home, cooking all the meals for their families. The diet was marketed to women who did most of the cooking.

Either way, you'll lose weight. But the new way is healthier, and is set up as much more efficient for most demographics, and not as narrow a market potential as home-maker women.

Oh and the old way *did* include exercise as a daily requirement.
