How Weight Watchers Work
[/vc_column_text][ultimate_spacer height=”30″][vc_single_image image=”4342″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https://t.cfjump.com/55743/t/54978?Url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.weightwatchers.com%2fau%2ffood”][ultimate_spacer height=”30″][vc_column_text]
Pros for using Weight Watchers
1. Proven to lose weight
There is no doubt that Weight Watchers will lead to weight loss, ranging from 10-20kg at the end of the program if you follow it properly. If you are looking to become lean, then its a perfect program. With portion controlled recipes and balanced diet (e.g. reduced carbs, increase in protein), you will naturally lose your weights over time. While personal differences are expected, you would be satisfied with their success. Only thing that won’t come with the program is your will and determination to go through it . That’s why you need to join in one of Connect Groups with fellow Weight Watchers to keep your self motivated and ask questions. Many past Weight Waters have expressed that program was easy to stick to and felt more like a lifestyle than a diet.
2. Very Flexible Program – SmartPoint
One strength of Weight Watchers Freestyle Program is that you get to have the freedom to choose what you eat and drink, as long as you stick to the SmartPoint budget you have been given. There’s nothing worse than being restricted with what you can eat right? What they have done is turn the table around to give you the choice of what you want to eat! How SmartPoint works is that each food and drink has a number based on its total energy, sugar, saturated fat and protein. All you do is add them up and keep it under your personalised SmartPoint budget. As you enter, the score will increase and get closer to your budget point. If you reach it, then you have had your meals for the day. If you have ever used an app called MyFitnessPal, its very similar system.
3. Wide range of recipes for different dietary requirements
What makes Weight Watchers value for money is their wealth of recipes to choose from. enjoyed following Weight Watchers Recipes with over 4,500+ to choose from. The recipes are healthy and delicious, which uses simple and nutritious ingredients with the SmartPoints already worked out for you. What’s good news is that Weight Watchers supports wide range of dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and breastfeeding mums.

Cons of getting Weight Watchers
1. Cancellation
Number of people have expressed that they had issues with cancelling their membership. Make sure you read the terms and conditions before you sign up, understand how long you are signing up for and their cancellation policy. This includes requirement for you to notify Weight Watchers to stop the payment after the contract ends (the company will continue to take the fee post the contract period to enable people to continue using the app and services).
2. Early payment requirement
Weight Watchers takes payments from your account not at the start of each month, but 2 weeks before the start of each month. This makes changing and cancelling your plans difficult.
3. Customer Service could be better
Just like any other call centres, we all have that love and hate relationships with customer service. Some have expressed that follow up service and communication have not been timely or live up to their expectations.[/vc_column_text][ultimate_spacer height=”30″][vc_column_text]
