I really liked WW. Despite being a multi time Ironman I found myself in need of losing weight. I lost 30 lbs in 2 months following the purple plan. I’ve kept it off for several years. Never should have gained it in the first place.
80 % of the meals I prepare are WW friendly from skinnytaste.com they get automatically loaded into the WW app for the last 20 years.
I would suppose the middle person waits until one of the edge people gets up, then follows next?
There’s a chapter in Moby Dick about this, when the narrator (he says ‘Call me Ishmael’ but is that his real name? We’re not sure, are we?) describes the night before they ship out and he shares a bed with Queequeg
“truly to enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself. If you flatter yourself that you are all over comfortable, and have been so a long time, then you cannot be said to be comfortable any more.”
WW terrible system with points. sugar free cool whip is 0 points, with the worst ingredients ever, and people binge on that stuff in WW facebook groups
I dont personally like it either, but, it works for a lot of people.
You need to understand that there is a hierarchy of importance to dietary health, and for most people who need to lose weight, calorie intake is king, followed by protein intake, then carbs and fat and everything else doesn’t really enter the equation unless you become kind of obsessive about it.
If sugar free cool whip helps people lose 30 lbs, that’s an acceptable evil in many cases. It’s a fantastic first step.
People’s metabolic health almost always improves with weight loss, and gets worse with weight gain. So yeah, worry about calories and whatever strategy a person can use to lose weight successfully is a good one.
I’d put good money on metabolic health improving more in group of obese people losing weight on a “horrible” diet, than a group of weight stable obese people put on a “healthy” diet of whatever stripe someone wants to advocate.
Also using the online only pharmacy sites you can just lie about your weight to get a prescription. There isn’t any verification they use. Had a non-overweight friend do that when she wanted to be really skinny.
