(Food-Beverage-News.Com, October 30, 2014 ) Oakland, CA -- Diets that promote healthy eating habits are the ones that ought to rank high on any health-conscious individual's must-try list. The Weight Watchers Diet, particularly, has earned raves by making it easier for dieters to lose weight through healthy food choices. Contemporary kitchenware manufacturer Finesseur believes that such concept has redefined the way individuals perceive dieting.
"Today, dieters lean more towards a diet program that lets them stay healthy while helping them lose weight. The Weight Watchers Diet is designed around this idea, which makes it a more attractive diet plan for individuals who want to shed unwanted pounds the healthy way," says Finesseur spokesperson Allison Montgomery.
Since its launch in November 2010, the Weight Watchers Diet has emerged as the No. 1 Best Weight-Loss Diet program, based on U.S. News rankings. It has also clinched the top position in the Easiest Diets to Follow and Best Commercial Diet Plans categories. Moreover, it placed 3rd, 6th, 13th, and 15th in the Best Diets Overall, Best Diets for Healthy Eating, Best Heart-Healthy Diets, and Best Diabetes Diets categories, respectively.
How does this top-ranking diet program make weight loss a success? Citing helpful information from the U.S. News website, Finesseur takes a look at how the Weight Watchers Diet can help the health-conscious effectively lose weight through healthy food choices.
Weight Watchers Diet: Making healthy choices to eat less
The Weight Watchers PointsPlus program is built on the concept of choosing healthy foods that are filling, so that one will eat less. It assigns every food a point value, based on its protein, carbohydrate, fat, fiber, and calorie content, and how hard one's body has to work to burn these off. For example, processed foods have the highest point values, so they should be eaten in small amounts or less often. In contrast, fresh fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber and are more filling carry zero points, which means they can be eaten as often as one desires. Those who follow this diet plan can eat whatever they want, as long as they stick to their daily PointsPlus target, which is a number based on one's gender, weight, height, and age. The program claims one can drop up to 2 pounds weekly.
The diet program is said to promote heart health and diabetes control. Although there's no good evidence to prove the latter, because it helps in losing weight, it essentially can help prevent the risk of acquiring weight-related diseases, like diabetes.
Promoting portion control with Weight Watchers Diet
While no food is off-limits with the Weight Watchers diet, dieters are taught to control food portions and turn their favorite meals into healthy ones.
Montgomery believes that this flexibility in shaping one's diet can be easily enhanced with the use of practical kitchen aids like a kitchen scale. "The Finesseur Digital Food Scale is specifically designed for proper portion control. If you're planning to adopt the Weight Watchers Diet, you can easily practice portion control using this device as it helps you measure precisely the exact amount of each ingredient when you cook your meals. By weighing meals, you can easily track and understand your nutritional needs and consequently, adopt healthy eating habits," shares Montgomery.
An easy-to-follow diet program
Many prefer the Weight Watchers Diet as it resembles regular eating patterns. Daily points are high enough to allow for three meals a day, plus at least two snacks – which means dieters need not starve themselves to lose weight. The program promotes satiety by emphasizing fiber-packed foods to keep one feeling fuller, longer. Treats are also encouraged, and dieters are also allowed a weekly cushion of 49 extra points on top of their individualized target when they want to eat more than usual.
In following the Weight Watchers Diet, Montgomery urges dieters to refer to this helpful information and consult with their dietitians to fully understand how the diet works. "This simple guide is just a quick reference for gauging the values of the Weight Watchers Diet. Work with your dietitian to check if this diet is tailored to your nutritional needs and health condition," concludes Montgomery.
