10 best weight watchers TIPS You need to know today! “Here are my top 10 lessons and tips that I learned from Weight Watchers.”
1. These 3 nutritional elements are so important: (fat, fiber, & calories). Fiber is often overlooked as an important part of nutrition, but trust me, it is so important. Let’s just say that it’s difficult for me to eat anything with 2 grams of fiber or less. When you are looking at a nutritional label, examine these three elements. If fat is too high and fiber is too low, don’t buy it.
2. Eat your veggies! Veggies are so important in so many ways. Find out what you like and stick with that. For example, if you do not like carrots, don’t stress about eating them everyday! Focus on veggies that you will actually eat! Be realistic.
3. Salsa is your best buddy. Salsa is worth zero on Weight Watchers. Eat it, love it … put it on your omelettes and use it as a dip for your baby carrots. (Have you tried that?)
4. Drink soup before a big meal—you will eat one-third less calories. This is a great tip for going out with groups of people. Sometimes I find myself in a situation where everyone around me wants to order an appetizer. In order to watch my cravings (and keep my mouth busy!), I will order a broth-based soup. Then I will become full faster and eat less during the actual meal.
5. Eat what you like! Who are you trying to impress anyways? Confused? Take this example: Recently, I went to dinner with some friends and it was at a nice sit down restaurant with beautiful meals. Do you know what I craved the most? The appetizers! So, I ordered the tapas (pita bread and an assortment of dips like hummus and garlic … mmm) and french fries. I didn’t eat all of it but it completely satisfied me. Also, I saved money in the process!
6. Figure out where the amazing tastes are coming from. Example: I love fajitas. Love them. Prior to Weight Watchers, I would order them with extra cheese and sour cream. Now I tell them to hold both the cheese and the sour cream and order guacamole. Guacamole is my weakness and it tastes great by itself on fajitas. (I pile on the salsa, too! See #3.) Also, I am obsessed with subs—I really love them. Prior to Weight Watchers, I always had cheese on my subs and now I always say, “Hold the cheese.” Who needs the extra calories anyways?
7. Don’t go hungry and don’t get full. I eat constantly in little meals and I try very hard not to become hungry. When I get hungry, I eat too much. It’s also important to monitor your fullness because your body does not need that much food!
8. Watch your servings! This is one of the biggest that I learned. For example, if you have a can of soup you would ideally want that can to be your full meal, right? This works great because there are only 110 calories, right? Wrong. Most likely that can of soup holds two servings and therefore 220 calories for the whole can. Servings can be deceiving so keep your eye out for them.
9. Prepare yourself ahead of time. Where are you going to dinner tonight? I bet your preferred restaurant has an online menu! Pick out what you want ahead of time or call ahead to see if they can accommodate your wishes!
