Reply #25: another endorsement for weight watchers [View All]

I lost 60 pounds with them when I was a senior in high school, and kept most of it off for a good 10 years. I'm back on it now, hoping to lose some weight before trying to get pregnant. I eat the same dinners my non-dieting husband eats -- just in smaller portions.

For me, a diet that puts some food off limits isn't sustainable. I once heard Dr. Dean Edell say that the reason Atkins works for some people is that they like the kinds of foods Atkins allows you to eat. I don't. I like carbs and I like fruit. But if it works for you, hey, go right ahead.

Plus it just seems counterintuitive that FRUIT is bad for you. I know all the arguments, but it just doesn't sound right.
