Will I get very hungry with eating 24 points on weight watchers?

Question

Could someone give me a example of a day of meals?

My problem is I eat to many meals because i do not know what snacks to eat or I do not eat enough.

I am dibetaic also.

Answer 1

You should be hungry. You are on a diet, you are taking nutrients from your body to lose fat :). I would suggest that you start counting calories instead of using points, you will have more control and be able to get done faster if you actually understand what you are eating.

Check out this book it has done wonders for me.

Answer 2

the weight watchers plan is actually very good you feel very full if you follow whats allowed. I couldn't stick with it because i am not creative enough to make some of the suggestions they make so i got bored with eating the same things all the time. But if you like cooking then its good and you will lose weight the healthy way.

Weight Watchers allows you plenty of points, you should not be hungry. Especially since your diabetic, don't let yourself get sick. Also don't forget that you also get an extra 35 weekly points that you can use whenever and however you like. I like to save mine for a "big" meal on the weekends, but you could use a little at a time throughout the week if you get hungry.  

Breakfeast- 2eggs and 3 slices of bacon(8 points), or cereal with 1/2cup skim milk(3 points)

Lunch- turkey sandwich w/ 2 slices of wheat bread & 1tbsp. of mayo( 3 points) or salad with fat free dressing(0 points)

Dinner- boneless/skinless chicken breast(3 points) or 80% lean ground beef 1 patty(5 points) or 1 cup spaghetti(4 points)

Just some examples, but even using those with the highest point value; you've only used around 16 points for three meals, leaving you 8 more just for snacking(or extra meals if you like). Not to mention those 35 points that you could break up into your week.  Hope that helps some. Good luck to you.

You may actually find once you start eating fruit and vegetables that you're not using all your points.  

I'm finding that but be warned, I have also found after a couple of days I start to want to eat eat eat.  I find the answer to that is save the points, then use them sensibly when I'm hungry and really fancy something different.  

I have also set up a spreadsheet that works out the point value for foods so the points are to hand when I need them and this does actually help me in curbing my "blow the point system" days.  

If you need any help with this let me know and I can forward my spreadsheet to you.  

Also, buy some of their cookery books which will also give you some ideas.  I love the Shepherdess Pie which is vegetarian but I have been known to add some lean mince to it!

With the help of my spreadsheet, I have also gone through my other cook books and worked out the points for that meal and then if I'm a bit short with the points, I can adjust the recipe accordingly.  

Basically, Weight Watchers is all about eating what you want, when you want with no restrictions except size of the meals and you're not made to feel guilty if you have something to eat which "you shouldn't" which some diets do.  Once you know the points value of something, it will get easier.  

As for recipe ideas, chilli con carne with smallish portion of lean mince, plenty of mushrooms, courgettes, tomatoes, peppers makes a good meal with approximately 1.5 points per 100g and that means I can have my helping of cheese (which I'm still trying to cut down) and garlic bread and rice.  

Cottage pie with carrots, tomatoes and gravy with potato is also another good idea.

Basically, if you're cooking at home, adding plenty of free veg reduces the overall point per 100 g down and gives you the option of having more until you can cut down the portion sizes.  

Good luck and I have found that this system (not diet) works and you can take it out with you into restaurants etc so stick to it.
