You&amp;amp;#39;re in good company. The program is one of the most popular weight loss programs available and most Weight Watchers reviews rate it very highly. But that doesn&amp;amp;#39;t mean that it&amp;amp;#39;s &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/how-to-find-the-best-diet-for-you-3496382&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;the right diet for you&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.\u00A0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;So how do you know if Weight Watchers can really work in your life for long-term weight loss? This complete guide will give you essential Weight Watchers information to help you make a smart decision.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;What Is Weight Watchers Diet Plan?&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Before you sign up for the diet, it&amp;amp;#39;s important to understand how Weight Watchers works. On this plan, you don&amp;amp;#39;t count calories or eat commercially prepared meals, like you do on &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/diet-meal-delivery-reviews-for-you-to-compare-3495214&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;other popular diets&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. Instead, you count &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;SmartPoints&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; and earn &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;FitPoints&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;No food is off limits at &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.weightwatchers.com/us/&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;4&amp;quot; rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Weight Watchers&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. But each food is given a SmartPoint value based on the calorie count and the grams of &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/reduce-your-saturated-fat-intake-2506573&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;saturated fat&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/how-to-choose-good-lean-protein-3496240&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;protein&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/should-i-count-fat-calories-or-sugar-to-lose-weight-3495379&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;7&amp;quot;&amp;gt;sugar&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. Foods with more saturated fat and sugar will have higher point values. Protein decreases the SmartPoint value.\u00A0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Each day you have a certain number of SmartPoints you can consume. If you eat foods that are high in SmartPoints, you&amp;amp;#39;ll\u00A0&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/how-to-eat-less-3495760&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;8&amp;quot;&amp;gt;eat less food each day&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;,\u00A0and you may get hungry.

And &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/protein-snacks-to-keep-in-your-fridge-3495316&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;10&amp;quot;&amp;gt;lean proteins&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; have low SmartPoint values as well. So the SmartPoint system encourages you to eat foods that are nutritious and low in calories. But the system also allows you to &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/the-best-sweet-snacks-for-dieters-3495256&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;11&amp;quot;&amp;gt;indulge once in a while&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; and eat foods that are less healthy.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Weight Watchers also provides you with a FitPoints goal. You earn FitPoints with exercise or &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/ways-to-burn-calories-without-exercise-3496380&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;12&amp;quot;&amp;gt;other daily physical movement&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.

The program has been studied along with other commercial plans, and &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;some&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; research has found that it works. But whether or not the plan will work for you depends on whether the plan fits your lifestyle and your needs. If it does, then you&amp;amp;#39;re likely to stick to the plan and lose weight.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;But if you &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/how-to-find-the-best-diet-delivery-plan-3495207&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;21&amp;quot;&amp;gt;don&amp;amp;#39;t like to cook your own food&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, if you don&amp;amp;#39;t benefit from group support and if you don&amp;amp;#39;t like the bother of having to count daily food points, then you&amp;amp;#39;re not likely to stick to the program long enough to lose weight.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Be sure you take enough time to gather enough Weight Watchers information to make a smart choice.
