In reply to the discussion: John Goodman (Dan, on 'The Conners') lost 200 pounds [View all]ProudMNDemocrat
(18,586 posts)32. My former Internist suggested that style of eating.
What I love about the Weight Watchers lifestyle, I can insert that mindset into how I eat. I use a lot of extra Virgin olive oil as a salad dressing, to lightly saute, roast. Wines on ocassion. Plenty of exercise, some low glycemic fruits, fresh veggies, greens, lean proteins.
Being I cannot eat breads, wheat pastas, white potatoes, white rice, beans, corn, soy products, and most dairy, I also incorporate a Keto mindset as well. I get the best of both and still stay within my daily and extra weekly point range Weight Watchers gives me as a frame to plan my day. Even when I travel, I remain mindful at all times.
