No, it’s absolutely wrong. When a diet is planned, it is always prepared in such a way that it is not hampering our daily pattern and with few healthy modifications, our goal can be achieved. If we gain our target with our daily dietary habit, then nothing like it.


Weight Watchers Diet Plan

Planning a diet for achieving ideal weight ideal body weight should be a lifetime process and not a temporary one where you can stop the plan once you achieve the goal. With this in mind, there are certain pointers that we need to consider:

  • Make a realistic plan where achieving the goal is possible.
  • Every individual is different so is the diet plan. There is no set pattern for all individuals in the universe, plans are customized and made according to the height, age, dietary habits and caloric intake.
  • Never compare with others. “How is she possible to maintain a healthy weight?”, “When will I lose weight like her?”, these thoughts turn off the process of working hard towards achieving ideal weight.
  • In addition to diet, physical activity also is equally important to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Diet plan is prepared in such a way that you can have any kind of food but that doesn’t mean you can gorge on prepackaged foods. Eating plan involves inclusion of fruits, veggies and lean protein than junk up with empty calories.


Losing weight is not a flavor less process. You don’t need to let go off favorite food in order to achieve your goal, you can keep your daily diet pattern and lose weight accordingly.
