i remember when the lowcarb craze was really ramping up, weight watchers and healthy choice started marketing low-carb versions of their foods. only problem was, their idea of "reduced carb" was a difference of a whopping 2g of net carbs... 13g instead of 15g for a meal of chicken breast, rice, and green beans or something like that. they wanted to jump on the bandwagon without actually providing products that satisfied a lowcarb lifestyle.

i'm not exactly surprised that weight watchers is sitting back on its laurels (and profit statement), continuing to push their systems that obviously don't work for the majority of their clients. it's like the definition of insanity... doing the same thing over and over again in search of a new result. people are going to stick with the confused mentality of "it's weight watchers... it's supposed to work!"

ww has always relied on mainstream nutrition advice in their plans. In another ten years they might even be selling LC. We can only hope.

I lost wieght on low fat about fifteen years ago. It was miserable. I could eat and eat and still not feel satiated. I was good at producing fancy low-fat cuisine too, it just never would satisfy since the fat button was not getting pushed.
