Low Carb version of WW

I have seen some of WW lower carb menu plans, and they are
nice balanced menu plans with a "lower" carb leaning, but
certainly not "low" by atkins standards or anything. It
looks like a good healthy diet.

Hey, some one told me that Weight Watchers had devlopped a
low-carb version of the diet. Ive had some success in the
past with both low carb diets and Weight Watchers point
systems. Id be very interested if the two were combined.
Is there any truth to this? If so, has anyone here used
the low-carb Weight Watchers diet? Is it good? Not to
complicated?

Here is the link to the info that WW has about Low
Carb diets.

They also have menus that are geared to a higher protein or
a higher carb levels, depending on what satisfies your body.

Here is the link to the higher protein eating.

So there just a different menu plan? WW hasnt come up with
it own version of a low-carb diet?

There is an optional menu to used, but WW advocates a
healthy mix of all foods and you should not restrict
your carbs severely like the Atkins and South Beach
Diets do. After all, those are diets and Weight Watchers
is a way of life.

Just a note -- the links here are apparently available to
paid subscribers only. If you're not doing WW Online or
paying for access as a meetings member, you can't access the
information.

Here it the link directly from the site.

Sorry if the last ones did not work, but their handout "The
Truth About Carbs" is not on the paid site. The link above
is to that site.

i have to agree with what they say. i think we are trying to
teach ourselves how to eat healthily & have a better
lifestyle with weight watchers, rather than going on yet
another diet. (diets have never worked for me!). so i think
that low-carb is not a good choice for anyone. we need to
eat a full balanced diet (like the food pyramid) so that we
get all the right energy and vitamins & minerals. JMHO.

Sorry to piggyback this, but I didn't get Deb's post quoted
above on my newsreader.

I just wanted to thank Deb for the link. I was pretty sure
the OP didn't have paid access to the WW site, so a free
link was important.

=========================
But those diets also claim to be a "way of life" as well.
Why? Because like WW, if you go OFF the plan you gain the
weight right back again. Neither the Atkins or SB diet are
no-carb diets. They're restricted carb diets.
