Anyone who has a sweet tooth might worry that embarking on a health and weight-loss programme will also entail waving goodbye to desserts and treats. But luckily that s not the case with WW; no food is off-limits and we believe it s totally fine to love desserts! says Julia Westgarth, head of programme at WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers. Our flexible programme myWW+ gives you the control to spend your SmartPoints however you want, whichever plan you choose to follow; so you re free to enjoy a sweet treat from time to time. What s more, research shows that crash diets and programmes that require you to cut out whole food types are counter-productive; they can cause you to feel deprived so it s easy to slip back into old habits, triggering cycles of guilt and yo-yo dieting, says Julia Westgarth.
