Page 76 - BTC Debunking the diet

Oh, and PS – we lied. The American Dietetic Association also says, and we
quote, “There is no magic bullet to safe and healthful weight loss.” We just

programme.

Eating out

Let’s talk for a moment on how to control your diet when eating out. Weight
Watchers recommends that you “save” points from one of your other days to
consumer on a day when you are eating out, although you are only allowed
to save a certain number of those points.

Eating out can derail a diet quite easily. The best advice we can give you is
to eat sensibly.

Here are some calorie guidelines for food favourites when you are out having
some fun:
