5.0 out of 5 stars A VITAL ; referemce-Don't miss it!!!!
I got this cookbook-and complete program guide, when it was pubished, way back in the 90's. Like most dieters, I went on and off. Now I have reached a critical level, and I HAVE to do it right, Keep going, or possibly face major complications.

I am VERY disgusted with the way WW has changed their program over the years. Since it was based on the diabetic...

2.0 out of 5 stars No points system.
I was looking for a Weight Watchers book that explains the points system. This one is older and I guess came out before they started using points. It's basically a guide of what to start eating and a bunch of recipes. If you want to learn the points system, then this isn't the book for you. If you want a lot of recipes, then this book has them.

I got this cookbook-and complete program guide, when it was pubished, way back in the 90's. Like most dieters, I went on and off. Now I have reached a critical level, and I HAVE to do it right, Keep going, or possibly face major complications.

I am VERY disgusted with the way WW has changed their program over the years. Since it was based on the diabetic exchange program, and I am now a diabetic, it still fits with my life style.

This diet is the safetest out there. You follow it, you get results.

I can't say I am following it to the letter, but for somebody who has been into insanity on portions, fat, and sugar content for a very very long time-It's a darn good start, and a form of reference.

After you learn the program, you can then adapt mamy of the things you have been eating to this way of eating. It's very simple to follow and understand. The key is honesty.

Great, dependable food scales are available on amazon, as well on cooks websites, so the glorified postagbe scales we started with in the 70's, are no longer the only way to go to remain
legal.

I wouldn't trade this way of doing food right for anything. And when WW goes back to sanity, then we'll talk about my joining again. As for now, I still have this book, and I am buying a couple of copies. It's my life!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Retro Weight Watches Plan, May 8, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have been looking for the old Weight Watchers plan from the 90's. This book has the plan plus recipes. The points system didn't work for me but this exchange plan type did. I am on it again and it is easier for me than counting points. Some of the recipes need a little tweaking to update, but they still work. Good book for learning to control portions and types of food.
