Is Weight Watchers a good option for a vegetarian?
Absolutely, it is a very good option for vegetarians. The Weight Watchers program does not restrict food categories, and if anything, promotes fruit, vegetable, lean protein (vegan options are available) and whole grain intake.
QUESTION 9
Do I have to exercise on Weight Watchers?
You do not HAVE to exercise, but it can be a very important part of the weight-loss journey. Study after study proves that activity promotes weight loss when combined with improved eating habits. More important, it's key for keeping weight off.
The amount of exercise you chose to do, if any, depends on what you're trying to achieve. For example, the amount of exercise required for lasting weight loss and cardiovascular benefits is considerably more than the amount needed for general health benefits like lower blood pressure and stress reduction. But the bottom line is that incorporating exercise into your weight loss strategy will ultimately result in positive effects to your health.
