WeightWatcher Adverts

All over the press summer 2009.

Have you seen the WeightWatchers adverts all over the press at the moment? The tag line is "I've discovered all my cravings were in my head, not my tummy."

Followers of The Harcombe Diet will realise that I could not disagree with this more. Two thirds of the UK population (and US) are overweight. I do not believe that two thirds of the population, of these nations, have a psychological problem with food.

I do believe, however, that there are three very common medical conditions, which cause insatiable food cravings: Candida, Food Intolerance and Hypoglycaemia. I also believe that counting calories is one of the most direct routes to getting one, or all, of these three conditions. My expectation, therefore, would be that a WeightWatchers regular is highly likely to develop physical cravings for sugar, wheat and all the things that they try to eat ' in moderation' on calorie restricted diets. Start Counting Calories and end up a food addict. Stop Counting Calories & Start Losing Weight!
