Do I really need to eat all my points?
In a word - YES!!
The good people at Weight Watchers did not just randomly decide to develop a points range from 26 to 71. They did it based on science. They use a scientific formula to develop a plan that is right for you - which includes eating all the points allotted to you.
I know it may seem counter-intuitive to eat more to lose weight, but it really does work. Think about your car for a minute. You wouldn't go and put 5 gallons of gas in and expect to get the same mileage that you get when you put 10 gallons in - right? Our bodies are the same. They need fuel to be able to burn what we are putting in. If you are constantly shorting your body of what it needs it isn't going to ever know when it will get those nutrients again. It will start holding on to things that you do put in your body and then you'll stall out at the scale.
There is no point in being hungry on Weight Watchers, or in any "diet" really. If you're constantly starving, how long do you realistically think you're going to stick with it......probably not long. The points (both daily and weekly) are there to help you stay satisfied and to help in increasing your success - use that!
Do you consistently meet your daily points target? If not - why the heck not and please if you don't eat them can I have them?? ;-)
