Today is a good day to give you an idea of an average day for me on SmartPoints. I know some people struggle with it, or feel hungry or restricted and I understand why.
For me - it is the opposite... I almost always have points left and I eat a ton. This is not a brag or to make anyone feel bad, this is just to say we all work the program in different ways.
Since I am not a huge sugar eater (since giving up my Mt Dew), I still have carbs everyday, I eat lots of different proteins and I make sure to get lots of variety.
My first week, I lost 10lbs and this week looks like it will be at least another 4lbs. (UPDATE: I actually lost 8lbs) In 2005, I lost over 90lbs eating this way...it does work!
I think any of the programs can work...but you have to find what works within where you are on the scale of being ready to do this and it being a sustainable lifestyle - otherwise you will give up and the weight will come back. If this is a diet and not a life change - it will fail eventually...
You just have to do what works for you.
