Is Weight Watchers a good weight loss plan for diabetics or is it too high in carbs?

    The group support concept seems to help some people. MFP and particularly LCHF seems much more effective and based on better science, it's also a lot cheaper. The idea of cheat days and points etc seems to be a less effective method. You may like to have a look at The Low Carb Daily Forum - The LCD Group and see what you think. Have a look at the info sources in the Launch Pad found in the announcement section. The support is non judgmental and genuine.

    I do weight watchers for the community/accountability/educational aspects. But I use MFP for my food log, specifically because I want greater visibility into my carb consumption instead of just overall consumption with the 'points'. I've found my personal tipping point seems to be 100g of carbs a day. If I keep under that my fasting BGL stays in the 90s ...over that and it is up for a day or two ...
