Hi Kelly,
I actually didn't combine the point system with the low-carbing...I
guess I haven't officially been low-carbing, although I do try to limit
the bread/pasta to either one meal a day/a few days a week....but this
is not only because the carbs don't let me lose weight, but on the point
system, they cost a lot of your daily point allotment and aren't
necessarily worth it!
I would still highly recommend the Weight Watchers...I have tried every
other possible diet out there and this is the only one that works for me
as a "lifestyle change"...and now that I know that I have PCOS, it is
for life for me.
I hope that helps. If you do decide to join, email me and I can be some
support!
