Weight Watchers emphasizes the fact that they do not consider themselves a "diet". Under their plan you can eat whatever you want you just have to count points. So if you decide to have a piece of cake, then you just have to consider it into your daily points and eat less elsewhere. Instead of cutting out any kinds of food, Weight Watchers provides you with points for everything so that you can eat what you want and learn to control your portions and change your lifestyle instead of depriving yourself the way that other diets force you to.
