With strategies to conquer hunger and the ability to tailor the plan to fit into one's own life, Momentum provides people with more tools and resources to succeed in adopting a healthier lifestyle.According to a release, Momentum program tackles physical hunger head-on by helping people identify foods that can keep them satisfied for longer; thus helping them stay in control for long-term, sustainable weight loss."Following a food plan that enables you to make healthier choices without feeling deprived is incredibly helpful when losing weight," explained Karen Miller-Kovach, MS, RD, Chief Scientific Officer, Weight Watchers International.

With Momentum, there is no need to delay because it makes the connection between POINTS values and healthy, filling foods for you. Having this understanding is not only helpful with weight loss, but also with keeping the weight off because the eating patterns taught with Momentum lead to an overall healthier lifestyle. Our successful members have told us that they feel different when eating lean proteins and whole grains versus something like fried food or processed foods and they love seeing the impact those foods have on their success."(...)You can read the whole article at: TradingMarkets.com (published: 1/5/2009)
