There are alot of recipes that you would be amazed at that Weight Watchers has modified and it still tastes really good. When I joined I didn't think I would be able to eat regular food however, you can and you can eat just about anything with moderation.
I wonder if Weight Watchers would be better for my husband than the South Beach Diet. He loves his bread & pasta, so the first 2 weeks of the SB diet just about kill him, & the rest of us who aren't on the diet but since I don't believe in making 2 different meals, we all end up eating dinner like we are on the SB diet.
The only problem with the WW diet is moderation; he's a good-sized man, he played football in high school & he wasn't the quarterback, he was one of the really big guys, and he still has that appetite. The good thing about the SB diet is he can eat as much veggies & protein as he wants, but the other drawback to that is I'm worried about his cholesterol.
Aah, figuring this out might just drive me crazy.

I don't know much about the South Beach Diet. I like Weight Watchers cause you are able to eat whatever but with moderation. There are two different programs one is the flex were you have so many points. Then there is the core program. This allows you to eat certain foods that don't cost points. You should check it out. Maybe there are items on core that your husband could eat and still eat alot.
