Two Methods of Losing Weight

Two Methods of losing weight

My purpose: compare/contrast two methods

My audience: my class, people who aren’t too familiar with losing weight

My mom did weight watchers and HCG, not close together. She lost weight using both but lost weight fast doing HCG. I can’t remember if she kept the weight off from HCG but I do know she couldn’t eat much at all. Her calories were limited to 500 calories per day. That is like not even lunch to me! I think her attitude about losing weight was heavy and she was determined but she didn’t seem very happy herself. She would eat a tiny piece of boring chicken with no spices for dinner. For breakfast she ate an apple. That isn’t enough food to keep you going for too long. On the HCG diet, they don’t even recommend that you exercise since you are only eating 500 calories per day. With a good exercise you could probably lose 500 calories by doing a vigorous exercise. She gave herself injections daily. The needle was small but they gave her enough to last 30 days. It looked like it hurt, but I think mentally she knew she would lose weight so to her the negative of a painful needle outweighed the thoughts of being fat. Not only could she not eat much, she had a sheet of paper that told her what she could and couldn’t eat. She ate the 3 same things for dinner but rotated them. That sounds boring! She did lose good amounts of weight the first time she did it. She was hardcore into the diet. I think she lost close to 2 lbs every day. She did do HCG twice but they say not to do them back to back just because your body becomes so deprived of important minerals. They also recommend taking a multivitamin. I think I would get headaches if I had so much little food a day.

Thesis Statement

With many diets out there; HCG proves to be the leading most popular diet in the country but is Weight Watchers any different?

Despite bearing some superficial similarities, the differences between Weight Watchers and HCG are clear, distinct and...
