All foods are worth POINTS, based on their calorie,
fat, and fiber content. Instead of weighing and measuring foods,
we simply count up points. The plan provides guidelines for healthy
eating.
“Spend” your points on the foods you love using your
calculator. You choose how you want
to “spend” your allotted points for the day, using food
lists, or the calculator.
“No food is a no-no!” Since every food has a POINTS
value, no food is “off limits.”
Earn extra points with exercise! You are encouraged to reduce sedentary
behavior and progressively increase activity. You can figure your
activity points with another calculator.
Research shows that people who go to Weight
Watchers meetings are much more likely to lose weight than people
who try to lose weight on their own. In fact, each week more than
one million members attend approximately 39,000 Weight Watchers
meetings in 30 countries around the world.
