Weight Watchers Point Guide

When trying to lose weight, it often happens that weight loss exercise alone is simply not enough to help you shed those pounds. Exercise must be correlated with an adequate diet, if you want stable, long term results and not only a “honeymoon effect” from your slimming program.  Weight Watchers is one of the oldest weight loss programs. It has been around since the 1960s, and they managed to develop a faithful membership of people who found their system worked very well for them. The biggest gain of Weight Watchers, in my view, is the creation of this family spirit, thanks to their regular meetings which help a lot to boost the motivation of their members. Having common goals, common problems, common challenges, and having the chance to discuss them and exchange opinions, thoughts, fears, evolution of those extra pounds losing, is very important is sustaining long-term programs. And weight loss is surely a long-term goal, or at least it should be. Think a bit: you’ve gained all those pounds over several years. How would you expect them to disappear in one week? I heard people telling me that they want to lose 10 pounds in 2 days. 10 pounds in two days, that’s completely insane and it makes no sense from health standpoint whatsoever, even if you take nutritional supplements to provide your body the energy required for proper functioning.

What Can I Eat With Weight Watchers?

This is the first question that comes into the mind of future Weight Watchers members. Their answer is that you can eat absolutely everything you like, provided that you respect a number of Weight Watchers points which are allocated for each meal. Certain quantities of specific foods have certain number of points. You can use those points and combine foods as you wish to create delicious, tasty recipes based on the Weight Watchers points guide.

You can find several examples of Weight Watchers Points recipes on their official website. This is one of my favorites, with a preparation time of only 15 minutes and weighing only 6 Weight Watchers points: White Bean-Tuna Pasta Salad

You can get more recipes by joining the discussion board, which is free. Yet, for the whole program, customized for your weight loss needs, you’ll have to become a Weight Watchers member, and that’s not free. However, if you choose the 3-month saving plan you’ll have to pay only $5 per week for the first 12 weeks. If you want to go for the normal plan, then the monthly fee is $46.90 for the first month, and $16.95 for each additional month.

By joining Weight Watchers, you’ll be able to choose from two food plans, and you’ll benefit from specialist advice and tracking on incorporating exercise, becoming aware of your behavior, and building a supportive environment.

The Flex Plan is based on making better food choices by tracking POINTS® values.

The Core Plan® focuses on eating nutritious, satisfying foods without counting or tracking
