Weight Watchers launches new PointsPlus program
November 30th, 2010 - Posted by Tasha
The successor to the original Weight Watchers Points program has come to town. Weight Watchers changed from their classic Points program to the new PointsPlus yesterday, November 29th. The previous Points formula has been around since 1997, and factored calories, fiber grams and fat grams when calculating points. The new PointsPlus formula is based on the latest scientific information on weight loss, and uses protein, carbohydrate, fiber, and fat grams to calculate food points.
There's no need to panic if you're a Weight Watchers member and familiar with old Points program. Weight Watchers has created very comprehensive guidelines and tutorials for their members to ease the transition. Probably the biggest visible change is that all fruits and vegetables now have zero PointsPlus value, so you can eat as many as you want. They have also introduced the concept of "Power Foods". Power Foods are determined by using a proprietary Weight Watchers formula that rates their ability to be filling and their impact on health. In addition, there are updated Good Health guidelines to follow.
All in all, this move seems like a sensible one as it takes into account the latest information on how to lose weight in a healthy manner. If you haven't considered Weight Watchers in the past, now is a great time to take a second look!

Hey, Nice blog you have I really like the information on this site. I'm a average woman with some belly fat and I've lost 4.7 lbs in just 20 days. I recommend The Diet Solution Program to all my friends and it's really effective.
