Disclaimer: The team of Weight Watchers keeps updating the program, according to the requirements/feedback of their members. The program has been updated many times, the latest one being the Weight Watchers 360° program, which was unveiled on the 3rd of December, 2012. The program teaches members how to manage their food environment, claiming that we tend to eat what we see. It also guides people on ways to control their temptation, and to avoid pleasure eating. Weight Watchers has not increased their rates for this new approach, and all the meetings, eTools, and apps are included in the total fee.

The content in this article explains the Weight Watchers program in detail. The details of the current program are exclusively available to the paid members of Weight Watchers.

Weight watchers is a diet plan in which food items are assigned numerical values or points. Every dieter is allotted specific weight watcher points for a day, depending upon his weight loss goal and lifestyle. The concept is such that a dieter is allowed to eat whatever he wants and in any quantity, as long as he does not exceed his daily point limit. This way, he is encouraged to eat more and more healthy foods, which have least points attached to them. If a dieter gives in to his craving and consumes calorie loaded food, he has to compensate for it by eating low point foods. This results in steady weight loss that is maintained for a longer time. Eventually, dieters cannot help but keep a close watch on their eating habits.

Weight Watchers Zero Point Food List

A weight watchers diet plan makes available a large database of zero point items to its dieters. Dieters can choose items from this list and make their own zero point recipes. Alternatively, some ready to eat / cook weight watcher’s zero point snacks are also distributed to the dieters.

Weight watchers point system is based on the calorie content of the food as well as the portion size. Dieters are provided with all the information regarding the point scaling of the foods and corresponding portion size. Portion size does not apply to zero point vegetables. Hence, dieters can eat as much vegetables as they want. However, zero point fruits come with a recommended portion size due to high content of natural sugars in them. One advantage of this diet plan over other diet plans is that, the point system allows you to experiment with your menu. This is not the case with other diet plans, wherein dieters are forced to choose from a very restricted menu. With the weight watcher’s system, you have an exhaustive list of foods to choose from, depending upon your individual point allotment.

Weight watchers essentially imbibes healthy eating habits in dieters. This eventually becomes a lifestyle for them. Thus, weight loss that you achieve while on this program is of permanent nature.
