Weight Watches
The WW diet, formerly known as Weight Watchers, is a weight management program that has been
around since the early 1960s. It’s designed to help people lose weight in a healthy and sustainable
way. The WW diet focuses on portion control, mindful eating habits and physical activity. At its core,
the WW diet is based on three principles: SmartPoints®, ZeroPoint™ foods and FitPoints®.
SmartPoints are assigned to each food item according to its nutritional content—calories, fat, protein
and carbohydrate count—and serve as an easy guide for making healthier food choices. ZeroPoint
foods are those which have no points assigned to them because they are considered healthy options
such as fruits, vegetables and lean proteins like chicken or fish; these can be consumed without
having to worry about tracking their points value.
Burn Calories
FitPoints measure how much physical activity you do in order to burn calories; this helps keep your metabolism running efficiently while also helping with overall health goals such as building muscle mass or toning up. In addition to
following the main principles of the WW diet (SmartPoints®, ZeroPoint™ foods & FitPoints®), there
are other key components that make it successful at promoting long-term weight loss: 1) Eating
balanced meals.
The focus of the WW diet is on creating balanced meals comprised of lean proteins
(like poultry or fish), complex carbohydrates (such as brown rice or quinoa) and plenty of fresh fruits
& veggies; this ensures that your body receives all essential nutrients for optimal health while still
allowing for some indulgent treats now & then! 2) Making mindful food choices – When selecting
what items you will eat throughout the day it’s important not only take into account their SmartPoint
values but also think about whether it’s something you actually enjoy eating; if not then chances are
you won’t stick with it long-term so try finding alternatives that both taste good AND fit within your
daily allotment! 3) Developing regular exercise habits– Regular physical activity helps support any
new dietary changes made by providing additional calorie burning opportunities plus boosts mood &
energy levels too! Aim for 30 minutes of exercise 4 times per week doing activities like
walking/jogging/biking/swimming etc…even just playing outside with friends counts too! 4) Joining
an online community.
Having access to others who understand what you’re going through can be
extremely helpful when starting out on a new lifestyle change journey so consider joining one of
many virtual communities available today where members share tips & advice along with
recipes/meal ideas etc… And don’t forget about attending local meetings either–they’re great
resources too! Overall the goal behind adopting a WW lifestyle isn’t just about losing weight quickly
but rather developing lifelong healthy habits that will lead towards lasting success over time–it’s all
about taking care of yourself from head-to-toe inside & out! That being said though everyone’s
individual needs may vary so always consult with healthcare professionals prior embarking upon any
major dietary shifts. Below are examples of the meal plan.
