As we set realistic goals for wellness last week, this week we want you to take a step toward getting control of your eating habits. Weight Watchers has become a widely popular method that is loved by many. It’s focus on moderation and easy way to count your food intake makes it a favored option by many.

Figure you point allowance:For the sake of consistency, we are going to recommend that you use the more updated Points Plus system as that is what our current Weight Watchers recipes points reflect, as well as future recipes and information here. Points Plus is slightly different because it counts fruits and vegetables in their raw form as zero points.

Calculate points in your food. Now that you know how many points you need to use each day, it’s time to figure out what points are in your food. There are a few ways to do this.

Make healthy food choices. One of the great things about Weight Watchers is the fact that there are no food restrictions. You are not told you can’t have something; you are simply told to account for it in your points each day. The problem is, fueling your body with unhealthy options isn’t going to give you the result you want. Yes, you may lose some weight, but your body will still feel sluggish and either hungry or bloated and uncomfortable.

Using all 26 points on burgers and fries every day isn’t really changing your wellness mentality. You really must work to change the way you look at food and work to feed yourself better options more often than bad. Include some of your favorites on occasion but focus on healthier things the bulk of the time. Knowing how to do Weight Watchers for free will save you the expense of monthly meetings that you can turn over and pay for better healthier food options with instead.

Seek accountability. Whether you join a free online group like Spark People, Facebook groups or Google+ Circles, or you join with some local friends to hold you accountable this is a key step. You don’t have to pay a monthly fee to find accountability with friends, family or even strangers online. Being accountable for your weekly success can help you stay on track and make this not just a beginning, but a lifelong change for good.

As you continue this year long journey to physical, mental and financial health, focusing on your health is going to be one of the big goals you have. Without good health, you cannot begin to have good financial or mental health. This week as you learn how to do Weight Watchers for free, we hope you are able to refocus and step forward with goals in mind that you feel you can succeed with.

If you are a Weight Watcher® you have probably heard that Weight Watchers® is retiring their PointsPlus® program in 2016 and introducing a brand new SmartPoints® system and plan, called Beyond the Scale.

Since I'm a Lifetime Weight Watcher® and include points with my recipes and meal plans and realize that many of you also follow Weight Watchers®, I wanted to highlight some of the major changes to the new SmartPoints® plan and also share about how it will affect things here at Simple Nourished Living.

Weightwatchers Diet Review 2023: Does It Actually Work?

Weight Watchers® is more than 50 years old and consistently shows up on top of US News & World Report's list of Best Diets for Weight Loss for good reason!

Each and every WW program works, from the very first one introduced in the 1960s by founder, Jean Nidetch, to the most current one, as they continue to adopt the latest in the world of nutrition and weight loss science.

You may recall a while back I wrote about why I thought the Old WW Quick Success Plan, on which I originally achieved WW Lifetime Status, was better for teaching its members how to eat healthy.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by the folks at Weight Watchers® and asked if I would like to take a sneak peek at new program and provide feedback on a private Facebook page, along with about 30 others 🙂

I was able to test out both the beta version and release version of the new APP and SmartPoints® calculator ahead of time.

I am grateful for the opportunity to familiarize myself with the new program ahead of time so I can be a helpful resource as you begin, or shift to SmartPoints®.

One big change is that zero point fruit and vegetables are no longer no longer included in the calculation of SmartPoints Values, unless you puree or liquify them and turn them into a beverage such as a smoothie.

This means that if you use a recipe’s nutrition information to calculate the SmartPoints instead of Weight Watchers recipe builder you might end up with a value higher than expected because the nutrition information for recipes will include ALL ingredients.

Moving forward all NEW recipes here on Simple Nourished Living will include the SmartPoints value as well as the nutritional values required for calculating them (calories, saturated fat, sugars and protein).

But keep in mind, the fruits and veggies will still be factored into the total calories, fat, etc.; they just won't be included in the SmartPoints value.

4/16 Update: Now more than four months since it's launch, the feedback is mixed, especially with folks who were happy with PointsPlus.

1. What's one thing you were concerned about with moving to a new program that turned out NOT to be an issue?

Weight Watchers Zero Points Foods With Printable Reference List

How it would affect my habits and routines. I'm a creature of habit and can be resistant to change, which also means I can get stuck in a rut 🙂 It turns out that the changes have had little impact on how I eat day to day.

The biggest challenge I face is with getting all the recipes on my blog updated to include the new required nutritional values of saturated fat and sugars! For those who are used to consuming sweet treats daily, some rethinking/re-prioritizing will be required.

Protein. I love lean protein and am excited to see it go down. I see myself indulging in more shrimp cocktails and fewer cookies this holiday season!

4. What's one food you're bummed went up in SP value? Do you have a plan for how to make it work going forward?

Sweet treats went way up so I'm going to have to me more judicious. One strategy that has worked for me is to be really selective and seek out the highest quality treats possible. I've found that for me the higher the quality, the less I need to be satisfied. This is especially true with good dark chocolate.

5. What's one piece of advice you would give others starting the conversion to SmartPoints®, now that you've had nearly two weeks with the program?

Don't panic. Give yourself time to adjust and evaluate the plan on it's own merits. It may be just what you needed to shake things up and get yourself out of a rut. I've found I'm having fun in the kitchen, experimenting with new foods and recipes that I might not have tried otherwise,  including a surprisingly satisfying tofu scramble.

Black coffee is a nice eye-opening change to lattes some days of the week. I've also gone back to making my lattes at home with unsweetened soy milk to keep the SmartPoints value @ 2

Many of the old foods I used to love and eat regularly don't nourish me at 52. To feel my best and age gracefully, healthfully, vibrantly, I need to change what I eat and how I take care of myself.
