Has this season of festivities caused your clothes to be a little tighter than what you would like? Or has the whole year been stress eating? Well, it’s a new year for new beginnings. Some of our readers have seen results through Weight Watchers. This is not a sponsored post. We just want to help our Instant Pot loving chef’s to make healthy living easier and stress-free.

What is the Weight Watchers diet?

Weight Watchers’ is a subscription-based diet program with community-style support for health and wellness. It emphasizes fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, foods high in whole grains and low in saturated and trans fats. They assess each member by age, weight, height, and gender, then determine how much food he or she needs to eat to lose weight at a safe rate by assigning each member a daily point target to spend those points on food. 

The Points system

A person can eat any foods they choose but are allotted a certain number of points each day. The point system is used on a daily basis to monitor the amount and type of food a person eats. Foods are assigned a specific number of points based on the food’s calories, total fat, protein, sugar and dietary fibre content. 

There are also 100+ Zero Point foods such as non-starchy vegetables and fruits, which you don’t need to count towards your daily points. 

What if you aren’t good at keeping track? There is The Core (no-counting) Plan. This is based on eating wholesome foods from all the food groups, including fruits and vegetables, grains and starches, lean meats and poultry, and eggs and dairy products.

Weight Watchers provides a variety of ways to help you stay on track. They have in-person group meetings to support, workshops, an online community, coaches, and their own app. They understand that everyone’s weight-loss needs are different so their program is customized to you.
