Weight watchers pro points

R the pro points good, is it better then normal ww's

 

The pro points replaces the old points system on WW. It's been done after evaluating food in a different way.

It's a great guideline for a long term way of life to reduce weight and then maintain in without having to be hungry.

It encourages you to have 3 good meals per day plus a fruit and veg allowance. The old points system made you count fruit and veg as part of your allowance and you could end up hungry each day.

As a long term plan the new pro points looks really good because you should have a re-educated way of thinking towards your food shopping and cooking.

The basics are to reduce your fat intake to extremely low levels and watch the portions of your carbs - ie pasta and bread etc. Protein points are reduced to encourage you to eat a balanced diet and if you use soya or tofu instead of meat in some meals they are lower in pro points. Eating protein means you should burn fat and not lose muscle when your scales show a loss.

To speed up your weight loss you are also encouraged to exercise and burn calories. You have a choice to eat more to compensate, or not - and lose weight.

Good luck.

Have you tried the online service,? that is good, and free with your monthly pass, I have also down loaded the ww app which is great for points and tracking. it is quite easy once you get the hang of it, you need to keep reading the book. Let me know if I can help with anything and keep going it does work

Hi there Ting~Tong.

At your next meeting ask the group leader to sit with your for 5 minutes and explain the pp.

If you can afford it, WW sell weighing scales where you input the type of food on the keyboard and it shows the value of points.

Remember that most fruits and vegetables are 'free'.

After a few days you get the hang of the points and it comes as second nature to evaluate portion sizes and points - which is useful when you dine out. You also tend to remember the points after weighing items a couple of times so you know how to count a slice of bread, an advacado, a spoonful of baked beans etc.

Keep at it!

Well I joined on Friday, so far so good.
