The New Weight Watchers Program

So, as part of my strategy to get to goal weight I've been looking at different plans. Not surprisingly, my research keeps bringing me back to Weight Watchers. Weight Watchers has always been a great plan, though some incarnations have been rather tedious. Best example of this is the Fat and Fiber plan, which emphasized eating 25 grams of each on a daily basis.Or the one before that, where you rationed out all the different nutritional components. The points program was the best because it was all about portion control. A close second was Core, later known as Simply Filling, which stressed fruits, vegetables, and lean protein.

Now there's Points Plus, which seems pretty interesting. While the Points program was about calories, fat, and fiber, the Points Plus program has substituted the calories component with protein and carbohydrates. They've also made fruits and vegetables "free" foods. That's something I can really get into!
