Weight Watchers Punkte
Queila Neubecker
Because the ultimate aim of Weight Watchers is to improve one's overall lifestyle, the new myWW program begins with a 25+ question personal assessment to provide you with an individualized plan, tailored toward your success with their program. These questions will cover things like:
As you can see, their assessment questions are far from random. Each topic has been chosen because science has proven, or at the very least strongly suggests these components of a weight loss plan work in sympathy to achieve a successful outcome.
The result of this questionnaire not only illuminates potential risk areas that could lead to failure, but also allows Weight Watchers to recommend a plan of Green, Blue, Purple, or Freestyle that best fits your personality traits and behavioral tendencies. For more information on these plans and how they relate, you can visit our Zero Point Foods and Allowance Calculator pages, but the condensed version is as follows:
At first glance, this might seem like a small, painstakingly slow margin of weight loss, but when you realize you must consume 1000 fewer calories a day for a week to lose 2 pounds, it's a huge challenge and something to be proud of if accomplished! After all, it is the CDC recommended rate for healthy and sustained weight loss and Weight Watchers itself is the #1 doctor recommended weight loss program, based on an IQVIA survey of 14,000 doctors!
In short, the Weight Watchers Points, also referred to as the WW Smart Point system, assigns every food and drink a number value based on the calories, saturated fat, sugar and protein it contains. For example, a slice of regular cheese pizza will cost 7 smart points. The smart point itself is designed to simplify the complexities of nutrition science into a more user-friendly format. For more information on how to calculate weight watchers points, you can visit our smart point calculator page.
It's important to understand that the numeric value of a smart point doesn't necessarily mean much by itself. It must be measured in conjunction with a daily and weekly smart point allowance, a personal maximum threshold of smart points allowed per day combined with a static weekly amount to maintain the goal of losing about 2 pounds a week. Thus, the SmartPoint remains the fundamental unit of currency used to accurately monitor daily consumption habits within your WW health program!
Hi there so you can use herbal life with weight Watchers how do you know the points for it. i am on the new weight watchers i wan maxium results and be able to loose 58 pound by end of june will this help me. . please let me know
I use the meal replacement shakes as part of my points tracking. You would count the points the same way you do any other food. I like the shakes because it gives you proteins and vitamins that make up 25% of your daily needs. I add yogurt or fresh fruit to mine. i also take the vitamins and the herbal tea gives you energy. If your interested in any of the products email me and I can get you some info. If you replace 2 meals with just the meal replacement shakes you will lose weight. We also have a product that acts as a carb interceptor and one that makes you feel less hungry. Let me know if I can help.
Hi Robin. I use my weight watchers points calculator to do the points. The shake I do in the morning which is the french vanilla with skim milk is 3 points. If you add in fresh fruit there should be no added points since most fruits are free on the new points system. If you add in anything else like honey or yogurt you would need to calculate the ponts for those items and add them to the shake points to get the total points. Hope this helped. If you need any herbalife let me know.
Of course you can contact me. I am still new to Herbalife and have not really progressed as far as I would like to. Here on the east coast it is difficult to get things started. Good luck with you business and try to incorporate it into weight watchers. Everything we eat has a point value attatched to it so it is easy to figure out your points for the day. Take Care
First let me apolozige for not responding to you. With the new points system the shake mix is 2 points for two scoops of powder. You would point it out exactly the same way you would any other food with the weight watchers counter. Fruits are free so is you add fruit to your shake it is zero points. I use soy milk which is 1 point for 8 ounces so my total shake is 3 points. With the protein powder you just need to add that point value in to get your total points for that shake. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else. Kim
thanks for your comment. My clients are doing great using both products. Calculating point values with Herbalife products is the same as pointing out food choices. The shakes for example you would point out using the points plus calculator and if you use milk, soy milk etc you would add those point values to the shake points. When I do my shake I use light soymilk so my total shake in the morning is 4 points. If I add fruit the fruit is free so no added points but added fiber which is essential to weight loss. Hope this helps. Where are you a distrubutor at?
I hope you are doing well with your shakes. I apologize that I am just now responding to you . I think you need to add a mid morning snack and an afternoon snack to your plan. If you are that hungry at night 21 points is a lot of food to have in one sitting. Maybe you could have your large meal at lunch and then a shake for dinner. There is no set plan on when to have the shakes. Also I would add yogurt, cheese stick or sometype of 1 to 2 point snack to the plan. This will help keep you from being so hungry when you get home from work. You may also want to add some of the supplements from herbalife to your plan. Talk to your coach about tweaking your plan. Hope this helps.
Yes Claire we still do Herbalife. We are presently in over 80 countries and the number 1 nutritional supplement in the world. If you would like to try the products email me and let me know how we can get you started either on products or in the business. Thanks for asking.
I'm on week one and so far so good, I'm staying within my points and feeling better already, never hungry as I enjoy snacking on fruit and veg. But, I do like to save a couple of points for a sweet treat, can anyone share their low point treats? I wanted a 2 finger kit Kat last night but at 5 points couldn't have it. There must be things that have less points than that out there! Thanks in advance
Hi, I've just bought a pack of Morrisons meringues, they're not massive but they're a fair sized dessert, they're 3sp and then I've been adding a spoonful of low fat plain natural yogurt for 1sp and then loads of strawberries. It's nice and feels very indulgent!
Alternatively have you tried the boots shapers range, they have some nice sweet nougat bars for about 4 points. Or the skinny cow ice creams, I don't know how many sp they are because I used to get them on pro points, but they were pretty low pro points so should be ok sp and they're a good size too.
I'm my experience you will struggle to find something for less than about 4-5 points.
I think marshmallows are comparatively low if you just need a sweet pick me up!
Hi, thank you, the meringue dessert sounds really delicious, il get some of those! Not a fan of marshmallow. It's my beloved chocolate that I am missing, but I know that I really need to wean myself off it anyway, and cold turkey might be the best way.
I lost 3 1/2 stone a few years ago on ww (I went off plan for a day and 2 years later I've put it all back on!) so am starting again, but I never stopped having chocolate!
My life would be pretty miserable if I didn't have my choc fix to look forward to after putting DC to bed!
You really need to be saving about 4-6 points for something worth while though. I find half a bueno really hits the spot, they're 6sp for 1/2. And little kinder bars are 4 points I think
Other than that have you tired buying some individually wrapped chocolates and portioning them up for the day? Or buying little treat sized bags of things. Also I've seen them biscuit thins recently, Oreo and digestives do them, I assume they're lower points than the normal ones.
There's a choc dessert sauce called hot shots that's really low points, I tried it and didn't like it but some people love it so might be worth a try!
I usually track whatever treat I'm having that night first thing in the morning so I know how many points I have to play with that day!
Ww themselves do some quite low point choc treats on their website.
Portioning up treats is a great idea! I bought some cadburys highlights thinking a mug of that would sort me out but it is vile! I think dark chocolate is better for you? Might look into that too. I'm the same, was on WW 5 years ago and lost the 2 stone I needed toeasily, then slipped off and have now put on 3 and a half stone. I'm determined this time, sick of feeling crap in my clothes. I think it would be easier if I'm allowed a treat though. I want to save my extra weeklies and fitpoints for wine at the weekend.
You don't get much chocolate for the points do you? I use meringue nests as well to make an Eton Mess which helps if I want something sweet.
Green & Black's mini bars are 4 points each and quite intense and chocolatey so even though they're small they're quite satisfying. A lot of points but I got a multipack of Cadbury Picnics (38g bar) that are 8 smart points. It feels like a proper bar of chocolate rather than a snack.
I like Time Out wafers, 5 smart points so the same as a Kit Kat, but a good size.
Alpro chocolate and hazelnut dessert are 4, I add some low fat whipped cream as well. Muller do a chocolate and caramel dessert for 3 points.
For plain biscuits I like Rich Tea lights for one point (I think Rich Tea fingers are the same points) or Digestive lights for 2 points. Jaffa cakes are two, I had a two pack of chocolate Oreos last night for 4 points which were nice. Just check if you're having more than one though as the points value can go up.
The weight watchers Rocky Road bars (2) and caramel wafers (3) are nice. I want to try the chocolate biscuit bars but can't find them anywhere.
