Re: New WW?
I am doing it. I went to the meeting on Sunday. The basic difference is how to figure out the points. Instead of using fat, fiber and calories it looks at carbohydrates, protein, fat and fiber. You can figure out the points by using the calculator you can buy from ww or in the material or using the point calculator online. The amount of points you have aldo changed. Now the lowest amount of points you get daily is 29. Weekly you get an extra 49 points. I am really liking it so far. I think it was a change I needed. I was getting too comfy with the old program

Re: New WW?
The point values of most foods (especially the carb based ones) have gone up. The new program takes into account that a calorie is of one food is not the same as in another. It takes into account that your body processes different types differently. For example easier to burn a protein then carb. It is trying to get us ww girls to eat more balanced instead of carb overload. I use to have 24 points now have 29

I was going to switch to online and not do the meetings. My pass ends next week, so I think I will go to a meeting today to get the full scoop.

Re: New WW?
i dont even get how fruit is free. i can personally guarantee you will gain weight if you eat a lot of it.
it sounds like they combined the old exchange program with the new points program.
and personally...i know they do it to make money but anyway lol
so you liked it so far?
i'm staying w my old one.

Re: New WW?
My aunt is a WW teacher and she has been cautioning her class about eatting tooo much fruit. I think it all comes down to how your body reacts.
I like the idea that you have to really 'pay' for eatting the junk food and it sends you more to the healthier protein filled foods.
For me the old way worked and it was great. I am trying the new and see what I think. So far I like it but I think I more like it because I have to really follow it and not be sloppy and fool myself.
Donna... they give you the list of foods. If you want the complete food companion or rstaurant book y0uo have to buy a new one!
