Use
this Weight Watchers
points calculator to calculate the number of
points in something you are eating using the old system or the new
points plus system. I prefer to refer to dieting as
weight management, because I believe there is way too much emphasis on
weight loss and thinness in the media. Whether you are out to lose
weight, gain weight or maintain, it is important to eat healthily and
maintain a healthy self esteem. Weight Watchers is known for their
successful points program as an aid to weight management. By making
good food choices and learning portion control, using the Weight
Watchers system, you can lose weight or maintain your weight without
sacrificing your health or the foods you love.

The
WW points calculator uses a system of counting points and is
probably one of the easiest to
learn and use for the long term. By counting points and monitoring your
food intake you become accountable to yourself. Points are assigned to
different foods based on their caloric value, fat and fibre content.
Foods higher in fibre are lower in points to encourage you to eat high
fibre foods. Foods high in fat are also higher in points, so ultimately
one is encouraged to eat high fibre, low fat foods. The number of
points you are allocated per day will depend on your starting weight,
height, and goals. You should consult a Weight Watchers professional to
determine that number.
The
traditional
North American diet is high in animal based products, meat, dairy,
fried foods, etc. North Americans like their conveniences so have
filled their diets with processed foods, low fibre breads, hydrogenated
fats, etc. This type of diet contributes to heart disease, diabetes,
cancer, and osteoporosis. Even if you're not trying to lose weight, a
shift in food choices, as encouraged by Weight Watchers, will add more
vegetable, fruits, and fibre to one's diet and therefore improve well
being. This Weight Watcher's points counter and WW points
plus
counter can assist you in
choosing the right foods.
There
is no
magic bullet to weight loss, and eating healthily can be more work than
you're used to, but the WW point system can be an easy and
useful tool to examine and modify your eating habits. The Weight
Watchers points calculator below should assist in this. Just look at
the packaging of the food you are eating, punch in the number of
calories, grams of fat, grams of fibre and click "calculate" and the
WW points calculator will spit out the number of points in
the food you are eating. Whether you are trying to gain
weight, lose weight, or maintain and improve your eating habits, good
luck in your weight management journey
