What’s Dieters

I was microwaving an entire can of green beans (60 cal) and thinking… on weight watchers this would be zero points I wonder if greg has a video bitching about that

What do u reakon about YouTuber John Rose? Old man, ripped to shreds, suntanned to near genetic potential, shoulder to waistline ratio of a he-man toy….

WW as a total program does work for a lot of reasons not mentioned here. I do wish they combined the points with calories. You have to use two apps to do it. I always looked at the “free foods” as healthier unprocessed options, not free for all binge on eggs and brown rice.

OMG!! I love this video!! I’m coming from the keto world and WW is all new to me. I was having such a hard time thinking about not having avocado or using a a small amount of coconut oil to cook with ect.. I love those things and believe they are so good. I’d rather have some avocado to snack on then one of the other “lower point” snacks you see, a lot of it is processed stuff. I want to live off Whole Foods!! Not low calories processed crap! Love the video! Gonna be a new subbie! I’m new to all this and trying to figure out how to do it without signing up �� due to limited funds. Suggestions would be wonderful! Thank you!

Congratulations on your weight loss. We wish you the best of luck on your maintenance journey. If you are an iPhone user check out our free body measurement tracking app on the App Store 😉

I accidentally bought a weight watchers meal because of the name change. It was disgusting.

This was so so helpful for me. I rejoined weight watchers 3 months ago and have completely failed to stay within my points everyday. It’s hard transitioning back because there’s so much temptation everywhere, especially at work where people bring in all kinds of unhealthy goodies. I recently quit being vegan so I gained about 10 lbs after going off the rails and eating foods I hadn’t eaten in 4 years like donuts and cheese and very high calorie bad foods. Now, going into the holiday season, I’m really nervous I’ll never get back on track. Could you make a tips and tricks video for the holiday season? Would love to hear your thoughts

Thank You!! very helpful and well explained, defiantly going to give it a go!

Thanks for that… I just started WW and I get 55 daily points but only uses around 20… This mean I need to eat more.. I try to eat mostly 0 points foods.

so silly go vegan eat an abundance just of the right kind of calories i’ve lost almost 50 pounds also exercise:)

“Oprah says this diet is great!” Lol…
Oprah has been struggling to lose weight for the past 50 years… and if she managed to drop some weight she’d pile it on again AND some within a year. It’s baffling to me why anyone would join WW to look like Oprah or because they find her advocacy credible… ��

What about fruits? Did you limit fruits, cut them out completely, or count them as points? I am at a stand still.

Could you please make a video about alcohol calories, how they absorb etc, Regarding an advanced training person.

I love your videos I’m 81 years old and I fit off the weight plus I always that’s the only one I know how to do it at the time I got 26 points I weigh 150 pounds so do I stay our points plus I don’t know anything about any other way thank you

So, I could just eat off of the zero point list all day and then binge on pizza and donuts at night! Woo Hoo!

I have a friend, she wanted to become a nurse. She needed to pass the basic maths to apply.

I’m an engineer so I’m descent with math, I’ve tudored a lot of people to great results. But this girl was impossible, not just with math but just unbelievable ignorant overall.

She became a dietitian.

I be been doing this,first week lost 3 then gain it all back.

Would love to hear coach Greg yell about Abby sharp. Would 100% make my week!!

I love and miss my meetings. We always had a great turnout, liked weighing in and being held accountable. Was only in it 3 mons when covid shut us down. Miss my new friends.

What do I do to track the old way? I really feel like the freestyle is too lenient.

If we are forced to do our online app under WW than they should give a discount by not going into the workshop. Part of our monthly fee was used to pay the coach. I want to keep the the WW app but not for the amount I’m paying now.

First time watching your videos and I’m hooked! I have a couple of cheats as well. I don’t count skim milk because my mother has osteoporosis and I feel the natural calcium is best for me. Also don’t really count olive oil or hit the blend button in my smoothies to track blended fruit.

I prefer to use only my daily points. Not fit, not the. Extra ones.

thanks where does one get your daily point according to your weight

Great info.. I tried WW meeting and got nothing… I have been doing low carb paleo(mostly), and loosing lbs. thank you for info.

I love what you said about the weeklies and am going to strive for that too. I’m a recovering yo-yo keto-er and secretly afraid that I can’t lose weight while eating bread and fruit, but I really want to try.

A “furlough” is NOT a firing!
The company still keeps your benefits intact AND your position stays intact for when you return. You DON’T need to reapply for your job. First hand experience here, with hubby’s job.

well shit if you are hard core as you were you better lose weight damn! Good job.

Glad you shared this!! I havent heard much about rumors yet, but I am sure I will get asked, so I will be sure to send people to this video! And thanks for including me in your list!! ❤❤

Whats your lowest body fat percentage you’ve ever had?
And as a man. Whats the optimal percentage. Im at 7 Right now. Still trying to lean cut of course. I’m just curious. What’s the optimal body fat percentage?

Ellen is telling poor ass people how a rich woman got even more rich! And she made them clap for her.. #insensitive

can someone help me please, I ordered my WW freestyle program from a lady on Ebay, she sent me the shop dine book, the welcome to WW book, a bag, a calculator and a piece of paper saying on Freestyle all women get 24 daily pts and 40 weekly? Is this true? I keep seeing it is based on weight, height, etc? I am super confused. I would appreciate if someone might answer this for me. thanks.

And you pay them how much muscle not fat you wanna lose ������

Great video, and very helpful! I have a question about smoothies. I know that we are allowed 5 1-Cup servings of fruit per day. But, I’ve been told that they are only 0 smart points if you eat them whole. If you blend them in a smoothie, they deduct points. How are they tracked?? I love making homemade smoothies, but how do I track fruit that has been blended to have the correct points deducted?

Oprah, get a LAP BAND and be DONE WITH IT ALREADY! Weight watchers is NOT working for you. You got BIGGER! on weight watchers. Just saw you at the ROYAL WEDDING, you’re BIG and WIDE. GET A LAP BAND and GO AWAY.

Oh those fit points are so confusing, I’m long distance runner. Hmm 144 points per this week… perhaps will get more as it’s not the end of week

If I want to have Saturday as my free day to use Weeklies, when should my weigh in day be?

Which weightwatchers magazine is Oprah in? I live in Channel Islands.

hann

Well,

1) snake juice sounds slang for ejaculation
2) different stuff works for different people
3) most douche of a guy I have ever seen
4) most likely his name is Kyle
5) wants a sugar free energy drink line
6) still uses hair gel?!? Wtf?
7) most likely wrestled in HS.
8) yells at people to close the door

I think what really drives me crazy is the disconnect between calories and smartpoints. Yesterday I ate 65 smartpointsthis was not a binge I’m breastfeeding and I exercise daily. When I put in my food into myfitnesspal, it was a very reasonable amount of calories with a 500+ deficit. But according to WW, I’d really gone over. I had chosen things that were apparently very pointy. I’m having trouble making WW work for me

Who on earth came up with this bullshit?! I swear society is getting more and more brain dead. Trying to over complicate very simple concepts.

Calories, Fat, and Fiber were for the original Points (Momentum/123 Success) before PointsPlus.

I don’t love Oprah, I’d also go as far as to say that I don’t give a rat’s ass about her

Just discovered your channel…..love your 5 tips!! My wife and I have not been losing like we should (she’s done better though!) so I’m implementing your tips right away. We’ll be on the beach in the Bahamas in mid-February so it is full-steam ahead!

I could count points, too, 30 a day—provided that every once in a while I could have a doubleor triple-point day—maybe every few months have a 300-point day, just to remind myself what that feels like.

I just want to say that this is inaccurate. I tried out WW this week, and they assigned me 23 points PER day; and 42 extra per week. People should know they will be assigned less than 30 now

Thank you! I have been wanting to join weight watchers for a while, but it wasn’t very clear to me how it worked. So because it’s quite pricey for a student, I never dared try. But you’ve convinced me! very clear video:)

I swear, he looks like Donny Wohlberg from “Blue Bloods,” on CBS, Friday nights. He could star as Donny’s weird twin. We all have doubles out there.

OMG Oprah is so so funny!! I bet she would be a fun girlfriend to out dinner and drink with!!

Need help? Weightwatchers now has home food delivery. It is so awesome. Maybe, you are too busy to set up your meals. WW will do for you. And, it is delicious. It is delivered right to your home. No thinking about it. Why not? Go for it.

It was great but I also wanted to learn how to calculate my food points value.

Great video. I too am on lifetime. Could you link the channel pointless avocado. I would like to take a look. Thank you.

Barrett, do you have any suggestions for franchised WW’s? We seem to be under different guidelines, different wellness points… Thanks..

Is Slimming World a thing in Canada/USA? If so would you do a vid on them? Though I think it’s similar to WW

i have the calculator, is there a way to just detract the point w/o constantly refiguring each item?

My body runs on quantum mechanics and thus the law of thermodynamics does not apply to me. I am both ripped and a fat ass

Hi! I am late to the party since I just found you! Love the advice and your hacks are not weird at all. I agree about the healthy fats and feel that their point values should be lower. I might start eating avocados again… thanks to you.
Everyone needs to find their trigger foods and not judge others just because they can stop at 1 snickers while I eat 5.�� For me it is chips. I can mindlessly eat a whole bag in one sitting.

To add to the banking analogy:

The switch between PointsPlus, SmartPoints, the Original Points plan, etc is like switching between Euros, USD, and CAD.

Doc you kinda missed the entire point of WW. 1) They encourage tracking food. 2) mindful eating/ portion size 3) portion control. They clearly state dont eat unlimited zero point food. They want folks to learn what are less calorie dense, lower sugar lower fat food choices. Kinda like what you preach. Tracking calories means you could eat 10 donuts a day and be fine (in your world) while in WW you have to eat a more diverse well rounded (or at least are incentivised to do so).

Such a disappointment. It’s still a diet. This is the exact same rhetoric we heard when she was working out with Bob Greene and had a personal chef. “He gave me the tools. I just had to make the commitment.” Ugh.

Wonderful advice. I agree it depends on who you get at the workshops!

Is there an accurate list of smart point foods that are 0 points? I’ve been watching prep videos and items like eggs are 0 points in the prep video but 2 points when I try to add an egg to a recipes.

This is really helpful! I have been looking to try Weight Watchers and I may do it after this. I’m currently using the Lose It app, which nice but I want to try something different.

Hi! Your video is great and super helpful.:) I still have a question though about your daily smart point target that is shown in the calendar section on the app. Will you not lose weight if you go over the range of 27-37? What is you were using fit points? Thanks!!!

I wish you lived closer and could join my meetings… I think you would have fun!!

Thank you Mate for inspiring rest of the world. I wish you the very best. Yes it will work. I lost 26kg cure my Depression, Anxiety, psoriasis, high blood sugar, thyroid all in 6 moths just doing what you do now. Best Regards #CHEFASHI AUSTRALIA.

These pricks and Jenny Craig should be fucking investigated. Like the pink nails though. The Oprah line is hilarious.

I just started WW three weeks ago and have only lost 3 pounds. I do a bootcamp 4 days a week at high intensity and don’t dip into my weekly or my activity points. Was your journey a slow start?

The best part of the meetings for me is the time BEFORE and AFTER the meeting that I spend with friends that I met at the meetings.

omg i just peed my pants. dude your fumny as shit. thanks for making me laugh

If u only do online I thought you could not reach lifetime? Or would you just join differently when you have 10 pounds left?

I totally agree about the healthy fats. WW shows them as more points than other oils, but those other oils are not healthy. So I do feel that they should consider that olive oil is healthier than canola oil and real butter is healthier than margarine. Not that you can eat all you want, but your eating real foods and not all this processed junk.

I loved my meetings…It only took about 30 years, 5/6 times starting over, and prayers to get to Lifetime….Now I have gone free for 3 years…I really hope my meeting does not leave….I have no interest in Zoom or online…

New to your channel. I am not a fan of meetings either. I would leave more frustrated than anything else. Digital works for me although I am struggling. Jen

Weight Watchers is just as bad as Juice plus, Not sure whether you guys have that over there. They are part of the MLM Network marketing shit, if you listen to most of them, they clearly know nothing about what they are attempting to promote. They are called the Health Network and like to refer to themselves as “health Coaches” seriously most of them are still telling everyone that Carbs are the enemy

I did WW back when they only had fruit and veggies as 0 point foods. It worked for me, but I definitely counted chicken and yogurt as foods with points. I eventually just started tracking calories because I didn’t like their algorithm of assigning more points to foods that weren’t “healthy”.

small change on this diet can be that 0 point foods are only 0 points if you don’t have any points for the day yet or you are below 20% or some shit. This way you will get filled with better foods and have less space for junk

Why is it such an issue that Oprah is the new face of WW? I would think a yo-yo dieter would be a good spokes person as some of the other entertainers before her were. Most people are yo-yo dieters. Most people have tried numerous diets in their lifetime and ended up regaining the weight back and then some. Some have had surgery and gained the weight back afterwards. It isn’t always easy, most overweight people are dealing with other things than “just” the weight. Everyone has a different story, even Oprah. I know when I tried WW, it was working very well for me, but I couldn’t keep up with the cost, and more importantly, I wasn’t ready for the responsibility of keeping it off. WW has been around for years, like other programs, you have to follow it, you have to exercise, you have to drink plenty of water, you have to eat less, you have to cut back on sugar and processed foods, you have to be willing to make these changes and you have to make it a daily choice for the rest of your life.

I agree with everything you say. I’m new to WW and the social app Connect frustrates me to death. People are eating lots of 0 points to save up points to eat M&Ms, ice cream cones and chips. In addition, they then allow themselves to “splurge” on their weekly points. I love how you got to know yourself and what your triggers are—then just deleted them out of your diet completely. I mean, if people are addicted to chips, limiting themselves to 8 chips, for instance, in order to stay inside the daily points, is a recipe for disaster—and Connect is full of people that lost control of the number! You are very smart and very pretty. A good role model. I think I’m going to stay off of Connect and look for more videos like yours. To me, Connect is a weird place where many (not all) people seem to support each other’s eating disorders.

How to lose weight
Step1
Watch Greg Doucette
Greg: you idiot stop eating
Greg: Oprah has seven chefs that cook for seven chefs that cook for Oprah.

Thanks, Barrett. I am blessed to have found you and another gal at the start of my WW journey. It is $20 a month for me to be digital. It is $60 a month for me to attend a workshop in Alaska. It is important to me to learn HOW to maintain as I’ve lost on numerous plans, numerous times. I’m 56 now. It’s harder to lose. I want to lose and MAINTAIN sustainable changes is what I’ve been focusing on. I assumed to LEARN HOW to maintain I would need to switch to workshop so I could get lifetime in the “near future” or keep paying $20 a month for the rest of my life. These changes, right as I’m ready to bite the bullet and join a workshop floored me for a bit.

I am NOT going to drive to Anchorage for a meeting which is what I’m being told I’d need to do….55 miles in the winter. Nope. I got a feeling in the pit of my stomach that THIS was going to be like ALL the other times. THEN I realized YOU say your list is for all of us not just WW. I CAN find aps for much cheaper that will track points or bites. I watched how you are playing with points and such to maintain and I TOOK NOTES (would love more on how you are maintaining btw)….and then one of the gals I followed on connect has gone to You Tube honestly she was the only thing I’d really miss from connect…I can do this. I can even find virtual small group for cheaper than $60 a month. I’m sure of it. LOL

Thanks for all you do sorry for the novel. Processing at the keyboard. I appreciate you.

It’s not a scam. I lose a lot of weight without being on a diet plan, and what I eat and drink is far closer to Weighwatchers diet than any other diet.

Your diet doesn’t need to be permanently strict and boring to be good.

Jus staring at oprah i think to myself… look at all that money

I basically did the same thing and had the same way of thinking. It also worked great for me. I lost 35 lbs in 6 mos. And was so proud of myself. Had so much more energy and have still kept it off. It’s been a year and a half now. Loved WWs Freestyle! It really helped me get back in shape and feel good.

Congrats on losing and maintaining your weight! I appreciate these tips. I agree that healthy fats are vital to our health! I’m proud of you for eliminating the 3 C’s from your diet. I need to do the same! God bless you! -Lisa

Do you love trying out new healthy recipes? Follow me I post new recipes every day @iamangelrojas

I wouldnt support weight watchers as long as she is apart of it. Anything she supports I DONT.

I really like this introduction. I’m informing myself at the moment so I can start next week with weight watchers. I think you made a small mistake in your ppt at 13:12 you say ‘weekly points= your saving account’ But you have written down ‘weekly points= checking account’ 　^^

Something I’m also wondering if you start weight watchers. Do you have some tip or trick how to calculate smartpoint when you eat out. How do you decide for example how much pasta or meat do they serve?

Nice video.

Oprah has the power to fucking sway the stock exchange…and HAS had that power for YEARS. wow.

Two highly favored rich women. Oprah was like “yeah, I brought 10% of the company”

I think for WW to work, people have to have common sense. Which most people don’t have so that’s why it doesn’t always work for people

Great info, thank you. I’m trying to learn as much about weight watchers as I can before I make a final decision on if it’s right for me.

Wow. Really disappointing to find out Oprah has sold out to a weight loss company. The only mitigating factor here though is that she has a solid history of being responsible with her money and of giving back to causes she is passionate about. So at least we can be fairly certain that some of this money from these investments will make it to more worthy causes.

U need a hug! U so angry. What’s the deal with pink nails? No offense! My fave color.

I totally agree with number 4.. I did the WW smart points.. I tracked everything but not condiments, or oil or butter etc. I would always use higher points when I couldn’t find an exact match for my food. It didn’t slow my weight loss.
#5 AGREE stay away from triggers. Congrats on 40lb!

who the fuck would give it a thumbs down?? They are the two most amazing people.

That was awesome. I gave up on personal training because nobody would listen to me, cuz of these stupid diets!

Hey Happy New Year, will this help for men I was told it would. I need to really loose weight. I’m tired of being fat.

I like OPRAH but she seems so disconnected from the real world

I love your take on the healthy fats! I used to do keto and I keep some of the principles in mind while trying out ww. I do also appreciate that ww is not as scared of fats as it used to be. This is my favorite version of ww that I’ve tried so far and I’m hoping to see positive results in the near future ❤️

I LOVE BREAD Glozell ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������

This is new to me! Just seeing if I should join Weight Watchers.

Love your video. I don’t understand why I get 28 daily and 42 weekly points, does’nt add up. Thanks for your help.

Granola is high in sugar and so is most yogurt. If the point system were actually even attempting to be shit, sugar content should be monitored too

Very helpful! I’m using smartpoints on itrackbites, and your videos are great for that!

New subscriber!! Thank you for your video. I’ve lost 13 pounds in one month but I’m trying to get as many tips as possible because I feel the weekends are harder to stay focused… hope to hear more ideas on how to keep losing weight

I actually swap fit points first and I like it better personally! I usually don’t use all and always have my extra 35 leftover i prefer to eat what I burn. It has worked so far for me! Also The daily actually do rollover and go in your weekly. But only up to 4 so if I have 8 daily points leftover only 4 rollovers but I do suggest eating the full daily as well! Loved the video! Keep it going:)

This is a great video I was just thinking of using paper money n taking 30 dollars n deduct every time I eat until there is none left glad you read my mind lol I love this idea n don’t worry I gained too we will eventually go back to losing ��

thats why WW is no good calories are to low so people stop loosing weight

I Morine Barnes does Weightwatchers and Gym. I found your advice interesting. Basically ones as to diet and exercise to lose weight to be a healthy weight. What else is there. Thx.

Has anyone found online WW motivating or are meetings truly the best option.

The reason healthy fats like avocado and nuts have points is because they are easy to overeat and are trigger foods for many, not because WW thinks they’re bad.

I just reached my lifetime goal weight AGAIN. So now I can start going for free. But I’m scared the aren’t going to honor the going for free once lifetime status and WW confirmed that what to do with lifetime membership hasn’t been decided yet.

cant watch the whole thing because of the yelling also addressing your viewers as “hey, fatty!” seems a bit uncalled for, i’m not fat but i like to watch stuff out of curiosity. personally i believe it is stupid to pay a fee to people who then tell you how much you can eat and that fruits are worth zero points which makes no sense cause you can gain A LOT of weight by eating nothing but fruits. but this guy waaaay overthinks it. if only people could somehow learn to only eat when hungry and human sized portions, the diet industry would implode within weeks

Haven’t heard that my meetings will be closing, but I figured some in the area would be cut. I miss my meetings and feel that I’m not getting much out of the WW virtual meetings (different leader). I’m on the last month of my commitment and was debating canceling, going online only or sticking with it in order for my local to stay open (hopefully in June we’ll be able to go back). Over the last couple of years, I started with WW online, quit, tried iTrackBites, rejoined WW with studio meetings last fall. With my studio meetings going up in cost once my 9-month deal is over with, I’m not sure I want to stay with studio going up in price for me to $44.95.

I was going to over eaters anonymous. Lol it does exist and it’s like 2 dollars donation per meetup. You are a kind of abstinence at it’s core. You should start a group. It’s been around since WW. They deal with addiction to food. No six meals a day crap either. Just talk to others about same issues.

I’m so glad you are doing this series! It’s like a refresher for those of us on the plan! I am looking forward to seeing more videos!:)

No one is going to eat five bowls of yogurt. But some may eat five donuts. I have been on weight watchers since January and have had great results. I also disagree that it’s not about relationships with people. What do you think the meetings are about? Some people are addicted to food just like alcoholics are addicted to alcohol. For a lot of people those meetings keep them on the right path and hold them accountable.

Everything isn’t for everyone. I am not out here trying to look like a supermodel. I am just trying to feel better,, look better in my clothes and have more energy. I have accomplished that.

Your hair looks great today! Thank you for all the information!

I completely agree about the healthy fats. I think WW dings healthy fats pretty heavily. Mine are olive oil, avocado and pistachios. Conversely, I track apples and bananas as 1 point because of the sugar.

Greg been shouting at me so much to buy his a book, i might even do it

Loved this video!! So informative..can u make a video on how to stay motivated please. I’m going to love these kind of videos.

Omg I so love, adore and respect these two woman. Oprah is looking so good and I’m really happy that she would never put her name on anything that she hasn’t tried for herself.

BTW: there is a food addiction org, it is called Overeaters Anonymous (OA). Tried for 2 years with no success. Problem for me was that you can cut every other addictive thing out of your life forever (alcohol, drugs, sex, etc) except food. That is why I love the fasting. No decision to make.

WW works for some people, but after a year I gave up and ended at my starting weight. Couldn’t stand tracking food.

Keep it up, Cole!

Greg,
I’d like to give you my perspective. I’ll start with yes you are 100% right and I get the point you were making, I’m entirely in agreement with your video. I have done WW and lost 20 some pounds. I was 247 and got down to around 222lbs on weight watchers after around 3 months. What I think works about it is that it encourages better food choices, and portion control. Now given what you have said, yes you could be doing exactly what you have stated, eating tons of 0 point foods and it actually end up not helping you. However luckily for me, I’m a nerd so I took the points as I would in video game currency. How can I not spend points as much as possible? If you didn’t use all your points, they rolled over and if you worked out, you got fit points (it can link with a fitbit to get whatever numbers they need to “calculate” fit points) but at the start of a new week, points reset. I have never used extra points, never used my fit points, always stayed within the 36 they gave me each day per week. So using the app, you can scan bar codes to get point values. You can get a simplified idea of how shitty some of the advertised “healthier foods” really are. This is probably the ONLY thing I miss about WW, is knowing how shitty some foods are in simpler terms. My opinion is that WW CAN work, just as any other thing you pay for, as long as you follow the basics that you already preach FOR FREE. All it does is kind of help guide you towards the right path. The honest question is WHO is weight watchers for? Mostly women. My GF wanted to lose weight and saw results in her friends that used it so I joined with her to support her and make it easier for her to stay on track. She showed me a WW facebook group and this is where all the people you would assume to be doing what you said in your video. These people would find ANY excuse to use EVERY SINGLE POINT and post DAILY about how they had extra points so they went out and got a 22 point starbucks coffee, while other women giggled back and supported them. These people are the suckers of WW you are talking about in your video. I again, agree with you and am no longer on WW. I just watch what I am eating, stopped eating trash, limited my drinking and have been lifting/doing cardio (also watching your videos). I just wanted to share my perspective, because it worked for me but I was not a retard who just ate 11 point donuts because “hurr durr i still got 12 points left!” It worked for me because I was doing what I could have been doing for free eating better, exercise, and portion control. BUUT you don’t need to spend $20 a month for this stuff. But hey, some people need something like that because they don’t have the willpower to do it right on their own. But I no longer need that. Just wanted to share my experience and perspective since I’ve been on it.
Thanks

Hi, I’m Olivia too:) I just recently restarted WW. Have had success with it in the past, but fell off the wagon. Funny thing…. I ate a half an avocado today and tracked it as 1/4 avocado because I believe it is a very healthy food that I think is an important part of my diet. Then I saw your video and felt vindicated. I won’t do it every day, but I do think it is reasonable to do that with certain foods. 
Also, from previous diet experiences I have found if my fat intake is too low I don’t lose weight. Obviously if it is too high I don’t lose weight either, But several times in the past when I was plateauing if I ate a few olives or a few nuts or some avocado… it seemed to help get me off the plateau.

Thanks! Just started weight watchers and didn’t really understand what the weekly points were for. Still not sure about where my rollover points go.

Thanks, Barrett for the video. Meetings were not for me. You know how to reassure people!

Nice vlog. I just started watching you and you are so calm and relaxed in your manner that it is a pleasure to watch and listen to you. I agree about the oils and fats. I often substitute chix thighs for breast as long as no skin and don’t count the points. Not sure about avocado as they disappear in my family too quickly for me to even eat most weeks so I rarely eat one. ��

I mean…if Oprah has been advocating this company since the 80s-90s and still looks overweight, might want to look into something else to lose weight.

I totally get your chips & cookies! Crackers for me are totally my Achilles heel as silly as that sounds. They are easily grabable and very satisfying (fat, salt, crispy etc). Keeping them just out of the house is a great idea. Just don’t even tempt myself

I loved finding someone who thinks the same way about healthy fats. In general I think ww encourages people (perhaps inadvertently) To eat food that are low fat or sugar free (often very processed) to have lower points, but I think it’s better to work towards a diet that includes all food in portions that are healthy for us. Have full fat but a smaller quantity for example, we’re usually just used to eating a lot more than is good for us. Anyway I haven’t heard anyone speak about this before so it was great finding your video!

So helpful about the fats! Just what I needed. This has been my biggest issue because I need fats for epilepsy.

That explains the survey they had me do asking if I would rather do zoom, in person or a mix of both.

I love your videos and cookbook. Changed the game for me. Losing fat, building muscle and feeling better than ever. I’m so thankful for you!

Thank you, thank you for being the voice of reason. I did digital for a year and did fine. I only started going to meetings to get my lifetime status and to hopefully keep me on track after goal.

im so glad i found your videos! im in my first month of ww and your videos have been helpful for me. also your well spoken and easy to listen to. now im a new subscriber:)

Thanks for clearing up. I haven’t heard any of these rumors yet.

Oprah was beautiful before and after the weight loss. She’s just an inspirational, beautiful, driven person….period.

Cookies, chips and crackers are my weakness, too! It’s my crack and had to go cold turkey! Now I get my crunch from carrots. It’s not the same but I know it’s better for me.

I’ve now done WW three different times each time I make Lifetime, I eventually slide back into eating more than I should of things I adore, but need to be eliminated. My “healthy fat” issue was always kalamata olives. I could eat 6 for 1 point on the first version of WW I went on in 2010. I’ve continued to consider them healthy and “fat” in the same way you do avocados.

did you say that there is a 30 point daily minimum?  Is that for each person or did I misunderstand?

How long did it take them to loose the weight? 2 years 3? These are still calories so it don’t matter. Did you know your weight watcher coach with advise you that if your losing more then 2 pounds a week to increase your points?Forger this BS and check out the 5 bite diet! You will lose way more faster and keep it off! Weight watchers is complete crap.

Its a scam, by definition:

noun
1. a confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, especially for making a quick profit; swindle.

If its making money off of something you can do on your own for free…. ITS A SCAM!

Whatever works is my opinion. If weightwatchers works for u do it.

Hi Olivia, I am new to WW and have not read all of the Q&A’s so please forgive me if this is redundant. 1) The ‘blue dot’ range do you know what it is called in the new WW system and/or is there something like it now? 2) High activity goal of 59 points. My program goal is 22 points per week. Is this where you tried to get 59 points per week? And why 59 and not 60? just curious!!! Thanks and I was/am very encouraged by your video. I’m only on Day 12 and have lost 7.1 lbs!

I think you are right on the money about the healthy fats. And I as well do much better without the processed snacks in my kitchen because I can’t stay out of them. I don’t binge but like you said they are temptations I find hard to resist.

I would love to see a video where they get to the point and do not go on and on-short and to the point

Is there a Coach Greg t-shirt? Because I want one. Can’t stop watching your videos. Keep it up!

Great video. You look too young to have been a Points Plus group leader, though. ��Peace! TONI ��������

Hey will this work for men as well? I’m going to sign up tomorrow it’s a new year and I must loose weight. I just hope it’s hot hard to follow.

Thank you for sharing part of your healthy weight loss journey.

Great video! To be honest you explained smart points better than my leader ever did.

Thank you Olivia on all your insight. I REALLY needed that today. Struggling with what is sustainable and healthy. I was doing Keto for a healthy option along with getting my 13 lbs back off. I injured my hip and running was not an options for months, but walk everyday on my lunch, even if it is freezing cold. Keto had me frustrated most days from all the thinking and I feel I have to do for food. Not really a HUGE dairy fan, so that would eliminate that. Anyway, your video inspired me to get back to what works and realistic. THANK YOU. I would love to know about your running.

OMG thank you! I am brand new to WW and what you said about the 3 Cs at the ends is ME ALL THE WAY! I must avoid those things, as they are also my binge foods. Thank you for all the good ideas, you look beautiful! =)

What is the best way to start WW?
Are there get starter video’s for the
program?
Love tip’s you gave, Thank You appreciated.

I really want to try WW. I have tried every thing from low fat, low carb, vegan, IF, fasting, and feel more lost than ever. The new WW program seems to really encourage balance and healthier food choices and this might just be what I need. It’s a bummer that I tried registering yesterday and couldn’t get anything to work. The only answer from tech support was to refund me and have me do the whole process again, but now the credit won’t show on my card for a couple days. Really disappointing since I was looking into signing up for quite a while and finally went for it yesterday only to have it backfire… but I am willing to try again and hopefully everything works out for me. Thanks for sharing. I love your videos!

Great tips. I’m not tracking at some point I may start I’ve lost every week for the last 7 week’s. If at some point I don’t lose then I will start. I don’t attend WW meetings but follow their program. There’s a few people on YouTube that I see what they buy, cook and eat. I’m 77 so I’m not going to regiment my life to strongly. I’ve decided if their something I really want to eat I will. This week I lost 3 lbs, I eat two meals a day and drink a Premium protein shake in between. That’s my life pretty much. I appreciate what u said and I think everyone needs to decide what their goals are and how they are going to work their diet for their life.

It is fun to watch someone that lacks the mental ability to express themselves without cursing and raving like an idiot. Looser.

If you’re counting macros aren’t you at some level counting calories? 1 gram fat = 9 calories, etc?

Also not all plans have the same free foods. Also if you choose to have more free foods you have less points to spend on other foods. Do you know anyone who can eat so much plain grilled chicken breast with no flavorings that they are going into huge amounts of calories???

The point of the program is to gear you towards high fiber, high protein, lower fat foods to teach you that nutrient dense foods fuel your body better. You could eat 3 donuts a day and lose weight but you’d feel like absolute crap. The point is to learn what foods fuel your body for good and not make your glucose levels spike.

Also lots of people do weight watchers for the community support in addition to the guidance. The average lay person finds it easier to look up a food on an app and track points than to track “macros” on their own.

Thank you for this video! I think a lot of us needed some clarification lol. You explained everything so well, I think I can wrap my head around all the rumours now! And thank you for recommending my channel to your followers, it means the world to me! Love watching your videos for all the WW support I need!

Telling Ellen about buying the stock wouldn’t have been insider trading since Oprah didn’t have any inside info. If Oprah had inside info, she would be guilty of committing a crime whether she told anyone else about it or not.

Hi, I’m joining due to being a type 2 diebetic which I was told about in June, so I’m on a study for Cambridge Uni, about newly diagnosed to see if it will help our blood sugars. I’m almost a vegetarian, just once a month we ha e a roast with family. Do the points change if a meat eater or not please? Many thanks from Ros in March, Cambridgeshire, England. X

I dont do the meetings anymore. I really gain knowledge from your group and all the lovely youtube channels! thanks for all you do to help!

Such an amazing video, that was soooooo helpful!! Thank you! I think the last slide should have listed weekly points as savings, but other than that PERFECTION! I bet you were an awesome leader!!!

Love, love,love. Thank you very, very much. Happy 4th. Hugs, Lorie

I wish they’d make programs like this illegal. The psychological trauma can be no joke because they spend all their money thinking they finally have the solution.
