Please give cliff notes version of difference between WW points of 2000 vs. ww today

[Anonymous]

Back in 2000 we used a slider thing and it was based on calories and fiber. Most vegetables were 0 points. Now how are points calculated?

There’s several different plans and the app tells you.

Yes, I understand if I pay for the ap I find out, but I would like to know how it works before paying.

I started WW in 2020 and it’s changed 2x already. The latest was just weeks ago. It looks like there are a lot of zero foods like eggs, chicken etc.

I personally don’t like the zero foods - I need to be very strict. I’m switching over to MyFitnessPal and working with a nutritionist.

I did lose 30 lbs. but I want to lose another 20 and need to shake things up.

Good luck

Thanks. Yeah, I need to count points for things like eggs unless I am just having whites. I do best just having vegetables without any oil be my 0 point foods. I miss going to ww meetings in person back in the day.You get so many ideas and tricks. I checked out the instagram and am not impressed at all. My other problem with them is so much promotion of processed foods. For overall health there really needs to be a massive push for whole foods and some points penalty for ultra processed "diet" food.

You can download the Healthi app from the app store and pick whatever plan you want to use. I do one from the mid 2000s, that I feel was successful for me. I don’t know about today, but I got off their track about ten years ago when they changed to account for sugar (good thing) but made my previously fine days blow up by lunch,

Interesting. I agree that it is good they account for sugar though, but I hope that doesn't encourage people to use fake sugars which are terrible for the gut. I will look at the Healthi app.
