[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP here who just started Freestyle: I just had my first session with a coach and was pressing her a bit on whether people actually lose on Freestyle, because it absolutely is possible to overeat the zero points foods. The coach did not articulate the behavior change theory that PP did (which is fascinating) but I could tell the coach did not love Freestyle and did not have a lot of weight loss success stories to share.  I feel like it works if your habits are really bad to start, but I don't know if it will work for me.

I would say 60% of my current (overweight) diet is zero points foods -- I eat pretty well, I just eat too much.  And, my current habits leave me a lot of points for chocolate and wine.  The coach said I really need to focus on whether I feel full ... but I don't need WW to do that so I am skeptical.  I paid for a month of coaching and I see coaching as the real value here (vs the plan) so I will give it an honest try.[/quote]

I’m the behavior change specialist PP. I eat pretty well, too, but (so far) am finding Freestyle is working for me, I think because I was eating a lot of olive oil and dairy fat and grass fed beef. So this is a change, and I think sometimes it’s just changing SOMETHING helps. If you were already eating what Freestyle encourages I can see how you’d have no progress. What I’ve found is that all those free foods are ones we normally eat with fats or sugars. That chicken is usually sautéed with oil, and the roasted Brussels sprouts are cooked with oil, and fat-free plain yogurt really wants some honey. If you remove the fats and sugars the foods lose their hyper palatability and you are less likely to over eat. [/quote]
