[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]Yes, this was my problem, too. I can and do overeat "healthy" foods, including the zero point foods. I gained on this program, and quickly. I'm glad it's working for others, but I wish that WW gave you the option of staying with previous programs that focused as much on portion control.[/b][/quote]

I'm thinking of joining but I have a real problem with portion control. I am new vegan (formerly a vegetarian born and raised) and I can easily overdo it on rice, eggs when I was vegetarian, etc. But I like WW a lot (have lost weight before about 30 pounds before kids) so I'm trying to talk myself into joining again. I suppose one could self-regulate with zero-point foods even though the program doesn't ask you to? Is anyone doing this?

The freestyle 0-point foods are ONLY fruit, veg, and pure protein. So unless you're going to truly gorge on apples, plain lettuce, beans with no fat, and hard boiled eggs, I think you might do ok!  [/quote]
