Food in the Program
The people at Weight Watchers now very well that sticking with a weight loss plan isn't easy, so they have designed two flexible and healthy food plans. These food plans called the Flex Plan and the Core Plan, emphasize the importance of staying satisfied with nutritious food choices, like whole-grains, low-fat protein, and fruits and vegetables. Both allow the occasional splurge without sacrificing weight loss. Unlike other programs, there are absolutely no required foods. There are some “Weight Watchers” foods that can help you along the way, but they’re not required. There is a common misconception about diets that you have to be literally starving 24x7. If you do it that way, it will cause a tremendous stress to your organism and soon after you switch back to your regular diet, you will quickly gain more weight than every before. Plus, rapid weight losses or gains have a negative effect on the human body. Such things must be done slowly and patiently. And that's why with the Weight Watchers program, there’s no need to deprive yourself when you’re losing weight. With their plans, you always have plenty of delicious and healthy food choices. You will get recipes and cooking tips on cooking for one or feeding a family.
There are two food plans - Flex and Core. Wit the Flex Plan, you can eat any food, as long as you keep track of "points values" and watch your portion sizes. All you have to watch out for in this plan is to be within your personalized daily POINTS Target. Every food has a POINTS value, which is calculated based on a food’s calories, fat and fiber. POINTS values help you keep track of what you eat, so that you stay within a daily POINTS Target that’s personalized for you, based on your height, weight and other factors, such as gender.
The Core Plan is easy to follow as there is no counting involved. The Core Plan provides a balanced diet by centering on a list of healthy foods that keep you full longer. These Core Foods include avocados, potatoes, salsa, brown rice, lean meats, and more. The Core Food List is based on the science of energy density. It contains foods that are low in energy density, meaning they contain a small number of calories per ounce. That means they’ll make you feel more satisfied while you are actually consuming fewer calories. You can mix and match these foods as much as you want, and you’ll learn to stay aware of hunger and fullness, so you won’t overeat. On the core Plan you can eat things like garden vegetable soup, grilled lean steak and vegetables, melon drunks, chicken and brown rice. Along with eating any Core Foods you want, you get a “Weekly Allowance” for foods that aren’t on the Core Plan.
