Article By: Elizabeth Josefsberg


Welcome to Week Two of the Challenge to Use the PointsPlus Program. We dare you to dig in and make use of all of the amazing tools available, while watching the pounds melt away.
Join us for the next four weeks as we give you tasks that really allow you to take full advantage of the features that make the PointsPlus program so unique and revolutionary.

The introduction of a brand new plan in a brand new year is a perfect opportunity to focus on your weight loss and hone the skills you need to build. To help you get there, we’re going to take you through some of the great features of the PointsPlus program, which heralds a new, smarter way of eating.

Each week for the next four weeks we will focus on one of four pillars of the plan, sharing techniques, tips and strategies that will assist you in your efforts.

Week 2: Getting smarter
The message is clear. Not all PointsPlus values are created equal. Certain foods are more filling, nutritious and serve your body better than others. Taking the time to incorporate those foods into your meals allows you to eat more while losing weight. The PointsPlus program is crammed with tools that can help you learn to make smarter food choices. Food choices that lead to greater overall eating satisfaction while supporting weight loss. This week we challenge you to take time to understand how Weight Watchers Power Foods and the Good Health Guidelines steer you toward more eating satisfaction, better overall health, and weight loss.

The amazing thing about the tools is that they are intricately linked. If you take a careful look at the Good Health Guidelines you will notice that most of them guide you toward Weight Watchers Power Foods! They urge you to consume fruits, veggies, lean meats and calcium servings. By following the Good Health Guidelines you are effortlessly maxing out on Weight Watchers Power Foods!

As you tackle this week’s challenge to familiarize yourself with both tools more fully, perhaps you will reread each list and guideline, as they are brimming with information. A deeper knowledge of each and stricter adherence will only make your experience on the Plan more enjoyable! After spending some time familiarizing, take it one step further. Renovate a meal, adding Weight Watchers Power Foods or challenge yourself to squeeze in those two teaspoons of healthy oil each day. Push yourself toward those smarter food choices.

You may notice that when you follow the Good Health Guidelines you won't have a huge amount of room in your daily PointsPlus Target for indulgences. Smart, successful members take advantage of another great tool available to them, their weekly PointsPlus Allowance. Man cannot live on fruits and veggies alone! Use that weekly PointsPlus Allowance to keep life interesting. Work in your favorite indulgence alongside all of your healthy, new Weight Watchers Power Foods this week.

Join in the conversation. Share how you spend your weekly PointsPlus Allowance or how you get the Good Health Guidelines in each day. Found a great new way to work a Weight Watchers Power Food into your day? Share it in the Community!
