A Touch of Evil Well, I was on the diet before and I managed to keep the weight I lost from it off. I never regained it but that's probably because I was running so I must have increased my metabolism. It's always worked for me so that's why I like it. I've always used my moms stuff because she used to be a member and when she quit, she gave me her materials and showed me how it works. It's outdated though (2005) so that's why I'm interested in the points plus system. I have been using the my fitness app for my iPhone to count calories lately but it's annoying. I've never liked counting calories and for some reason, counting points with weight watchers is so much easier.
You just answered your own question there. xp If it works for you then do it! It's essentially the same system but with different points and point allowances. And yeah, one of the jokes in the article I linked to says that counting points is faster than counting calories.
The points plus system takes into account the protein/carb/fat/fiber content (multiplied by a penalty) divided by the energy needed to digest the food. It's focusing more on nutrition. So it's pretty much the same as before, but everything has a new number. This is the equation that the new PointsPlus calculator is supposed to use:
Compared to the old equation:
There are some major changes when it comes to the points, though. For one, you can eat as many fruits/vegetables as you'd like. Secondly, you'll have more available points in the new system if you are more active. Lastly, weekly bonus points are now up to 49.
I've heard love and hatred from both sides. Older WW users don't like learning the new system. Newer WW users like how it focuses more on nutrition and with greater allowances. I've also heard a few problems with canceling after a trial; there have been complaints that the company does not honor a 100% refund, even when canceled the first day. One person said he could only get $5 from his $50 online membership when he realized the first day that he cannot navigate the website. But if you are asking to become a paying member, then you don't need to worry about this.
To get you started, their new system to determine daily points is a bit more complicated, but more accurate. With the information you gave us, we cannot determine your current point amount. Here is how to determine it, compared with the old system, if you would like to find out your starting points:
Hopefully, that should explain everything. @_@
