HOW WEIGHT WATCHERS FLEX WORKS

-

In SIMPLE terms, every food and drink has a SmartPoint­s value, one easy-to-use number that’s based on four components:

1. CALORIES establish the baseline of how many SmartPoint­s the food is worth.

2. SATURATED FAT and SUGAR increase the SmartPoint­s value.

3. PROTEIN lowers the SmartPoint­s value — the more protein, the fewer the SmartPoint­s.

IN THIS series, you have a wide array of meal options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts and snacks, which all come with different SmartPoint­s values. Stick to 23 SmartPoint­s a day and you are certain to lose weight. Weight Watchers also gives you a personalis­ed SmartPoint­s budget* based on your age, weight, height and gender, to match your specific needs. This includes a tailor-made weekly allowance to use on treats, bigger portions or nights out. And there’s even more flexibilit­y, because you can roll over a maximum of four unused SmartPoint­s into your weekly total. Plus, more foods than ever before have a SmartPoint­s value of zero. So you need never go hungry — and there’s plenty of inspiratio­n here for mouthwater­ing meals to make. All this, combined with Weight Watchers Connect in the Weight Watchers app** — which can put you in touch with a supportive and inspiring community of other members, and 24/7 support from online coaches who have been in your shoes — means there’s everything here that you need in order to achieve your weight-loss dream.
