HOW IT WORKS

WW’S healthy eating programme, myWW+, works because it’s flexible and based on solid science.

It is based on four key elements: healthy eating, exercise, good sleeping patterns and a mindset package that helps you to adopt a healthier frame of mind.

To tailor your food choices to your lifestyle, myWW+ offers a choice of three plans: Green, Blue and Purple.

You can go to ww.com or the myWW+ app for a personalised assessment to discover which plan is best for you.

All plans are based on SmartPoints and ZeroPoint foods; every food and drink has a SmartPoints value — one easy-to-use number that naturally guides you towards a healthier pattern of eating.

On top of this, you can enjoy ZeroPoint foods. These are vital for your health and have a SmartPoints value of 0, meaning you can eat them without counting or weighing them.

When you join myWW+, you’re given a customised SmartPoints Budget according to which plan you are matched with. The list of ZeroPoint foods also depends on your plan. GREEN: For people who eat on the go or enjoy pre-prepared foods, Green gives a Daily Budget of 30 SmartPoints and 100+ ZeroPoint fruits and veggies to choose from. BLUE: If you like cooking, but also want the flexibility of the occasional ready-meal, Blue offers a Daily Budget of 23 SmartPoints and 200+ ZeroPoint foods. PURPLE: Tailored for someone who cooks from scratch and doesn’t want to weigh or measure ingredients, Purple gives the lowest Daily Budget of 16 SmartPoints but the highest allowance of 300+ ZeroPoint foods.

You also get a weekly allowance (weeklies) for splurges or bigger portions; up to four unused SmartPoints from your Daily Budget can be rolled over to your weeklies.

On top of this, you can also boost your SmartPoints Budget by earning additional FitPoints for any activity you undertake.
