Workday lunch and supper are where I'm using the 0 point foods. My workday morning snack is going to stay the same. My workday breakfast is going to stay the same. Make a pasta sauce using lentils or ground turkey. Make burgers from ground chicken or turkey, or beans, tofu, or lentils. There are so many good recipes out there! Make scrambled eggs, frittatas, quiches, and anything. If you're getting sick of the same chicken, same eggs, same beans, etc., change it up. So people are just counting extra lean ground chicken or turkey as 0. So for example it's really hard to get ground chicken breast here (according to my meeting). Being able to eat beans and tofu for no points is amazing!! I believe people have to tweak the program. Hate it or love it? Share! Pin Facebook Email Please share your review of Weight Watchers Freestyle. All of these Freestyle recipes are very low in points and easy to make. You have to stick to the zero points foods or you will be super hungry.įor those of you who are working the program and loving Freestyle – here are some recipe lists for you. I wish Weight Watchers would stop saying “you can eat whatever you want and lose weight” because while the statement is true – I think it is misleading especially given Freestyle. So for the “free protein” eaters, the decrease in daily points was no big deal and made the diet easier for them. The people who love Freestyle are vegetarians who eat beans and tofu (zero points!) and others who find that the new zero point foods were already in their plans. I understand that this member is pretty frustrated with the program. is pushing protein but I am sure that it is not as extreme as South Beach. I agree that the emphasis on “Zero points” chicken breast, eggs, fish, etc. I'm extremely disappointed - all that protein isn't particularly healthy, it's EXPENSIVE, and it most certainly isn't balanced. Weight Watchers was the one plan that knew how to balance carbs and protein for a healthy diet and weight loss. If I wanted a high protein/low carb diet, I'd do Atkins or South Beach or any number of other diets out there. High protein/low carb diets are the worst for me. Gained weight and was very hungry all week long. Many people who have started Freestyle are finding it to be far more restrictive than Smart Points because you lose 7 points per day! If you had it all figured out – all of a sudden you had to refigure it out. I can no longer fit red meat, condiments, avocados or a bit of red wine or a tiny candy bar into my week, so I gave up and quit the program. I never ate more than 3 ounces of meat with any meal, so trading that 1 point of chicken or tuna or whatever for the loss of 7 points a day was not acceptable. Wouldn’t you hate a program that messed with the habits you have learned that actually help you lose weight? Losing weight is hard enough!
