I come from a Weight Watchers family! My mom has been in Weight Watchers at various points over the course of my lifetime, most recently losing 90 pounds. This was a few years ago, and she has been able to maintain the weight (she’s still in WW).

I’ve done WW with her before, and at the end of last year I came back into the program during a time of HUGE changes! On December 3rd, 2017, Weight Watchers introduced the Freestyle™ Program.

This isn’t the first time they’ve revamped the program, which they do over the course of time as they learn more about nutrition and the way people lose weight.

A lot of people don’t like new program releases, but I actually love them – because I get to benefit from all of the WW research on nutrition. I love shortcuts!

I also want to eat the foods that make me feel the best.

So last year I jumped on board the Freestyle bandwagon. I even made a zero point chili recipe that I ate all last year (and I know you love it too!). I did well on the program last winter and lost 10 pounds.

This year I want to try to lose 10 pounds again (a few additional I didn’t lose, as well as a few that crept up on me this holiday season! :0)

What fruits and vegetables are free on Weight Watchers?

MOST fresh fruits and vegetables have ZERO points on Freestyle. You’ll notice that your daily allowance of points on Freestyle is smaller than it was on SmartPoints.

There’s a reason for this. It’s unspoken encouragement to eat more fruits and veggies!

Important Notes for Zero Point Fruits and Veggies

• Fruit should be packed without any added sugar – fruits in their own juice are fine
• Beans and vegetables should be packed without any added oil or sugar
• The following fruits and veggies still have points: Avocados, Cassava/Yuca, Olives, Parsnips, Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Yams, Vegetable Flours and Pastas
• Smoothies and dried fruits are NOT zero points. Learn more here.

Tips for Working the Freestyle Program

If you’re just starting the Freestyle Program, and Weight Watchers zero point foods are new to you, you might need some tips. I know I did when I first started! Here are my top tips:

1. Don’t overdo it. Just because some foods are now zero points doesn’t mean you should go nuts! Go nuts coming up with new ways to incorporate those foods, but don’t just eat a dozen apples because you can. The goal is moderation and diversity in your diet.
2. Use Weight Watchers zero point foods as a foundation. I like to say to myself, “let’s do something with green beans!” and then research/come up with a delicious way to use them. Veggies (and other healthy foods) don’t have to be gross.
3. Give yourself time. It takes awhile to learn anything new. Be patient and understanding with yourself. It WILL work. Just give yourself the time.
4. Use the recipe builder for Freestyle recipes as opposed to just entering caloric information. When you just enter the calories, the WW app/online tool doesn’t know that some of the foods you incorporated have no points. You MUST use the builder and tell WW what’s in the recipe for a correct calculation.
