Weight Watchers New Momentum Weight Loss Plan

Late last year Weight Watchers, the most popular diet company in the world released its new plan, New Momentum. The company, well known for its in-person and online community support, makes significant changes to its program offerings every few years in response to research and information from members.

Weight Watchers New Momentum combines the most effective parts of its two previous offerings, Core and Flex, into one program for all Weight Watchers members. The new plan plan centers around:

The Weight Watchers Points System & Weekly Point Allowance

The points system is the most famous part of the Weight Watchers program. Every food and beverage is assigned a certain number of points per serving according to its calorie, fat, and nutritional content. Weight Watchers members track the number of points they consume within their weekly point allowance. You also giant Activity Points for exercise and even brisk walking.

The Filling Foods List

The foods list can be thought of as the next generation of the old Weight Watchers Core program, where you could any foods on the list until satisfied, without counting or using points. The items on the filling foods list are high in fiber and water, and lower in fat and calories. The idea is that these foods will make you feel fuller. Thus the name. For members who do not want to count points for everything, there is something called the Simply Filling technique, which allows you to eat until satisfaction from the filling foods list. If that sounds a lot like the old Core plan, it is.

While the packaging and name of everything in Weight Watchers is different, the basics are the same. Eat whatever you like up to a set amount of fat and calories and you will lose weight. If you can't keep track that closely, eat foods that are good for you until no longer hungry. And hungry is very important part of Weight Watchers New Momentum. As well as keeping track of the food you eat, how much water you drink and how much exercise you get, the program wants you to really concentrate on your hunger. Knowing when you need to eat and when to stop. Understanding when your body is hungry or when it's just your head. Getting a grip on that helps set you on the path to long term, sustained weight loss and better health.
