Weight Watchers Diet Plan Review

The Weight Watchers Points system is based on reducing the number of calories you eat each day. But rather than count calories, you count Weight Watchers points instead.

In November 2010 Weight Watchers changed the way the points are calculated with the introduction of the Weight Watchers Pro Points Plan.

Does the Weight Watchers Pro Points Plan work? And what makes it better than the old system? The short answer is yes, it does work. Any diet where you burn off more calories than you take in will lead to weight loss. The reason it’s better than the old system is that it takes into account the amount of protein in your diet (I’m guessing the “Pro” in Pro Points stands for protein).

In November 2010, Weight Watchers announced that its Points system was being replaced by a new PointsPlus system in the United States and a new Pro Points system in the UK. The old system was based on a calculation based on calories, fat, and fibre content. The new system is based on protein, carbohydrates, fat and fibre.
