THE WEIGHT WATCHERS PROGRAM

Liveable Plans That Won't Leave You Hungry Choose a flexible food plan you can follow The Flex and Core Plan Food Plans Tailored to Your Life

Why the Flex Plan?

There’s no need to give up your favorite foods while losing weight. On the Flex Plan, our updated version of the popular POINTS® Food System, you can eat any food you want. Just stay within your personalized daily POINTS® Target and you’ll be making healthier, better food choices in no time.

How the POINTS system works

Every food has a POINTS® value, which is calculated based on a food’s calories, fat and fiber. POINTS® values help you keep track of what you eat, so that you stay within a daily POINTS® Target that’s personalized for you, based on your height, weight and other factors, such as gender. Along with your daily POINTS® Target, you also get a “Weekly Allowance” to use for a special occasion like a night on the town--so you can still indulge sometimes, without going off track.

Why the Core Plan?

It’s easy to follow. With the Core Plan, there’s no counting—you can eat as much as you need to feel satisfied. The Core Plan provides a balanced diet by centering on a list of healthy foods that keep you full longer. These Core Foods include avocados, potatoes, salsa, brown rice, lean meats, and more.

How the Core Plan works

The Core Food List is based on the science of energy density. It contains foods that are low in energy density, meaning they contain a small number of calories per ounce. That means they’ll make you feel more satisfied while you are actually consuming fewer calories. You can mix and match these foods as much as you want, and you’ll learn to stay aware of hunger and fullness, so you won’t overeat. Along with eating any Core Foods you want, you get a “Weekly Allowance” for foods that aren’t on the Core Plan. You can use them for daily treats, a night on the town, or a special occasion--so you can still indulge sometimes, without going off track. You decide which plan makes the most sense for you, your schedule and your life—or we can help you choose one, if you like. Both plans are simple, easy to learn, and offer advice to help you stick with them. And our plans are flexible enough to fit real-life situations and still keep you satisfied.
