Have you resolved to eat healthier? I definitely have.In addition to giving up soda pop (even diet soda!), I have resolved to eat a healthy breakfast and choose healthier snacks.I have always been pretty good about eating healthy dinners…it’s the snacks that get me. Especially if I haven’t eaten breakfast or lunch and make a meal of snack food.
I am using a few strategies to eat lower-calorie, healthier snacks. First, I am stocking the house with delicious, low-cal snacks. I am prepping them in advance so that when I am hungry it is easy to make a smart food choice. I have removed the trigger foods from my home like soda which goes well with salty chips. If I don’t have soda in the house to wash down junk food, there are a lot of things, I just won’t eat. Finally, I am not stocking my unhealthy favorites.
My husband and kids do not need to watch their weight, but they are supportive of me. I have created a list of less-than-healthy snack food that they like, but that don’t tempt me, and I stock those snack foods. They do not feel deprived and I don’t give into temptation.

Thank you very much. i think a lot of people are looking for such a content from you. hope you will have more share such.
Everyone is given a list of zero point foods. That's right – you can eat as much as you want and not track a point! Weight Watchers purposefully makes a ton of foods zero points – and for good reason: it's fruits and vegetables! Specifically non-starchy vegetables.
If all you want is a sweet end to your day, you'll find the most value in two Mini Midgee Tootsie Rolls, or one Twizzlers Snack Size, Dum Dum, Jolly Ranchers, or Tootsie Pops Miniature for 1 SmartPoints value each.
Ready for some really good news? Air-fried popcorn is zero points in Weight Watchers! To really enjoy this favorite WW snack, make sure you aren't adding any butter, oil, or sugar to the mix. Instead, you can use herbs and spices of your choice to add some flavor, and just make sure to watch the portions.
Eggs are a ZeroPoint foods so they do not have any Points® values—even in a cake recipe. However other ingredients you're adding to your eggs may have Points, so make sure to track them.
*People following the WW program can expect to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. Plus, research shows that changing what you eat and increasing physical activity leads to more weight loss than just altering what's on your plate.
Weight Watchers encourages healthy eating and discourages food deprivation. While following a WW plan, you can expect to lose an average of 8 pounds a month, or 2 pounds a week. This is a realistic and healthy goal to aim for, according to the Mayo Clinic.
It: Requires food tracking: Following the program requires tracking foods — and their associated Points — that you consume each day. This can be a tedious and time-consuming task and may be a turnoff for some. May be too lenient: The WeightWatchers program may be too lenient for those whose top concern is self-control.
Yoghurt and cottage cheese (specifically plain, 99% fat-freet varieties) have made it onto the list of ZeroPoint food groups because they are nutrient-dense, packed with protein, and great sources of calcium and vitamin D, two key nutrients that are important for bone health.
