What is Weight Watchers?

Weight watchers WW is suitable for a plant based diet.

Weight Watchers, also referred to as WW, is a weight loss program which has been helping people lose weight while enjoying the foods they love for decades.

What are ZeroPoints™?

The WW system is a points-based weight loss plan which means certain foods and meals are matched with points. At the end of the day you tally the points you consumed to determine if you have stuck to your weight loss diet goals. Points make it easy to keep track of what you’re eating and if you’re eating too many calorie-dense foods throughout each day.

Certain foods count for zero points, hence their trademarked term, ZeroPoints foods. These types of foods are naturally low-fat and low calorie which means you can eat as much of the ZeroPoints™ foods that you want without adding points to your daily total.
