Frequently Asked Questions
WeightWatchers isn’t about strict restrictions or fad dieting. Instead, it uses a proven Points® system that helps members make smarter food choices without giving up the meals they love. With ZeroPoint® foods, personalised plans, community support, and professional guidance, WeightWatchers focuses on long-term success. It’s designed to fit real lifestyles, making it easier to stay consistent and achieve lasting results compared to short-term diet trends.
The Points® system assigns values to foods based on calories, protein, fibre, fat, and sugar content. Each member receives a customised daily Points budget tailored to their body, goals, and activity level. By tracking meals, choosing ZeroPoint® foods, and managing within the budget, members learn portion control and balanced nutrition. This flexible system allows favourite foods while promoting healthier habits, making weight loss achievable, sustainable, and enjoyable.
ZeroPoint® foods are nutritious items that don’t need to be tracked, such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, beans, eggs, and yoghurt. They help members build healthier meals with less effort and more flexibility. Because these foods are naturally satisfying and nutrient-rich, they encourage better choices without feelings of restriction. ZeroPoint foods simplify tracking, making the program easier to follow while promoting satiety, balance, and long-term weight management.
