DRS 23 | The New Weight Watchers Point System




The Dr. Rob Show - Healthy Weight Loss Podcast show

Summary: In this episode of the Dr. Rob show we discuss the drastic change Weight Watchers has recently made to their point system.  For years, Weight Watcher's followed the philosophy that all calories are created equal, but now has changed their stance based on current research.   The new point system gives more priority to whole foods, such as lean sources of protein , vegetables and some fruits.  In addition, the new point system deemphasizes the consumption of refined and processed foods becasue of the distorted caloric density.  Eventhough the point system is still an intentional caloric restriction based program, Dr. Rob voices his opinion on the postive change made by the weight loss company.
