How the PointsPlus system works
The PointsPlus program takes into account how your body processes food. You’ll be guided towards smarter and delicious choices – like Power Foods, that make your body work harder while providing great nutrition throughout the day.
Food is just part of our new approach. We also offer advice on developing healthy habits, building a supportive environment, and getting exercise.
The PointsPlus program is based on the latest nutritional science, and factors in the way your body actually processes food. Combined with the proven advantages of the Weight Watchers approach, the program helps you make healthy choices.
Weight Watchers developed the “four pillars of healthy weight loss” based on years of scientific research and analysis. And our 45 years of experience helping people lose weight has taught us that each element is equally important.
You’ll learn to choose delicious foods that can keep you feeling fuller for longer. There are absolutely no required foods, and the program gives you the flexibility to enjoy extras and treats – which is important to long-term success.

- Little consideration for you as an individual, with just one approach to suit everyone’s needs.
