How Zero Point Foods Help with Weight Loss

How do zero-point foods work? According to WW, ZeroPoint foods have—you guessed it—0 Points because they are the foundation of healthy eating.

Full of fiber and protein, these foods also support overall health, keep you full, and bulk up and add flavor to your meals. And, of course, you can eat as much as you like to gentle satisfaction.

While serving sizes are listed as a helpful guide, these foods do not increase in point value if you eat more than one serving.

Many programs consider just calories. The WW system takes it a step further, considering a food’s complex nutritional factors, like added sugars, fiber, protein, and saturated fats vs. unsaturated fats, to create a single number: the Points value. ⁣Points take the guesswork out of nutrition.

WW Zero Point Foods List for Diabetic Plan

Zero-point foods for the diabetic Weight Watchers plan do NOT include fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, corn, potatoes, starchy vegetables, oatmeal, and popcorn. These foods can still be eaten, but they have points that need to be counted.

If you are a diabetic member, before you feel cheated by the WW system, keep in mind that you receive additional daily points to compensate for this variation.

You can adjust your diabetic status anytime in the WW app under “settings.”
