Yo WeWa Peeps
So I joined WeWa online last night.
Tell me your best tips. The last time I tried it was before points plus, so it is a little different. It seems like there are a lot more zero points foods (few fruits had zero points last time, so I like that). And I have more weekly points. It seems like carb-y foods have more points than what I remember (like cereal). Which is probably a good thing.
From what I've read on here, I need to start reading skinny taste, yes?
Re: Yo WeWa Peeps
Ideally, a lower/smarter carb, lower fat, higher fiber, higher protein diet is what you are looking at.
Stuff that works for me:
Greek Yogurt is a great choice because of the high protein than regular yogurt.
Zero point fruits and veggies will keep me full, obviously. I only use spray butter on veggies after they are steamed with a little pepper. I keep salt to a minimum.
Points for alcohol have went up a lot, so I save up for drinking or I only drink on the weekend.
We eat beans a lot. LOL They just fill us up and are a good side dish.
I feel like the oil is pretty important for digestion.
Skinnytaste will be your saving grace! I think she even has a section on her gluten free stuff too, which will be nice for you.
I have a couple apps on my iphone that I like a lot, that aren't the official WeWa apps. Restaurant Nutrition, from Foundation HealthCare Network which is just another restaurant database. And also DietScanCalc from Ovidiu Tisler, which will tell you point values on most foods by scanning the bar code when you are shopping.
Ooh thanks! I think I will really like the scanning one.
I found that a lot of my GF stuff (bread, crackers, etc.) isn't in the weight watchers database, but I figure I'll just need to build up my own list by putting them in based on nutrition facts.
