Disclaimer: The team of Weight Watchers keeps updating the program, according to the requirements/feedback of their members. The program has been updated many times, the latest one being the Weight Watchers 360° program, which was unveiled on the 3rd of December, 2012. The program teaches members how to manage their food environment, claiming that we tend to eat what we see. It also guides people on ways to control their temptation, and to avoid pleasure eating. Weight Watchers has not increased their rates for this new approach, and all the meetings, eTools, and apps are included in the total fee. The content in this article explains the Weight Watchers program in detail. The details of the current program are exclusively available to the paid members of Weight Watchers. Strenuous exercise regimes and weight loss diets are the two things that come to mind when we want to lose weight quickly. The best way to shed weight fast and tone your body, especially if you don't have enough time to exercise, is to keep a track of the number of calories and fats you are consuming with each meal. And so, the weight watchers point system guide is one such useful way which can help you lose weight fast without spending hours working out in a gym or following some strict weight loss diet. Weight watchers point system guide is a self monitoring system which helps you keep track of the number of calories you are consuming each day. The system uses a weight watchers points calculator to evaluate the points of the food, based on its calorie, fat, and fiber content. The point values are assigned to different types of foods, i.e. foods high in fiber and low in fat have low point values, and vice versa. Sausage and Kale Split Pea Soup Ingredients
