Thanks, Alicia for the video. I have been a Lifetime Weight Watchers member under goal for years. My a1c was 5.7 in July, so I switched to the diabetic plan of WW to see if I could fight off diabetes. As a bonus, I dropped 5.8 pounds! The diabetic zero points has not changed for me for what I use in the new plan. All fruits count, yogurt, up to a point, I do not use ff cottage cheese, and all starchy veggies count. I am good with all of that, I never use my weeklies or all of my points anyway. I do like the photo shot of the food option for dining out. I like the macro count. I do not care about it not displaying calories, I do not count calories. For me, that could become an obsession. I just let WW take care of that for me. It has worked for over 44 years. I love your channel and recipes, Alicia! Your family is precious!

44 years, wow!! That is great it has worked so well for you for! Thanks for the information on the diabetic plan, it sounds like it was a good switch for you to go to that. I feel the same with the calories, I figure that is what counting the points is for. Thank you so much!!❤️

Love your videos. Really don’t like that the WW website is useless and they force you to use the app. I found it easier to build my own recipes on the site.
@AliciaLynnYT3 күн бұрын
I agree. I wish they didn't get rid of the website. It was much easier to use than the app for building recipes.

Thank you for the review of changes❤ I was worried but so far looks good, no worries of nonfat greek yogurt having points. That is a cooking essential 😅

Hi Susan👋 Yes, it's good for some situations. Any tracking is better than none!
@susanppereirasr72836 күн бұрын
Surprisingly though I tested it on my breakfast (scrambled eggs on toast, tomato, tangerine, bacon). As expected AI can’t determine my add ins to scrambled eggs nor did it know my bacon slices were half slices and uncured, but in a pinch better than not tracking at all!

It's pretty good but the free foods I'm more nervous about. I'm having a time with the scale being up and down at the moment and to add those free foods that were not before makes me a little nervous other than that. The first day it said I had like 27000-29000 sodium i think that part was way off, so we'll see how it goes!

I’ve heard coaches say this over and over, all zero point foods still have calories, so just keep that in mind. Good luck.

Thank you, Alicia! The recipe url link didn't work the first day, so I was waiting on clarification. This will be great. I don't enjoy typing on the phone. Preferred typing on the computer before they got rid of that. I will say that the potato and sweet potato and lean beef on the zero list are exciting. Thanks for allyou do.

Alicia, I have a couple of questions. 1. For the dark chicken, with an example of a chicken drumstick, if I cook it with the skin on & then remove it, does it still count as zero? 2. Saving new recipes, I often will edit the steps, to break it down for each step because it’s easier for me to follow. Once I’m done doing that it gives me the option of save as new or save as original. I’m always confused as what to use. Can you clarify that for me? I have one more question, but I can’t remember what it was. See what happens when you’re in your 70’s! LOL! Thanks so much for this video, it really helped me out . Now I remembered my other ? 3. When you allow yourself to have “cheat days” on the weekend, is it hard to go back to the plan on Mondays. I think I would. Thanks again, it was really helpful to have the changes explained.
@AliciaLynnYT3 күн бұрын
Hi Lynn, for the chicken, that probably depends on who you ask. I personally would remove any skin before cooking to ensure it was zero points. But that is just me. I'm sure others would say that is fine. As for the recipe saving; if you hit save as original, it is going to save that recipe with the changes you made to it. If you save as new, it is going to create another recipe with your changes, different from the original. So, there will be two, the original and the one with your changes. Hope that made sense! As for my cheat days, yes, it is sometimes hard to go back on plan on Mondays. It is usually just the first meal though and then I fall back into the swing of things.
@lynnkavanagh73613 күн бұрын
@ thanks for explaining the “save” method. I knew I was doing something wrong because there are a few recipes that I have listed multiple times in my recipe builder. So that brings up another question, is there a way to delete multiple copies of a recipe?

I am still trying to figure out how to delete them myself. I will let you know if I do!!
