Dee's Weight Loss Podcast | How are you doing with the NEW WW CHANGES | LETS TALK 12/15/24

[@larkendelvie]

If you want to calculate calories take Protein grams * 4, Carb grams * 4 and Fat grams * 9 and add them all together. One thing I always do is weigh myself with my clothes on so that it matches closer if I have a doc visit that day. I also use an audio scale (yes it loudly announces my weight) because I have to write it down and especially at this time of year it's too dark to see the numbers (a nurse calls me weekly for the numbers and my blood pressure numbers). I just started WW (I was on it sometime back before 1990) and so far am enjoying the WW tracking app (I've tried other tracking apps that were too cumbersome). I signed up with the diabetes plan tracked for a day then switched it off to see what the difference was. End result is that you get more daily points on the diabetes plan but have more foods that cost points like fruit. I switched back to the diabetes plan as it makes more sense for me but thought the difference was interesting.

Yes that is a great tip for the calories

[@noreendriscoll-ro8zn]

I'm eating the same as I was but enjoying beef without guilt. Oatmeal is great too. I do eat potatoes often so that's a plus. But, honestly I still limit beef and potatoes and oatmeal too.

[@dishwithdee]

Me too

[@lindarenner8831]

My app didn't update my zero point food list until I logged out and then back in. VOILA!!

[@dishwithdee]

I have heard people say that as well

[@joannafoster3423]

If knowing calories is important to you, when you enter your food, scroll down and the calories are there but you have to add them all up. They don't keep a rolling total.

[@dishwithdee]

Very true!

I also am Italian . Desert was always a thing !!! I always plan for some kind of snack while watching tv

Girl we must be cousins

I wish I could have focused on the new plan this week. I broke my toe on Monday evening. So my week was doctors visit one day, and orthopedist another day. Life is hard. I gained 2 lbs. But my thinking is that the 2.9 I lost last week was a lot of water weight. This week, I also gave up soda. And I could not walk to the restroom easily, so I know I didn't drink enough. Sorry if TMI. Thanks for all you do, Dee!

[@dishwithdee]

you got this . New week to focus

[@carolhockenberry5867]

@dishwithdee Thank you!

[@FranGall-k8p]

Your cr.o.wheat loaf w/o the egg is the best. Mde i this am and loved it better.

[@dishwithdee]

@@FranGall-k8p i think i do too

[@pamelaparsons9046]

I’m an Italian girl too. I say gravy also and I agree about the pasta. Nothing can replace it but…..carb nada pasta is really very close.

[@dishwithdee]

I have to try that one

[@judyrivait2020]

Good vlog ❤

[@dishwithdee]

Thank you 😊

[@Melissa-mz3qu]

Am I understanding the macros information correctly. So....the app is now tracking macros but it doesn't tell you what you should be aiming for. So, these numbers mean nothing to me. After some digging - it looks like you have to make an appointment through the clinic to find out your "target macros". Is this correcf??

[@dishwithdee]

yes you are correct . Soon they will launch where you can make an appointment with a dietitian (extra cost )

[@joannafoster3423]

Will WW have a nutritionist or dietician? Big difference between the two. I wouldn't think insurance would cover a nutritionist.

[@dishwithdee]

I believe its a dietician

[@jamienovak7034]

Is healthi looking at changing like weight watchers???

[@dishwithdee]

I have not heard anything

[@gailtreloar8984]

How much does 1/2 cup of potatoes weight?

[@dishwithdee]

I only weigh in grams so I can't really say
