2023 UPDATE! This video was filmed back on the old Weight Watchers program with the colors, so points may be different now. For my new 2023 video with updated points and calories, check out my newest WW food favs here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/apjJfmB7idmbh68 PLEASE NOTE!!! I put a picture of processed foods in the thumbnail so this video would not appeal to anyone who is more of a clean eater. If you eat 100% clean, this video will not appeal to you. I strive to keep my diet 80% whole foods - lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, veggies, healthy fats, etc. However, as I have been making my transition to healthier eating, these are some things that have assisted me in making a little better choice than I would have previously. This is what works for me as I transition to a healthier lifestyle, but it is surely not all I eat or what I eat on a regular basis. These are alternatives for those who are already eating similar processed items, but it's definitely not meant to say that this is all you should eat! You have to do what works for you! :) Sorry about the loud intro and the lighting! Not sure why this video came out so dark. 2022 Update!

And just starting back now, it is pretty difficult for me to get into meal planning and taking advantage of the low points foods to make it interesting and not going back to my old "plain chicken breast - rice - broccoli type meal. You rock!

Walmart has powdered peanut butter which is about half the price of the brand name, and a even a few less calories. For the popcorn, try the Butter Spritzer from Kernel Seasonings (the same brand as the cheddar powder), it doesn’t make the popcorn soggy and the salt or seasonings stick really well. Another tip for the popcorn: order “mushroom” popcorn kernels, they pop up much bigger for the same calories per ounce.

Lentils, hamburger, onions and tomatoes cooked together. That is awesome too. I saw a recipe somewhere online. Blackbean brownies. Never had them, but I love black beans. The best thing I have realized on how to lose weight. Eat what you love and make it healthy. Shut off the television, radio or any other distraction. Be mindful of what you're eating, take your time, relax and realize when you're satisfied and then stop. If you don't want to waste food. Save it. Then go for a walk or something.

I have gained weight from menopause. I have no clue which plan to do to lose this weight. Any information you can give me would help me so much. Today is my first time on your channel and I love it. Thank you!
@PlanningUsHealthy3 жыл бұрын
Hi there! Welcome!! 😀 Thank you so much!! I hear you about menopause. I went through it a few years back - still deal with some things, but not as bad. I will be 50 this year, so I was young to go through it. It definitely affects the speed of weight loss, for sure! When I was in my 30s, I could lose weight so fast. Now it's like a turtle. But I've decided to just focus on my healthy habits and not worry about the number on the scale. It will all even out eventually. As far as the different colored plans, when you sign up, there's a questionnaire you take that will ask you about your preferences and then give a suggestion at what plan you would benefit from. The purple plan has a lot more zero-point foods but then you get less points for the other choices. Green is where you pretty much just count everything. I compare purple and green like purple is for those who really want to focus on healthy eating, whereas green is more about just eating whatever points fit in your day. Blue is the in between (that's the one I've always done). You still get quite a few zero-point foods, but also have additional points for other options. There's nothing that says you have to stick with a certain color. If you find it doesn't work for you after a couple weeks, you can switch to something else. But they just suggest you give your body time to adjust. I hope that was a little bit helpful. I'm actually counting calories at the moment due to an ulcerative colitis flare I'm having, but I'll more than likely be going back to counting points once I'm back in remission. :)
