![]() That's why I'm leery of the newer WW system, with the colors and whatever, it's even less transparent than the late 90s-early aughts "flex points" system, and the way they calculated your points budget was already pretty opaque. And why would they do that? If you pay for their program, lose the weight, go back to how you used to eat (because you didn't learn anything about nutrition), and gain it back, they can get more money out of you when you come back to try losing it again. They sell the concept of weight loss as a temporary thing you do for X amount of time until your body is an acceptable size, without ever following through and showing you how to transition from loss to maintenance. My thing is, WW and all of the other name-brand weight loss solutions, they don't teach you anything about how to actually eat and maintain your weight loss. ![]() All I remember is that we got a "points calculator" tool at one of the meetings, it was a little paper doohickey where you turned the dials to the amounts of various macronutrients in a food (fiber did enter into it but I don't remember exactly how), and it would spit out a points value for it. I don't remember anything about how that worked, but I think it was basically calorie cycling? Like you had X points per day plus Y "flex" points that you could use throughout the week to add a couple of points to your daily allotment if you wanted. My experience with WW was in the early aughts, before all these colors and "customized plans" and stuff - IIRC "Flex" points were the hot new thing around the time I did it.
