Make the most of ZeroPoint foods

What's not to love about ZeroPoint™ foods? Not only are they filling, but they can encourage you to experiment in the kitchen and leave you more room in your daily Budget to enjoy foods with SmartPoints® values. If you're still wondering how to utilize these foods while losing weight, we've got some helpful tips and tricks:

1. Avoid extremes.
Just because they're less likely to be overeaten doesn't mean ZeroPoint foods are "all you can eat." What you’ve learned
about healthy eating doesn’t get thrown out the window just because there are more foods worth 0 SmartPoints values.

2. Look to fruits and veggies as a guide.
You might remember what it was like when fruits and veggies became 0 SmartPoints. You learned how to navigate your Budget
with them, making adjustments that worked best for you, and discovered how not to overeat them, right? (Those fruits and
veggies are still zero Points—and now we’ve added corn, peas, beans, and lentils to multiply your options.)

3. Remember, you don’t need to weigh, measure, or track ZeroPoint foods.
Our research indicates that members were able to eat ZeroPoint foods without tracking or measuring and still lose weight successfully. Use the time you’ve saved on enjoying something fun instead.

4. Use the scale for feedback.
It’s OK if you don’t find the perfect balance of foods with and without SmartPoints right away. Be patient with yourself
and the process, and let your weight loss be your guide, making changes to your choices as needed on the way.

5. Don’t only rely on ZeroPoint foods.
Eating only foods on a list sounds like a d-i-e-t. Remember, there’s room for all foods on WW! Enjoy variety and make the flexibility of the program work for you.
