The one they offer now allows too much food and doesn't work for many folks. There are complaints all over the internet about it. It seems to be a marketing ploy to try to give people what they want.
The deal with the SmartPoints plan placed emphasis on portion control, not denying any foods. I am now a lifetime member. I go to meetings when I'm home because the group leader I found is so much fun. But I use the old plan for maintenance. You can find the SmartPoints plan on itrackbites, an app for your phone.

I absolutely agree that weightwatchers has a very healthy plan that includes lots of vegetables and carefully sized protein portions and great limitations of fats and sugars. I have seen it work on family members and friends and on me.
