New Program Boasts More Than 200 Zero Points® Foods Including Eggs, Seafood, Beans and Corn
NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, #weightwatchers International, Inc. (NYSE: WTW) launches #wwfreestyle, a new program that builds on the highly successful and effective SmartPoints® system by expanding zero Points foods from only fruits and vegetables to a list of more than 200 delicious, satisfying foods. In a six-month clinical trial, #wwfreestyle produced better weight loss results among participants than in clinical trials of previous #weightwatchers programs.
"When I first heard about it, I thought it was too good to be true – the fish, beans and corn in my favorite tacos are now zero Points!" said Oprah Winfrey. "I thought the #smartpoints system was livable before, but Freestyle brings an even greater level of ease."
As always with #weightwatchers, every #food and beverage is still on the menu, and now members have the freedom to eat many more foods without tracking or measuring, including eggs, corn, all fish, all seafood, skinless chicken breast, skinless turkey breast, non-fat plain yogurt, beans, peas, lentils and tofu. For even more flexibility, up to four unused #smartpoints each day automatically rollover for members to use as they wish on another day.
"For #people to successfully lose weight and live healthier, simplicity and flexibility are key," said Gary Foster, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, #weightwatchers International, Inc. "The new Freestyle program offers a wide range of zero Points foods that guide members toward a healthier pattern of eating. It gives #people the freedom and flexibility they need to make significant changes on and off the scale. The results are the best we've ever seen for a #weightwatchers program in a clinical trial."
In a six-month clinical trial of the #wwfreestyle program, conducted at the University of North Carolina Weight Research Lab, participants experienced significant benefits both on and off the scale1:
"We're constantly innovating to make our program even simpler and more livable," said Mindy Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer, #weightwatchers International, Inc. "Freestyle is simple, freeing, and it delivers results. It helps you live your best life."
