 Well, good morning guys, I am currently sitting outside of the WW studio So that I can go in and get all of the details on the new program. It's early It was a drive, but it is so worth it. I can't wait to get all of the details and share that with you We're gonna be talking about the new programs I'm gonna go over some positives and negatives of each of the program options And also we're gonna talk a little bit about sustainability of the programs And then of course, I'll be letting you know what program I will be choosing to follow moving forward So if you want to hear all of the details about the new WW programs and The pros the cons the good the bad and the ugly just stay tuned Welcome back. I am home from the WW workshop and I have all of the details on the three new programs for you Yes, three new programs. So all the speculation the rumors all of that actually ended up being absolutely the reality So WW did come out with three new programs We have the blue program the green program and the purple program and I have my hands on The new Materials so this is the new way in booklet the book that talks all about the new programs and of course The weekly from this week, so I have all of the details to share with you guys about the new program So let's get into it So before we talk about the different colors and the different programs and what's involved in those different programs I want to first talk about a couple of other things in regards to this change with WW so over the course of the last few months, they have had five to six thousand test Subjects for these different programs. They allowed them to select the program They wanted to follow and they followed that program for the last few months and then they came together and shared their results So it is proven that none of the three programs produce faster weight loss results than another one So whether you do the blue the green or the purple your weight loss results are dependent on you working the program Not one of those three programs is going to produce faster results So that is good to know and secondly again This was test piloted by thousands of individuals in addition to that weight-watchers did a ton of Research and market analysis to come up with these programs. They did not want to steer away from these zero-point foods They did not want to steer away from the smart points base because that has worked So effectively for so many individuals in fact smart points has been around for at least a year to two years Prior to introducing freestyle. So this way of eating this smart points revolution of freestyle of Smart points has been around for several years and is proven to be effective But weight watchers wanted to give us options and let us choose the program that best fits us Nobody knows us better than we know ourselves So we're able to make an educated decision on the program that we want to follow Based on the information giving from WW and us knowing what program is going to work best for us So I want to dive into each of the different colors of programs And then at the end I'm going to share a few other bits of information that I received at my workshop So let's get started with the blue plan for all of you freestyle lovers out there No fear freestyle isn't going anywhere. The blue plan is in freestyle They've just changed the name to the blue plan. Nothing else about it has changed There are still over two hundred zero point foods your smart points or your points values are going to be exactly The same eggs are still zero start two vegetables are still zero Literally nothing has changed about the blue plan So if you have been doing freestyle the last couple of years and it is working for you And you are having success by all means continue on freestyle I love that WW didn't take that away because as you know in the past when they change programs They literally change programs They discard the old program and bring in a completely new way of eating a new program And they didn't do that this time because freestyle has been such a success for so many people So I love love love that WW did not do away with freestyle So I want to read to you right out of the booklet from WW what they said about the blue program So it says blue guides you towards a healthy list of foods that form the basis around healthy eating habits So if you are someone that struggles with the foods that you're choosing to eat the blue program is a great choice for you With a moderate smart points budget that you can spend on the other foods that you love You'll build meals around the 200 zero point foods So this doesn't mean eat only zero point foods, but build the basis of your meals around those And this includes fruits veggies lean proteins and that includes starchy veggies Corns peas and those types of things and then you can use your moderate smart points budget to fill the gaps with other things So literally you guys it is blue it is freestyle that hasn't changed at all So that is the first option the blue program So now the green program now the green program is reminiscent of smart points before freestyle So with the green program you're going to receive over 100 zero point foods You will receive a little larger daily smart points budget Because you are going to have to count things such as eggs and lean protein that were zero points on freestyle So it is very similar to the old smart points plan again before freestyle So if you are somebody who struggles on freestyle because maybe you overeat the zero point foods Or you eat too large of portions and your calories are above a deficit to lose weight Or maybe you're somebody that just for your own peace of mind in your program You just need to track everything in order for you to be successful You need to weigh measure and track everything that goes into your mouth with the exception of fruits and vegetables That is somebody that would benefit from being on the green program the old smart points program So again if you are somebody that feels the need to track everything in Order to be successful and see that scale move the green plan is definitely a good option for you with the green plan You won't get less than 30 smart points a day So on the blue plan you can have a minimum of 23 per day on the green plan You will never have less than 30 smart points a day because remember you are tracking everything Other than fruits and vegetables. Let's talk a little bit about the green plan as far as what? WW says the green plan is so I'm just going to read this again to you Green guides you towards a smaller list of foods that form the basis of healthy eating habits So very similar to the blue program with a sizeable smart points budget to spend on other foods that you love You'll build meals and snacks around the hundred plus zero point foods Including fruits and veggies and track all of the other foods that have the smart points value So that is the difference between the green and the blue less zero point foods and a heftier daily Smart points budget because you are having to literally track way and measure everything other than fruits and vegetables And the third option is the purple plan now the purple plan has over 300 300 zero point foods These include the 200 that you are allowed on the blue plan the hundred that you're allowed on the green plan and an Additional hundred zero point foods that include things such as whole grains So this means all of your whole grain vegetable based postas oatmeal whole rolled oats Not the little flavored packets those have points, but actual oatmeal out of the container It also includes rice like brown rice barley all of those have been added to the zero point food list as well as Potatoes so all of your white yellow red and sweet potatoes are now all zero points So before you panic and go oh my god, I could eat 75 potatoes in a sitting Let's talk a little bit about portion control So whether you are following the blue the green or the purple you still need to watch your portions I have preached since day one that zero points does not equal zero calories So you still need to watch your portions. Do you need to weigh and measure not unless you want to? Can you eyeball a little bit more on the blue and purple plan? Yes But you still need to be aware of your portion sizes So you can now have those whole grains and potatoes that are zero points on the purple plan the purple plan also gives you 16 smart points per day to use on other things So let's say that you want to have a baked potato and on that baked potato You want to put some light butter and some light sour cream the butter and the sour cream are going to have points And those will be deducted from those 16 smart points that you receive on a daily basis So that is pretty much how the purple plan works It is reminiscent of the old simply filling program not an exact Duplicate of that because there is no bread on this purple plan that is zero points on the old simply filling plan There were certain breads that you could have that you didn't have to count But on the new purple plan you have to count all of your breads They would play into those 16 smart points per day So the purple plan is geared towards those individuals that don't necessarily want to track Or maybe you want to track, but you don't so the purple plan allows you the freedom to just Mindfully eat the 300 zero point foods and use your 16 smart points daily to fill the gaps So that is the gist the overall of the purple plan So again, I want to go ahead and read you exactly what WW says here about the purple plan So it says purple guides you towards a long list of foods that form the basis of healthy eating So the same start as all of the other plans with a modest smart points budget that you can spend on other foods that you love You'll build meals around the 300 zero point foods that include fruits Veggies lean proteins whole grains Potatoes, and then of course you would track all of the other foods that aren't included on the 300 Point food list so that's the gist of purple It definitely guides you towards when you are eating carbohydrates To choose whole grains are healthier versions of the carbohydrates because white rice isn't zero points But brown rice is so those are the types of things that the purple plan is going to guide you towards It's going to definitely push you in the direction of the healthy foods But it's giving you the freedom to eat potatoes and whole grains and count those as zero points So those are the three programs that you now have the option to choose from now I want to give you a few tips tricks little tidbits of information that we talked about at my workshop So number one along with freestyle still being an option for you Every single plan whether you go blue green or purple is going to have weekly smart points It is going to have Rollovers and you are still going to be able to earn fit points also the wellness wins are staying So you will still earn wins for tracking your food weighing in attending your workshop all of the things that you earn wellness wins on Now you will continue to on the new program. So remember what no matter what color you choose You still have weekly points You still have the option for rollovers and you still have fit points that you can use as well So nothing has changed there I'm happy that they are still giving us weeklies because this girl right here loves her weeklies Now whether you use those or not they are there and they are available for you and also I'm happy they're keeping the wellness wins because I like earning free little WW things along the way just for doing the program I mean, how awesome is that free stuff for following the program? Number two is the assessment that we've all been hearing about that helps guide you to choosing the program That is best for you now the assessment is available to new members only so according to my leader You can only take the assessment as a new member and the reason for that is this and this is what she said quote-unquote We are current WW members. We know ourselves. We know our bodies We can pretty much figure out what plan is going to work for us So here's a really really really good example Let's say that you're thinking about the purple plan. Are you a big carb eater? Do you like your pasta? Do you like your rice? Do you like your oatmeal? Do you like all of the things potatoes that are zero smart points on the purple plan? Do you think that you may? Overeat those items if the answer to that question is yes, maybe the purple plan isn't right for you So that's what she means by we are current WW members We kind of have an idea what works for us and what doesn't work for us So maybe just thinking about you as an individual and what tempts you where your downfalls are on WW should help guide you in the direction of choosing the right plan for you Now on that same note, you have the option to change your plan WW ask that you give it two weeks So if you initially decide to stay on freestyle and then after two weeks You kind of are feeling the need for a change or maybe the green or the purple program or calling your name You can't simply go into the settings in your app and switch your program But give it a good go guys Give it a couple of weeks. Don't just flip-flop programs every other day or once a week really give the new program You're committing to a fair shape You're not going to know if that program works for you if you don't give it a fair shake So if you are a connect lover, there is going to be different groups for the different color plan So there'll be a group that talks about blue green and purple You can also use the hashtag blue hashtag green and hashtag purple to pin your posts to the corresponding boards So once you've selected the plan that you want to follow You should be able to connect with other members on connect and get all of the information on the plan that you've chosen You can of course check out all of the connect boards on the other plans But connect is also going to be tailored to fit each of the different colors of plans Also when the app rolls over in updates, which is not until Monday So it does not actually update the app to take into effect the new programs until Monday November 11th Your app will default to the blue program So it will automatically pull up blue if you want to switch to the green or the purple You'll just go into the settings or the person on your app And you'll change the program to the one that you want to follow whether that be the purple or the green So again your app when it updates is going to default to blue and here's another couple things about the app So the connect groups the default to the blue plan and also Whatever recipes you have put into the recipe builder so things that you've created Should and I want to stress the word should because my leader stressed that word It should Recalculate those points based on the color of program that you selected So that is the hope that is what ww has set up in the app But don't panic if it doesn't because it's it hasn't been tested yet because the app hasn't actually rolled over into Our recipes that we've created yet So the recipes you've created in the builder should move over points-wise to the program that you select Also when you go to search for recipes on the WW app if you are on the purple plan the recipes will have the points Associated on the purple plan if you're on the green plan the recipes would calculate on the green plan So all of the pieces of the WW app should tailor Towards the color of program that you've chosen connect the recipes the recipe builders and the actual color Where you trap will all correspond with the color of program you've selected now What if you're an online only member? What the heck? How are you gonna get this information? So all of the literature online should update on November 11th Monday along with the app now WW apparently there was an uproar from the online members that they weren't actually gonna receive all of the new paperwork So WW said feel free to stop by your local workshop and attend a meeting for free You cannot weigh in but you can actually go to the meeting and you can pick up the literature at no charge They say that November 16th is the day that they've designated for all of the online members to go to a workshop Not weigh in remember You cannot weigh in collect all of your new literature and sit in on the workshop But I did chat with WW on the app today And she said that you could go to any workshop as an online member and sit in not weigh in and collect your new literature So I would recommend checking out the next available workshop in your area Now if you don't have workshops in your area again, all of the literature online should update to the new Program materials and you should be able to get that same information online as you would in a workshop They're just allowing you the opportunity to attend a workshop for free just to sit in and ask your questions and kind of Feed off of the other members that actually attend the workshops So there's a couple of things that I want to show you guys in the actual literature from WW So no matter what plan you select to follow There is a five-day menu for every plan So it really just kind of helps jumpstart your new plan if it is new to you It's going to give you an entire menu for five days that you can follow. It gives you the smart points It gives you the food it literally sets you up for complete success Also in the new literature for every color group no matter what color it is that you select There is a cardboard a much thicker card stock piece of your literature that looks like this and this is the zero point food list For each color so see how it says blue zero point foods this actually folds right down the middle here and You can take it with you So it's basically a pocket guide that you can take with you and there is one for every color the blue the purple and the green So it's nice that they gave us that literature and that cute pocket guide that we can take with us So you can just double check yourself especially if you're following a new program Not the green not the blue, but you're following the green or the purple You'll have that list handy that you can just double check yourself before you go to track a food as zero point So I love that So there is just a handful of amazing information in this book One thing about this book that I'm really happy that they brought back that they haven't had for a while And actually I haven't seen it for quite a while and that's this So this is the portion estimator. Do you guys remember this? Do you remember this from back in the day? This tells you by your hand What portions are so it tells you the ounces in your fist the ounces in a fingertip? I love this So I'm glad that they decided to bring this back and put it back into the literature Really smart move WW and the last thing that I want to touch on is something that is actually in this book That I find extremely interesting and it is something that has been a question The entire time that freestyle has been around. It's been a question. I've addressed on videos It's something I've been saying over and over and that is about the zero point foods So I want to read the question answer right here out of this book for you The question is can I eat as many zero point foods as I want? There's zero points, right? So we should be able to eat as many as we want So let me read you what WW says zero point foods don't need to be measured or trapped But that doesn't mean they are all you can eat. So remember that you guys they're not all you can eat just because they're zero points Sure, you could boil a dozen eggs and eat them in front of the TV, but you probably won't feel that good That's for sure Eating any food even zero point foods to extremes could make you gain weight, right? Because zero points doesn't equal zero calories It's all about balance and becoming mindful of what you're eating. So that's the takeaway from Freestyle that's the takeaway from the zero point foods. Let your weight be your guide Your weight will tell you if you are overeating your weight will tell you what you did You may not track your food friends, but your body tracks your food Let your weight be the guide to the zero point foods. Let your weight be the guide to the program that you select I'm so grateful that WW allows us to switch programs. We can move from the blue to the green to the purple We can find by trial and error which program works best for us I'm also so thankful that WW did not take away freestyle because I know that freestyle has been a huge success for so Many people I also know that there's been a large handful of people that haven't been Successful on freestyle and unfortunately, I am one of those people. I haven't quite pinpointed why I haven't been successful On freestyle. I think the main thing for me is that I am one of those people that needs to track everything I need to weigh measure and track it all Otherwise, I still feel like I overeat. I may have chicken at zero points But then I'll compensate with something pointed that maybe I don't want or that I don't need or maybe I'm I Just want to eat it because I have points available I find myself doing that as well and that I think is one of the main things that has caused me to struggle on freestyle And the other things are self-induced of course, but I haven't quite pinpointed Freestyle and why it hasn't worked for me But I'm so internally grateful that I have the option now to pick a program that I feel is going to work better for me So with that being said I want to share with all of you what program I am selecting and now That's the subject to change. I may change my mind I don't know that I will but I may change my mind and you know what? I may do a little video series and try another plan for a couple of weeks and see what the results are I may do that But the plan that I have selected that I am going to change my app over to as of tomorrow Monday, November 11th is I am going green. I am going to the green plan I am excited about it knowing myself and knowing that I am one of those people that needs to weigh measure and track everything The green plan Is a perfect fit for me Not to mention I did do smart points before freestyle was brought out and was successful on smart points I was extremely successful on the very old plan back in like 2003 4 and 5 Which was one of the plans that you tracked everything. You didn't even get free fruits and vegetables All right, I'm sorry. You got vegetables, but not fruit So I'm going green. I am so incredibly Excited to go green you guys I really in my heart of hearts feel that this is the best program choice for me. I can't wait to see my success I seriously can't wait. I'm excited to learn the new program I'm excited to work my recipes around that new program And I'm excited to track everything as weird as that sounds. I am excited to track everything I know I know that I'm going to be more successful And with that I've gotten a lot of questions from you guys about how is this new Three options of programs going to affect youtube. That's a great question you guys And I think all of us youtubers out there on ww are kind of wondering the same thing Because there will be different point values based on the color of programs So I am going to be doing the green program So my recipes that I show you in meal prep the recipes that I show you in like my comfort food videos My what I eat in a day my crock pot series low carb. They are all going to be calculated under the green plan However, the recipe Is always linked in the description box All you have to do if you follow blue or purple is plug that recipe into the recipe builder And you can determine what the smart points are on blue and on purple Unfortunately for me It would be a lot of work to keep switching my app through the different colors of programs to determine the smart points And I think honestly it makes sense for me and for other youtubers to share the points of the program We're following if you are going to be following blue or purple I hope you stick around and I hope that you are still here for my channel Here for my recipes because it is so easy to figure out what smart points my recipes are for you On the other plans by simply putting them into the recipe builder So that's my plan moving forward team green all the way. I can't wait I also wanted to let you guys know that I have done my meal prep for this upcoming week And I did it as freestyle. I will be recalculating the points into the green plan And I will be tracking it that way starting next week. All of my recipes Will be under the green points So my meal prep and the recipes that I'm showing you will be under the green plan So that's it guys. I hope you are as excited as I am about the new changes I do have to say that the consensus in my workshop this morning I would say was 98 percent extremely Excited about the changes the other two percent wasn't not excited They were just a little nervous about the changes But overall people are thrilled that we have options that we can tailor our weight loss program to what works best for us So thank you so much for watching if you are new and this is your first video on my channel I would love it if you would take a moment and hit that little subscribe button And that little bell so you're notified every time I upload Please thumbs up this video.
