I agree that Amber needs more than a phone app to get her out of the situation type deal she’s eaten herself into. I’m a lowly straight-sized small fat (or whatever those gargantuan cows call it) with about 20 pounds to lose, and WW is working fine for me.
Anyway, I’ve done WW a couple of times, and the program changes quite a bit from iteration to iteration.
The current version has a ton of zero point foods: all fruits, vegetables except for avocado, lean beef, skinless chicken, fish, shellfish, oats and plain potatoes are zero points. This is great news, right? Except they compensate for it by hammering you for sweets and processed foods.
For the record, I get 23 points a day, (plus a few more weekly and activity points blah blah who cares.)
Last night I had a New York strip steak, roasted Brussels sprouts, sautéed mushrooms, and a Manhattan for dinner. The steak was zero points, but the Manhattan was 10. So you can imagine how much drinking I don’t do.
I don’t think I saw the video where Amber claimed WW let her eat too much junk, but yeah, WW lets you eat junk. Hell, they used to manufacture and sell that junk at their meetings and even in normal supermarkets. But they pretty much don’t have meetings anymore. Most of us are using the app. And now that they’ve gone out of the snack cake business, you will get smacked for eating snack cakes or basically any crappy processed junk.
