Weight Watchers advertises that you can eat what you want on their program and still lose weight. This is true. As long as you stay within your daily points allowance, no food is off limits. Of course, the problem is that many foods that you have enjoyed in the past may be very high in points, so if you eat them, you cannot eat very much.

But the people at Weight Watchers have included in their program a feature that can help keep you from feeling deprived of your favorite foods. In addition to your daily points allowance, you are also given 35 weekly points that you can use (or not use) however you wish, without any guilt whatsoever. You can spread these points throughout the week if you want a few extra points each day, or you can use them all at one meal if you want.

You can also choose not to use them if you wish to lose weight at a faster pace, and can get along fine without them.

I usually save my weekly points for either Saturday or Sunday when I eat pretty much whatever I want for one meal. 35 points is a lot of points. You obviously don’t want to go completely wild. But with 35 points you can eat that pizza or big burger and fries, or whatever else you have been craving and still have points to spare. I do still try to eat a salad or other vegetable with this meal and watch that I don’t go over 35 points. But the weekly points do help keep me from feeling deprived and help me to stay on the plan.
