There are Weight Watchers changes<\/strong> coming in late 2022 and early 2023! I know we just had a change but there is more exciting new changes on the horizon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weight Watchers is always working behind the scenes to find the best way to keep users happy while also supplying a framework that can guide them toward a lifetime of health. Changes happen in order to keep the plans relevant and to incorporate new findings and methods as they are studied and trialed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Weight Watchers Changing in 2022?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are some new Weight Watchers changes coming likely in 2022\/2023! Every few years Weight Watchers changes the way their programs run and operate. We just had a change but they are already making plans to shift to a new system! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These changes are not just to keep up with the times but also to apply new methods, science, and methods that have been studied and proven to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weight Watchers is always working to stay up to date and useful to their client which is likely why they have been around since 1963! That\u2019s a lot of years of helping people live their healthiest lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that Weight Watchers is going to be going back to a system that uses the same point values for everyone (except diabetics who will still have their own plan) you can read all about the patent for the new system here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When do the plans change?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The plans will begin rolling out around November 22, 2022 and some users are already seeing changes in their apps and programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time 2023 rolls around all users and new users should expect to have encountered the new changes and be managing their programs with these new and exciting changes.<\/p>\n\n\n

Why is Weight Watchers Changing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whenever Weight Watchers changes plans there\u2019s always clinical trials happening beforehand which is the situation right now. That is what is leading everyone to these announcements about the changes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with regular plan changes that will shift us back to a platform that uses the same point values no matter who the user is or what their preferences are. They\u2019re also reportedly designing plans that will work specifically for people with diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing that is getting a change and a facelift is the Weight Watchers snack lines and their processed foods or \u201cconvenience food\u201d items. While these aren\u2019t the healthiest option they are certainly better than junk food when you are pressed for time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be interesting to see if the new foods in their line will be healthier options or just more of the same types of snacking foods that are rebranded for the new Weight Watchers system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Weight Watchers Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s right, the new plan doesn’t have a title yet…I\u2019m excited to see what this will mean for individual users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been some changes already to the app which is great. There are challenges for fitness, meditation, tracking, and so much more. It has made the app more user friendly and it encourages users to actually want to use the app. Hopefully the changes and upgrades will only continue to add value to the program as these new Weight Watchers changes roll out.<\/p>\n\n\n

Will there still be meetings for Weight Watchers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some long time users for Weight Watchers are asking about in person meetings. The truth is that 90% or more members of Weight Watchers are digital. They don\u2019t actually go to in person meetings and during the pandemic most of those meetings went digital anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If, like me, you are a digital member only these days, nothing will really change for you in terms of how you access content and track your progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the free foods?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new plan will likely make these foods and groups zero point foods. You’ll notice that the more starchy vegetables are missing from that list. Some plans on the current program make those types of foods zero points but that hasn’t been working out great for a lot of users which is likely why they’re being removed from the plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
