We understand that the start of a new year brings new motivation to focus on your own health and well-being, and Texas Children’s is committed to supporting you in achieving your wellness goals. Since May 2015, more than 1,000 employees have taken advantage of our partnership with Weight Watchers. There are at-work lunchtime meetings at three Texas Children’s locations: Main Campus, The Woodlands, and Health Plan. Now, we are incredibly excited to highlight a new program, Weight Watchers Freestyle.
How does Weight Watchers Freestyle work?
WW Freestyle makes deciding what to eat much easier, freeing you to focus on what really matters in your weight-loss journey: nourishing your whole self and doing more of the things that you enjoy. The program is personalized based on your age, height, weight and gender to ensure you receive sufficient energy and nutrients.
The core of the program is based on the latest nutritional science and Weight Watchers has kept the SmartPoints system. Every food and drink is still on the menu. Now, more than 200 foods have a SmartPoints value of 0, including some surprises like chicken, fish, eggs, corn, beans and more! The best part is that zero-point foods don’t need to be tracked or measured, so you can spend less time counting and more time enjoying your food and your life.
WW Freestyle also introduces rollover points. For many people, Mondays are pretty different from Saturdays when it comes to eating. Rollovers give you flexibility to use fewer SmartPoints values one day and have up to four extra points rolled over into your bank for the days you need them the most.
