  • It's time for my third annual video sharing low-point food items on Weight Watchers! I've got 50 items to share with you this year. These items are low-point options to help to lose weight or maintain weight. I'm sharing points and calories, but PLEASE double-check your points and calories. All brands are different and I could also be incorrect on some things. If I catch an error, I'll pin it in the comments. This is NOT for those following clean eating. I follow the 80/20 rule and believe in everything in moderation. Thanks so much for watching! I hope you enjoy this video. :)

    You can also make great chips from the Joseph's lavish. Just cut one into rectangle-shaped chips and place on baking sheet, spray very lightly with cooking spray, lightly sprinkle with salt if desired, then place in 350 degree oven for 5-8 minutes, depending on your oven. Watch carefully, they can burn easily. Store in airtight container. Delicious!

    Zero point yogurt bar: blend up the fat free yogurt with fruit of your choice (I like strawberry) and freeze. If you add cocoa powder for chocolate strawberry yogurtsicle, it’s one point.

    Just as a side note, we Canadians do not call ham bacon. We have no idea from where that originated. Bacon up here is the same stuff you folks call bacon.

    • @PlanningUsHealthy
      @PlanningUsHealthy  Рік тому +1

      I agree! I grew up 10 minutes from the Canadian border and never knew why it was called that. Someone once told me that American bacon comes from the belly and Canadian bacon comes from the back (sometimes referred to as back bacon), and that the back bacon originally was imported from Toronto to New York, so it became known as Canadian bacon. Not sure how true that is though.

    Depending where you are if you’re in the US, Kroger goes by other names. Here in AZ it’s Fry’s, when we were in Cali it was Ralph’s, other places it’s Smitty’s, and so on, so you may have one near you after all.

    CORRECTIONS: The garlic hummus is only 1 point for 2 Tbsp 😋 Also, the boxed pudding is 1 point per serving or 3 points for the entire box. All brands are different though, so always double-check the points in your tracker.
    Also, I said I like to keep the canned potatoes in the fridge - I meant the pantry. 😉

      Thanks so much! I know what you mean! It's kind of a long story of my weight loss journey. But as of right now, I'm down 35 pounds. I lost 93 back 20 years ago but gained it back (I was in my 30s and didn't learn anything). I started WW online in 2019 and lost about 50 pounds and then Covid hit and I ended up gaining back about 20 pounds over the next few years. I've gotten back on track this year and am now back at about 35 pounds down total. It's been a journey, but I'm now learning to just take things slow and steady and treat it like a lifestyle and not a diet. :)

    • @PlanningUsHealthy
      @PlanningUsHealthy  Рік тому

      I would agree with your statement about the Aldi ones being more tart. I like both, but prefer the flavor of the Dannon. I believe the protein drinks are in the same area as the yogurt - I ordered them online so I'm not 100% sure. They were cold when I got them, so I'm sure they're with the yogurt.

    Some great items and ideas.
    I love to stir in a spoonful of fat-free cottage cheese, fat-free Greek yogurt, ricotta, goat cheese, laughing cow cheese or hummus into my eggs. Just a spoonful or 1 wedge of laughing cow. They all add a creaminess, flavor and make my eggs extra fluffy. For most of them it also adds extra protein.
    I've also stirred in some spinach dip into my eggs, not always the healthiest option, but just a spoonful adds lots of flavor and changes up my eggs. I eat eggs pretty much every day, so anything to help change it up a little.
    For salad dressing: hummus mixed with fat-free plain yogurt or cottage cheese and I'll mix it in a food processor to make it smooth. I've also used silken tofu and made my own homemade dressing.
    Caesar
    1 block silken tofu
    1 Tbs Dijon mustard
    1 Tbs capers
    1/2-1 tsp lemon juice
    Garlic powder or minced garlic to taste
    Onion powder
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Nutritional yeast
    Blend in a food processor until smooth. So good.
    Also add any powder dip mixes with the silken tofu. I did a homemade onion dip
    Onion dip
    1 block silken tofu
    1 medium onion, carmelized in non-stick spray.
    Chives, fresh or dried
    Fresh green onions
    Onion powder
    Pinch celery salt
    Pinch garlic powder
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Carmelize the onions in non-stick spray over medium low heat. It takes time but us worth it. Once cooked, allow to cool slightly. Everything goes into a blender or food processor until smooth.
    My mom is not a tofu fan and it shocked her that I made this dip with tofu

    Enjoyed your video and got some new things to try. I discovered this not long ago at Walmart for popcorn. It's Kernel Seasons Movie Theater Butter Flavored Spritzer and it zero points and helps the popcorn seasoning you mentioned stick. Also I like the idea of the frozen cholate peanut butter rice cakes. My daughter show this for a rice cake dessert. You use a chocolate rice cake spread cool whip on it and top with cut up strawberries. I think it is 3 points and good!

    I’m not sure brown rice is that much better for you than white rice. So I always go for white rice because the texture is so much better.

    • @PlanningUsHealthy
      @PlanningUsHealthy  Рік тому

      The brown rice has whole grains in it and isn't as refined as white. But I don't care for it on its own like I do white rice. I usually use brown in recipes or mixed with something. I eat white rice probably just as much as brown. I also have ulcerative colitis, so there are times I can only eat white rice anyway. You're so right - the texture of the white rice is so much better.

    How many points do you add for blended fruit for the fruit smoothie?

    • @PlanningUsHealthy
      @PlanningUsHealthy  Рік тому +1

      Are you referring to the Dannon light and fit yogurt smoothie? If so, it's only 1 point as scanned, meaning the 1 point is per WW and not additional points - most likely because it's a protein yogurt that's just blended into a smoothie texture as opposed to all fruit blended together without yogurt in it. Hope that makes sense.

    • @PlanningUsHealthy
      @PlanningUsHealthy  Рік тому

      That's strange how it's different for some. Mine scans at 2, but it gives the wrong nutrition facts (it says it's 90 cals but in fact it's really only 80). I figure it's close enough to 1 point so that's what I count it as anyway. LOL

    Hi there, as I have told you before I don't do Weight Watchers. It seems like a lot of work counting the points. But I enjoyed this video very much! Very good tips! Do you mind saying how much weight you have lost by doing Weight Watchers?

    • @PlanningUsHealthy

      Thanks so much, Sis!! It's a little bit of a round robin, I guess you could say. LOL I lost about 50 pounds in 2019. Then during 2020 and 2021 was when I got hit with Covid and a bad flare and ended up putting back on about 20 pounds over the 2 years (menopause, meds, and all sorts of things all at once). In 2022 I decided to put my app in "maintain" - at that point, I wanted to work on just maintaining my current weight and not losing, and it worked. I'm now back in weight loss mode and down 7 pounds since restarting weight loss mode at the beginning of the year.

      Hi there! I did a Q&A a loooong time ago, but it's probably time for another one. So, I have lost weight, but my story is a little different because I've gone through several journeys and I'm not always in weight loss mode. I started WW originally back in 2003 and lost 93 pounds. But I was in my 30s and really didn't learn much about nutrition so I gained the weight back. In 2019 I joined WW online and lost 50 pounds but then gained back about 25 over the next couple years due to Covid and other factors. I went through a period of intuitive eating as well, but determined that just wasn't for me yet. So now I'm back in weight loss mode and have been losing consistently for the past three months, but I'm also watching my macros and keeping track of my protein, and I'm not back to strength training three days a week. :) I think I may have to do a new Q&A soon! Thanks for the idea! :)

    Weight watchers doesn't address those of us on a low sodium diet. Honestly, I cut a ton of sodium out of my diet and I lost 30 pounds in 3 weeks. I buy 0 sodium products and make great italian meals and mexican meals. The only sodium is in the cheese. I know, I know you have to have sodium to live, but you can lower sodium to a healthy level.

    • @PlanningUsHealthy
      @PlanningUsHealthy  Рік тому

      That's great that you found something that works for you! Weight Watchers doesn't necessarily address low sodium, but I think it's definitely possible to follow it while on a low sodium diet once you know the foods that are lowest in sodium. Weight Watchers really pushes toward lean meats, fruits, veggies, legumes, etc. That's fantastic you've found what works for you! 😊
