New Pro Points..

Firstly, lets begin with a weigh in !!! I was down 1lb after the Christmas break which cheered me up no end! YAY! I'm now eating more consciously! go me!

AND ... the big swap has occured! We are now on the pro-points system... and it's a lot to take in ... even though the system remains the same, you know counting points.. and tracking ... everything that I've learned up to now has completely changed.. so things I automatically know as having 1pt or 3 pts may now have 2 or even 5 points instead... PLUS the amount per day has changed AND we get an extra 49 points a week as a bonus! Go figure! It's going to take some time to get used to it ... I think the key is to totally forget the old programme and not compare the two and just learn the new 'pro points system' as a completely new system... exciting stuff.. MASSIVE bonus is fruit is FREE!!! YAY! ... The principle of how it works is THIS system works on the benefits of the food you eat.. so you're not eating a 3pt snack that's actually full of additives and more of the foods with lower points will be lower in fat and higher in protein and fibre...



So the new pack looks like this ...





with an easy break down of popular items listed and pointed to ease you into the programme...



including a "typical" days food for someone on 29 pro points...



and a section on how your earned "bonus points" work into the programme...






complete with an eating out section...



great recipes...






which has a full listing of foods and their pro-point value...



The new and improved tracker...



A seriously useless gadget for working out how many pro points are in foods with labels.. best to invest in a new calculator next week!



Lots of reading for Doll to do! I was sent a great recipe for banana ice cream which I'll post later and its 0pts and DELISH! Here's to the first week and getting closer to goal!

  1. Wow, your materials look incredibly different than the new Points Plus stuff we got here in the US. I knew Europe had a diff name & a lot of the info would be diff, but I didn't realize the colors & style would be such a change. Plus, you have that paper wheel. We were told we had to use a calculator or etools because they couldn't come up with a reliable/easy enough slider to use w the new plan. Wonder what the diff is there?
