3 myths—and the truth!—about our program

Rumors love to fly. So we’re here to separate fact from fiction.

Over the years, we’ve gotten a lot of questions about our program. “Do you have to eat diet food?” (Nope.) “Isn’t it just calorie counting?” (Nope.) Before we get to the hard facts, here’s a refresher: Our proven program has been simplified and is now easier to navigate. It’s still based on our exclusive Points® system, which takes a food’s most important nutritional data and turns it into a single, easy-to-understand number: the Points value.

When you rejoin and get your customized plan, you’ll get an all-new Points Budget to spend each day (like a financial budget) on the foods you love. Your Budget becomes even more customized as you track activity, adding weekly Points to ensure it adjusts to your activity levels and you have enough to eat.

Now let’s dig into the top three myths we’ve heard about our program—plus the real deal.
