Weight watch is a major concern for many of us, especially in this after-holidays period, when we know we’ve made some food excesses, and when we just see that our clothes have become too tight to be comfortable. It’s now time to switch from all those meat-rich meals to lighter ones such as vegetarian lasagna or spinach artichoke dip, not only to shed those few pounds that bother us, but also to ease our digestion.
One of the most searched nutrition programs these days is Weight Watchers. Nearly 35 years after the UK launch, Weight Watchers launched a points-based diet which allows you to eat any of your favourite foods, points being given to each food in accordance with their calories and saturated fat content.
In case you don’t feel like going for Free Weight Loss Coaching, here are a few examples of food dishes, with their cooking procedure, preparation time and the number of Weight Watcher Points as per the Weight Watchers website:
Curried butternut squash soup – 0 points
Pumpkin, ginger and apple soup – 0 points
Porridge with raspberries and golden syrup – 4.5 points
Chicken drumsticks and chips – 4 points
Chicken in creamy Pernod sauce with rosemary roast potatoes – 9 points
Sweet and sour prawns – 6 points
Smoked salmon canapes – 0.5 points
Vegetable lasagne – 3 points
Lamb Rogan Josh – 22 points
Red onion and rosemary foccacia – 2.5 points
Nectarine and raspberry jelly – 0.5 points
Banana berry smoothie – 3.5 points
Lychee Martini – 2.5 points
All above mentioned recipes are easy to prepare, and you can find the list of ingredients, the cooking time and procedure by clicking on reach recipe.

Weight Watchers is fantastic, could you please send me a full detailed list of how many point per item eg a teaspoon of margarine or one slice of bread for example please, so that i have total control of my eating plan. Thanking you Karel vd Merwe
Hi Karel, thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I don’t have that detailed info, and it is not available on the Weight Watchers website, either. All the recipes I’ve mentioned in my article are taken from the free section of their website. I’m not a paying member, so I don’t have access to such details.
