What You Should Know: 

– WeightWatchers (WW) has announced the launch of its innovative next-generation weight management program, featuring advanced technology, personalized support, and expanded clinical solutions to help members achieve their health goals.

– The next-generation program demonstrates WeightWatchers’ ongoing commitment to innovation and providing members with the tools and support they need to achieve their weight health goals. 

A Holistic Approach to Weight Loss

The new program combines the proven effectiveness of the WeightWatchers Points® program with cutting-edge technology and personalized guidance:

  • Personalized Nutrition Counseling: Members in the U.S. can now access virtual consultations with registered dietitians for tailored nutritional support, often covered by insurance.
  • Expanded ZeroPoint® Foods: Over 150 new ZeroPoint foods, including lean meats, oats, and starchy vegetables, have been added to the program, providing more flexibility and promoting healthier eating habits.
  • AI-Powered Food Scanner: Members can easily track their Points by taking a photo of their food, with the app using AI to identify ingredients, portions, and calculate Points instantly.
  • Recipe Analyzer: The app can now analyze recipes from any website and calculate Points, simplifying meal planning and tracking.
  • Macronutrient Insights: Members can now access detailed macronutrient information (protein, carbohydrates, fat, fiber, and sodium) to gain a deeper understanding of their nutritional intake.

Clinical Solutions and Medication Integration

WeightWatchers has also expanded its clinical solutions, offering access to compounded semaglutide and other weight-loss medications for eligible members. Research shows that combining these medications with the WeightWatchers program can lead to significantly greater weight loss than medication alone.

“We’re thrilled to deliver even greater freedom and flexibility to our community with this new program focused on elevated nutrition guidance and holistic weight management,” said Dr. Michelle Cardel, WeightWatchers Chief Nutrition Officer, PhD, MS, RD. “Our millions of members now have access to registered dietitians who can craft personalized meal plans and set tailored macronutrient targets – viewable right in the app – to align with their unique health goals, such as increased muscle mass. Coupled with over 350 ZeroPoint Foods that encourage healthier choices and accessible options, this program truly offers something for everyone.”
