The Weight-Loss Skill:

Accurately and mindfully estimating PointsPlus® values for optimal weight-loss results

The Challenge:

One of the trickiest things about navigating parties and restaurants is accurately estimating the PointsPlus values of foods and beverages. This uncertainty can frustrate us and lead us into an uncomfortable gray area where we’re fudging PointsPlus values or not counting them at all.

The Points Plus Solution:

In this meeting, we will explore ways to feel comfortable making our best estimate when we’re unsure of the PointsPlus values of foods. In other words, we’ll learn the art of estimating mindfully. We’ll discuss how the portion-control skills we’re building every day on the Program can serve us well in such situations, along with how doing some prep work beforehand can make a big difference.
