    The "zero point, I didn't get fat on... so I don't count x" mentality has led members to stop counting creamer, condiments, fruit and veggie smoothies, etc. So you have a bunch of plateaued and "turtle club" members (occasionally double track when I need structure). Now some are double tracking and losing again. Because everything counts, especially close to goal.

    Nearly all fruits and vegetables are zero smart points, meaning dieters can eat them endlessly. I have a hard time understanding/agreeing with this.

    I did WW many years ago, and with GREAT success. I really don't remember if the veggies and fruits were zero points, but even if they were, apparently that worked for me! I've never been one to eat ANYTHING "endlessly", and most certainly not fruits and veggies. But I certainly did increase my consumption of them while using the WW plan, and I learned to enjoy more of them. So that was a win for me. ;) What the person above stated, makes sense. The points allowance was quite low, so folks are more likely to take advantage of the so-called "free veggies and fruits". It definitely encourages more healthy eating. Can people overeat on them? Sure. And I expect that those people (not many I don't think) did not do well on WW.
