A lot of folks ask that. They think that on WW you eat only WW food.
This is a misconception. On WW you can eat anything. You just have to track what you eat and not go over a certain number of "points." Points values (now called Points Plus) are assigned to various foods, and you get a daily points target, plus a weekly points slush fund. In addition, you can earn additional points by doing exercise. So you can eat a lot of food if you want to.
But there is no rule saying you have to eat frozen meals or other foods manufactured by WW. In fact, much as I like WW, I do not care for their foods.
The WW point system is designed to nudge you gently towards healthier eating habits. So if you are a volume eater (like me) you will start selecting low point high volume foods like fresh fruits and vegetables (zero points under the new system!) plus lean proteins, whole grains and fat free dairy. You will mostly stay away from deep fried or sugary foods--or learn to enjoy a very small portion as a treat.
I will be posting some recipes shortly.
