What is Pointalicious?

Pointalicious (adj): Any food that is simultaneously Weight Watchers Point friendly and amazingly palate friendly, stomach filling or otherwise incredibly pleasing. (For example, the tease to the right which will be featured soon).

Pointaliciousness can be highly subjective depending on personal food preferences, willingness to sacrifice, willingness to indulge, and potentially a willingness to subject others to your culinary choices. Hopefully, pointalicious foods are loved by both those on and off a diet program. Indeed, pointaliciousness can vary from person to person, day to day; however, generally it consists of a food item, with a Point value that seems to good to be true.

I've lost over 30 pounds on the Weight Watcher's Momentum Program...namely because I've discovered a great deal of pointalcious foods and meals that sustain my desires and hunger pretty easily.

Finding the Point values of food items is generally pretty easy...especially if you've been a member of Weight Watchers for any given amount of time. BUT, for the uninitated every food has a Points value based on a calculation of calories, fat and fiber. Actually, Weight Watchers says it the best.

This blog will explore my pointalicious findings including foods for every mealtime. It will include homemade, store-bought, and restaurants options for virtually any culinary craving.

Stay Tuned...but do not stay hungry.
