What was the Weight Watchers core plan? ›

On the Core Plan, you control calories by focusing your eating on a list of wholesome, nutritious foods. Since the foods on the list were carefully selected to support weight loss, there's no need to keep track of how much or which foods you eat.

Briefly, the Premium plan offers workshops and weekly behavioral change tips that aren't included in the Core plan. WW also offers a 30-day free trial, so you can try it out before committing to a longer membership.

Clarkson said the medication she is on, which she said is not Ozempic, is one "that aids in helping break down the sugar, which obviously my body doesn't do well."

Did Oprah take Ozempic? ›

Last December, the former TV host revealed that she had been taking weight-loss medication, although she declined to name which one. At the time, she said that the prevalence of drugs like Ozempic “feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for.”

Weightwatchers offers a lifestyle guidance program for those already taking anti-obesity meds prescribed from their own doctor. WeightWatchers members may also be eligible to receive Ozempic and Rybelsus and other Type 2 diabetes drugs often prescribed off label to treat obesity.

Weight loss medication isn't the only tool in Oprah's kit: She's also an avid exerciser. During her weight loss special, she told viewers that she hikes three to five miles per day and also does "weight resistance training.” Back in 2017, she told The Hollywood Reporter that she hits her home gym soon after waking up.

The original Weight Watchers dietary plan in the 1960s was roughly based on the "Prudent Diet", developed by Dr. Norman Jolliffe at the New York City Board of Health. It was based around lean meat, fish, skim milk, and fruits and vegetables, and it banned alcohol, sweets, and fatty foods.

In 1998, Weight Watchers introduced the first points system – '1,2,3 Success Points Plan'. While foods were assigned a points value, a core food plan was still provided to members, with the points only used as a substitute for the diet exchanges from the earlier programs.

Weight Watchers now has 3 different food plans to choose from: the blue plan, the green plan, and the purple plan. While they all follow the same basic formula of tracking your food intake throughout the day, they do offer slightly different SmartPoints and ZeroPoint foods.
