Old WW Exchange Program?

  • Does anyone have a copy of the old, original, WW exchange program (1972)? I understand that it was much lower in carbs than the current program.
  • I wouldn't say it was lower in carbs but it was more strict in structure. However if you follow one of the PointsPies for W/W you have the structure you need for balanced or higher protein or higher carb:

    Balanced (under 250 pounds)

    Complex Carbs/Grain Based Foods – 8-9 points a day
    Protein-rich Foods – 6-7 points a day
    Fruits and Veggies – 0-3 points a day
    Fats, added sugars – 2-3 points a day
    Milk and Milk Products – 4-6 points a day

    20-28 points a day

    Higher Protein (under 250 pounds)

    Complex Carbs/Grain Based Foods – 5-6 points a day
    Protein-rich Foods – 9-11 points a day
    Fruits and Veggies – 0-1 points a day
    Fats, added sugars – 2-4 points a day
    Milk and Milk Products – 4-6 points a day

    20-28 points a day

    Higher Carb (under 250 pounds)

    Complex Carbs/Grain Based Foods – 9-10 points a day
    Protein-rich Foods – 5-7 points a day
    Fruits and Veggies – 1-3 points a day
    Fats, added sugars – 1-2 points a day
    Milk and Milk Products – 4-6 points a day

    20-28 points a day

    and

    Balanced (over 250 pounds)

    Complex Carbs/Grain Based Foods – 11 points a day
    Protein-rich Foods – 10 points a day
    Fruits and Veggies – 3-4 points a day
    Fats, added sugars – 2-3 points a day
    Milk and Milk Products – 4-6 points a day

    30-34 points a day

    Higher Protein (over 250 pounds)

    Complex Carbs/Grain Based Foods – 8 points a day
    Protein-rich Foods – 12 points a day
    Fruits and Veggies – 2-3 points a day
    Fats, added sugars – 4-5 points a day

    30-34 points a day

    Higher Carb (over 250 pounds)

    Complex Carbs/Grain Based Foods – 13 points a day
    Protein-rich Foods – 8 points a day
    Fruits and Veggies – 2-4 points a day

  • thanks for the information
    It's very helpful.

    I was able to locate the old, original plan at www.dottisweightlosszone.com if anyone else would like it or would like to compare.
