You might want to look at this section's history - this has been discussed a lot, especially around the first of the year when they started the new program. There was also a recent poll taken of who was using what program. I like Winning Points better, but I seem to be in the minority. I like the week 6 booklet that discusses eating style (protein eater, carbo loader, etc.) and I like the week 10 booklet that discusses the 3 square approach versus mini-meals. As far as the 4 gram fiber cap goes, I don't think it's discouraging people from finding higher fiber foods - I think some people were eating very high fiber foods and then counting the points as very low or not counting any points at all for things. However, these items do have calories and some people were having difficulty losing. Those calories can make a lot of difference (again, for some people, not all) especially when you get closer to goal. At the start of the year, weight watcher's encouraged people who were doing just fine on 123 to keep on doing 123 - it was your choice and still is. Whatever works, right?
