Hi Deb. Welcome to 3FatChicks. I am not from Canada but am familiar with Weight Watchers. I googled and read about the new Canada Food Guide and it seems to be all about healthy foods and so is Weight Watchers. I think you should be able to eat in accordance with those guidelines and still follow WW points if that is the program you are following. It might be a little harder since the guidelines emphasize fresh foods and limiting processed foods, and you will have to go further to figure points. But it emphasizes fruits and vegetables and vegetable based protein. I just don't understand the limit on dairy products. The dairy industry in the US would not be in favor of that.
Maybe some other Canadian members will chime in and give their 2 cents.
Not from Canada. However, the upcoming program for WW is currently live in the UK. Basically a lot more foods are now zero point (of course, daily points are reduced to compensate). You can find out a lot about it on the WW UK site. It goes live in the US on 12/3. Not sure about Canada.
