Why Would You Eat a Zero Point Day?
While Weight Watchers does not require or recommend that WW members eat zero points worth of food in a day, eating zero-point foods for a few days can give your weight loss a jump start.
This isn’t a long-term plan but rather a way to quickly get back on track with healthy eating. This is a wholesome plan because while it is low in points, it is not too low in calories. It’s filled with delicious, filling foods like vegetables, fruits, beans, and lean proteins.
This plan is also a great way to learn how to incorporate more zero-point foods (especially veggies and fruits) into your regular meals and recipes.
There might be some occasions when you want to eat a whole day of zero-points foods:
- You want to save points for a splurge meal or event. (Note: only four maximum points per day roll over into your flex points.)
- You need a kick start to get weight loss going.
- You’ve splurged and need a detox by eating all whole foods.
- You’ve hit a plateau and need to make a change.
- You want to learn how to incorporate healthier “free” foods into your regular diet.
- You want to reduce bloating. (Because the zero-point foods are all real, whole foods, the plan is low in sodium.)
If you are following the old WW color plans, here is a list of 100 zero point foods on Green. Click here for a printable list of the 200 zero point foods on Blue. Click here for a printable list of the 300 zero point foods on Purple.

Helpful Tips to Use the 3 Day Zero Point Meal Plan to Lose Weight
We created this WW Zero Point Meal Plan for only 3 days (instead of 7 days or longer) for several reasons.
Most of the zero-point foods are low in fat. Fat is essential for brain function, satisfaction, hunger reduction, energy, cell growth, and more, so while there is enough fat to keep you healthy for 3 days, we don’t recommend following this plan for longer without incorporating additional healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, red meat, or olive oil.
However, you can reuse this plan often (once a month or so) if you enjoy it and it works for you. We’ve now had 50,000+ people use this 3-day plan, and they’ve had excellent results.
Check out our new 3-day Plant-Based Meal Plan, which is also very low in WW points and a great free Weight Watchers meal plan.
Rest assured that while this meal plan is low in calories, all zero points foods do have calories so you are not starving yourself when you enjoy this program. We include lots of filling protein to make it extra satisfying.
Most people tell us that there is so much food they can’t even eat it all.
Here’s What Happened When 130 Women (Over the Age of 50) Used the 3 Day Zero Point Plan
A couple of years ago, I was contacted by Woman’s World magazine requesting more information about the Holy Mess 3-day diet meal plan. They wondered how much weight women had lost using the plan. We invited a select group of women to participate in this plan together as a group for a test run.
We were expecting a few women to be interested and were shocked when over 130 women volunteered. Their results were incredible, and we know you will be successful with this program, too.
How Much Weight Can I Lose on a 3 Day Diet Plan?
You can expect to lose between 2-10 pounds while following this 3-day meal plan.*
Almost all the women in our 3-day weight loss challenge lost weight, and many lost 3-5 pounds. A few women lost up to 10 pounds! Even more amazing is that most of the women in the challenge were over 50, with quite a few in their 60s and 70s and a few women in their 80s.
These results prove that losing weight is possible even as we age. I can’t wait to hear how the zero-point meal plan works for you.
*Your results may vary. Always consult your doctor or medical professional for advice.
What Women Are Saying About the 3-Day Weight Loss Program
Here’s what women who participated in the plan had to say about their weight loss results.
Absolutely, I would recommend this plan to anyone trying to jump start weight loss or get back ‘on track’ with better eating! -Mariann M., 56 years old, lost 4 pounds
The plan was easy to follow, the food was good, and I got the results I was hoping for in getting me beyond a month-long weight loss plateau that I couldn’t seem to budge. My husband ate the same meals, enjoyed them, and lost weight as well. -Kathy O., 66 years old, lost 2 pounds
I would recommend this plan, especially if you have a lot to lose. -Susan W., 71 years old, lost 1.2 pounds

Hello. One the WW 3 Day Plan do you have to eat both snacks every day? I generally do no snack and I am trying to figure out do I have to eat the snacks and when do I eat the snacks?
