Yes…for MOST companies. Smaller companies and those who can claim a hardship can have until 2021. This was all set to happen earlier, but that man in the big white house put a kabosh on it through the FDA. |

Thanks for sharing! Those are great changes. I especially love that they can no longer put some flimsy serving size to keep the appearance of calories low. I remember buying some national brand premade kettle corn that at first glance looked reasonable in calories until I read the fine print that said a serving size was about 7 popped kernels. I'm exaggerating slightly but it was something ridiculous like that. Especially knowing that no one opens a smallish bag of popcorn and just takes a few out and calls it a day.

Mike, do you remember when they were set to change before? Wasn't it before Smart points or was it Freestyle?

I’ve always suspected that SmartPoints originally may have had a formula that penalized added sugars and got switched to all sugars at the last minute because of the delay in the labeling change. |

I hope this happens. I like that the serving size is changing to a bit more realistic number.
This is very important when it comes to sodium. Often a reasonable single serving of a frozen food has a total daily worth of sodium. Crazy.
I also like to know the added sugar in an item. I've seen a few items at Trader Joe's that already have this. I have decided not to buy items due
to added sugar.

I will be interested if WW for 2020 will now calculate points based upon added sugars rather than total. I also felt that was what they had originally intended. Of course, they may make other changes for next year but that is one I would think they would make (basically use added sugars if available, otherwise use total).

That was always my suspicion as well Mike. I don't think they intended for all sugars to be so badly penalized. |

Based solely on 50+ years of preaching that members need to drink 2 to 3 glasses of skim milk per day, coupled with the fact that a glass of skim milk went from 2 points to 3 points while the minimum daily pointd allowance weent from 30 to 23 made it awfully suspicious. Because everybody I know who tried to follow SmartPoints immediately stopped drinking milk to save the 9 points per day. |

My solution was to stop following Smartpoints and track on MFP. My friends had switched to LoseIt sometime during PointsPlus; only a couple of them even tried SmartPoints Freestyle—recently—and one gave up on it pretty quickly. I began tracking standard NI sometime during PointsPlus due to my need for carb counting. |
