I, too, am looking for the menus and exchange lists from the Weight Watchers Quick Start Program from 1984. I would appreciate anything at all anyone can e-mail me. I remember going to meetings with my mom back in the 80s and this program was simple, easy, and it worked!

HI! If you can get the old WW cookbook, it has all the values there. But here they are for women per day:
Protiens: 9 oz
Fats: 3 (includes butter, oils, mayo, etc. 1 tbsp is a serving)
Milks: 2 (include yogurt, etc).
Veggies: 2 cups at least
Fruit: 3
Bread: 3 (includes pasta & rice, 1/2 cup is a serving)
Eat liver & onions once a week; no more than an ounce of cheese a day; cereal & cottage cheese can be counted as proteins if eaten at breakfast.
If you cheat, cheat with proteins or veggies. Also, if you eat this way, you don't need vitamins either.
Hope this helps!
I was in WW in the early-mid 80s, did well, and became a WW leader. I'm curious about a couple of things. I dot remember a specific amount of protein. I thought it was by servings. I,also, thought that Wiggins were by servings and not a specific amount.
I've done the point system, and I feel, as the previousperson who made the comment that it is easier to say no than put limits on it. So, I'm going back to the old program and attend the meetings. I'll see if that works better for me.
And butter is one teaspoon, not 1 tablespoon for one serving. That is one thing I remember.
This menu is from the 1970s not the 80s
I just found what you are looking for: Go to Amazon and order the Quick Start cookbook. All the food lists are there.
