I ordered my TM at about the same time as I joined WW so I too am very keen to see this get off the ground instead of having to run all the TM recipes through the WW recipe builder to figure out the SmartPoints, then figure out how to get them down to manageable points levels ?. However for those of you who are still on WW - if you search the food index for Thermomix - I've saved any of the recipes I've run through the recipe builder and prefaced them all with the word Thermomix - I don't know how it works exactly, if anyone who is logged in can see them, or it's just me, but you could give it a try.
Forum Weight watchers
I love you! Thank you!
WW points on Thermomix recipes. Helpful.
I would love to have a thermomix cookbook with weight watchers recipes - or at least with low fat recipes suitable for a weight loss diet.
Yes! I agree, it would be terrific to have a cookbook that catered for those who are weight conscious. I have noticed that a lot of recipes, like in the EDC have quite an amount of eggs, sugar, butter, etc. and while it is easy enough when you know the tricks to adjust to low fat, it would be great to have a dedicated cookbook.
My hubby lost weight on a well known healthy eating plan and the recipes are so flavourful and filling! And the books have a weekly meal planner, shopping list, etc. The whole family love it. So I think it would be fantastic to have a thermomix cookbook that would encourage those who are watching their weight but still love to cook!
Could include these topics:· Starters and light meals· Vegetables and salads· Seafood· Chicken· Meat· Sandwich fillings· Desserts· Baking
I think it would be terrific if the cookbook could include whether the recipe is suitable to freeze; how many serves it makes and the dietary information.
Cheers!
I am doing the weigh it up diet. I love the recipes that we get every week. But I find that I do not use my TM as much any more. It would be great if someone could convert healthy recipes for the TM.
I agree!!!
Why don't you try converting them? Or perhaps upload them here in original form with NEEDS CONVERTING in the title?
I LOVE converting recipes, and I Need to because of our eating limitations. Even the recipes in the EDC I need to convert to safe foods for us. It's fun once you get the habit of it.
i have actually started to work out the propoint values of recipes in the EDC using etools on the WW website. some dishes are working out to be quite propoint friendly.
for other recipes i have beeen substituting skim milk, low fat marg etc, also light evaporated coconut milk in curries etc.
i think making everything fresh and healthy is certainly also a good thing
I too would love a weight watches cook book!!
This is definitely something that we are considering... great idea and the TM makes cooking without the typical fats, oils and additives so much easier - we will pass this on and hopefully have something for you all!!!
I would love a WW/Thermomix cook book too! I have just bought a Thermomix & joined WW. It would make life soooo much easier as I love my Thermomix!

What a great idea .....Love the fresh juices but adding the sugar makes me cringe Weight Watchers Thermomix style please xxx
I too would love a WW cookbook. I love my Thermomix and use everyday
Yep me too would soo love to use with WW
Yep me too would soo love to use with WW
Hi Tan,
can you send me copies of the receipes that you have converted please? I love to use my TM but have been struggling with doing the points convesion thing!
Any thing you have converted would be great.
Cheers
Tracy
Me too! I have been doing Weight watchers for about 2 years and have just bought my thermomix. BUT I am finding it very hard to cook WW friendly foods in the thermomix because I am not used to being able to adjust recipes myself!
hi I am alsos a new thermomixer and I am on weight watchers , any recipes converted to points would be appreciated .. happy mixing
Great idea....
Why not link up with Weight Watchers and get them in on the work end....the Thermo Mix goes so well with the entire Weight Watchers ethos....healthy eating and all...
I was so happy to find this thread. I to love the weight watchers recipes and do not have the confidence to convert them so find I am not using my thermomix as much as I should.
I to would love any converted recipes for ww.
Anne
Weight Watchers is HUGE, and unfortunate our thermomix's are a bit small as far as brands go.I think it would be great to see people enjoying these bad boys more, but it would be great to see some "approved" recipes at any rate
This is definitely something that we are considering... great idea and the TM makes cooking without the typical fats, oils and additives so much easier - we will pass this on and hopefully have something for you all!!!
Hi Thermomix in Australia, has there been any progress on this from head office. So many people are asking, it would be great to have an update.
Thanks
I am doing weight watchers, and also find it hard to convert the recipes for use with the TM. I will look forward to a low fat cook book coming out to get the most of the TM. That also gives you serves and maybe even points if that is possible.
Was drawn to this topic because I have spent a lot of my life dieting. Now I don't because I finally read the science about why we get fat. It's not the calories - it's the carbs and the sugar. Now I eat butter, eggs and glucose instead and I still keep losing weight. Would love a cookbook based on the principles in the books "Sweet Poison" and "Diet Delusion" so that others can finally shift their weight for good without feeling bad about lack of will power or paying huge $$$ to the likes of WW to turn up for the torturous weigh ins. Hope this helps even just one person get off the dieting wheel because I hated being on it and i'm so much happier now and healthier than ever. We have been scammed for years by these diet companies.
I also think that it would be amazing to have a weight watchers book incorporated with the thermomix
I got my Thermomix last week. I am working my way through the EDC and find that yes there is a lot of butter, sugar etc but you can reduce the amounts you use. However a dedicated book for weight watching would be excellent. It would make life so much easier.
I love that all the weight watchers cook books have weights so you don't need to spend time converting cups to grams.
Has anyone sorted how to figure out how many 'points' are in our home made cooking anyway? It would be a great way to check what sort of food I'm putting on the table each day.. as to whether it would be adding to waistlines or not... !
This is really interesting! I would love to see this happen also!!
Yes, Nosugar, I am also following the principles in 'Sweet Poison' & have never been happier. I lost weight with WW three times, put it back on three times, but have now kept it off using no sugar. Easy to convert Thermomix recipes - just use dextrose/glucose in place of sugar!
Are you able to share what the healthy eating plan is or who it's with that your hubby lost weight on?
I love this topic I have just got my TM and have been doing WW for a little while now.. A tm/ww cookbook would make it sooo much easier
I agree that would be great!
Super idea! I would definitely buy one!
Super idea! I would definitely buy one!
I love the idea of having a meal planner and shopping list in the book too.
I have just receive a Thermomix for my birthday! In love with it already. Have lost 10kg on the Weight Watchers Pro Points but still have a few to go. Would love a WW Thermomix Cookbook - great idea. I'm all for it - would make things so much easier!
Love the idea of a WW Thermomix cookbook - really hope it eventuates
I agree have just got my Thermomix and with 7 kgs to go and really struggling a cookbook woud be fantastic.....
I have just bought my Thermomix and woulld love to have the propoints values you have worked out....trying to get my head around it and still try to make point friendly meals...Thanks
So agree with everyone here. Has any progress been made on a ww tx cookbook?
Hi Tanya, would love to see the conversions you've made to make recipes ww/tx friendly. Would you be ale to send me some of them?
thanking you in advance
A WW cookbook is a definite must have! Just wondering if there is any more progress on this since it was back in October 2011 when Thermomix head office replied??
Based on the above, creative writing may be seen as a means/tool of presenting in a manner to achieve pleasure/entertainment, inform or teach a lesson informally and to achieve beauty without undermining the universally accepted standards of and devices of self-expression and presentation. http://www.australianwritings.com/case-study-help/
Sarah Wilson has a good website... she follows the David Gillespie way and owns a TMX too

Im following this also, today is day 1
I would love a weightwatchers cookbook for the thermomix. I am struggling converting as it takes a lot of time to get on the computer and work out everything with 3 boys aged 8 weeks, 2 and 3.
I am also looking for some ways to use my Thermomix with thhe weight watchers diet. I have seen some posts where people mention recipes but I haven't really been able to find anything useful. I would appreciate any practical ideas!
Hi all, I have a blog which is dedicated to healthy, low-fat recipes, all of which are Weight Watchers friendly and would probably interest everyone who has posted here. I have calculated and state the ProPoints for each recipe. Subscribe at www.mythermomixkitchen.com, or follow My Thermomix Kitchen on facebook for regular updates
