I do the WW online, and I don't think they've explained the new program
well
enough for me to understand fully.

If I make a recipe that uses core foods, such as vegetarian burgers plus
potatoes, plus 2 tsp of canola oil that is allowed, does this mean I don't
have to count any part of the recipe? If I add 1 T butter, I only have to
count that part, right?

Correct. Assuming you can identify the parts of the recipe that are core vs
non-core you would only count the non core points. If on the other hand you
really can't tell whats what then count the whole thing as non core. The
example used was lasgne which is a mixture of foods.


I could find whole wheat on the list, but not bread. Are all
breads/english
muffins off the list and must be counted?

All breads/muffins are non core. We did just discover that cornmeal is CORE
so make some corn bread.

This core program appears to be high protein/low fat/low carb. I know I
can't follow this as a lifestyle choice, but I do need to shake things up
a
bit, and this looks like a good way to try. Who knows? Maybe I'll finally
make some more downward moves.

You might find it easier to follow than you thought. Remember you get to use
your normal 35 FP for stepping out of the core list. This might just be
enough points to keep you happy yet not enough to put all the junk back into
the routine.
