Since the plan is exactly the same as Core I wonder why they bothered
changing the name and de-emphasizing it. "Simply Filling" and "Filling
Foods" are much harder to say and write than just "Core."

***What changed is mainly the tracking part of the plan. The reason why it
was all put in one plan was so that people realize that it's the same thing,
just with different ways to control your portions.

Also the WW site now says, "Tracking is our preferred way of
maintaining control, but some people just aren’t wired for it. So we
have another technique: Simply Filling."

Just speaking bluntly here, that sounds much like the old expression
"putting lipstick on a pig" and basically admitting that the Core
program wasn't really a success.

***It didn't take with the members because many were affraid of trying it.
The "Core members" were always a minority, but they were still successful,
which is why the tracking part of the plan was changed to bring it closer to
"Core" with the filling food, hunger signals ect.

I think the quoted statement could probably be re-phrased as, "We
found that in the end only tracking works, so we have killed off the
Core plan. But if you can't track it's probably better than nothing to
at least eat from the healthy food list."

***You couldn't be more wrong. As I said, many members were very successful
on Core, I'm one of them. The majority of the members didn't trust
themselves enough to try it that's all. So since it was impossible to force
everybody to try it, the tracking system was changed to make it closer to
it.

It's not that Core wasn't good, it's that it didn't sell well. So it was
repackaged..
