There's two way to do it.. you can count everything, or you can do the
"Simply Filling Technique" which is pretty much like Core used to be.

If you're tracking everything, filling foods DO have points, and they should
be the main focus of your food choices.

I rarely have more than one non-filling ingredient anyway. It's not
about what you can get away with, it's about understanding how the
program works and why.

Some people do it differently, they just count the pts for
non-filling foods only, no matter how many there are. If that works
for them, fine for them, that is not how the plan was taught to us
(the leaders).



Wait. I did not realize you are not supposed to count points for filling
foods? I use the filling foods list to provide me with... filling foods! I
like to not be hungry. But I count all points. Is this wrong?

that is my understanding, so if you have a pot of stew with filling
foods and say the stew is eight servings, and you put in 8 points of
non filling foods then a serving is 1 point, somebody please correct
me if i am wrong, Lee

As I mentioned, I recently tried the free online WW trial and have a
current copy of the "Filling Foods" list and the current "Momentum"
plan and its "Simply Filling" variation.

I have two questions about this:

(1) Comparing Simply FIlling to the old "Core" plan I cannot see any
difference at all - not in the foods list, not in the free weekly
points allowance, not in activity points, not in the suggestions
about portions or listening to your hunger signals and avoid
overstuffing. Are there really any differences at all from Core?

(2) How do foods which are made from Filling Foods and non-Filling
Foods work again? For example, if I make a stew from Filling Foods
and add a non-Filling Food ingredient to it, do I just count the
points of the extra items against my weekly extra allowance?

Thanks,
