A couple of "Filling Foods" questions

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.

Thanks. That makes the most sense.

It depends how many "non-filling foods" you have.. if it's more than
1 or 2, your recipe isn't Simply Filling anymore..
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,
doug
