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. Will~ ' "Stephanie" wrote in message ... Willow Herself wrote: 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? "Stormmee" wrote in message ... 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 "doug lerner" wrote in message ... 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 |

A couple of "Filling Foods" questions
that makes total sense, Lee
"Willow Herself" wrote in message ... Then I would count the points for only the oil and the flour.. But if, for exemple, your stew had the oil, the flour, and non-filling beef, I would count the whole thing because you have 3 non-filling ingredients AND one of them is a main ingredient of your stew (beef). Will~ "Stormmee" wrote in message ... makes sense, but then i was thinking in stew the only non filling foods i might put in would be oil to brown the meat and a bit of flour to thicken the gravy, thanks for putting up with us, Lee "Willow Herself" wrote in message ...
