*Yogurt Cheese

16 oz. plain, fat-free yogurt, with NO gelatin in ingredients

Place in a colander lined with paper towels or large paper coffee
filter over a container, so that there is space for the liquid to
drain. Cover with foil, plastic wrap or something. Let sit for 12
hours or so. The whey will drain off leaving a thick, yogurt cheese.
Makes 8 oz. yogurt cheese. Whole Recipe = 2 Milk.

It sounds good Fred. You can do it! Happy Thanksgiving.

Thank you for your reply.

satisfied instead of counting points. For foods that are not on the core

not a care food.

FRUITS
Fresh, frozen or canned (without added sugar)

before eating. Unsweetened applesauce is a core food, but sweetened is not.

Thank you for your reply.


This is a really nice group. I'm not WW and have no idea what points mean
but it's all about sensible lifestyle changes for a healthier life. You get
loads of tips and support whatever diet you are following and lots of people
have tried other methods so I'm sure they will be able to offer ideas and
thoughts on your plan too.
Good luck!
Rachael

why not cook some cranberries and add to those oranges? If it were me I
would also opt for a couple more vegetables but then I am a vegetable junkie

Thank you Laura... This information will add greatly to my food plan.

I am a Diabetic OvereatersAnonymous...
so I follow The Dignity of Choice plan.

Diabetes Self-Management is my guide. Thank you for your speedy reply.

WW points is a method WW has developed for measuring the energy density of
foods. A point is determined by a proprietary formula (but readily
available by a simple internet search) based on a serving's calorie content
and grams of fat and fiber. The more fat, the more energy value. The more
fiber (up to a certain point) the less energy value.

For example, a large chocolate sundae is 15 points; a 3/4 cup serving of
green beans is 1 point; a Maine lobster tail is 5 points.

You are given a daily target of from 20 - 34 points (based on your current
weight) plus a weekly points allowance of an additional 35 points. It makes
calculating and tracking nutrition a lot easier than having to separately
track macronutrients.
