Core Plan
Core Plan Core Plan controls calories by focusing your eating on a core list of wholesome, nutritious foods without tracking. The list is comprised of foods from all the food groups: vegetables and fruits; grains & starches; lean meats, poultry, fish and eggs; and milk products. We established this food list to provide eating satisfaction without empty calories. For that occasional treat, you can also eat foods outside of this list in a controlled amount. You also have 35 flex points if you want to use them for foods that are NOT on the Core Program list. Whenever you want to step outside the No Count Foods, you must make a choice - use your Flex Points Allowance (at its full POINTS value) or don't eat it. For example, fat-free Cheddar cheese is a No Count Food. Opt for an ounce of regular Cheddar and it carries a POINTS value of 3. The same goes for any food combinations or recipes you make. When combining foods, to consider the finished product a No Count Food, all foods on the No Count Food List must be combined only with other foods on the List. If any other food is used, the entire product should be counted within your Flex Points Allowance.
