RE: Fat free question on Core

[Guest guest]

The fat free stuff is O grams of fat per serving, and the low fat stuff

shows a lower amount of fat than 'regular' per serving. Please note that

two or more Fat Free things do not necessarily mean 0 fat, as 2 or more

servings of 0 points items do not always equal 0 points. At some point in

time, you must note the calories, and they do add up.

Thanks Beckie. To clarify.... So when I am doing the core programme and it

says that these items are point free or core foods how exactly do I know if

and when they are totally point free OR totally core foods (same thing just

trying to be as CLEAR as possible) I want to try core but am a bit concerned

as I have been on flex since I started 18 months ago & got rid of 22 kg in

that time but I feel the need for a change and I want to get this right from

the start!

My understanding is that core foods are 'free', as many as until you feel

satisfied. It is only when you use products not on the core list that you would

need to figure the points and use the 35 weekly allowance points. For example,

if you drink coffee and you add ff milk, you could add as much milk as you

want(until satisfied) because coffee and ff milk are both core. However, if you

used 2% milk, then you would have to figure the points and take them from your

35 weekly allowance. I have been considering going to core for a bit, but, I

love the variety of flex. And of course, not all FF or Sugar Free stuff is

core, either, depending on what it is. My Fat Free pringles are not on the core

list!..lol I hope my babbling makes sense and has not confused you.

Hi, again, , When I was talking about the fat free things not always being

0 points, I was talking about the flex program, I did not realize you were

talking about Core. On core, it is my understanding that you can have as much

core foods as you feel satisfied. My bad, that is why it was confusing. Please

forgive.

from the way it was explained when I attended meetings? there is a Core list of

foods. If it isn't on the list? it isn't a Core food. And if we have something

not on the core list? then we have to count points for it.........

The tricky part to following Core, even tho it is excellent and a very healthy

way of eating? is the balance of the portions? They want to get us to 'feel' the

comfort level when we eat? and following the Core program is an excellent way of

doing this? trying to alway be at a level '3' when we have eaten? not feeling

hungry any longer? but not stuffed full either.

I have tried both Core and Flex but for me still having such a long way to go

with my Journey ( I have 100 pounds to get rid of ) I will follow Flex as it is

more structured ? until I get closer to Goal and then try the Core to get a

better feel for the way we should be eating.
