I just reviewed the ETools information on the " Core Plan " and I'm thrilled!

It is a no nonsense way of approaching weight loss. If you eat the core

foods you don't have to count them. You have 35 points to use on Non Core

items which you do have to count. I eat all that whole grain stuff anyway,

like 5 grain oatmeal mix for breakfast, so this is terrific for me and it

means I don't have to count the majority of the stuff I eat. I notice that

I'm not as hungry eating this way, however, I use the point tracker from the

old system. I even make a very low fat 14 grain bread (I'm still trying to

perfect it) that makes me so full I only use one slice of it for a sandwich,

and a thin slice at that. It will be interesting to not count all the time,

just those items not on the core plan.

This plan will be a great counter to the low carb fad.

*****************************

we don't add on AP's on core because we feed our boddies until they are

full. It is like our bodies request extra AP's when they want them. I hope

that makes sense.

As far as the questions about combining core and non-core foods. If you do

that you need to count all of those points from that meal. As far as I can

tell. But I am still working out the details. But think about this...a salad

with all non-point veggies and then splurge with some great ranch dressing.

All you would end up counting is the dressing.

Also as far as the dressings go...remember we can have 2 T of good oils

per day. Dressing can be made with those things.

***********************

As you learned in your Meetings, the Core Plan gives you a weekly POINTS

Allowance of 35 to use on any food that is not on the Core Food List. This

means you have 35 to use over the course of 7 days, and you can use them any

way you please.

Whether you use some, all or none of your weekly POINTS Allowance is up to

you. Each week you'll start fresh with 35. The Weight Watchers eTools weekly

POINTS Allowance guide will help you customize your weekly POINTS Allowance

for your unique lifestyle.

Customizing your weekly POINTS Allowance to fit your life

Everyone's different-that's why everyone's weight loss needs are

different. The beauty of the weekly POINTS Allowance is that you can use it

in a way that suits your lifestyle.

Many people like to use a few POINTS values each day on foods they

typically like to eat; others " splurge " on a big meal or treats. If you have

an unpredictable meal schedule, or tend to eat out a lot, you may want to

use them to help deal with unexpected situations where you need to eat

outside of the Core Food List.

Your weekly POINTS Allowance will help you custom-fit the Core Plan to fit

your lifestyle. Weight Watchers eTools gives you lots of great tools to help

you find and spend your POINTS values:

Increasing your weekly POINTS Allowance

As you've probably learned in your Meetings, you'll also be able to earn

Activity POINTS values through exercise which you can then add to your

weekly POINTS Allowance balance. The Activity POINTS Calculator calculates

the POINTS values for over 100 sports, exercises and everyday activities.

Use the POINTS Pad to record Activity POINTS values you've earned and keep

track of how many POINTS values you have left for the week!
