Re: Sue - New WW Info & alternative to journaling.

[Guest guest]

I don't like the sound of the core plan at all. Of course I don't

have to change, so that's okay. For me I need the flexibility. It

does sound like it might be good, though, for people who have a hard

time with the flexibility and need some very strict guidelines to

stick to. The option of one or the other is a big strength. Lack of

options is why most people don't stick to eating programs for their

entire life.

I can see new people using the core program at first to get their

food choices under control and get an idea of what a healthy diet

looks like, then venturing into the pointing as time goes on. Core

sounds like WWers on training wheels, which is a pretty good idea for

newbies who truly do not understand what healthy eating should look

like. I've seen posts on message boards where people want to know if

french fries are healthy. It's easy to laugh at that, but some people

honestly don't know.

I use the flex plan, but actually still just eat the way I did under

winning points. It's worked thus far!
