New weight watchers Core program

[Patgo]

Hi,

 

Can anyone tell me anything about the new weight watchers core program. No points no counting. What can you eat? I am wondering if it is a low carb plan or what.

 

any info would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

it is not a low carb plan...it's basically a no processed foods plan.

 

With a few exceptions, you can eat the following foods until you're satisfied:

 

lean meats

fruits

veggies

fat free dairy products

grains

 

whole wheat pasta products, brown rice, and potatoes you can have at one meal a day...that's the big restriction.

 

If you want other foods that aren't on the Core master list..you have 35 points to use for them

 

The forums on the WW board have a lot of info if you do some searching around :)

Thank you for the information. I will go to the WWboards and look around. I really appreciate your help.

 

Are you doing this?

Yep :) I just started on Tuesday (have a Monday evening weigh in) so we shall see how this first week goes.

 

Also, there's a yahoo group that's been set up as well for this and there's a lot of info there. You can view the messages without joining, but if you join the group, you have access to the files that show a lot more Core info concentrated in one place: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/wwcoreplan/
