The difference for Simply Filling is the 49 weekly points can be used however you don't have to spend 7 each day like you did on Simple Start. Cheryl on February 19, Why the snark on ostrich? There's mainstream chain restaurants that serve it in the us. Fuddrucker's for example used to sell ostrich burgers.
I don't know if they do now days. Bareburger in NY sells ostrich, elk, bison, lamb and wild boar. I regularly get goat and feral pig and wild boar in my CSA box.
These things aren't as exotic and weird as you think. SulaBlue on February 24, SulaBlue is right. This meat mentioned mostly forage in the wild or are pasture fed and not restrained. But, so are most of the cattle in Texas. This kind of meat tends to be leaner and healthier in my opinion. They are not typically given antibiotics or other chemicals. Most of us who are not living in big cities are lucky to have these choices.
Hi all! I have a question on Simple Start that I can not get answered from anywhere and I am confused with the book they gave us. I can eat whatever off of that list, but my question.. There are alot in those meals I do not like, and I just migrate to the seactions following the meals. Thanks much everyone for the clarification!
Sarah R on February 28, You are only to eat until you feel full, don't get it confused with eating all you want. I bet you will find if you ate the entire can of beans reg you will gain weight. Remember its calories in v calories out. Eat til your full and not stuff. Hi, Sarah. I am a long-time WW Lifetimer and been back to below my goal weight for like eight months now.
I have been on Simply Filling for these eight months, which is exactly like the new Simple Start program except for the allowed amount per day of the indulgence points. You do not have to make the meals that are shown in the Simple Start booklet. WW was just trying to make things simple for people just starting on the plan. The list of Power Foods is on the WW website and it is also on the back of the paper tracker that they have there to take at the WW meetings.
Plain Cheerios and plain shredded wheat are now considered Power Foods, though they might not have made it on to the list since that is relatively new. Definitely you can go for the kidney beans, but just eat until satisfied. There was some confusion expressed at our meeting about the Simple Start booklet, but, like I said before, it was just to make things simple for the newbies.
And remember you get your 7 points of indulgences per day, but you cannot save those points and carry them over if you do not use them, but you don't have to use them if you don't want to. Good luck!! Linda on March 1, Simple Start is basically the Simply Filling Technique on training wheels, and comes with a suggested meal plan for 2 weeks. If you don't like the meals that are suggested, or have dietary restrictions, food allergies, etc. Simple Start is a 2 week guide.
You can use the Simply Filling Technique for as long as you want. SulaBlue on March 4, Thanks for the answers but I gave up. I gained weight on Simple Start and I am not happy. I followed it to a t and still gained. I am back to the counting method again! Sarah on March 5, I am finishing up my second week on Simply Filling. The first week, I lost 4.
I haven't had a problem with hunger except for one day when I was saving up PP points for a trip to Red Lobster! Yes, by the way, you can roll your 7 PP per day into another day But you cannot roll over left over PP into the following week.
You either use all the 49 in the week or they're gone forever! You can also swap activity points for food point but so far, I have not done that. The beauty of the plan is that it gets you used to smart and healthy eating. You can stay on it forever if it works for you and you're happy with it. I plan to say on about three weeks and then switch to the regular plan once my good habits are cemented. Like anything else, you have to figure out what works best.
My biggest problem so far is the dairy. I can't abide "blue milk" or ff cheese. The plan wants you to have two servings of dairy per day which if you don't use ff, you have to track. I track everything anyway because I'm a newbie and want to get in the zone of mindful eating. Hard to be creative for breakfast There will be more flexibility when I transition to the regular program but for now, I'm thrilled with the results and the whole WW community. Lots and lots of support and terrific recipes and websites and blogs.
Sherry on March 8, Sherry, give oatmeal a try made with the skim milk. You say you aren't a fan of skim milk, but made with the oatmeal, maybe you won't notice it. I am addicted to my oatmeal each morning, and that is how I make it.
I'm at goal and am maintaining with Simply Filling. Another idea for your dairy is yogurt. It is 2 points if you count points, but it is also a Power Food, so you can count it towards your dairy, but not your points. I have two of these with fruit some days for a quick lunch. Glad you are doing so well!! Linda Sabor on March 9, I don't really see what's missing from the simply filling plan. If I eat until I'm satisfied of those things plus my daily points for whatever isn't on the list, aren't I eating whatever I want?
Isn't that what I've already been doing? Isn't that why I need to loose weight? Thisgalgio on March 15, Eating Simply Filling or Simple Start is not eating everything you want and you just need to eat until you are satisfied not stuffed. Most of us eat until we are stuffed. The Simple Start does work if you just eat the Power foods and no more than 7 points a day. Ginny on March 16, I have lost 6.
I used to do the Momentum Plan years ago and have no problem with counting points. Margie on March 23, I'm 81 and I can't loose like I did when I was younger, I'm inactive. I can't make my goal of lbs. Can I stay on the Simply Filling more that 2 weeks. This is my3rd time around.
I did very well 15 yrs. Nancy Batchelder on May 27, I just started up again 3 weeks ago. I am very impressed with the Simply filling option. My first week I lost 4lbs. I can see how it can be a overwelming idea for some people but the freedom of not counting and being able to focus on healthy options is great.
I think that having 2 options for members is a very good idea and picking the best option will be the key to the success. Christi on May 30, I started on the WW Simple Start 3 weeks ago. I have been on and off WW for a number of years and at one point, reached my lifetime status. As most of you can relate to, the pound creep has me back on the program.
I had always been a points plus tracker but thought I would try the Simple Start plan to "jump start" my system. Definitely makes you change your old habits in a good way. I have not felt hungry on this program at all and know I am eating more fruits and vegetables than I had in the past. I have lost 7 pounds total so far and have about 10 more to go. I love to snack so the biggest change for me was my change to only having 2 snacks a day.
One in the afternoon and one in the evening. No more sitting down with a bag of chips watching TV at night. I find I spend more time preparing my food for the day which is a good thing. Love this program! Jeanne on August 17, I'm not a big fan of WW in some ways I don't like the obsession with pounds, as when I've dropped below with a 30" waist at that point I got inundated with comments about how 'unhealthy' I looked, and at my height people tend to assume is a 'proper' weight.
On the other hand, the only diet that ever worked for me was the old core plan. Simply put, there seems to be 2 types of self-control in the world of dieting: the ability to not eat something; and the ability to, having started eating it, stop. Call people type 1 or type 2 dieters based on which they have more of. The core plan and I guess the new SF suits type 1 dieters best, but can work for type 2 dieters.
For type 1 dieters, though, the points-based regular WW plan will always be very challenging. However, I doubt eating chalk will prevent the absorption of all fat.
I certainly wouldn't suggest it or be willing to try it. The value of the 'dairy effect' is small, and only effective when the dairy products in question don't contain more fat than the calcium removes - which is only a few grams per day. Cam on January 3, MMDU on May 31, We eat venison instead of feedlot beef.
It is a much leaner , and in my opinion, flavorful option that has not been raised in overcrowded conditions. Stacy on June 21, You absolutely CAN "bank" your 49 points and use them in whatever increments you want. Whoever said you can't use more than 7 per day is incorrect. It's however it works for you- or you can not use them at all if you want. Allyson on July 1, I am finding tracking very simple and enlightening.
However, eating virtually everything low or fat free to keep within my daily allowance seems no different than following a low fat diet such as Rosemary Conley on which I previously lost 36lbs.
I am struggling to lose weight keeping within my 26 points per day but that may be due to my age. I found that quite satisfying whereas I am still hungry on 26 points per day unless I am consuming loads of fruit sugar which is really no change for me as I have always eaten plenty of fruit and veg.
Can anyone tell me if I should be following one of the other WW systems as opposed to tracking please? Jadensgrandma on July 18, I find Simply Filling better for feeling satisfied since lean protein and whole grains are 'free' Yes, it does mean eating a low fat diet, but it does work.
Cam on July 19, I love the core and simply filling. I reached my goal on Oct 13, and did all of the old tortured countings..
I love the list and being able to use the foods as ingredients for many great recipes. By the way any foods that you overindulge in are not healthy. I try to stop eating when I think I maybe satisfied. I try to listen to my body it doesn't always work but Simply Filling does when I use it. Debi T on April 2, My problem is my husband won't eat if it is healthy. He wants all the fat that goes along with food. He is skinny so he doesn't see a problem with it.
But that makes it hard for me to cook when he doesn't like any of it if it is healthy. I certainly don't want to make two different meals every day. It's discouraging. Linda on August 21, I have just discovered this method, thank you. I am wondering which points calculator to use for the food that required counting.
I've been using an old Winning Points calculator from around Hope that's ok, just wanted your thoughts. Hi Marty WW has done away with this option in their latest Program. I think any points calculator that works for you will be fine. Your email address will not be published. Feeling Good is Essential for Weight Loss. There was an error submitting your subscription.
