WW and SBD?

ChinkyDragonfly · 03-07-2005, 04:23 PM

Is anyone doing Weight Watchers and SBD? How's it going? Are you doing Core or Flexpoints?

I'm thinking of incorporating WW as I've stalled at 8lbs in Week 4 (lost the 8 in Phase 1).

Dragonfly, I am using CORE as well as SBD. There is a section on WW and SBD in the FAQ Section. There really isn't much difference except for the extra points per week. You still have to watch portions and there are no nuts unless you count them as weekly points.
Gee 8 pounds in 4 weeks is good progress. Remember this is a Lifestyle change.

Dragonfly, I'm doing the Flex program with South Beach.
I lost eight pounds during the first month. Unfortunately that was just before Christmas, and I managed to pack most of it back on. But I'm back on track this week, and it's going well.

I have an agreement with myself. If I get to the point where I am discouraged, I will join WW for additional RL support. So far, so good. But, it is nice to know that it is an option for some of us that would use it to achieve our goals.

I know that Mauvaisroux also does WW and SBD, and there are others, too, I think.

Beach Bum, I loved the Fat and Fibre plan!! My DH and I lost big time on it about ummmm... 10 years ago. (pre- DS, when I gained 80 pounds)

What's the Fat & Fiber plan? I was in WW during the Points system beginnings.

Hi Dragonfly

The Fat & Fiber Plan was:
Rules
1) Limit total fat grams to between 15-35 each day:men & youths can go up to 45 gr.(I go as low as 15-25 grams)

2)Eat at least 20 of fiber per day ( I go up to 35 grams)

3) Men & woman should eat a minimum of 2 servings of diary food daily; youths a minimum of 3

4)Eat at 5 serving of fruits & veggies daily.

5) Go easy on refined sugars & alcholic beverages.(I don't take sugar or alchol)

Hope that helps Hugs

Hmm... thanks Beach. I think I could stick to that. Were there any calorie or food restrictions on the Fat & Fiber plan?

I have been doing the SBD/WW combo for a while but stopped around November 04 when it all fell apart due to buying a house, packing, moving, a trip and then Christmas

but I have decided to get back into it since regular WW isn't working that well at the moment.

I found the I felt better on my own SBD/flexpoints program, giving up the refined carbs and sugar really helped.

I had posted 2 threads showing my SBD/WW menus to help out anyone with meal planning. I will be working on some new stuff and will post when I can

Hi Dragonfly: The Fat & FIber Plan from WW uses the U.S Food Labels.1) serving size 2)total fat Grams 3) fiber grams.found on the Nutrition facts.

They also use the WW Food List which its in a booklet that I got from them 10 years ago.But you can get a simular booklet from the supermarkets checkout counter or better yet find a web site that has the fat & fiber content in foods,and either bookmark or print it out.

Hope that helps Hugs
