Anyone trying "Simply Filling"?

  • Now that you can do Simply Filling for a day instead of having to commit for a whole week, I'm going to try it today. I think it will steer me towards healthier choices. I'm going to track on Sparkpeople, too, just to see what it ends up as for calories.

    Breakfast: polenta with 2 runny fried eggs. All Simply Filling, and 300 calories. Also, very yummy and actually filling.

    Lunch (planned): extra lean ground beef sauteed with mushrooms and onions, butternut squash. Apple. (all SF foods.)

    Dinner: Red potatoes, lean steak, green beans. Wine. (All except wine are SF foods. And butter if I add a little butter to potatoes and green beans.)

    Anyone using SF?
  • I have been using it for about a month. It's busted my plateau and I feel like I'm learning the way I will eat for the rest of my life! I love the focus on stopping when you are full. I am leaning towards healthier choices overall since I've started this plan, and I feel like I am just getting the hang of it so it can only get better! Let me know what you think of it!
  • Not yet, but I am definitely going to try it sometime now that we can. I've been interested in it and, looking at the food list, it's all stuff I eat much of the time anyway, but like you didn't want to commit for a whole week.
  • I am giving it a try as well to see if I can lose without tracking and too much effort, just watching portions and only eating until full.. NOT overfull.. Hopefully this will work..

  • I haven't used it per se, but I eat mostly simply filling foods on a regular basis anyway. I never realized until I got the new booklet you could eat just filling foods until full and not worry about tracking.

    I'm definitely going to cut out any non filling foods (very little) and follow this way on a regular basis.
  • I am doing WW on-line only and can't find the info for Simply Filling. I tried using the seearch tool, and looking under the My Plan tab, but either I am missing something (which is possible) or it isn't there for me. Sounds like something I may try if I can get below 170 after a couple more weeks on plan.
  • I plan to give it a try once I am down to 150 that seems to be where I really hit a plateau. The list of foods are easy to find if you google it
  • Not yet - I don't trust myself to know when I am full. I still need the control of tracking, counting, etc. hopefully one day!
  • Here's my planned Simply Filling Menu for tomorrow:

    Breakfast, all powerfoods except a point for butter:
    Oatmeal, canned pumpkin, butter. Milk.

    Lunch:
    steamed tofu with spinach over polenta.

    Dinner:
    ground beef with mushrooms and onions over brown rice. 2 tsp of oil used to saute the veggies.

    Snacks: orange and pear.

    I entered it into Sparkpeople and it's a 1400 calorie day, with the right amounts of fat, protein and carbs. And none of those foods are things that I would over eat on.
