We all have our own styles on how to lose weight, but I was wondering how different the Core plan is from the basic program WW has been outlining for the past few years (5+ fruit/veggies a day, whole carbs, lean protien, 2-3 milks, sparinly using oils/sugar). I like flex for the flexibility and that fact it works well for me, but in general I pretty much eat like that anyway since I don't do well on overly processed carbs and like most of my points to be used on better options(I treat myself once in a while). What was the exchange program like, is it like the program for diabetics?

Cheers!

Pretty much. You had so many proteins, so many fats, so many breads (included starchy veggies), so many fruits and at least 3 veggie servings a day. It worked very much like the diabetic exchanges except the protein was just that and not separated into lean and fatty meats.
