There is a new program called flexpoints which gives you a minimum amount of points to eat each day + 35 extra points to use during the week if you need them.
Ie. I have 22 to points to eat each day, if I eat 25 one day I can deduct them from my 35 flexpoints. It makes it easier to eat if you are a little hungrier one day or you can use them for a special meal, dinner out or party you are going to where you know you will end up eating extra points. Or you can decide to not use them at all. I find it much easier than the old point system
They give you these sheets as I mentioned in my last post so that you have a low carb option- they have menu charts so you can pick items for each day and they are set out in points so you don't even have to think about it. WW also gives you a fast track pamplet and a cd to help you along. I am finding the new program very helpful and I am still going to meetings for support, motivation and ideas even though I am doing SBD.
I like SBD as I am not a huge fan of potatoes or rice and I get headaches and nauseau when I eat too many carbs. I have already been converting to wholewheat pasta, wholegrain breads, and other wholegrain products which WW is now encouraging people to eat as an alternative to white flour products and I will implement them when I move on to Phase 2. WW seems to be going with the flow as far as giving people an alternative to the "low fat" diet and giving them a lower carb alternative.
I am currently doing Phase one as I blew it all at Christmas but I am back OP.
I have 4 weeks of SBD menus set up with my points counted out so I don't have to think about it each day. I prepare my lunch for work along with SBD snacks the night before and make sure to defrost what I am having for supper that night so I will not cave and order out or eat something off plan.
I am currently on day 3 and feel good about what I am eating and have not been hungry so far. My DH is also doing SBD along with me with the exception of his Friday office lunch which we are counting as his cheat day.
Hope that helps
