Hello lovely folks.....

So I've been doing the new plan for a week now. I have found it impossible to eat all my points. On the old plan I was consistently into my Flex points. With this plan I just find that I am making MUCH healthier choices resulting in lower points values for what I'm eating. And I'm getting in my fruits/veggies, water etc. Even started eating Greek Yogurt which is 3 or 4 pts per serving.

How have you all been doing with getting your points in? What have you been eating?

Any thoughts are appreciated!!

I had a couple of days last week where I didn't meet my 29 points, but as I'm getting more used to the P+ values and planning better, it's not been an issue this week to meet my target.

Depending on your own target, you may want to look at adding in higher fat but still nutritious foods - like nuts, full fat cheese, avocado, etc. and if you happen to be using light breads, swap out for the regular (but still whole grain) versions.

I'd also recommend you check out the thread on this page about journaling our food intake on the new plan; there are some great ideas in there.

Thank You. I hadn't thought about nuts!! I love nuts. Fabulous idea!!!!!

I haven't started the new plan yet but one days when I was struggling to get my points in before, I would eat almonds, always good for you and guarenteed to be higher in points.

Special K has a really yummy chocolate peanut snack which is 3 points and yummy
