Hello. Where is everyone? I read through last week's thread and there were lots of posts! I usually post on the 50+ Golden Girls thread, but I recently started Weight Watchers Points Plus and thought I'd come on over and look around.
Vegequarian - I don't eat a lot of fruit because of my type 2 diabetes, but I do fill up on zero point veggies. I was told that they are zero points, but not free. ie, not unlimited and should be kept at 5-7 servings per day, and some veggies are only 1/2 cup per serving. But I never heard anyone say they got fat because they ate too many veggies. And I've never heard of a doctor telling a patient to cut back of veggies. I think the veggies are why I'm doing well on Points Plus and I'm not going to change my diet as long as I continue to lose. I think the reason they specify 5-7 servings is because most people don't meet that allotment. I, too, sometimes don't eat all my 26 points for the day. On weigh-in day I allow myself some things I don't usually eat and then get right back to plan the next day. Even doing that, I don't go over my weekly points.
This seems like a nice group and I will probably stop in from time to time.
Have a good week, everyone!
