For those on WW

Do you like the flex points or core food plan better? I have done the points before, but it is hard for me to write down everything. That is why I was thinking core foods might be better. Any feedback?

I started core yesterday and I'm hungry!!! I think it's going to be hard - I know I have all those points to use, but I'm saving them because I know I am going for sushi next week!

Do you think flex would be better? Can you switch which plan you use?

Re: For those on WW

I was told you could switch back and forth as long as you do it for a whole week at a time - like do core for a week, then do flex for a week. I'm going to give it a good chance but it's hard right now!

I'm doing flex points...i think its easier...and if you eat the same types of food on a normal basis you kinda memorize the points values

Re: For those on WW

you can switch back and forth from week to week, but I think the core plan is more restrictive and requires more discipline. It is not a key to eating unlimited food. You have to eat the foods on the core plan until your body feels satisfied/full. I am a flex points fan because you can eat whatever you want in moderation and are not deprived.

Re: For those on WW

i like flex points better as well. the core plan seemed like i would need to do a lot of cooking and would need a lot of fresh ingredients around the house. for me that's just impractical.

Re: For those on WW

i am doing core. i have done flex in the past. i am finding core much more manageable than flex, because writing down and measuring every single thing just drives me nuts! being able to eat as much core food as i need to feel satisfied is actually forcing me to think about when i am feeling full, which is a new concept for me - lol. it's also good because i am working out a lot, and 20 points just wouldn't be enough, even with activity and extra flex points... i also think the core foods are foods that are healthier for you - cutting down on refined sugars is really making me feel detoxed, and i have much more energy.

this is my second week on core - lost 1.2 the first week, and my second weigh-in is tomorrow...
