....... and if you do and you're now doing the simply filling plan, please tell me how you find it different and why its better!!!

:thankyou:

(PS I've been on SW for the past year and this week I've been following the WW core plan from 2008 using my old books. Considering going to ww class ;) )
 
Is there currently a Core plan equivalent ??? I was assuming thats what simply filling is ?
:thankyou:
 
I take it everyone is enjoying the new plan too much to be able to remember the old core plan and make any comments :D
 
The post below explains the new Simply Filling plan and as far as I am aware it is basically the old Core plan with some modifications.

Simply Filling Info (Losing and Maintaining) Here's how to follow Simply Filling!

If you attend meetings, you'll find this on page 31 of your red LIVE book you receive in the second week and also in the gold book you get when you're at gold. If/when more information becomes available I (or others) will update this thread with the up to date info. :)

How To Do It?
- Only eating Filling & Healthy foods or those with a ProPoints value of 0. You use your own judgement to decide when you are satisfied and no longer hungry. Do not eat until you are stuffed- this is a sign you have eaten too much. You do not have a daily ProPoints allowance on Simply Filling because of this.

What Are Filling & Healthy Foods?
- These are foods designed to keep you fuller for longer- in your WW literature they are highlighted green or/and have a green ProPoints value icon. Or you can find them here. (SIMPLY FILLING FOOD LIST)

What About Other Food?
- For any ProPointed food or drink (eg: a glass of wine) you still have your 49 weekly ProPoints to spend on luxuries such as these. These are here every week to keep the plan live-able :)

Anything Else I Should Know?
- Yes, you need to include two teaspoons of oil (olive, rapeseed, sunflower, flaxseed, safflower) each day as part of your plan. You do not ProPoint these unless you use more.

- Research has found people following the Simply Filling approach lost as much as weight as those that followed a daily ProPoints allowance.

What About Maintaining As A Gold Member?
- Good news, you can increase your weekly allowance up to 90 ProPoints per week! If you gain on this amount, reduce them until you're no longer gaining or losing but maintaining nicely.

So, What Are Filling & Healthy Days?
- Basically they are the SF plan but designed for a day rather than a week. You can do as many or as little of these a week as you want. It's the same system of eating until satisfied with a different name and a shorter duration.

I hope that helps:)
 
Thanks mini :) That definitely helps, its great to know that they still promote a similar plan in the classes (it wouldnt be worth me joining if there was no talk of it in the class!) - thanks!
 
I have done the core plan in the past and often do simply filling through the week. I find simply filling as good if not better as you have a few more weeklies to use. It's deffo worth a try. X
 
Thanks Becktoria :) I'm going to carry on following the core plan as I have all the books from when I did it previously and I can calculate old points too. However in the next few weeks I may think about rejoining and getting all the info for simply filling. I still get the impression that the propoints is what is pushed more in class and it wouldnt be too useful if all they talked about in class is propoints. I'm still making up my mind, but at least I can carry on with the old plan meanwhile ;)
 
Yep pro points is deffo pushed more but there is a sub forum that is really helpful for advice and recipes etc. there is also lists of all the sf food so you can see how it compares to core.
Best of luck xx
 
:thankyou: Sounds good though, I may have more thoughts about joining when I start to struggle on my own ;)
 
Wow - I'm so pleased I've lost 3lb on this plan this week :D :D :D
 
Thanks - I'm very impressed! Most of the food has been similar to slimming world the only real difference is that I've eaten more extra virgin olive oil, more shreddies and avocados :)
