Just joined and am hopeful that the healthy-food based Core will help me.

Here's a question. Is it only whole wheat pasta or brown rice or potatoes
that are limited to just once a day--or *all* starches? In other words, if
for example I have rice with lunch, can I still have oatmeal with breakfast
and/or corn with supper?

Help!?

(and thanks!)

oatmeal and cereals are once a day, that is separate from rice/pasta/potato
you can also have this group once a day, pick from the three, corn seems to
be anytime, Lee

See this is where it's confusing..
in the core list rolled oats (or oatmeal) is considered a core food edible
any time..
I can't understand all the asterisks and all in the core list.
Should't they put a core (free) list and then a once a day list in there?
it makes no sense to me..
(I have never been so confused with a way of eating in my life:)

The only reason I know is because I asked at my meeting. I originally
thought I could have these all in one day but only once a day like potatoes
for lunch and rice at dinner. The leader cleared this up for me. I don't
think I could have tried it if I had not attended meetings, but then I
couldn't have done points without meetings either. I guess my best advice
is for you to get started, try it and if you lose good, if not ask more
questions. best of luck to you, Lee, meeting junkie

Oatmeal (rolled oats) is not once a day. The dry cereals are once a day.
You may choose to have potatoes, whole wheat pasta or brown rice once a
day also.

yeah thats what I thought.. it said Core foods, rollled oats..(oatmeal)
Anyway the other stuff is becoming easier for me. and I found out why I
didn't understand the "log" ..cause I had flex points showing instead of the
core one :) found it!!:)
the only thing I don't like about not journaling tho (I am a former winning
points loser!!:) hehe)
is that I got to keep a tally of my weight loss.. they need to have that
type of "log" in this system
thanks for all the help ya'll
