Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / October 2006Point Question
Morning gang .... My DW bought some bread yesterday and I need to double check my math and possibly my understanding. Natures Own Double Fiber Wheat grams: 5 calories: 40 fat:1 = 0 Is this possible for bread? If so what would be the break point of where I would start counting? Thanks Ralph Is this for 1 slice or 2? Dawn:) > Morning gang .... > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Ralph Oops,,sorry bout that.

You never want to just add up the points for multiple servings, you always want to add up the values (calories, fat g, Fiber g) and use your point finder (or calculator) all over again. Remember that the fibers are capped at 4. So no matter how many servings, you never count more than 4 grams of Fiber. That is if you follow the current US program, I'm not sure where you are. Hope I'm making sense.. first coffee ;op Will~ > Morning gang .... > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Ralph Thanks Will That makes perfect sense.

That's where a lot of people get confused. Some vegetables, that vegetable soup, FF broth, are free foods. No matter how many cups of lettuce you eat, it's free, 0 pts. Can you eat enough lettuce to gain weight? Probably, but it would take an enormous ammount, who on earth would do that? It's disgusting to even think about! There are 0 pts foods. Those are the foods that end up being 0 pts on the slider/calculator. Those will be 0 pts for one serving, but not necessarily for two, or 3 servings. Those foods you have to figure the points for multiple servings. There are several tortillas on the marquet that are 0 pts for one.. breads, fruit snacks... They can be good choices, but they do add up after a while... Will~ > makes sense, like my rye bread then, Lee >> 1 serving is 0 pts, two serving is 1 pts.

Who's the one with the problem? Not the people succeeding on WW losing weight by counting points. Maybe the one who can't seem to read that this is a WW based group? What's wrong? Is real life so bad that you have to go online to harass others who were miding their own business and make yourself feel better? Gee, I hope it worked out for you because you appear to be in such sad straits that you need some sort of help with your issues.

Well, I for one am doing very well on the Points system. I have come down from 210 to 186 in just a couple of months. The only reason I inquired about the bread was becasue I was trying to find a way to put it back in my diet without guilt and 1 or 2 pts is almost "no guilt" and very do-able. As for the old Calorie calc. routine, ... been there, done that, and it is so unsatisfying.... Point system lets me eat something I really should not eat on a regular calorie diet, and lets me change that days eating to fit in the no-no food like pizza. If I know that I am going to eat something like pizza, I can eat 0 pt foods and low pts food like oatmeal or something all day up to "pizza time" Just works for me.... "Pizza time is not something I do on a regular basis but sometimes you just need to feed yourself something you really love. This is the only diet that has ever worked for me since I got over 45. I must confess that I am getting sick of oatmeal but eating it for breakfast holds my appatite alarm at bay for much longer than other breakfast food; and this lets me enjoy more pts for dinner which is my downfall since I have to cook for my hubby and always end up eating "just a little" which might take me over my pts if I ate a heavier breakfast. Gosh, I didn't think I set out to write a novel..... ...............Windy try adding some different flavors to your oatmeal, cinnamon, or some splenda brown sugar, or some cool fruit like raisins or blueberries, might be a point or so more but might kill the boredom, Lee > > You guys might be better getting off the 'point system' > > Learn to use calories/fat to plan you eating.
