That info on 3 fat chicks is incomplete... I've got a few more details...
There is a list of core foods (and the plan, as I've known it, is called "Core Foods"). The list does include the things they listed on that site, but also more... like meats... I don't know the complete list, but one of my best friends, Carrie, was a leader (before she just moved out of the country) and divulged basic info to me about the plan after it was introduced to her and other leaders a few months ago.
Leaders were asked to test the program and she was very skeptical at first (which is the reason why she told me things about the plan even though she was sworn to secrecy... incidentally, she swore me to secrecy too, but I figured that since there's already some partial info out here and since the new plan starts in 2 days, I figured it was ok to share what I know...). But Carrie became convinced of the new plan's merits after she saw some great weight losses on it (and she was a girl that was sort of plateu-ing).
So here's what I know: you get the list of Core Foods, and you can eat any of those foods
as much as you need to make you full. That's the big point about the new program, and the part that made Carrie the most nervous. The new program will work, but only if you watch your portion sizes. If you want to eat a food that's not on the Core Foods list, you still get 35 Flex Points for the week, and you can spend those Points on non-Core foods (and yes, bread is not a Core Food, so if you have a sandwhich, you'd have to count the bread Points but not the lunch meat). It sounds at first like WW went low-carb, but I think they're leaning more towards a South Beach/whole foods way of thinking rather than an Atkins. I think this plan will appeal to people who weren't keen on the counting Points, but it's important that, if they're new to dieting, they learn portion sizes at the same time... (I can totally see my dad eating a whole huge steak that's about 4 serving sizes and still believing he's sticking to his diet.)
I'm not sure how I'll like the plan... I've been very sucessful with counting Points and right now, it looks like I'd be giving up some foods with Core Foods that I really like (or spending my Flex Points on them... but I'm thinking I'll be very stingy with those). On the other hand, Carrie found when she started the new plan, that she could order things at restaurants that she'd never thought of ordering before (like steak) because they were Core Foods and now she wasn't spending Points on them. So the prospect of incorporating some new foods into my repetoire is kind of excitng. WW is offering a choice, so if you try the new plan out and it's just not for you, then you can go back to Points (though I bet all the new material will just be for Core Foods and that will probably be the only plan they teach to new members).
Anyway, I just thought I'd share what I know. We'll all get all the details starting Sunday, so it's not too long a wait.
