WW Core question - breastfeeding

Fandango, 6 August, 2008 at 19:06 Posted on Beauty & Wellbeing 0 2

Hey, I'm stuck and wondered whether anyone might be able to help. I'm currently doing the points plan and get a fantastic 5 points a day extra because I'm still breastfeeding however I've been thinking of switching to the core plan to try and iron out some of my food obsessions (eg "I've got 7 points left today, I neeeeeeeeeeeeeed to eat something" when actually I'm not hungry) Nowhere can I find whether I still get an extra five points a day in addition to the weekly 21 points allowance or not, anyone any ideas?

    You dont get extra points on core, because you can eat unlimited at meal times and then use your points for snacks in between you dont need the extra points. also you can snack on fruit and veg freely without counting so can these to top you up during the day,

    I don't know anything about WW these days, I'm assuming it's changed from when I went (fifteen years ago [eek}) and was told I could have a maximum of 800 calories a day and that I wasn't allowed extra for breastfeeding a newborn as "you'll just lose the weight more quickly"

    Needless to say, I lasted for two days and then passed out with hunger, my friend bought me chips and that was that ?

    I suppose that as long as the plan allows you to eat extra calories, then you'll be fine.

    Omg! thank goodness its changed a lot since then, on points you get extra points (6 a day) if you are breast, but on core as you can eat without limit at meal times until you are full and snack on fruit and veg you dont need the extra points.
