willbthin, I am trying to fashion a similar plan for myself. I've tried WW in the past, but I don't do well long-term counting points, so then I've switched over to the Simply Filling/Core plan. I like that better, but for me the carb count is still too high. I feel the best on low-carb plans, so I'm trying to devise a plan along the lines of WW Simply Filling but perhaps try to keep more to the low glycemic foods, which are the less starchy foods. It's obvious I'm trying to find a WOE that I can stick to long-term. I'd be happy to compare notes.
