Eliz-
I did WW Core for 3 weeks in January. It's fairly labor intensive, but if you make lots of stews without potatoes. plenty of celery, onion and tomatoes,for example, it tastes great and you keep the carbs lower.

I felt hungry all the time, like I always do on WW. In my particular case, I can now understand that I have to keep a sharp eye on carbs, use plenty of meat and fat. The fat is what satiates and helps with myriad body processes.

I agree with most of what Mom to 3 Boys says. Honestly, I'd stick with Schwarzbein--it's healthier than jettisoning the fats. Who says you can't do a lowish carb version of Schwarzbein?

I can't handle sodas either.
