I ban Mike to express confusion. Didn't men get the same # of points as women on the basic points system introduced about ten years ago? Are you sure you weren't a lactating mother at the time?
I'm liking the new system. It's sort of zone-y. I am eating way more meat/fish than I used to. I think it works for my body. Also, the online journal is fantastic.
It's kind of a weird switch, because beans, which are very good for you, used to be 3.5 points per can, despite the fact that that's almost 400 calories (as opposed to a tablespoon of butter, which was 3 points and 100 calories).
Now, a can of beans is 10 points. I feel like beans got a free ride before, and now they are being overly penalized.
