On the weight watchers diet you must count each item. that is, Cauliflower has so many point, olive oil has so many points and whatever else you add. I can't wait to try this. Love the "mashers" at Houlihans.

You don't count the points for Filling Foods if that is the part of the Momentum plan you are following...& the first 2 tsp. of health oil are not counted as well.

TO CNJ4755: I have been doing WW since Dec and am happy to say I have lost 46 lbs so far. 28 to go. It is my understanding that you EAT filling foods and oil, but you must still COUNT whatever POINTS they are. I always count the points. Check with your leader. Good luck. Helaine
