You take the test to find out your daily points. You must eat those points every day. People who try to cut them out many time find they don't lose, so eat them all. You also get 35 flex points every week (they are a part of the plan). You should play around with them. Eat a few every day. Save some for the weekend. Some people lose better when they eat them all, some don't. Find what works for you. You earn activity points when you workout (there's a calculator but I go with the 100 calories burned = 1 activity point theory). You can eat those points too. The more you eat while losing, the more you can eat to maintain your weight (that's a good thing). So start with eating more and if you aren't losing you can cut points down. If you start by eating too little points, you won't have much to cut out. You basically need to play around with them to see what works for you and your body. Also watch processed foods, they tend to have more sodium. Good luck!
