Heh, I came to that conclusion just this morning, and had some chocolate granola ball things with my coffee. Worth it.
I can definitely feel that we've been eating differently this last week, but I am not totally sure whether this is a normal way to feel given the dietary changes (I've had way way less carbs and sugar over the last 5 days) or if I'm not quite eating enough.
There is a woman on WW who has been on it since 2004. She has an instagram feed with tips and tricks to satisfy the hunger and cravings.
What I have been figuring out is that, if I'm craving something I probably need it.
I was wanting a sandwich, with real bread, so I bought some multigrain bread, turkey and other fixings and made a sandwich. I really feel like my body was wanting the bread.
The multi grain bread I bought was 2 points per slice, turkey was 0, if I wanted cheese(I didn't) that would have been a few more points.
The point (no pun intended) is that you can eat anything you want as long as you track and stay within your points. Give in to the cravings if you need to but don't overindulge, but I think you are the sort to fully understand that. AND, your body is different than mine, so you may tweak what you do differently than I do it.
Example of my journey: I've been losing an average of 2 lbs per week. That seems slow but I'm stoked about it and looking forward to the long term impact on my health.
@Coach13 posted about a 1 point per slice bread earlier, but I can't find it out here. I did find another one, that was Italian style, but I don't remember the name at the moment.
We've looked at two of the three Costcos near us and haven't found the bread, so I went on line to see where they are located in our area, only to find there is no distribution in Nevada.

Not that we're craving bread right now, but it would be cool if we find something local with that kind of points and reputation.
Heck, that bread is something
@no edge might even like on his Paleo plan.
