    I don't know, seems like people focus on the free fruit and veg but if I'm not mistaken your meant to eat till no longer hungry.

    I imagine if you ate fruit and veg till you are no longer hungry, for most that wouldn't be a massive amount. On top of the food you would eat that cost points.

    So it's not a eat 30kg of carrots and turn orange plan. It's a if your hungry have some fruit or veg instead of cake or a hotdog plan.

    I did WW for a year because my insurance fully reimbursed me for the online membership. The points system took way more effort to track than MFP does. The only good thing that came out of WW online was the forums. They are supportive and pretty informative (but always do your own research) at times. There are more weight-loss focused forums there than here for sure. So I'll stick with MFP for food tracking, and the MFP forums for fun and the WW forums for support.

    I was on WW for several years (got to goal and then quit smoking; gained it all back and then some) and just quit within the last 2 months. The minimum fruit and vegetables is 5 per day and you're to eat them "to satisfaction," not full. I know I only had 2 fruit servings a day (1 fruit serving is 1/2 cup), but plenty of salads and other no-point vegetables. When you're assigned a daily point value, they take the "free" fruit and vegetables into consideration.

    While I was used to the point-value of most of the foods I ate and didn't consider it difficult, I just felt the need to get away from it for a while, so came to MFP.
