weight watchers plan

Hi...I am on the weight watchers points plus program. They require you to use 2 tsp of oil, almond, olive etc each day. I think this tends to upset my colitis? Any thoughts? Thanks!

You are right, coconut oil is not considered one of the "healthy" oils on WW, though I do use it and love it.

If the oils are causing you a problem, then I would say to just skip them. They are part of the 9 healthy guidelines which are just that...guidelines. If part of that doesn't work for you, especially for health reasons, then you need to adjust the plan to meet your needs.

I think you should substitute with whatever fat you can tolerate. Calories are the same, just that the fat is more saturated. I wouldn't worry too much about abiding by that guideline.
