Complete Food Companion

[MJLZCOP]

I'm new to WW and I'm doing the Core Program

I purchased the "Complete Food Companion" and am confused.
Someone said that you should only buy the core brands that are listed.
WHY
I always ate Motts Natural no sugar apple sauce.....the book only has Libby's and Mussleman's as core. Can this be right? Why is Motts not core?

Sunkist Tuna core Bumblebee not core

I must not understand this core thing. I thought I did before buying the book.

Would love for someone to clarify this mystery.

It's been my experience that it's best to follow the generic listing in the front of the book that doesn't have the brand names for exactly the reason you mention. :)

Our group leader suggested reading and comparing the lables before shopping, and not being concerned about the brand you do buy. Just check them to see if they are the same thing.

I agree w/ Kahfess.

Also remember that these food companies pay a fee to WW to be listed in their books. Notice all the advetisements in the Food companion and Dining out books? So go by the nutritional ingredients. natural appesauce is natural wheter its the pathmark brand or musselmans.

The only reason the brand names are listed is because they pay the advertising fee....just be sure the check the ingredients to make sure it's core.
