KrisD 10 Posted February 12, 2012 Thanks to Hanna, I've re-embraced the avocado (Reading her blogs....stalking her meals). It's my new go-to breakfast food--half an avocado (5 PP) smushed onto a toasted whole wheat English muffin (3 PP or a filling food). That's it. Fast and filling and delicious and satisfying. Â The week that I did this every single day, I lost 4 lbs. Then I ran out of avocados and muffins, and was bad about getting in a good breakfast. The weight loss stalled. Â Oh happy day! Avocados were on special at the market--I have avocados again! No power in the 'verse can stop me.

crescentbeachzoo 17 Posted February 12, 2012 I'll have to skip over to Hanna's blog. I've been avoiding avocados like the plague since starting WW, yet before WW I loved them. Thanks for the breakfast idea, Kris. Linda... just don't quit! Ever! Â Â Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrisD 10 Posted February 12, 2012 Ha, Linda, there must be tons of foods we've all avoided in the name of the plan! Â When I first started WW on the exchange plan (in 1989 ish??) I stopped eating green peas, because they were a starch. Good lord, but I missed peas! (I actually did very well on that version of the plan.) No power in the 'verse can stop me.

Super Bowl XLI 10 Posted February 12, 2012 For a treat, I have been putting avocado on some of my turkey or veggie burgers. It's yummy. And, it's a healthy fat that slows digestion making you feel full longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrisD 10 Posted February 13, 2012 ooooh I love an avocado burger! Such a good idea! No power in the 'verse can stop me. Â Â SW:231 (12/30/11) CW:223.5 (-7.5 lbs) First goal: 5% (219.5) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadowhawk2020 0 Posted February 29, 2012 We have been lucky in my area, a bunch of people grow their own avacados and sell them on the side of the road.

Peg541 10 Posted March 2, 2012 I consider avocado the candy of the weight watcher. I have at least 1/4 almost every day and lose fine. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheryl39 1 Posted March 20, 2012 I know they can make a veggie burger taste better (that and hot sauce) Â Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abcmom23 10 Posted April 1, 2012 I just read in First for women magazine that women who eat 1/2 avocado a day lost 10 lbs in 2 months without counting calories. Of course we still count the points...but it sure couldn't hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bridcoop 10 Posted June 10, 2019 I love avocados, too, and was surprised at their high point count. I see that I can still enjoy them, just in moderation. Thanks for the tips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
