value. For example, 2 tbsp of fat-free italian dressing is zero points; but, a 1/4 cup is 1 point... not zero. See Food companion book for more examples.

I have a question about the food that is 0 points. If it has 0 points does that mean you can have as much of it as you want? BonM

The only zero point foods that are truly unlimited are vegetables. Zero-point vegetables are so fiber dense that you burn more calories eating them than the actual calories in the vegetable. Everything else achieves a point value when the calories/fat/fiber combo cause it to achieve a point value. For example, 2 tbsp of fat-free italian dressing is zero points; but, a 1/4 cup is 1 point... not zero. See Food companion book for more examples.

kashi foods question about 0 point food

or not our bodies process fresh, fiberous (not canned) veggies differently than processed foods. It made a believer out of me. One week, I was maxing out my points each day... but for dinner I had four cups of veggie soup.... I lost five pounds that week... and that was with no exercise. Couldn't do that all the time because it gets real boring; but, when I want a little jumpstart in my weight loss, I'll use the vevggie factor. I figure that it was the combination of the extra water from the soup, the fresh veggies, and that everything was low sodium so there was nothing to cause water retention.... and I felt healthy .... the soup was keeping me 'regular' because of all the fiber... I don't put the carrots in my soup... I substitute the '1 point' carrots with okra which is zero points and the tomato paste with a can of crushed low-sodium tomatoes or tomato puree. I also skip basil/oregano and use cumin instead and lots of garlic... most of the herbs and seasonings I use are thermogenic(sp?)...they kick up the _meta_bolism. I cook a lot with tomatoes, garlic, onions ... sometimes throw okra in. Hub and I love it, the kids seem to have a current aversion to it. <grin But I do love my basil, don't think I could live without it. We do eat a lot of veggies, but I've just always tallied them up ... 'cept on those days when I'm just too darned lazy to figure it all out ... and it does happen. I figure it's better to error on calculations with veggies, than on ice cream. <grin Thanks for your explanation, it does make a lot of sense. Joyce
