View submission: Does Slimming World make sense?

The wording isn’t great, a lot of people will fixate on words like “free food” and eat a shit ton of pasta or potato as a result. You can’t eat that much and still expect to lose weight but that’s on SW for the wording.

I’ll admit that I like Slimming World though, it works well for me. Started last June and am 6 stone down already. I’m strict with it though and only eat what I need but I hear plenty of stories from people justifying eating junk and then wondering why they don’t lose weight.

Edit: Just wanted to add something as I’ve seen a few comments here along the lines of SW being pointless and to just move more and eat less. Yes to the last bit but SW does genuinely help some of us. It gives you a starting point which is a big thing, they literally give you a book with good guidance and suggestions plus access to thousands of recipes. It helps get you started when your journey feels overwhelming. Some people won’t need that and that’s great but some of us benefit from a bit of hand holding at the start!
