View submission: Does Slimming World make sense?
I don't agree with this. My wife has been doing SW for years, had a couple of breaks for child birth but has successfully returned to target afterwards. Mindset is a huge thing and simplifying the ability to recognise what foods are free vs syned makes the choices made easier. We know a lot about nutrition in our household (having a diabetic son sees to that) She also follows the SW community. And you are correct regarding portion control and the individuals that succeed appear to be the ones that are a little more mindful of portion size on top of the guidance of free vs syned. I personally do not follow slimming word but have in the past taken the 1/20 rule for syns (calories divide by 20 = rough syn value) the proper way to calculate actually takes into account the nutritional values of food too. Going on a diet isn't just about the food, it's a change of mindset. Anyone just following a diet for short term gain... Are just going to put the weight back on. I believe that slimming world helps with that mindset change.. Target members also get free membership as long as they stay in target range. I don't have the correct mindset for it (and my waistline will attest to that) but I just wanted to highlight, if you want it to work.. And have the perseverance to make it actually work, it works
