I used to be terrified of avocado when I was at slimming world. Now I eat 2 a week and I’m in the best shape I’ve been in for a long time!

They had me TERRIFIED of fat and salt, now avocados, full fat cream cheese and sauerkraut (which uses salt as a preservative) are all regular parts of my diet. I'm still a little overweight but in way better shape than when I was on SW and I'm not constantly filled with anxiety.

They're so good for you! Nobody ever got fat from avocados. My other half has been gaslit by WW/SW for about two decades now so reprogramming her attitudes and instincts to eating has been a long road. Avocados has been a win I'm happy to report!

Can’t stomach avacado. It’s the texture. But I’ll fight the demonisation of them every day.
