View submission: Does Slimming World make sense?
Slimming World is an eating disorder with extra steps. The whole "free" vs "syns" thing pisses me off immeasurably, and like you say it doesn't teach portion control or sustainable habits.
There's also the fact that a branded food might be "free" while the company has a partnership with SW, then once that partnership is over it magically has "syns"? I believe Mueller is the big one people point to for that one.
The way that people will do water fasts or other disordered behaviour on the eve of a meeting is also terrible as well. The fear around being shamed at weigh-in is mindblowing. That's not good for anyone.

I have battled eating disorders for over a decade and it is not an eating disorder. It is bullshit and corporate marketing designed to pray on the ignorance others, however the behaviour does not mimic an eating disorder in the slightest.
