View submission: Does Slimming World make sense?
"Free" is nearly every vegetable and fruit you can imagine. Anything unprocessed and non calorie dense is usually free (Steaks, Chicken Fillets, Vegetables, Fruits, Rice and yes, believe it or not pasta and potatoes). ''Syns'' misleads us to think they are bad, but in reality they are calorie dense foods or Synergies!. Key to this is that you can eat Syns... just not an unlimited amount. You get an allowance. You can have avocado oil and olive oil too. (I do : ) ) I'm a 58 year old male. I lost 35 pounds in 6 months. I followed the rules while understanding food. Those rules include making sure a third of each meal was a Speed food (which are all very healthy and nutritionally valid vegetables) I was encouraged to exercise which made me reignite my old kung fu training for 1 hour a day and doing 10k steps a day on top. I eat oats and fruit and yogurt and rice and meat and vegetables and sourdough and nuts and all the good stuff. Granted, crisps and chocolate and ice cream are once a week things now I have hit my target and beer is just a few a week, but I wanted to lose weight. A kilo of cooked pasta is something like 1,400 calories, say 2 store bought sandwiches with mayo. But you are probably not going to eat more than 250g of pasta a day, even if you are me! I hope that helps make sense of it. I attend a class in London UK. Full of positive people and a lot of them are losing weight. It isn't for everyone. My mate on the coast has just been counting calories and that worked for him, but actually our 'diets' are very similar, just i seem to have a lot more fibre in mine from all the fruit and vegetables.
There's nothing here!
