View submission: Does Slimming World make sense?
I agree to a point, and their cult-like mentality is just bizarre to me, but I think it's beneficial for some people who don't really understand nutrition and struggle to lose weight. Carbs fill you up so you're less likely to go over your calories, I guess? It definitely doesn't work for everyone who take the "free" foods too literally.
Personally, when I've wanted to lose weight, I've been very successful using MyFitnessPal to track my calorie intake, and I try to limit my carbs and increase my protein, so I'll have some carbs to fill me up, and protein to help me feel fuller for longer. Was losing 1-2lb a week doing this. I've put it back on since, but still. It would also allow me to indulge in things I fancied if I had enough calories leftover. I tried to end the day with about 200-300 calories left of my allowance, which wasn't too hard because I'm a big guy (tall and chunky) so my calorie allowance is very generous.
There's nothing here!
