Advantages: Easy to follow

Disadvantages: costs to join a group

Like many woman, I am yet again on a diet. Although this time I have ditched the idea a fad diet, or just healthy eating, and am following the Slimming World diet.

On this diet there are three days that you can follow:
Green day - which is where you are allowed as much carbohydrates (not bread) as you like but limited dairy and protein.
Red day - which is where you are allowed as much protein as you like, but limited dairy and carbs.
Extra easy - which is a little bit of both

I hope it doesn't sound too confusing because when you are doing it, it is simple to follow.

There are slimming world groups that you can attend, but I find that £5 a week is a little expensive so just follow the diet from home using books my mum owns. If you don't know anyone with some spare books you can buy them on websites such as Amazon or Ebay. Also, the Slimming world website has a recipe archive that is accessible to everyone, the rest of the site however can only be accessed if you are a member and attend groups. Although these are available I do realise that if you are a person that needs help to get motivated then joining a group would be a good idea.

I like slimming world as I do believe it is a change in your eating habits that is easy to keep up, not just while you loose weight but to help you maintain afterwards. There is no weighing or counting, just simply thinking about what you are eating.

Slimming World does work, I think everyone knows someone who has a success story.

Summary: A change in eating habits rather than a diet
