a world of food!!!
i ahev lost 30lb in less than a year, which doesnt sound much, week by week,but i can now get into store clothes, have eased my arthritis, and can walk for miles again!
i have never eaten so much in m,y entire life, i have spent many years doing faddy diets, and in the process went from a healthy 10 stone to over 14. i decided that my metabolism was wrecked, and that with each diet i would slow my m,etabolism dow, and this would make me gain even mor e weight..and this has been the case over the last 10 years.
But Slimming world is different. You are not told what you cant eat, but rather what you CAN eat, and what you MUST eat.
the list of ''free'' food is massive, you can get up and have an omlette, and a baked potato anda load of fruit, and rice in yoghurt[muller lite]........a tin of heinz macaroni cheese, tin of baked beans ..... and then you can have it all over again.. yes its all free food, you can eat it all without it adding anything to your 'sins'
i found i was initially eating SO much just to see if the diet really did work, i would roast an oven full of parsnips and sinfree chips, [parboiled and then roasted with frylight sprayed on top]...cottage cheese...fromage frais with fruit.......quorn stirfries with loads of low fat yog........tins of currys/saag aloo and rice i boiled myself.....fried eggs....[fried in non stick pan with no fat]
i started to loose weight the first week
i couldnt believe it!
my consultant told me that i hadnt been eating enough in the past and my body was gainign weight to hang onto the nutrition i had been missing out on.

i have stuck with the diet, although i am veggie which means i dont have the 'red 'days,..the red days are rather like that atkinson diet, but with the added health advantage of being able to have and fruit and vegg freely also.[some carbs too]

the clubs are lovely and friendly, you can see that everyone loos
es weight, but NOT every week, often i lost inches but NO weight!
they encourage you to do all your measurements and then use the scales and the tape measure to see how well you are doing
i lost an incredible 12 inches from my midriff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..and according to the scales i hadnt lost that much weight really!
so it is important to measure the first week.
nobody asks to see your measurments however, but everyone gets really excited and enjpoys sharing their weight loss./inch loss.
several ladies have dropped a dress size whilst loosing no weight in that time!!
how it works i really dont know
two men in our group have lost over 6 stones,[each] and their eating has been astronomical, but they take HUGE tuperware pots of pasta salads and ham etc with them when they are at work...they say the key is to be prepared, dont get caught out hungry outside a fast food joint
have enormous lunch with you.

today i am having a really bad eating day.. i want to eat al the time, my stomach rumbles, but i am eating loads of slimming world free food........and i know that years ago a day like this would have been full of cake and choc and guilt and weight gain and sluggishness..but now i am allowed to eat eat eat.
i have a day a week where i can have a drink too. best to stick to sugar free mixers, and spirits measured out... and if you have a blow out..well you can call it a ''flexible sin day'' you can go mad, have your blow otu and say you were allowed it and then get back on the plan as soon as you can.
all is not lost
dont get back into the fast food/ snack sarnie lifestyle, just say you had a party and now you are back to eating like a horse again!!
