Why I stopped being a Slimming World Consultant & started Calorie Counting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 бер 2021
- This is probably the top question I've been asked since leaving Slimming World in August 2020, after nearly 2.5 years as a consultant running multiple franchises. Why leave that and then start calorie counting and launching the Busy Bitch Diet.
Please note: as I say in the video, if Slimming World or other weight loss plans are currently working for you - then that's amazing. This is about finding what works best for you, my personal experience and the reason made the swap. Slimming World does work for a lot of people, but I also know there's other people who, like me, may struggle and maybe this video might help.
I think that once you've done calorie counting, you can never go back to Slimming World or Weight Watchers as it seems so ridiculous.
I'm with you on that, I'm never going back. Certainly the thing I hear the most is that those who've made the switch, when they get their heads around all the things they've been told in the past and truly started calorie counting they love the flexibility, control and being able to make choices which work for them and their families
@@busybitchdiet1007 I once read 'Slimming World is a perfectly reasonable plan....if you know absolutely nothing about nutrition'!!
@@suantoniades5743😂
I started calorie counting still at slimming world being ally 20 syns per day. I lost 3lbs BUT had double syns and still lost. I feel more in control in calorie counting knowing how well I’ve done on a daily basis.
Thanks for the video x
I've just done the same ...slimming going to slimming world to weigh in ....calorie counting is so much better for me
I followed SW for many years, I could lose weight but never quite get to target or maintain, I worked with covId all through lockdown and put on 4 stones through stress, the thought of eating slimming world food again makes me want to vomit, doing it for so long has put me off certain foods, doing nutracheck now and it feels so much better (and cheaper) 🌈🌈🌈🌈
Oh honey, I'm sorry to hear you've struggled with the stress, but you're absolutely not alone. If you're in need of any additional support and community, then let us know I have a few members who were using nutracheck and still use the app but use us for the amount of calories they need, the support and community. I'm just about to launch a managing stress eating challenge in June - kicks off 7th June x
Really interesting. I've recently switched and not because SW didn't work for me but I didn't want to be as restricted as I was. Watching others and seeing the things they were eating and they were getting amazing losses!
You've done so well🥰
Thank you
I know it is easy to go under or over what you need, but this menu as described is not fully on plan because you are supposed to have one third of your plate as speed food (very low calorie) which makes it impossible to fit half a pack of spaghetti, half a pack of mince, or the extra spud on your plate, unless you were eating from a bin lid. Only the oats meal was "fully on plan" . Customers are also advised to eat until they are satisfied, not eat all they can.
I have lost 8stone during 2020 lockdown by calorie counting. I’m now learning how to maintain which is trickier than I thought but I will keep this weight off if it kills me ! I’ve just subscribed.
Summer that's an epic achievement, you must be so proud. Maintaining your loss is the toughest because it requires long term changes. However, keep in mind your weight naturally fluctuates a bit day to day, week to week. There are also times where you'd expect to gain a bit - holidays, Christmas, celebrations - the key is knowing that at any time when you've have a gain you can drop your calories down again and get the weight off. It's looking at maintaining over a longer time
@@busybitchdiet1007 Absolutely right, I weigh daily just to keep an eye and the number bouncing up and down doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Most people who have regained weight all seem to follow the same mistake of stopping weighing themselves and not tracking. I’ve accepted I will need to do both long term if I want to be slim. I’ve stopped whining about how “ you only have one life , it’s not fair I should be able to have what ever I want all the time “ etc etc. Yep one life but I want it to be a longer one with less health issues being 8 stone lighter !
I went to a slimming world consultant and said surely I couldn’t eat all the pasta potatoes and rice I wanted. I could see her struggling with the answer,finally she said 7 Oz jacket potato, 75 gm pasta and rice. One third of the plate with protein a third carbs and a third veg,remember to look at the size of the plate and only use the middle of the plate not the rim which is for holding it to take to the table! But that wasn’t what she said collectively in class! I am now calorie counting having tried keto, ugh,Weight Watchers and slimming world 3 times prior to speaking to the truthful consultant. I believe that way will be more effective.
Totally agree with you ! Slimming world works if you have a lot of weight to loose but I am 7lb off target and stopped loosing on slimming world as I was eating too many calories and I only have 1300 cals to maintain with my body now so with the slimming world plan I was eating to many calories to loose weight and I was blaming me when it was the plan that hadn't been altered to suit my body ! I think a lot of people are questioning this now ! When I switched to calorie counting the weight came off !
Excellent video thank you so much. I am on My fitness pal and feel so much better having control over what I eat within my calories. Look forward to your videos in future 👌
Control is essential and knowledge is power. I'm doing some more videos so will be posting them soon ❤
Love this. Someone saw the light and spoke out. Never believed this plan as never worked for me. Tried Cc 2yrs agon lost 4.5stone and keeping it off!! Cc works no going back. Honest review here. Love it.
Great video. Thanks for posting!
Enjoyed this and totally get it. During lockdown, at home, most definitely less active, boredom setting in, cooking (from SW books) and eating more. When I say eating more I mean eating more free food, still weighing and measuring healthy extras and syns. Weight started to increase and I soon realised that to maintain that weight I had to really restrict. This in turn led to guilt and totally disordered eating. In the past I would have blamed myself not the plan but it's sheer idiocy to believe that all those extra cals don't count. No weighing, no measuring, no counting is a myth. Thank you for sharing. You have a new subscriber.
Thank you Olive for your comment and honesty. You're not alone in your experience. I ran groups through lockdown 1 and a lot of my members struggled, I struggled - that's what got me into thinking I was missing something and retraining and since then I've gone on to lose 4 stone and have never felt happier or healthier in myself and with my relationship with food and weight loss. It's amazing the power of one small change x
Thank you soooo much for making this video. When I was doing slimming world and I lost about stone but I was eating only speed food. The minute I started to eating on plan like they said … I would not lose weight or gain. Now I am on calorie counting, I am losing weight and I get it! I know that when I stick to my calories …. I will lose weight and I am exercising too
Really enjoyed this thank you 🙏🏻 😊
Thank you Emma x
OMG, I’m so glad you did this. I too was a SW consultant who didn’t lose weight and was 💯 and knew that I was saying that if you followed the plan you should lose weight just wasn’t working. So when I left due to health reasons and my mobility became non existent I continued to follow the plan as a member 💯 and actually gained because I was never in deficit.
I loved SW but it no longer served me. So I’ve now downloaded the nutra check app and loosely follow fast800: Thank you for this vlog 💕
Good luck with your new journey. Thanks for the comment. If you need any help, you know where we are ❤
If your entire experience is just telling people to stick with it and see what happens then you weren't a very good consultant to begin with
Having studied nutrition prior to joining slimming world I think the thing that people forget is slimming world is teaching us the better options for our bodies the more fuel like foods rather than calorie counting as calorie counting tends to make people more restrictive of what they eat and they will be more likely to fall off… slimming world is long term you can’t calorie count your whole life or just until you get to where you want or you will just end up putting the weight back in quickly afterward.
Overall weight loss is calories in vs calories out but surely you would rather over eat on something knowing it’s doing good for the body 🤷🏽♀️
Great video, I also have had a light bulb moment and have been calorie counting and its working. I am only small and dont have a lot to lose so I found I was going easily over calorie hence losing 2lb in 5 months. Been with nutra check for 4 weeks and opened my eyes that free food is not free. Its messed up how I look at food. Learning to relook at food in a healthier way. Hope you will carry on with these vlogs.
I'm so pleased for you. It definitely is a more flexible way of losing weight at one which encourages you to look at portions and all foods, not just a selected few. Good luck on the rest of your journey
I have gained weight since starting the menopause and my doctor has advised me use the NHS weight loss programme
I haven’t started it yet as I have never counted calories in my life, not even sure where to start.
This was very interesting thank you so much xx
Honestly don't worry it's not as scary as it sounds. Start with one meal, track it and then start looking at the things you have most regularly. You'll get into the swing of it. With menopause there is the perception you can't lose weight, you absolutely can, but you may need some additional support too - it's not ever as simple as one plan suits everyone. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to reach out
Ive been in slimmers world 3 times over almost 30 years. Its taken me a long time to realise the plan affected my relationship with food. I'd overeat on free food just because I was allowed rather than thinking "I'm not hungry I won't eat anything or I'm full now I'll stop" I'd eat treats I didn't even really like because they were low in syns and you better believe I ate every single syn I was allowed in a day whether I wanted it or not. I'd also fast before a weigh in and then the day after I'd have a "cheat day". I realise people can follow sw without developing those problems but for me learning how to calorie count and understanding a little more about nutrition has been the way to go.
Hi Cat, thank you for your comment, I definitely think you're not alone in the habits you developed - I've heard many similar ones. The regular cheats or bingeing because you've gone over your syns and blown it (or believe you've blown it), eating random things because they're free, eating more than you need just because you can. I'm so pleased you've found something that works for you with your weight loss and your wellbeing - our mental health is just as important as our physical health or weight x
Thank you so much for this
Thank you ❤
I did SW about 5 years ago but soon after joining I realised that I wasn’t loosing weight and immediately switched to using Nutracheck I then went on to lose 4 stone SW has always been a bonkers weight loss plan I would ask my consultant at the time, why if I’m on plan why isn’t it working and she would say do an SP day, no wonder they introduced that as part of the plan, of course because it will reduce calorie intake I’m now a ambassador for Nutracheck and I’m glad I’ve help others see that SW is an awful plan, it teaches overeating for people that are already consuming way to much that’s why they’re going to a diet club for help in the first place But in fact it’s the worst for helping people really see that education is key, and when you’re paying for the wrong kind of education it’s not the members fault xxx
Hi Debbie, huge congratulations on your weight loss. Yeah it's frustrating when you ask and you don't get the help you need. It's not a case of not wanting to, it's more that you're only allowed and able to talk about the plan, as it is in your packs. SP wouldn't always work for everyone and felt so restricted a lot of people hated it in my groups. Keep doing what you're doing and sharing that there is another way x
I'm now using my Fitbit calorie calculator and it's brilliant. I cooked meals for my family with slimming word recipes and they loved them but like you say , unlimited carbs wasn't working for me . I'm just about to have my dinner of two burgers, no bread and home made chips yum . Good luck and I will be following you thanks.
I love the sound of your dinner - as long as you're ensuring the calories are working for you it doesn't matter where the recipes come from. My family would like some, but definitely not most of their recipes - the use of quark was always a no ;)
I tried SW and put weight on .Then I started calorie counting the SW meals .Omg it was off the scale .But it works for a lot of people but sadly not me . Calorie counting definitely works for me . Keep going if it's working tho .😊
This is very interesting. 😊People loose weight though on slimming world. But yes I left due to food anxiety, syns are stupid. Going out for a meal also was dreadful. Calorie counting I chill a bit more now. Eat healthy, but also not obsessing😊Jess x
Totally makes sense x
Thank you
Great video thanks so much,very informative 👍BTW I've just subscribed to your channel x
Thank you ❤
Totally agree 100 million trillion % It’s basic science, eat less move more. That’s it 🤷🏻♀️
I watched another lady on UA-cam recently saying more or less the same,everyone has different calorie needs and sometimes we are eating to much...I was a WW consultant 8years ago for only a year, terrible company to work for,I have also been at slimming world recently but like you about to embark on calorie counting instead....And hopefully save money as well hahaha
I find CC is more flexible and yes cheaper too - because in my case I'm buying stuff that works for the whole family rather than stuff for me and stuff for others. I also love that I'm in control of the information and making the choices rather than trying to decipher and follow someone else's version of getting a calorie deficit hidden behind points or syns and not knowing how to make a more informed choice without being reliant on them
New to your channel, found that interesting, I also went from SW to CC and yes I was eating so much but enjoying it now and seeing a slow loss but a better loss if that sounds right x
Hi Jacqueline, that sounds about right. My average over the past year has been around 1lb a week, but that's got me 4 stone off in a year and I'm good with that. Good luck with your weight loss x
@@busybitchdiet1007 Thanks xx
This is an interesting video and I have subscribed.
Thank you for subscribing
Hi , this was so interesting to me as a yo-yo dieter (every diet) for 20+ years and still huge ! I’m looking to join you online I think !
Crazy I did SW and it began not working and like you looking at the calorie intake it was never going to work with the "free food" I was allowed to eat!!!! My life has changed since calorie counting never looking back 😁👏
Love this, well done x
My friend has lost 21lb in 7 weeks on SW and eats none stop! I'm talking massive lunches and stuff. I however don't eat as much as her, I'm within a sensible deficit and can't get more that 1lb off as a mean number. I'm upset and frustrated. I'm convinced my friend is taking something and not declaring it as her losses are 3.5 and 4lb every single week without fail. 😒
Enjoyed this .. At Last, people are realising it's about the calories ... that is all x
Thank you, It's about knowing what your body needs and being in control of making those decisions and calories is the easiest way to both know what you need and make sure you're getting it
Hey , how are you getting on with the calorie counting? 🌼
Thank you. I’ve joined SW and then quit because it doesn’t work so so many times. I blamed myself that I didn’t do it right. I struggled with speed food because no one in my house will eat those things which left me with food waste. I tried to clamp down and stop coming up with my own ideas and only eat what I found on the app or in the hundreds of £ I spent on cookbooks. Again, leaving me with food waste. And it didn’t work. It never worked. I’d get tiny losses and then gains and then losses. And the only way I’d lose is to COUNT and then tell lies in group about how I was on plan which left me feeling bad for lying and worrying about being exposed. So I’d quit, AGAIN. And the doubt I’d feel in what others were saying in group left me feeling like a big fat grump. I’d come away thinking, that 5lb loss you got, you just didn’t eat. Don’t lie that you ate nothing but pasta dishes and hundreds of yogurts. Ha. And sitting there clapping for losses knowing when it was your turn you’d hear the awww what can you do next week to get a result. I’d be like, starve because I was 100% on plan. Only to be told, you must have had too many syns. Errrm no, I had too many potatoes! 😡 But anyway, I’m so happy to hear of someone else that says it didn’t work for them. My friend got to target. It works for her. I was so jealous and hid my feelings from her. And she is my friend, I shouldn’t have to do that. Not to mention telling her lies about what I was doing to get results. Quitting freed me from stress and guilt. I still struggle but now I know it’s because i made bad choices that week and not because I’m a failure. Will definitely follow you because it’s great to find someone that understands the struggle. Thank you again.
Good video. Thanks for posting.. When calorie counting you realise which foods keep you full and which don't. For me.. Eggs or a big salad. Low cal, don't need to eat for 8 hours after.. Nutrient rich, the pounds fall off
Where do you get the calorie diet
Very interesting, you have me food for thought 😅, excuse the pun😁I was doing SW, a good few years back, I stopped and started like 3 times, one of the times I lost quite abit and was happy and I stopped, then started again but just wasn't able to follow through, just gave up, but then of course I slowly put on again, and have been thinking about going back or doing the calorie count, Ive heard alot about it on YT, my worry is isn't it overwhelming to keep counting every little thing u put on your plate, even the salads, I love food, and I don't want to be deprived or even worse, feel hungry after I've just eaten🙄and I love my naughty snacks between meals 🤔 that's why I think SW was so appealing when u were told you can eat unlimited carbs, and meats (trimmed of fats), but you make a good point, you have really made me think😕👍
There are loads of ways to make CC easier and quicker. Very quickly you get into the routine of tracking and it takes no longer than tracking on the SW app or writing a food diary - you just get a lot more information which is usable and means something ❤
Thanks you
Are you setting something up with videos on You Tube. I had a look at your video list - what are your plans now - keep the videos up to date or is this a one off thing with You Tube?
Hi Anne, I am aiming to do more and more videos as I go along adding them on here, Instagram and Facebook. Is there anything specific you'd like me to cover?
I do calorie counting but with Sw as it is healthy eating; Slimming world does say at the start of book says every thing in moderation. If I'm on plan I come out at 1200 calories
So I’m doing SW but this time I’m coming from a CC mindset. I’m intermittent fasting until lunch and then having a super free lunch and some fruit (nothing overboard), my ‘free food’ (rice, pasta) I’m still weighing to ensure I don’t go crazy. I portion out food…if it says it serves 4 then that’s what I do…I make 4 portions. If it says that it’s free, I take that as it’s low calorie so it’s ok to have a rationed portion of it. I drink mainly water, black coffee and the occasional sugar free squash. I stay relatively low on the syns front (between 1-5).
Congratulations on your weight loss.
Thank you
It’s quite an eye opener isn’t it! Although I would say you missed your third of speed 😂
I have found all the people I used to watch on sw have now changed to calorie counting and getting the losses they want, I joined up to ww for a change but finding it seems to be a us based thing so over there they get the things that are lower in points, most youtubers are in the US and use things we can't get over here which is disappointing, just curious after your change did you not find you was always hungry then because it is a big calorie difference, I seen what calories are in the sw full breakfast and thought I cant do this I don't have enough calories, so how did you get past the hunger x
Thanks for the comment, I actually find I am less hungry on CC and I don't feel the need to binge either because I'm easily able to add in the things I want without the pressures of points. WW is a US company, although they do have a lot of UK members too. In terms of hunger, I'm able to make the calories work for me, choosing whether I want more protein, or carbs depending on what I need. I also find I snack less, just because it's free as such. For me, I enjoy being able to have the freedom to eat the foods which work for me and my family and I stretch the calories I have to enable me to not feel hungry x
@@busybitchdiet1007 yes I'm thinking of trying calorie counting only thing it sometimes I eat something and forget to point it
I’ve looked at Slimming World diet and have thought how can you have as much of you like of free food. Calories do count.
Pls can you like the nutrition course you did
My mum did really well at slimming World a few years ago, but unfortunately put the weight back on when she stopped. I could never get my head around it, and never managed to stick to it for even 1 week.
Hi Gem, thanks for the comment. I too have met people who've done really well, I was a consultant to a lot who did well - I can't deny that. I have also met a lot who struggled without knowing why, those who got to target and never managed to sustain it and those who just never got on with it from the start. For me, I personally prefer calorie counting, I love the flexibility it gives me along with enabling me to feel in control of the choices I'm making. I also accept different things work for different people and sometimes different things work at different times for people and that's ok too x
Thanks. Great video! 👍
I also think the our lifestyles play a huge part, I lost 5 stone (I have put 1.5st back on) in six months (I am a man, also), but I went from eating everything all day to basically cooked chicken for lunch, mugshot as a snack etc, like not proper meals but tbh I am very lazy and do not cook so I was happy eating like that, but I was going to the gym ALL the time! So if I ate more (and I never did SW properly, like 80%) I would continue to lose weight, however when I met my partner all we did was walking so we would be going to buffets all the time and I would still lose weight, and I mean some days we would walk 10 miles and this was quite a normal thing so I was eating awfully but I was still losing weight. We now live together and both work FT and honestly I struggle so much, I keep binge eating and I have no idea where that comes from and definitely do not do the exercise we once did, barely leave the house a lot of the time! Now my mum has lost doing CC, she cannot do SW (for the reasons you describe in your video) and she’s doing extremely well. Now I just cannot do it, I’m too much of an eater and I think it’s that element of SW that I like, where I would eat less than CC, because I find with CC I eat all my calories too early and then I’m starving in the evening and then think f**k it, I’ve failed, I’ll binge which obviously explains the weight gain. Really this is just my observation and totally not a criticism, more at myself. I think like for me at least it’s still having that control, and I find with CC you can have anything, but I think that can be a detriment to some, especially me as like I said I’ll eat all my calories too early, but on SW I wouldn’t do that. Really good video though!!
I switched from SW (lost 3.5 stone with SW) to CC about 5/6 weeks ago and I haven’t lost anything and I was wondering if you had any advice that could help me. I calculated my deficit on many different websites and they’re all round about the same 1650-1700 calories so I’ve been eating 1700. I weigh everything and add it to myfitnesspal and workout 5x a week but still nothing. It’s frustrating, I know I must be doing something wrong but I can’t figure out what
HI lovely I'd love to help you. It's hard to tell from just seeing calories what may be getting in your way. Can I ask you join me for 14 days completely free at busybitchdiet.com then you'll be able to use our calculator and I'll be able to see all the info. You're welcome to cancel when the 14 days is over, no obligation to stay, but it would help me to know more. My guess, without further info, is you're either not getting enough of a deficit, or you're not getting enough fuel as such. You're also welcome to email me through the website contact page with more info too, so I can help. Thanks, Kat
Exactly!
I had no education regarding the importance of the inclusion of protein which I have found out is VITAL to fat loss.
Also weight loss does not equal fat loss.
Needless to say I left. I am now inches down after joining a gym, increasing protein and resistance training.
I am doing calorie counting....I think Slimming World make it complicated just so you can't go it alone.
How do I follow your journey 💙
Always hit proteins. And yes…..it IS definitely CICO. Energy balance rules.
I'm definitely more conscious of my protein intake and making sure I balance my calories in and calories out to ensure I get a deficit. Balance is everything and being able to see what you're doing and feel in control
I could never understand why you had to sun a cooked banana in a pancake or blitzed in a smoothie but was free to eat as a banana , surely the calories don’t change however you eat it and once you chew a banana isn’t that almost blitzing it, I have done SlimmingWorld before and lost weight but a a very slow pace
I now do calorie counting via MyFitnessPal a
Hi Sally, thanks for the comment. The argument at SW was once it's blitzed it reduces the effort by your body to process it. Now there may or may not be some science in that somewhere, however the difference in calories is so tiny, the banana is still going to be around 85 calories. It's similar to the dried v fresh pasta - a portion of one is 340 ish calories, as is the other - one is free, one isn't and is a lot in comparison but both have the same calories.
Was WW and after YEARS I’m now calorie counting with Nutra calories
After YEARS of yo-yo dieting… (I’ve done WW and SW over the years… I always found I lost for a bit then plateau… The “diets” and they are fad diets, simply because they are not sustainable and/or flexible as they seem… During the lockdowns I put all my weight back on plus more! So I actually counted the calories whilst doing sw and found that I was in actual fact consuming a lot of calories!!!… So I’m back to square one, but I’ve learnt that this time, I need to find my own way, and concentrate more on exercising and being in a calorie deficit, which means that if I want a normal sized slice of white bread 🍞 I can have it! 😂 x
Thanks for sharing. I've just joined Slimming World and still not sure about it!
I'm a firm believer of you need to do what works for you, what feels right and what you can consistently keep doing. Consistency is the most important thing along with getting results which are nudging you towards your target ❤
My only fear here is that I am a junk food eater so instead of using my calories on proper food I would straight ahead go to, chocolate, crisps and wine for example, watched this because I too seem to have come to a standstill with slimming world
That's why I have stopped slimming world cause I stopped losing but I struggle to stick with my calories I think it's cause im used to doing slimming world
Hi Rachel, I absolutely feel you. Switching out of SW mindset and into CC can take a while because everything you thought was free you suddenly realise isn't and is higher in calories that you've almost been led to believe. Where possible you almost need to start from scratch, forget everything you learned at SW and start again. The most important meal to track is dinner, so start there and plan the rest of your day. If I can help in any way let me know - you're welcome to get my support free for 14 days inside busybitchdiet.com
@@busybitchdiet1007 thanks so much x it's been 6 weeks now and I seem to be great for 4-5 days of the week then go over by a lot . I think I should have had few weeks of before going to calorie counting to give my brain a rest
PS I wasn’t eating enough calories on WW now I’m loosing steadily
Do slimming world along side My fitness pal !! Win / win !! Enter everything u put in your mouth tally up at end of day !!
Also a suggestion apple cider vinegar aids weight loss & bloat low salt as it helps with water retention. ...
Hi Tracy, I'm meeting more and more people who are doing both SW & CC. I do know however that those who are doing so are doing it in secret as such. SW in its own advertising at the moment says about never need to count a single calorie and in group, I'm not sure what the response would be if you said you were doing both.
With regards to apple cider vinegar, the scientific community seems a little split as to whether it helps, but I've seen people mentioning it before. There's very limited scientific research into the benefits, but I'm a great believer in if it's helping you and you've sought medical advice then fab.
@@busybitchdiet1007 Hi there 😊 Apple Cider Vinegar definitely aids my bloat and tummy weight loss , I'm sure Slimming world bring out App like My fitness Pal soon as or saves on all those books & paper & great for tallying it all up & keeps u focused feeling in control .
Slimming world is so great ,some people abuse the eat until full ...that needs a little tweak & needs to change .
All in all it's a very healthy lifestyle Xx
@@tracymcginty.2860 they do have an app for tracking food, but it's only within the plan - there's never a mention of a calorie, calorie limit, deficit or otherwise - so you remain in the dark. I agree with some of their ideas, I trained with them and delivered it for 2 years, but like you, I think there is more they could be doing to help those who are struggling x
@@busybitchdiet1007 I love your honesty with it all & thank you for such informative posts
Are you loosing more then a pound? Each week, yes healthy way of looking at food. Personal journeys are different xx
You'll just be eating the same stuff except smaller portions, which you should have been doing to begin with, just because you can have something, doesn't mean you should always have it
Sliming world encourage s unhealthy eating , artificial sweeteners and hardly any fats ,, the body needs good fat s
Really found this interesting thankyou , ive not long changed from sw, to cc I would appreciate some guidance to see if I'm doing things right plz

did same two years ago 5 sone lighter now
As Richard Dawkins says. "Science , it works,.......bitches!"
I am not properly following slimming world i calorie count most my food cept veggies but on sw arent you meant to do at least a third of your plate of veg/free super free whatever to help fill you up your meals you mentioned didnt really mention any salad or veggies. You wouldnt have needed as much jacket potato if you had had a salad instead of such a big one etc.. but yes sw is bad news for people who want huge portions and not enough fruit/veg and all the artificial sweeteners etc
Hi Chantelle, I did still hit my 1/3 of speed food in the calculations too, but the intake of the calories of those make little difference to the amount consume in free food. I could easily have the jacket potato, beans and cheese and have a salad on the side and it would make no difference, except adding an extra 50 calories for the salad. It would still easily come in between 400-800 calories or more. My spag bol always included mushrooms, tomatoes, onions etc to again have the 1/3 veg, but would still have been way too much in calories due to the pasta and mince I'd be allowed in unlimited amounts
Calories in...calories out...I just restarted SW to focus my mind but I never eat unlimited amounts of anything as that will take me over what I need to consume to lose weight. My theory is cut the crap and bad sugar and count calories...and keep moving. I concur with everything you say ..I have only ten pounds to lose and if I don't do that before Christmas then I'm back to other methods...and I won't be at SW year on year...
What I don't like about slimming world this it's like a religion you want to mention the word calorie and there is a lot of the mystery around it.
That is too much food, portion size needed,
All that food would be just fine...if you were training for a marathon!
Sadly I wasn't ;)
I'm at slimming world I always count my carloies, do what best for you, I only have 1,000 carloires aday
Thanks for the comment, I'm meeting more and more people who are doing both at the same time which I find interesting. Be careful though, 1000 calories a day is less than the recommended minimum of 1200 a day and it should be calculated to you - your height, weight, age, gender and activity level. Too little and it can negatively impact your weight loss along with other challenges too. If you need any help calculating the level right for you, please let me know
