Could I do the SP plan long term?

[Slipshoddiness]

I’m thinking of signing up to SW and following the sp plan.

I’ve read that it’s only meant to be followed for a few weeks at a time, but the thing is the food that’s ‘allowed’ is what I should be eating anyway (diagnosed yesterday with PCOS and insulin resistance - so potatoes and carbs are out of the picture)

I’ve been researching it online and figure I could use the ‘healthy A’ for some cheese, the healthy b for nuts and seeds, and sin some olive oil, avocado, treats etc.

I take a pretty good multi vitamin and will have to avoid refined sugar, bread, potatoes and pasta anyway (I think a sweet potato and some quinoa is fine, so I could maybe have a ‘normal sw week sometimes)

Has anyone tried it long term? Do you think it could work?

I did it for just over 2 months and lost two stone. Then got pregnant so I stopped. I think it's a very good plan and should be promoted more rather than some secret deal under the table. (Not a sw fan!)

I used to take olive oil as my b even though it's not on the list any more.

Wow that’s impressive!

Thank you, yes it looks really good but I had to do some digging around to actual find the details. I couldn’t find them on the official sw site.

I’m going to join tomorrow, quite excited really 😁

I'm an online member and there is lots more info about sp online.

I follow it and have lost 1/2 stone so far, 1 1/2 to go.

I'm thinking of doing this too. I have a horrific sugar addiction and am prediabetic so I would like to cut down some carbs but would still like someproper stoneground wholemeal bread. I was thinking if I went on a sugar detox I could use all my syns on fat like full fat dairy and olive oil and it would be far healthier. You aren't allowed the infamous Muller Lights and I could use spray oil instead of fry light, so 2 of the main things Im not sure are exactly great for you to eat can be cut out.

Can someone share the basic principles please?

The basic principle is that you eat only speed and protein foods, so the ones in your book that have an s or p beside it. You have your hex a and two hex b and still have your suns. You can't have yoghurt, potatoes, rice or pasta even synned.

I think you could do it long term as it Is still a healthy way of eating...

Also, olive oil is still a HEb isn't it?
