Can I do slimming world with just the books?

[nikki1978]

I wanted to join SW but all the classes near me are at times that I can't do :( I looked online but couldn't afford that in one go so I just bought these books on ebay:-

Food Optimising
Body Magic
Extra Easy
Mix and Max
40 Fabulous Recipes

I tend to be motivated to keep going by myself, I just need a plan to follow.

How does it work anyway? Can you still eat a fair bit of food?

Yes you can but you might struggle a bit with the syns.You can still do any of the old plans but most people in my class do Extra Easy. It is 1 A choice and 1 B choice, free food from red or green but you have to fill your plate at each meal with a third of what they call superspeed- veg apart from spud, parsnips, peas and sweetcorn and fruit. 5-15 syns a day and they encourage you to fill up with meals and have superfree snacks if you need anything in between.

Come over to a SW thread and we will give you a hand.

There are also weekly meal planners in the magazines, might be worth buying a mag or two to get an idea of how to do it day by day, that's how I started before going to group.
