Slimming World query - can anyone help?

[ceebeegeebies]

Am now on day 5 of SW and have found it fairly easy to do and very liberating from my usual calorie counting diets...but I am still really hungry most of the time

Am I doing something wrong or should I be hungry?

Am eating loads of the free foods - in fact, far more than I would have done previously so surely I shouldn't be hungry?

However, it is a different kind of hunger which I can only put down to the fact that I am not eating my usuall sugary crap/chocolate/cakes etc so my blood sugar is staying more stable (I used to get really shaky and faint if I was hungry whereas this week, I have never felt like that once despite being hungry all the time!)

Oooh I dunno then. Your leader will be able to advise. Maybe it's all in the mind because you think you are on a diet and therefore should be hungry.

Are you eating lots of fruit as snacks too?

Yes, I am eating tons and tons of pasta, potatos and rice - because I am not eating my tea until the DC are in bed today, I had a 5pm 'snack' of a huge bowl of pasta

I am eating my syns aswell - am doing everything I should but am still hungry

Are you eating plenty of filling stuff, like pasta and potatoes?
Make sure you have some syns each day too.
