OK Here goes, Crunchies definative guide to Slimming WOrld.
It is not food combining, it is 'food optimising' if you want to believe the hype. Basically it has Red and Green days and they work as follows:
Red Day
Free Food - eat as much as you want cooked without added fat (also trim all fat off before cooking, although you can leave skin on poultry, just don't eat it)
