Some Slimming World Questions

[Mandymoo]

1. Is it any good?

2. How does it work if you cat "eat loads"? 3. Do people actually lose weight on it?

Thanx

yes it is good. you eat loads and still lose weight. i have lost 12lb in seven weeks and i havent stuck to it religously every day.
example menus of what i eat:

Green day:
B- 28g oat crunch, sliced banana, muller light
L- 2 jacket pots, tin baked beans, 28g cheddar, muller light
D- quorn bolognese with lots of pasta, 42g mozzarella, fruit or mulle light

snacks- fruit, muller light, pasta n sauce or savoury rice

unlimited diet drinks all day

red day:
B- same as green day
L- bacon sarnies on two slices med wholemeal bread(1.5 syns), fruit or yoghurt
D- salmon or steak with lots of salad, fruit or yoghurt

snacks- yoghurts, fruit, whole roast chicken or two, wafer thin ham

i use my syns usually in recipes or for the odd biscuit or something

i have done WW and starved on that but as you can tell i dont starve on this

are muller lights free foods then? I'm only having one a day but could eat more but i thought they had syns value

the normal muller lights are free as are most other yoghurts that are less than 0.1% fat. the muller light cakes are syns but not alot. the apple pie and cherry bakewell are 1 syn per pot and the lemon cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding are 1/2 syn per pot. i generally live on mullerlights when im doing slimming world, it also ensures i get enough calcium as i dont like milk.

There is normally a good list of free or low syn ready meals etc in the magazine. the new one is out now i think

I think it's great. There isn't any need to be hungry as there is so much free food you can eat. I tend to snack all day on things like grapes, strawberries, apples and bananas. I also have crabsticks and carrot sticks. They do the hi-fi bars that are really nice, and a healthy extra, so I have one of those mid afternoon as a replacement for a twix or something. The Mince Pie ones are flippin' gorgeous.

I always do red days. Today my lunch was a jacket spud and cottage cheese, followed by a tub of fresh pineapple. For my evening meals I have things like steak or gammon and jacket spud with peas, or chicken with oven roasted carrot, courgette and sweet potato. I do sweet potato chips instead of real chips and can have that with a plate full of ham and a fried egg.

I've lost 1 stone 5lb on it over about 10-12 weeks. There is honestly loads that you can eat to stick to the plan.

oooh yeah, i cant wait for the mince pie hifis to come out again. im partial to choc orange ones at the moment

Hi - I'm a new mumsnetter and haven't posted much. So big hello to everyone.

I am however, a bit of an evangelical SW person. I've lost in total : 4 stone and 1lb!!. I'm managing to keep it off - in fact it now seems quite hard to keep it on (sorry!). It is a brilliant way of eating, you never have to be hungry and you can eat loads, which is actually quite hard to get your head round when you start. I mean, whoever thought you could have a cooked breakfast whilst on a diet, or unlimited pasta and potatoes come to that.

Good luck to everyone following the plan.
