I go to Slimming World - yes you can eat loads but it's not overeating. Overeating is consuming too many calories. If you do that you will gain weight not lose it. But if you are chosing the right kinds of food you can eat big quanities of it. So SW is really great at teaching you to alter your diet for life. Rather than being hypnotised, or having milkshakes etc. I didn't like WW as I could still eat unhealthily even though it was within my points.
With SW, on the Extra Easy plan you can eat, in unlimited quantities fruit, veg, lean meat and poultry, pasta, rice, potatoes, starchy veg.
Then you measure other things like milk/cheese, bread, cereal etc.
Then on top of that you can have "syns". Can use them on choc/wine/crips/mayo/gravy etc - whatever you want.
I love the group I go to - they are all so friendly and supportive. There is no judgement at all. I don't think I could do it without my group. I lost 2st 8lbs and am now 36 weeks pregnant and can still go to group every week to keep an eye on it. Only gained 1st 8lbs so far which I'm chuffed about.
Go to a group - they are brilliant. It's the hardest thing to walk through that door and ask for help - but it's the best thing you'll ever do!
