Interesting to read peeps thoughts on calorie counting/portion control on SW as I've seen a few posts on this subject recently on minimins as well. I find it a bit depressing though tbh, as for me the appeal of SW is a sense of freedom from all that. I can see the logic in it though, and at the day if it helps your weight loss good luck with it.:starmod:C'est la vie:starmod:0 -
