Brand new thread for Slimming World support

consultant31

Hello and welcome to yet another shiny new thread for all followers of Slimming World.

The Original and Green plans are still going strong but most people may well have heard of the new Extra Easy plan which is sweeping through the land If you've ever wondered if it works, I promise you it does. If you've ever wondered how it works - well the science confuses me, but I would just say to trust the experts at SW, they wouldn't send you on the wrong path.

If you fancy having a go at it, here are the official 'rules' to ensure that you not only lose weight regularly but get all the nutrition your body needs to function well:-

Extra Easy:


1: Choose your Free Food

Anything that’s Free Food on Green OR Original – so that’s pasta, rice, potatoes, lean meat, poultry, fish and all the Superfree food – is totally Free on Extra Easy! Yes, you can eat unlimited meat, potatoes and veg, fish, chips and mushy peas, and chicken curry and rice with no measuring, no weighing, no counting – no kidding!
And for super-fast, super healthy results, fill one third of your plate with Superfree Food!
2: Choose your Healthy Extras

Each day select one Healthy Extra ‘a’ choice and one Healthy Extra ‘b’ choice from our simplified list of calcium and fibre-filled foods, including milk, cheese, bread and cereal.
3: Enjoy 5-15 Syns each day

And if the Syn values for Green and Original foods are different on the standard Syns lists, count the lower one!

---

If you find your weight loss has slowed down or stopped, check………
1.Whether everything you're counting as Free, is Free

2.Whether you're under-estimating Syn values (over-estimate if guessing)

3.Whether you're counting everything that should be counted

4.Whether you're measuring everything that should be measured

5.Whether you're sabotaging your success in any other way (using SAS logs will help uncover individual long-term self-sabotage patterns) and, if none of these is the culprit, either...........

A: increase the proportion of Superfree Foods to half of your plate

OR

B: switch to more Speed Foods

And above all, if you follow the plan, any plan, 100% you will lose weight!

Good morning and thank you for the welcome.

Consultant 31 ~ I love that you put "if you follow the plan, any plan, 100% you will loose weight" - I need to keep reminding myself that I can reach my goal if only I follow the rules!!

I've got a funny old weekend coming up, all over the place and no food planned (well, we are probably eating out tonight so I shall order steak and salad).
Starting the day with some fruit, yoghurt and a little bit of toast.

have a good day everyone.

oooh I love a new thread and as a long time lurker I felt the need to post:pI do my SW from home as I use it as a maintenance diet after losing the bulk of my excess flab by low carbing.This week has been a difficult one for me as its been * week and I've been feeling bloated and yuck all week,this morning I weighed in and I've lost 4lbs!!! Chuffed to little bobbers with that and I havent been that good a girl eating wise this week either.Anyone who says they cant lose weight easily on this eating plan is crazy cos its so easy to live with.I also love the support on this and previous threads as it can be quite daunting changing your eating habits and reading the posts on previous threads has been so educational for me.Thanks Girls
