SW teaches us the best foods to fill up on, but their information is misleading. SW needs to say a portion of pasta with a blanced meal is zero syns. Also it is not possible to eat whatever we want on SW using the SYNs, some items are over the syn allowance for 1 day. Fancy a Bounty Bar? It is 36 syns, even one half would go over the daily allowance. It is magical thinking to believe we can over eat as much SW free food as we want and lose weight. It is common sense to eat no more than 3 to 4 times and use portion control to see a weight loss.

Lol makes me laugh how people think SW are promoting you to eat free foods, it does not mean you stuff your face eating 2 jacket potatoes or a huge mountain of pasta/rice! They, quite clearly, state that you should have free food with 1/3 of speed and 1/3 of protein. People clearly cannot understand portion control and end up scoffing food like a gluttanous pig because it is "free"

Are you loosing more then a pound? Each week, yes healthy way of looking at food. Personal journeys are different xx

This is very interesting. 😊People loose weight though on slimming world. But yes I left due to food anxiety, syns are stupid. Going out for a meal also was dreadful. Calorie counting I chill a bit more now. Eat healthy, but also not obsessing😊Jess x

Dietitian told me today sw and ww set you up to fail so they can make £££

Love this. Someone saw the light and spoke out. Never believed this plan as never worked for me. Tried Cc 2yrs agon lost 4.5stone and keeping it off!! Cc works no going back. Honest review here. Love it.

I tried SW and put weight on .Then I started calorie counting the SW meals .Omg it was off the scale .But it works for a lot of people but sadly not me . Calorie counting definitely works for me . Keep going if it's working tho .😊

Thank you. I’ve joined SW and then quit because it doesn’t work so so many times. I blamed myself that I didn’t do it right. I struggled with speed food because no one in my house will eat those things which left me with food waste. I tried to clamp down and stop coming up with my own ideas and only eat what I found on the app or in the hundreds of £ I spent on cookbooks. Again, leaving me with food waste. And it didn’t work. It never worked. I’d get tiny losses and then gains and then losses. And the only way I’d lose is to COUNT and then tell lies in group about how I was on plan which left me feeling bad for lying and worrying about being exposed. So I’d quit, AGAIN. And the doubt I’d feel in what others were saying in group left me feeling like a big fat grump. I’d come away thinking, that 5lb loss you got, you just didn’t eat. Don’t lie that you ate nothing but pasta dishes and hundreds of yogurts. Ha. And sitting there clapping for losses knowing when it was your turn you’d hear the awww what can you do next week to get a result. I’d be like, starve because I was 100% on plan. Only to be told, you must have had too many syns. Errrm no, I had too many potatoes! 😡 But anyway, I’m so happy to hear of someone else that says it didn’t work for them. My friend got to target. It works for her. I was so jealous and hid my feelings from her. And she is my friend, I shouldn’t have to do that. Not to mention telling her lies about what I was doing to get results. Quitting freed me from stress and guilt. I still struggle but now I know it’s because i made bad choices that week and not because I’m a failure. Will definitely follow you because it’s great to find someone that understands the struggle. Thank you again.

I am doing calorie counting....I think Slimming World make it complicated just so you can't go it alone.

My friend has lost 21lb in 7 weeks on SW and eats none stop! I'm talking massive lunches and stuff. I however don't eat as much as her, I'm within a sensible deficit and can't get more that 1lb off as a mean number. I'm upset and frustrated. I'm convinced my friend is taking something and not declaring it as her losses are 3.5 and 4lb every single week without fail. 😒

Ww and sw are biggest con going ! Keep u on a plan / method u cannot come off ! Or works for some as it’s a cal deficit … these people are not taught anything !

What I don't like about slimming world this it's like a religion you want to mention the word calorie and there is a lot of the mystery around it.

did same two years ago 5 sone lighter now

Great video. Thanks for posting!

So I’m doing SW but this time I’m coming from a CC mindset. I’m intermittent fasting until lunch and then having a super free lunch and some fruit (nothing overboard), my ‘free food’ (rice, pasta) I’m still weighing to ensure I don’t go crazy. I portion out food…if it says it serves 4 then that’s what I do…I make 4 portions. If it says that it’s free, I take that as it’s low calorie so it’s ok to have a rationed portion of it. I drink mainly water, black coffee and the occasional sugar free squash. I stay relatively low on the syns front (between 1-5).

I know it is easy to go under or over what you need, but this menu as described is not fully on plan because you are supposed to have one third of your plate as speed food (very low calorie) which makes it impossible to fit half a pack of spaghetti, half a pack of mince, or the extra spud on your plate, unless you were eating from a bin lid. Only the oats meal was "fully on plan" . Customers are also advised to eat until they are satisfied, not eat all they can.

I’ve looked at Slimming World diet and have thought how can you have as much of you like of free food. Calories do count.

How can I find the link to your channel

Hi would you be able to tell me how many calories I should have a day to lose weight, I'm a female, 63 year old, 5ft 3in tall , weigh 157 BLS , moderately active, thankyou carole

Well that’s pointless 🙄

I started calorie counting still at slimming world being ally 20 syns per day. I lost 3lbs BUT had double syns and still lost. I feel more in control in calorie counting knowing how well I’ve done on a daily basis. Thanks for the video x

You'll just be eating the same stuff except smaller portions, which you should have been doing to begin with, just because you can have something, doesn't mean you should always have it

My only fear here is that I am a junk food eater so instead of using my calories on proper food I would straight ahead go to, chocolate, crisps and wine for example, watched this because I too seem to have come to a standstill with slimming world

Assumption will be made that if you are losing weight you have to put yourself in a calorific deficit without counting calories because you are doing so on the slimming world plan.

Good video. Thanks for posting.. When calorie counting you realise which foods keep you full and which don't. For me.. Eggs or a big salad. Low cal, don't need to eat for 8 hours after.. Nutrient rich, the pounds fall off

Absolutely correct!

Having studied nutrition prior to joining slimming world I think the thing that people forget is slimming world is teaching us the better options for our bodies the more fuel like foods rather than calorie counting as calorie counting tends to make people more restrictive of what they eat and they will be more likely to fall off… slimming world is long term you can’t calorie count your whole life or just until you get to where you want or you will just end up putting the weight back in quickly afterward. Overall weight loss is calories in vs calories out but surely you would rather over eat on something knowing it’s doing good for the body 🤷🏽‍♀️

Where is the link?

Hi please can you share the link for feel amazing channel ? Xx

No link to your other channel.

Can't see link ?

Sorry but where is the link please

What is the best calorie counting book to get please …

As Richard Dawkins says. "Science , it works,.......bitches!"

Exactly! I had no education regarding the importance of the inclusion of protein which I have found out is VITAL to fat loss. Also weight loss does not equal fat loss. Needless to say I left. I am now inches down after joining a gym, increasing protein and resistance training.

I do calorie counting but with Sw as it is healthy eating; Slimming world does say at the start of book says every thing in moderation. If I'm on plan I come out at 1200 calories

I also think the our lifestyles play a huge part, I lost 5 stone (I have put 1.5st back on) in six months (I am a man, also), but I went from eating everything all day to basically cooked chicken for lunch, mugshot as a snack etc, like not proper meals but tbh I am very lazy and do not cook so I was happy eating like that, but I was going to the gym ALL the time! So if I ate more (and I never did SW properly, like 80%) I would continue to lose weight, however when I met my partner all we did was walking so we would be going to buffets all the time and I would still lose weight, and I mean some days we would walk 10 miles and this was quite a normal thing so I was eating awfully but I was still losing weight. We now live together and both work FT and honestly I struggle so much, I keep binge eating and I have no idea where that comes from and definitely do not do the exercise we once did, barely leave the house a lot of the time! Now my mum has lost doing CC, she cannot do SW (for the reasons you describe in your video) and she’s doing extremely well. Now I just cannot do it, I’m too much of an eater and I think it’s that element of SW that I like, where I would eat less than CC, because I find with CC I eat all my calories too early and then I’m starving in the evening and then think f**k it, I’ve failed, I’ll binge which obviously explains the weight gain. Really this is just my observation and totally not a criticism, more at myself. I think like for me at least it’s still having that control, and I find with CC you can have anything, but I think that can be a detriment to some, especially me as like I said I’ll eat all my calories too early, but on SW I wouldn’t do that. Really good video though!!

So true! You are telling it as it is. I hated the meetings, the clapping and condescension! People made to feel small as gained half a pound! Ww the same, never again.

Brilliant! You are saying what needs to be said! All so true

£50 a month for a group zoom meeting and a text? 😂

That is too much food, portion size needed,

Hey , how are you getting on with the calorie counting? 🌼

Calories in...calories out...I just restarted SW to focus my mind but I never eat unlimited amounts of anything as that will take me over what I need to consume to lose weight. My theory is cut the crap and bad sugar and count calories...and keep moving. I concur with everything you say ..I have only ten pounds to lose and if I don't do that before Christmas then I'm back to other methods...and I won't be at SW year on year...

Is it very expensive to become a consultant, what a fantastic vid,

Where do you get the calorie diet

Totally agree 100 million trillion % It’s basic science, eat less move more. That’s it 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s not just SW it’s WW too

PS I wasn’t eating enough calories on WW now I’m loosing steadily

Was WW and after YEARS I’m now calorie counting with Nutra calories
