Slimming World

Re: Slimming World

5 and a half pound in two weeks ?

The evidence suggests that's way too fast

Good luck though

A lot of it is water weight.
My beer gut has halved though.

Good on you mate. I did Keto a year or so ago. I'm not a big bloke, 5ft 7 and was weighing in at 12st4. I really felt it around my stomach area, really tight feeling. I got down to 10st 10 in about 8 weeks. Couldn't keep it at that, but currently knocking about the 11st 2 mark, and happy with that. Good luck

Re: Slimming World

in my case eat general foods moderately , eat junk food moderately , only drink alcohol on weekends but the trick is regular exercise

running and exercise hard 3 times a week for the last 5 months has seen a great improvement for me .Feeling fitter now than i was 15 years ago and don't bother even checking my weight these days just feel alot better both mentally and physically . just hope i can keep it up throughout the winter months !

Re: Slimming World

If you are simplistically telling me a rate of 4 lb a week is in every case unhealthy then sorry we will just have to disagree. It's not average, but is not uncommon at all. As for whether it stays off or not being a rarity it's an achievement you either fail at or you achieve - that is the failure of the person's overall life skills over and above anything else. If you are looking for long term good weight/health then do the work and research in getting to that - if you have a lot to lose and don't mind losing it over a matter of years, with no rush regarding the meantime effects on your health, by all means go ahead with slow weight loss, but at the same time independent of that short term dieting for weight loss is effective and shouldn't be scoffed at or completely written off. One size certainly does not fit all.

Be very careful David Lemma, you're dealing with an expert on everything here

Well I know for a fact that dai lemma , as he's also known is not a qualified NHS dietician

Whereas the one pound a week weight loss target is the one those very people , who surely know their stuff , preach

Dai is also known by another name and he gives similar advice , unsurprisingly

Both are incorrect

That suggests that these diets don't work as you have lost a lot in 8 weeks and put a lot of it back on

Well you are not an NHS dietician and that's what they think so you better e mail them pronto

Short term crash and replacement diets are ineffective in that they are generally not maintained

It's all very well losing 2 stone for a wedding but if 3 months later it's all back on then that diet is clearly a failure

Sludge i don’t agree at all.

Depends on individual people and how it’s done

4lb a week is perfectly healthy for the body it’s just whether the mind can cope

Re: Slimming World

My ex used to do slimming world, biggest load of shite going. "today is a green day so I can eat this mountain of pasta". The best version for me is to eat a bit less, be a bit more active and avoid sweet things sugar OR artificial sweetners

That's not how Slimming World works. It is all about getting you used to eating smaller portions of healthy foods.

I was thinking of Weight Watchers, not Slimming World. I don't have experience of Slimming World.

Sludge, i was never going to stay at 10 st 10, i don't have the shape. I weigh in now between 11 and 11st 2. That shows that it does work if you maintain a sensible diet.

Are you basing this on any research ?

Because if you are then I am certain that NHS dieticians would have heard of it

One pound a week is what they say is the right rate of weight loss

So 4 pounds , if we are accepting these people know what they are talking about , is clearly not

Re: Slimming World

One of the problems with losing too much weight in a week is your likely to be losing muscle as well which isnt great.

Indeed

It's not good for you

Boxers and body builders starve themselves before a competition but they have plenty of muscle density in back up
