Slimming World

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Quick fixes don't exist, if you have stones to shift - that is going to take you months of discipline which is not quick in anyones book.

However VLCDs (800 cals) - can and have been known to reverse chronic diabetes some have suffered from for decades, and if properly executed and followed can be the catalyst for someone achieving truly lasting change.

I may wish to give up a cigarette smoking habit but never bother trying because when I go back to old habits it's proven not to be the answer. I'd be wrong to never bother trying though.

It goes without saying those overweight need to develop healthier fitness and eating options. You are far more likely to arrive at those through undertaking a diet than not doing so and instead having your 3 bag of crisps of the day! 'Diets' are far too easily written off by people who end up in inaction anyway!

People say oh I lost 3 stone in a year

That sounds way too fast to me

If you take a overweight dog or cat to a vet, they’ll tell you to cut down the animals food intake and exercise more, why are humans any different?

That’s all we need is a simple calorie calculator for your daily allowance of calories, don’t go too low with it and don’t exclude any food groups and exercise throughout the week whether that’s a little walk or a marathon.

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.

I lost 20kg (over 3 stone) in 10 weeks on keto. And I wasn't massive to begin with - 93kg/205lb.

That was over a ago. I've been between 73kg and 75kg since- I've no intention to lose more weight.

Never sure why the focus is on weight tho. Seems a very crude measure
The trick is to lose fat and maintain metabolism. Nail that with a diet you enjoy and you are sorted.
