Quins; back to the plan.

[Quins]

Hi @trw1972 , I think SW is the only plan I've come across where there is no calorie counting and free food includes lean meat and carbs with loads of veg. It's a bizar thing that works....

Jogging to and from station in London with ruck sack, approx 3 miles

B. 2 whole meal toasted quorn sausages x2 syns egg and salad with pepper sauce and ketchup 1 syn.

L. 4 tesco deli counter chicken thighs skin removed , big pile of mixed salad and pepper sauce . 3 syns coleslaw.

D. Picked at chicken thigh, 2 buffalo wings 6 syns, Turkey steaks , a couple of new potatoes, busy packing up house ready for move.

WW yoghurt ,

12 syns

If it works for you quins then it is all good.

I like calorie counting ill admit, i am really sad and record my calories on a spreadsheet, that kind of forces me not to eat crap as the spreadsheet goes red when i exceed my target calories.

Also by forcing me to eat filling foods without too many calories i am eating a tonne of veg, porridge,legumes, lean meat etc which doesnt seem a bad thing.

Ive never tried bufallo, what does it taste like and where do you get it?

 

[Quins]

Ha, mate they are big spicy chicken wings!

Have to say your food looks a lot more appetising than mine! (im living on porridge, chicken breasts, skinless fish, whey shakes and tonnes of veg)

I know slimming world works! i have friends who have lost on it, but it seems to give a lot of freedom calorie wise so i dont know WHY it works since i believe weight loss is done by calories out > calories in

 

[Quins]

@trw1972 , yup, I agree, it's bizarre. I suppose in the long run there must be a calorie deficit. I find it a lifestyle change more than a diet. Was introduced to it circa 2001, when I was 14'10 one Christmas. The weight fell off as I stuffed my face. Couldn't believe it.

Damn nice looking meals, what way do you do your poached eggs, they look perfect every time haha.

To the guy above, slimming world forces you to eat the proper nutrients (fibre, calcium etc) that works together to speed up your metabolism and burn off calories faster. I honestly swear by slimming world, i'm down 2 stone with no effort at all. With the whole counting calories thing, people still eat crap and because it's below their calorie intake they expect it to make them lose weight but the problem is the body isn't always getting the proper nutrition it needs and ends up storing it as backup fat.

Counting calories works for a lot of people, i just don't have the time and the fact that it takes all that extra work means that it would bore me after a while and i'll just not bother. In my eyes slimming world is faultless, if you stick to the 15 syn rule and have your HEXA and HEXB then you're going to lose weight. If you want to lose more simply go nuts on the speed foods.

@Doctor Cox thanks for dropping on, I love my egg poacher at home, but I do use a hack or 2 when using the works microwave. For that I use a Cup, some cokdcwster , break egg into it cover the cup with a saucer and cook ( below 1000) for 20- 30 seconds , then 10 second intervals checking...don't want an eggsplosion..... SW is great, sticking to plan is key, it takes me a few weeks to get in the groove if I've been off plan a while ( recipes , shopping , planning) I had a great kiss in my first week, 4lbs, niecsemnef to have stayed the same for a couple of weeks. Will weigh tomorrow , forgot do it this morning, busy prepping for house move.
