SW vs VLCD

Ok im not comparing them because we all know SW is healthier and safer.

For the past 5years I have tried 100 times over and over to stick to food replacement diets and always fail... That's why I'm now here lol. this is the first week if my SW journey and I'm really loving cooking and actually eating but the problem is I'm so use to doing VLCD that I feel like I'm failing by eating so much.

For e.g tonight I added some oxo into my SW chilli (had no syns all day) and now I feel like I've cheated. It's so strange :(

Oxo? As in a stock cube? I'm pretty sure they are syn free :)

I totally understand the "guilt" feeling though.. But you're doing well :)

Great results and I not feel like there is anything I can't have

Yep, it says in my book under "Storecupboard Staples" that stocks and concentrates in cube form are syn free. If its gravy granules, some have syns, but the cubes are free :)
And in the syns list, they are under "Savoury Sauces and Gravies" and it says free on all plans

So kick that guilt to the curb missus!!!!!
 
Trust the plan! I remember in my first week thinking I was eating too much and on they way there regretting that I'd had big cooked breakfasts a few times that week but had 4.5 lbs off :)
Have you been using your syns?

Yeah I've had between 5 and 11 syns each day xxx

I use loads of stock cubes! Lol I put 2 beef ones in spag Bol (I make like a 5 portion spag Bol) so don't worry.

when you're eating plenty, that's when you lose better in my experience. Weeks where I've felt like a right pig and ate lots of yummy slimming world food then ill go to weigh in and lose 3lb! Lol x
