I don't understand this either. My mum is doing slimming world and her consultant told everyone to go home and throw away any chocolate left over from Christmas if they want to lose weight. Or if not, then to eat it all before they start
This is almost the exact same as what my consultant has said. She told a lady in the group to give all chocolate to the kids, that is damaging and stupid to say. She had also advised my daughter to rejoin slimming world before giving birth and she will be able to monitor her weight loss and will probably win slimmer of the month. Between the terrible advice given, some terrible choices for consultants as Damocles has mentioned and their terrible brand ambassadors, I am thinking of quitting. A few of the others in group are in the same mind set too.

Someone i follow has gained just under a stone in 2 weeks.... I just don't get how they can have gains this big. I ate normally over Christmas, had a lovely Xmas dinner and didn't deprive myself of the chocolate etc I received and actually lost a bit of weight. They must be being absolute pigs

Honestly cannot stand slimming world. Eat as many syn free 1000 calorie breakfasts as you like, but if you eat that 150 calorie chocolate bar you'll be a massive hiefer

This is such bad advice from a consultant - mine just said best way is to work it into your syns so you can still enjoy it

Like that snares, he posted pretty much the same. Trying to make out he's gained 2 stone in a month
he's been featured in yet another newspaper, how he can shout about this and refer to himself as an "awe inspiring slimmer" is something I find laughable. he doesnt look like that anymore, and is he a bit simple? "mom I made it"...who actually posts shit like that?

awe inspiring?





how about fucking jaw dropping that you can put 2 stone on in 5 weeks?

he should contact that newspaper and say sorry, dont feature me because I look like this now



but his out of control ego won't allow that...


sorry, silly me....he's AARON FUCKING SNARES!!!

That amount of a gain shows that he either does not follow the plan or that slimming worlds plan doesn’t work which is bad for the brand. Is it anyones job at Slimming World to keep their consultants following the plan and checking what they are doing?

I'm not sure about that, but the fact he is a consultant and posting that he cooks his bacon with the fat on and then cuts around the fat as he eats it is something I find absolutely staggering...if one of his members does the same and says well, I saw you do it on instagram, so i thought it was ok...how can he do that?? he is a disgrace, its people like him that give slimming world a bad name because done right, it bloody works.

I do think Slimming World gets a bad rep because of these *influencers* try and tweak it to suit their cravings and use food in such weird ways (eg jelly and yogurt as pretend haribo and I know smash was used in different way years ago before my time on the plan) if you just eat normal food as it should be making sure to fill up the plate with vegetables (speed food) and when you fancy a treat have it, but maybe just a smaller portion to fit in with your syns.

They must eat so much to put on 2+ stone in a month. Someone I follow who isn't well known on insta put on 9lb from 23rd -30th Dec. I'd love to see what they've eaten in that time. although it might just be water weight and then they get a bigger Loss the following week

OK so in 2014 I lost three stone on SW. I was happy with my loss but had a long way to go...
My consultant was lovely but she left and a new one took over. She was awful. She’d call me a fatty and shame me at the group meeting because I had a bar of chocolate (I synned it) but yeah that was why I was gaining (even though I religiously followed the plan). Weeks went by, and I kept gaining. She told me to stop stuffing my face . Then she said I needed to up my water and exercise (I was swimming and going to two classes).
There was no ‘support’ and infact it was very unhealthy - told to eat less...
because I lost it so fast, it went back on and more. I’m now 16stone
I think I’m just going to aim to eat better, allow treats and cut alcohol.
How can a fizzy drink for breakfast be OK on slimming world but a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice be the most synned item ever lol
